Guild Wars 2

Is P/P thief good in PVE? Like for some mini bosses where it’s probably better to stick to range for kiting.. Can it be better over shortbow?

Please invite me

Hi! I just started gw2 about 2 weeks ago. Still kinda green to dungeon play, only have a lvl 80 thief atm. Hope that I’m able to get an invite as I really need someone to guide me through a smooth dungeon run. Thanks!

You are new, stick to Sword Pistol with Signet of Malice (SoM).

Nice blinds, evades and cleave paired with heal (SoM).

As someone has mentioned, D/D cleave is weaker then Sword cleave.

Shortbow offhand.

Wooo, my input means something. Information is here.

Dagger DPS is high because of Backstab and Heartseeker. The auto chain is pretty weak if you have to go through the entire chain.

If you could have a skill that you can cast, AoE, in between the auto 1-2 you could improve the 2target dps, but #2345 are all single target, bar Death Blossom and Bouncing Blades, both of which aren’t going to be good for power DPS.

Sword, on the other hand, cleaves to 3 targets as opposed to 2 and also has AoE on Pistol Whip. All other skills are going to be single target, bar Bouncing Blades.

Also, just to note: I have been camping double daggers recently because I’m too lazy to maintain my inventory swapping between 3 and 4 weapons being used (it’s really annoying).

Sword/Pistol is a great set for learning because you have access to evades, blinds, and cleaves.

The only downside is you can end up playing too defensive and just spam pistol 5 for permanent blind.

I used to do dagger/pistol when I was leveling up, but that was slow. You can also use Dagger/Dagger + Caltrops and spam Death Blossom after aggroing a lot of mobs. But only for leveling up.

Hmmm.. I’m already 80, so I run more of dungeons.. Guess I will try S/P then! Thanks for all the comments guys!

Well cause I see the recent threads are leaning towards D/D thief, and the backstab as well as heartseeker have awesome damage as compared to the S/P skillset

I did read that! But it is updated as of 9th Aug, I’m wondering after the sept update, which is the better one as of now..

New to gw2 here May I know which’s the best wpn set for thief atm? S/p or d/d? Will be helpful if someone can link me to a guide over here! Thanks!
