Thank you for this guide. I basically have been playing my Thief/Guild Wars 2 off and on since its release and I only have a level 54 thief to show for it (I don’t play much). I basically just went right in and did a dagger/dagger precision/condition build and while I enjoyed bleeding guys with caltrops my Thief seemed to do very low damage and just felt very squishy.
Thanks to your Sword/Pistol build I am just rolling through mobs and enjoying the game a lot more compared to before. Although I have no idea how I will make my guy at 80… I am loving this leveling build.
