I sureley am an SB man. I think I will switch to A/T or S/T offhand for weaponset 2. and use the offhand trait. Thankyou all for your input It is really helping me understand things better.
I thought I had updated the Sigils etc. Updated now. One more question. I have taken a liking to sword/dagger but wanted opinions on the other alternatives. I see alot of Axe/x etc is there any reason axe is so popular? What is the throughts behind which weapons are good for condi builds?
What about gear to go with your condi/trap build? I am interested in traps now.. Do you think the build i have created is just a waste of time and i should trap it up? I assume you have at one stage had a similar build.
I think that alot of these Nerfs are over the top and lead to less diversity which is quite saddening. The thief is of no real benefit to anything other then small skirmishes and some PVP. It is unpreferable in PVE and can be outdone by other classes and is often skipped in party formation. At the very least if you are going to cut more diversity at least add something… How about buffing P/P and letting that weapon set have its day.. For as long as I can remember P/P has always been the least favorite weapon set. make someone somewhere out there happy.
D2 was awesomesauce. I reinstall d3 from time to time to see if they improved it but the bright colors and lack lustre content make it hardly worthy of the Diablo title.
Been fighting blackgate for some time seem to be pretty good on the battlefield and always have numbers
P.S. i’m flattered you took the time to read my history
Specific utilties…. Yeah you should use specific utilties just like the thief does. There is no one super build that wins all… He fits for a specific purpose for taking down single targets and getting away. If you did the same he wouldnt have such an easy time… Roll a thief yourself and see how “easy” it is…
I don’t even know why I bother reading the thief forums… Wait till the thief is nerfed beyond use and then the same thief player gets another troll character that manages to upset people and the thread moves to that class….
Thiefs are not that bad… Learn to deal with them there is no way a thief should be able to down 5 players… use AOE or learn to dodge. while he attacks one of you the rest should be kicking his face…
He might be able to get away but a thief running is hardly a problem.
Raising the level cap is poor form… There are so many things that need fixing and you can create content that lasts longer then raising the level cap which lets face it people will grind in a weekend. Add an expansion and fix some of the known bugs..
What would be nice would be new skills that are capped from quests like in GW1. Kill X monster and get Y skill for some additional skills and bringing back reasons to run particular areas.
The problem with thief is if you are seen coming you are dead… Hey look its a thief SPLAT! If you remove stealth what do you get? a paper thin warrior? There is already a warrior. The thief is working for the most part as intended. It has been nerfed many times to try and get balance. I truly believe that there is a L2P issue if you cannot beat a thief. The other way to think of it is.. The thief is setup to take out single targets… The thief will not be the guy rushing the zerg and living long enough to grab the loot bags. The thief is equpped to take out the stragglers and solo/small roamers capping areas. He is setup to be effective at this role. If you want to beat it setup for it like the thief is setup to take out single targets so should you. Dont rage because the class that is good at single target kills is good at single target kills… If they are such a problem for you then change your style… They can be beat and they are not hard to beat either. You cant grab your first exotic set and rush out with your pve build and get upset when a full damage built thief takes you out. Be prepared be setup. No build is generally 1 glove fits all. Find the right glove.
“unfair overpowered no risks mechanics” No Risk?……. The risk is be unstealthed and die in a fire… Just because some people are extremely skilled in the thief doesnt make it OP. The average and below thiefs are often the first to die unless choosing targets well… The thief is near useless in most situations but fares well in small skirmishes… Stealth isnt that OP people just want to be able to stand still and use skills and think thats all it takes to win. There are plenty counters to Stealth/Thief. My favorite is don’t stand still and mash buttons… Be aware the thief is often aware of his surroundings because most things can actually kill him with ease without his stealth.. There are more important things in WVW then thiefs killing single and small groups capping camps… Learn that the thief does what the thief is meant to do and that is stealth in like a thief be precise hit and run be devestating and get away.
The Thief is not the 1 hit KO OP Uber beast it once was. People need to move on. The thief has weaknesses and is below par on tasks that many other classes shine in. So what if a thief can hit and run on stragglers behind the Zerg… Dont be the straggler. What will you do when any other race kills you faster then you would like? cry Nerf then? Understand the thief and know its weaknesses. If you stand still and let theifs hit you in the back you got what was coming. The thief is supposed to be quick and precise and take objectives like camps and single targets… The thief is the least favorite in most PVE content let it be a top choice at what it does. The Thief can be beat through other means then forum bashing. Put your bats down….
Just wondering what the Berserker and Valk combined stats mean when looking at some peoples build guides? Does this exist or is this a glitch? It will have berserker and valk witha combined stat amount. Is this like a upgraded ascended item or something else?
I wasted many ectos and shards trying 10 for 10 in bulk. I ended up using the 1 for 1 recipe and got far more clovers and far less wasted mats. Just in my personal experience. Either way make sure your shards and ectos are a plenty….

I am looking to make a dedicated PVE farmer character and was leaning towards warrior or guardian. Is warrior worth making for PVE? I would be interested in farming ORR and Karka shells as well as dungeons. If not warrior what else?
Anyone know if this could be adjusted for pve? I am trying to level a Engi (63) and my rifle power/discharge setup is getting boring dual pistols is just sexy.
ANET Smith: We’re willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we’re asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known OP skillset to justice.
ENGINEER: Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about, I give you the finger
[He does]
ENGINEER: and you give me my buff.
I am looking at rolling an engineer as they look to be quite fun. I have seen some burst engineers running around and doing quite well. My questions are…. Is burst engineer viable at the moment and what are its major downsides when compated to other classes burst damage? And condition builds…. Are there any viable condition builds out there? Pistol primary seems to have some conditions and dual pistol looks sweet. I see alot of hate for the engineer but somehow it compells me to play it.
P.S. the TANKCAT build looks fun but not really my playstyle.
Any good builds for pure burst damage? I want to go full power/prec/crit maybe putting 5 points in the regen trait but apart from that pure DAMAGE. can this be effective? Any tips?
