Hello gents, I’ve recently decided to give this game another chance after a long break I took from it simply because it became incredibly boring . I’ve loved my thief even though I never got to master him properly and I wanted to ask you guys what a viable condition build would be for sPvP and WvWvW ? Thank you all in advance.
The problem is the thief just doesn’t feel like the insane assassin class anymore, to me it feels like it’s become a bruiser that lacks both damage and the ability to stay alive long enough and you have to stay engaged in a battle for longer than you should. I like the idea of a thief that either ends you fast or dies trying.
I used several builds, can’t really recall which at the moment, but after the patch the only build (for arenas) that still seemed to be working for me was a d/d crit build which you all know has that survivability “issue”(IT HAS NONE).
Hey guys, I let this game go after the dec patch when they obliterated the thief class. Now, I just want to know if it’s worth coming back to? Have they done anything to rebalance this class with the rest ? The one thing I didn’t like about this game from the start is that the PvP aspect was just too well “organized”, meaning you couldn’t just walk around on the map, find some player and just kill him for the fun of it, it felt too limited, so I did a lot of arenas but after the dec 10 patch the thief just stopped being fun for me. So I ask again, is it worth picking up from where I left ?And pls don’t say just pick another class since I’ve tried them all and I only liked the thief class.Ty all in advance.
Hey guys, I just started doing a lot of spvp lately and I’ve been scouting for good builds. As far as I understand there will some major nerfs to the thief class after the dec 10 patch, so I was wondering if anyone could please post a link to a good, detailed d/d build , preferably a crit build (tired of cond dmg builds), that won’t suffer too much after the dec 10 patch. Thank you guys in advance.
Thank you all for your input. I will try out everything you guys suggested and will see which build best suits me. Thank you all once again.

Usually V/VI/XI in Critical Strikes
III/IX in Acrobatics (However i will be looking for a new setup for that line after Dec 10th.)
and like i said before V/VII in Trickery.
I also forgot to ask you what skills do you use ?
I can help you out. Personally i like to run 0/30/0/20/20 for dungeons bringing thrill of the crime and bountiful theft in the trickery line. This grants plenty of party wide buffs and makes you a bit more useful to the team.
As far as weaponsets go it’s situationa. but basically i use as follows:
-D/D for single target melee boss fights
-S/P for multiple mobs in melee range/boss fights that require melee stacking.
-P/P for ranged dps encounters
-SB for running or to use with smoke fields to stealth the group.If you want to be truly effective i suggest getting each of these weapon sets and learning how to use them to the best of your ability.
If you have any specific questions i can help.
Thank you for the information, I will try to farm all of the weapons stated above. I do have another question if I may: In your 0/30/0/20/20 build, what traits do you use ?
ANET is kitten ed that thief was doing somewhat decent in PvE with sword/pistol, alas this can not be allowed to pass so nerf the hell out of its initiative regen, and call it a MASSSSSSSSSSSIVE buff!
So I take it d/d is the way to go ?
No. A warrior or guardian is the way to go.
I’d still like to play the thief.

Hey guys, I’ve been reading that the upcoming dec 10 patch will shake things up as far as thief builds go so I was wondering if any of you experienced pvers would care to share some thoughts. I’m currently trying to gear my thief up, so far I’ve got berserker armor and trinkets and I can’t make my mind up as far as what weapons should I use. I was going to try a sword/pistol build but after reading about the changes that will come I’m not sure it’s worth spending the time to farm those weapons. So should I farm and get a dagger/dagger build instead?
Hey guys I recently hit lvl 80 and I started doing dungeons. My question is what is the best dungeon build for a thief? Keep in mind that my items are all profession made (LW) so they aren’t very good. I tried a sword/pistol build but the prob is that my weak items make me squishy as hell. So I would really appreciate it if someone could post a good dungeon build, preferably something based on condition damage using a p/d build since in my opinion that has the best dmg to survivability ration. Thank you guys in advance.
Hey guys, I’ve been playing the Thief for about 2 weeks, got to level 40, and I absolutely love it. There’s only one problem, this is my first char and I really don’t know a proper leveling build. Could you guys please help me out by telling me what leveling builds did you use? And by leveling build I mean everything: weapons, traits, slot traits, the works. Thank all of you in advance for your help and I wish you all a great day/afternoon/night.
