Guild Wars 2

Alright thanks for the replies so far guys. So what I gather is that I should look into utility skills that I can use for mobility and defense to stay alive. And as far as traits go it seems like shadow arts is a must for some good burst damage with daggers from backstabs and HS. What do you guys think about something like this one? Should I put more into power or should I do less in critical strikes? Or should I switch points in shadow arts and put them in acrobatics for some survivability?

Hello everyone,
I recently just started playing a thief, been maining a ranger mostly. So I’m still trying to kinda learn the ropes and understand the class as a whole. However, after trying out all the weapons thief has to offer I’ve come to see that I enjoy using either the D/D or D/P configurations. I mostly do PvE with a few of my buddies, I may occasionally jump into some PvP or WvWvW just to mix it up, but I still spend the majority of my time in PvE.

So anyway, I was looking for some good builds that revolve around the D/D or D/P use and hopefully some advice on how to use them effectively and properly. I honestly prefer more direct damage dealing rather than relying on conditions if that is a choice. I’m currently building up toTHIS build. But I’m not entirely sure if I’m using it correctly or to it’s highest potential. I would honestly prefer D/D over D/P, but any and all help is appreciated.
