Guild Wars 2

Please do. I am also another player getting into thief PvP, and I’d be glad to hear a viable build in detail, now that the patch has hit.

I’ll be playing D/P or D/D mostly, as I prefer the stealth burst aspect of the weapon sets. So the swiftness is indeed better than the extra damage? What about infusions?

Hello fellow thieves

I’ve recently gotten my D/P thief in full ascended armor (Valk) for preparation for really getting into WvW. However, I am rather inept at figuring out the proper gear for him. Was hoping to get some advice about which Runes and Infusions would be the best.

Essentially, I am trying to figure out if Runes of Strength, Runes of the Traveler, Or Runes of the pack would work best. Normally, I see people going for the Strength runes, since people always seem to prefer the flat out damage and damage seems best for PvE. However, I was wondering if the Traveler/Pack runes would not be a better choice due to the extra utility from an extended swiftness. I’d very much appreciate any advice from the more experienced players. Feel free to tell me if there is an even better Rune that I had not considered.

Also, which of the defensive infusions should I acquire?

I have Zero interest in any PvE content on this character, so I am only interested in gear that would provide the maximum WvW effectiveness. I have the gold for any of the Rune sets, so cost is not an issue. Thanks!
