Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, just thought I’d share a video I made recently for S/D. As people seem to be very conflicted about it. It’s still a very fun weapon set, yes it’s not what we all want but meh. I’m not the best thief out there by any means as well ahaha. I also have some s/d roaming videos and other weapon sets for thief.

Thanks

You can change weapons instantly or 2 sec cd. You have 3 different weapon sets, keybind for each instead of weapon swap.

And uh, feline grace pls.

Notso, I was going ask is this troll post or did you have like 12 beers before posting?

English isn’t his first language.

First tip would to be disable auto attack on your #1 ability.
Second, resetting must become your best friend. Keep retrying until your foe messes up and you get him/her down.
Third, get to know your combo fields.

The rest will come with experience.

S/d is not bad, although it isn’t perfect. I’ve been running it for a year and half (since I’ve been back) thanks to redeemer for helping me in game with that. I do realise s/d lost a vital trait in the acro line. As well as this I understand your point on d/p being its the only viable build for thief atm. Although I do don’t believe this, it takes very little to shut down an d/p thief mainly interrupt.

Thief have an interesting aura about them at the moment, they are seemed to be a underdog. Who +1 and cause havoc in wvw, backcap, or whatever a thief does in pvp (not my area of invested interest). I know many don’t like being a +1 bot or whatever, so don’t. Not simple as that I know, i know.

I’ve played d/p for about a week, cs and sa variants. I liked neither of them but I was having a very easy time winning 1v1s and 2v1s. I then stopped to realise I wasn’t having fun, at all. I put my s/d back on, swapped between cs and acro variants, now currently running acro with zerk armour and some vit trinkets. Putting me at 2.5k base power and 16k health base. Not inc wvw buffs, bloodlust etc etc. With that being said, d/p isn’t your only choice, you’re not going to get burst down. Play thief with a mentality that, everything must be for a reason, this way you are making sure you dodge when needed, not just mashing it in hopes of prolonging your death. Use your weapon set abilities for a reason, everything is for a reason.

Thief may have been beaten down and kicked in the stomach by our beautiful dev. But we can’t think that we are confined to d/p. The enjoyment and reward from outplaying a mindless d/p, or a experienced d/p thief is amazing. Downing 2 kitteny enemies because you were untouchable with purposeful uses of abilities is something you get addicted to. We do require buffs, this is without a doubt. If only the devs had a way to talk to us and communicate, I wonder how we could do that….

Sorry for the long kitten story. But check out redeemer: http://youtu.be/8ULl62omaHw he is happy to help anybody. He helped me extensively when I whispered him with counter play issues and concerns.

And feel free to add me in game, Mc Daggerss. Love to roam with thiefs or any other classes. AR btw xD
