I use this, atm. Mostly because I really like berserker and I don’t want to play gunflame. It performs better than I expected, damage is nice and survivability is imo better than vanilla warr. And I just love headbutt.

I still oscillate between ruby T2 and T5 with my massive win/lose streaks…

I am also trying to “climb up” as power warrior(100% soloq, warr). I am using a build very similar to yours, only running balanced stance instead of frenzy.
Right now, I’m stuck at T4 Ruby, my goal is at least diamond. So far, I feel as if I was playing worse version of scrapper or rev.
Most of the problems come from teams running heal ele+druid combo, which is also one of the causes of my huge losing streak today.

Hopefully, tomorrow it will be better.

Urge to run reaper much stronger.
Must. Resist.

I can confirm everything that Rekt said above. I used to main necro until I leveled warrior and fell in love with it – mobility, durability and immersing gameplay. Yes, you have to pick those three trait lines and if you go to wvw, GS is pretty much mandatory, but you can still try bunch of builds and also have fun with the rifle. As for me, I am playing pretty much only warrior now, it is that much fun for me.

Hello, Blurry.
First off, thank you for sharing your build with us. I have been running something very similar and I completely agree with choice of traiting into CS instead of DA. I have been only using blind on stealth (have to try Shadows Rejuvenation, if it works for you!) and withdraw as heal with trickster talent to remove conditions. I have to ask: Have you tried this? For me, it works a little bit better than Hide in Shadows – but it also feels like waste of trait, because only one ability benefits from it. But yeah, after all, it is personal preference.
Second question I have is about runes. I simply cant play thief without +25% movement speed, so I use Traveler runes to have one extra utility to use. Ofc, Wurm gives you more vitality and crit damage, but is it enough to justify sacrifice of one utility slot?

I consider myself to be mediocre thief, so I am always trying to learn something. Thanks again for posting your build!

Hey, I will share my WvW build with you. I’d like to point out that this is something that works for me and might not be the most powerful wvw build. I am still testing and experimenting with new traits…

Skills: Withdraw as healing for more utility and condi clear (with Trickster trait, explained below), Infiltrator signet is a must for me, shadow refuge and ofc shadowstep, something that I can’t live without. Basilisk Venom is also usual choice.

Traits:
Deadly Arts – I still don’t know if this is better than Critical Strikes. A have seen ppl running CS and have great success with it. It has slightly more damage (IMO), but I missed Mug and Executioner (Exe. over Improv. for more pressure, must have)

Trickery is pretty obvious, as I was unable to play effectively without it. I only run Trickster over Bountiful Theft, as trickster lowers heal cd and gives it a one more condi clear (yeah, I only run that trait because of one ability, LOL ). So, feel free to swap Trickster for Bountiful Theft, if it works for you better. I might try it tonight.

Shadow Arts – Must for me in WvW. You can do well without it in spvp, but the extra condi clear and blind on CnD is just must have. Sadly, you can no longer use Cloaked in Shadows together with Shadow’s Rejuvenation, sou your only heal in stealth is the Shadow Protector trait. Does anyone play D/D without Cloaked in Shadows?

As for gear, I run half zerk and half valk, and I just love the Traveler runes. Sigils are purely optional, they are not the best in slot.. currently looking for something to replace them with. Maybe swap accuracy for Sigil of Air?

Note: I am still learning the profession, so any tips are welcome.

I also cant seem to make D/D work. I run crit (just prefer it over DA), SA and Trick. My sustain is non existent compared to D/P. I run half valk/half zerk gear with both builds. I am not saying that thief is weak, at least the d/p set is working for me. But d/d is much more fun and I would love to roam with it in wvw. If anyone could point me to any good build or give me some advice, I would be grateful.
