Guild Wars 2

What a great guide! Thanks for posting this for all of us. I like the detailed sections on pve and pvp. The Stolen Abilities chart is helpful as well. The detailed guides for fractals and dungeons are also very helpful. I also like how you’ve included pictures. It’s always interesting to see how others develop their thieves appearance wise. My go-to references are usually the guides posted at dulfy.net, which are great but seem to be short on theory (overall discussion) and heavy on definition.

Thief is a unique beast. It’s my sole profession that I play as I’ve promised myself to only play regularly a single character on GW2. Sometimes I get frustrated with the sometimes ‘squishiness’ of thieves but overall, they are a fun profession game-play and lore wise. It definitely is a profession that keeps you on your toes; requiring agility and fast thinking in tricky situations.

Like Lobo says, P/P is viable and fun in certain situations. I’ve found that I like to pull out my pistols during pve or world bosses. The advantage that I’ve found with P/P over shortbows is that P/P doesn’t have the arrow bounce trait that can get you in trouble when dealing with tightly packed areas or when you’re trying to minimize enemy aggro. Plus dual wielding pistols just looks great.

I still have so much to learn concerning thieves (pvp, raids). You’re guide will help me along that path.
