Hey guys. I just hit 80 on my first character and was looking for a good WvW build.
I came across this video for the Assassin Thief Build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcw2P-PnfZk
My question is, is that build still viable? I guess when I think about it, I have never tried spamming pistol whip to see if it works. But that seems pretty OP, so I wasn’t sure if it was still around. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Love the video!
New Thief here. Couple questions:
1) How did your dodge energy keep refilling so fast? (other than the ability you have in the #7 slot of course) It really seemed faster than normal.
2) Were you just hitting Cloak and Dagger to stealth every few seconds?1) There is a trait that gives you back some endurance for a dodge, allowing you 3 dodges in rapid succession and, if he also has it traited, to give the Vigor boon to increase endurance regeneration rate.
2) He was using C&D to stealth, yes. He did this to break LOS, knock out the conditions, heal, and enable his sneak-attack, which does 5 rapid shots and adds more bleeds. There is a stealth debuff when you attack after C&D, which is why you will tend to dodge or blind your opponents so you can C&D again.
Ah, I see. Very informative! Thank you!
