really nice build man….i can just imagine it working with a trapper ranger and a mesmer/elementalist…..i will try some change, using venomous aura , skale venom over tripwire and caltrops over shadow trap, but ty alot man =]

he’s probably crying because anet took away the 4th bounce from mirror blade, like 99% of the mesmer community
imagine if was the trait that give 30% more damage if the enemy its not casting skill…..
well with that post i can only imagine 2 ways: the thief must be a awesome player, or the mesmer must be a terrible one, anyway, let’s just wait him to leave or learn more about other classes
you can try run d/d + s/p, cause if you start the attack with a little backstab xD
Hi guys,
I’ve been out of GW2 for quite awhile, and I’m about to return. I always loved playing my thief (and it was my main), and I usually ran with S/P. Awhile ago I think it was a viable weapon set for many things, or at least, I did pretty well with it.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Build-for-Thief-S-P/first#post5285426Did it go downhill/is it way outmatched by D/D and P/P builds and stuff now?
hey man i made a post a while ago about a S/P build, here is the link….it worked pretty well for me, using the invisibility not to “walk safe” but if i need to run away or get a little time to use the venom…just as survive skill in battle, not offensive
look man, i would recomend vitality…once toughness to be useless….(well i say useless can even if you have an 3k+ armor with 20k hp you can get killed by mesmer in less then 2s, before it even shows up, making the option of life be more useful)
good post man, i’m really up to try a condi build for thief….using the build editor i made that one….you think it might work for roamming(solo or small group) what do you think?

I used p/p/ before, I use p/p now. I don’t miss ricochet. Move on
same here with DD
i adapted
done deal
you use that build for roamming WvW? could send a link in any build creator? i miss the d/d or d/p so much….
by now i’m using the acro trait with sword/pistol, so i have like 3 shadowstep + 4 stun break, and 2 condition clean, but is a rogue build “hit and run to hit again, if the second hit fail, run to save your life”

i run valk set with assassin/berserker weapon and zerker trinkets, i have a low critical chance(about 37%) so i need food and oil to increase it, i don’t use CA trait, i prefere ACRO cause of the effects we get to not be chilled/crippled always, also have an passive stun break….i know its not the most inteligent thing but was somehow “working” in a 1×1 against good players, but 2×1 must run as fast as possible
there is a ranger in the forums crying that thieves do 20+k backstabs from stealth on him all the time xD
so cutei guess he’s lv 2 with constant 25 vuln ^^
wooooooow 20k+ backstab he must trying to fight Caithe(imagine he fighting a d/d ele…..it shall be 50k dammage xD) or he simple don’t use any set without trait and no signet of stone…..really man i have a ranger, need 2~3 backstab to kill it and 2 skills and i kill the thief……that people who don’t play thief and call us OP…i wish THEY got so hard nerf, so they could stop talk things like that
Agree with that, man if things continue like that, it would be easy if arena net just give a dagger to mesmer, start call it illusionary assassin, and remove thief once for all from the game, cause crap, they do EVERYTHING to ruin the class, and seems they even don’t see thief topic…..in every topic from other class you see they reply and keep a conversation with them, but here, where is the “thief representative”, with all respect but it seems he don’t exist, each day since the patch came, less i do things with thief, he simple became a PvE character(even the s/p i posted is good, but still out of thief real role, and survive), and other if they make “any” change, the others will start complain since if you don’t kill a thief in 1~2 hit anymore will be considered “OP”
I know thats sounds strange “S/P”, but after the stupid nerf thief took, that build was somehow working fine(better then the others i tested), the 2 most important thing to know is:
1-Black Powder is not to active invisibility skill(once we don’t have leap to do so)
2-Invisibility its our way to survive,don’t waste it
the role of that build is : strike fast, hard and if you don’t kill get back to regain some “force” and strike again, if you can’t handle a second round or the enemy survive it, run(i know the most of the thieves player will understand how to use it) it worked in WvW and PvP, but also only work for 1×1.....i hope arena net don’t screw it too….
here is the full build http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQNAsaVl0MhSnY3Tw8Jw/EHwElPMOj2QnABwu1ziQMRB-TVCFABHq+DAPAgrUCikyLBOFAJpEpm9HSTfwCHBgAAIAczbezbezbWKA9EaB-w
NO thief does not need vitality increase.
we just need more surviving tools on skills or utility skills and some of our old trait back
i don’t know if everyone will agree with this but somethings that may help:
1º feline’s trait back
2º spider venom/skale venom/ice drake venom/devourer venom are pretty useless now, and have high CD, what about reduce cooldown for 20s and add some extra effect that really can help…or some traits that make the venom more usefull
3º the 4th skill from pistol, Head Shot, could get a little more damage, and the 5th skill from dagger, cloak and dagger could blind the enemy
4º if you leave the area from shadow refuge before its end, you don’t loose the stealth…
5º the invisbility skills like cloak and dagger, bliding powder, black powder + heartseeker last 1s more(without the trait) to be a little more “fair” since mesmer can get it longer
well MY OPNION, if you guys agree please feedback, or desagree tell why and if someone know what else could change
agree, we need tools to survive and our real traits back, its been very frustrating not be able to beat almost no one with that patch, and how people can say “thief became very OP”, yes some non-thief player still talk it, every single nerf that thief take we find a way to continue to fight but this time is impossible, every class with auto invulnerability and the auto shrouder from necros, the insane condition everyone can cause.
If you have 11k now(full zerker) or 16k(valkyrie set) you still die in 2 hits from guardians, rangers, mesmer and others, we really need to make a “list of what we need” so anet could focus better on judge it, than try to find solution that “maybe can help”
And just a little tip: get the old sword/dagger build, and change for sword/pistol – Yes i know we don’t have the leap skill to use the blck powder, but the idea is – Use Infiltrator strike with basilisk venom and start the Pistol Whip it will be a good damage, so you after that you have 2 things to choose use black powder to blind your foe(good vs mesmer before he cast the clones) and use steal, or use steal first and Black powder later, sometimes with the steal if you have a trait your basilisk venom will be out of cooldown and you can use the shadowstep back(from infiltrator) cast again the basilisk and repeat the combo….now on WvW don’t know if it work

Well everyone noticed that thief became more weaker than other class after the patch, and many are just complaning about it… Well its true we need to get our “power” back, even if that mean some traits, some hp pool, or effects on skills, and some others says that anet is not looking on thief…but in truth maybe it was just a unbalance cause by the new system, i mean every change bring unbalance to one side, maybe we just need to find out what really need to change to make more balanced, that will even help anet, once they know what can help us, they can focus on it….don’t know if everyone agree with it.
Thst was just a litttle mistake i didnt saw, ty xD
