Half Orrian half…Krait? I think
Cool thank you for the quick replies. My build is currently 25 DA 30 Acro and 15 Trickery. Full Carrion gear. Trying to get the most condition damage I can for my poison/bleed build. I’m around 1750 ATM.
Does exposed weakness affect condition damage? (when enemy is afflicted with a condition you do 10% more damage)
if so, wouldn’t it be more “condition damage” to put 25 points into Deadly Arts and 15 in Trickery than to max Trickery?
With my build I go from 1889 Condition Damage to 1739 when I drop 15 points out of Trickery which is an 8% drop
but I then gain 10% damage when I put those points into Deadly Arts.
Please feel free to call me an idiot if I am missing something obvious =)
OHHHH do you mean it’s cost makes it so you can’t “dodge a lot” relative to anyone else?
If so spending trait points in acrobatics makes endurance refund when you dodge so you can in fact dodge more.
I’m not sure I understand the dodge part.
“I have read that you must really dodge a lot as a thief but I find it rather impractical due to it’s intensive use of endurance.”
it costs the same for everyone, and its the only thing that uses endurance…so what does it’s cost matter? Not trying to be rude, maybe I am misreading it.
Post your favorite short bow pics!
I thought about going CS instead of DA but I wasn’t sure what gear to use that would keep me somewhat beefy. Is there an exotic Power/Precision/Vitality set for PvE?
Would you go Condition or Crit focused? Is this for Dungeons, sPvP or WvW?
IMO if you are going 20 into acrobatics I’d consider Assassin’s Reward. It is the bees knees.
Also what do you think of my PvE build? =)
have to copy paste text link doesnt work
Yeah I was thinking about switching the runes around a bit for a different 2 piece bonus, maybe poison duration or toughness. Thanks for the feedback I can’t wait to give it a shot. Anyone else have thoughts?
Are there ANY medium armor options that do not have a coat/dress/skirt/kilt? I would just like to have pants.
The duelist set is the only one I know of and it requires that you are a female. I am not.
[Copy/Paste Link clicking it says Bad Link]
The idea is to apply as much poison (via Steal/Choking Gas/Spider Venom) and bleed (via Death Blossom/Cluster Bomb/Caltrops/Dodge) as possible while being somewhat hard to kill through high vitality/healing via Signet of Malice/Assassin’s Reward and lots of dodging/Disabling Shot and Infiltrator’s Arrow.
Downside is a lack of condition removal and blinds, and very little stealth.
My computer is currently busted so I can’t try the build out myself, so I just wanted to get some opinions.

What gear would you use with that setup? I’m not sure what names have crit on them, also what runes?
I really love playing my Thief in WvW and Dungeons but am struggling to find a build/gear combination that feels right for me and was hoping to get some help here.
My absolute favorite weapon for my Thief is the Short Bow, the poison field and cluster bomb are incredibly fun, the evade and shadow step arrow are incredibly useful…what else can I say I just love it and would really enjoy building around it primarily.
My problem is that most builds I see that use bow are venom share builds, and I hate spending ALL my traits making venoms worth using and only when I am standing 3 inches from allies. I get that it is a good build, don’t mean to bash it, it just isn’t for me.
However, I do still want to be supportive to a group and not just another glass cannon backstabbing thief. So my question is: Is there a good build that focuses on being a non squishy group supporting short bow using thief that isn’t venom share? If so what is it and what gear/runes work best. If not, how close can I get? Lol
I am a 55 Thief who really needs help, thank you in advance for your time.
