Guild Wars 2

What is your build/gear? I leveled to 80 solo with a thief with 0 problems. Give P/D a try and run with Carrion gear and SB for multiple mobs.

CnD then 1, dodge/autoattack for 2-3 seconds then repeat it’s very simple and effective. I really don’t understand how you cannot prevail in pve with a thief. Clusterbomb is a killer if you draw to many mobs and stealth is a free getaway if things go south. Last but not least (if this pertains to you like it does so many others) stop traiting glass cannon and expect to survive!

Well, I can’t find a single reason why would anyone take condi thief over power thief right now.?

I do very well as a condition thief in WvW. I very rarely lose a 1v1 and I am constantly engaging groups on my own, killing one or two and then getting out if it gets too crazy. Last night I was engaging a group of 5 or so and killing them one by one. They were dying because I was constantly reapplying my bleeds (P/D) and using stealth every chance I could. They couldn’t keep up with condition removal. This is with all blues, nothing fancy.

I believe half of the problem that many are facing is that they trait themselves to be a one-trick pony and then get all upset that they don’t have any survivability when things go south.

I guess my answer to your question/comment would be survivability. If you trait heavy into shadow arts and acrobatics you get a ton of toughness and vitality along with healing. Most just want to trait for power and crit and run glass cannon builds.
