Building a WvW Thief

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. When I did my research, I saw a few WvW builds that didn’t really spend points on SA, so I figured I could get away without it.

Anyways, I updated my build to this:

I personally enjoy mug a lot, but I see why Feline Grace would be very useful. Maybe I’ll try both, and see what works best for me.

Also, Lofat, could link me to your video? I’m curious to see how that turned out.

I think I’m probably going to focus on Burst damage then, because I think I can use it in all facets of WvW. I maintained my equipment as it was before, except for the amulet and its jewel.

So I am currently leveling my thief to 80. My main goal is to be proficient at WvW once I have gotten to that point. I realize most thieves are split between Burst damage (D/D, usually) and Condition Damage.

For me, I’d like to do a bit both. I want to build my thief in such a way that, if I want to go roaming, I’ll be able to. If I want to join a zerg, I can do so as well. Now I realize I could not be the best in either if I do that, but that’s OK. I just don’t want to be a one trick pony. So here is what, theoretically, would work for me:
A decently powerful thief, with enough crit and condition damage to roam/zerg. I also need to have some survivability. Trait wise, I have this:

In my opinion, that will work wonders. My biggest issue is figuring out my equipment. I honestly have no idea what sigils and runes to use, nor what to do with jewelry. My initial idea was to put two Accuracy sigils on my daggers, for the increased crit chance, and an fire sigil on my bow for DPS+burning.

As far as runes, I thought about using the fighter rune, for the power and toughness. For jewels, I figured berserker and carrion would be my best bet, with a carrion amulet.

In the end, this is the gear I have:

I’m basically looking for opinions and advice. Any tips on actual gear the end-game would be incredibly helpful as well.
