Guild Wars 2

Just wondering what others thoughts were about WvW rank not being account wide. Im a lil upset tbh. What I liked about GW2 at launch was all achievements and such were account wide. This did not discourage playing multiple toons in WvW. Now if you wanta rank you’re stuck to one toon. Hope they will change this!

The fundamental problem is that it takes far more skill to kill a good thief than it does to play one. The windows of opportunity to kill one are narrow, while their margin for error is substantial.

Well put! My build is based on getting into stealth via cloak and dagger….I miss that and am drained 6 int and happen to be stunned or immobilized…..its nite nite!

clint.5681:

Warriors can stunlock you and hit your for an high amount of dmg and kill you without you being able to do anything about it.

Exactly, a well played warrior scares me a lot more than a well played thief! Immobilize plus hundred blades can take my entire health pool in one go…..far more than any thief can do to me.

This is gonna be long so prepare yourself. I’ve played p/d since beta and I tried everything else, bottom line is I can’t wrap my head around d/p s/d s/p or even d/d. I know many will say it’s easy but when i try it, it feels so wrong. So….I’m looking for a way to make it as a p/d thief and just pray that Anet will give some love to condition thieves at some point. I’d love for any of you guys that have been playing p/d as long as I have to give me your views of how we can make it through this bumpy road. I’ll load my build below but its the standard build with a few modifications that “Wildbill” started.

My problem is so many classes have cond removal and I have no way to finish targets quickly as they are nearing death. Also it just seems that other condition class have so much better conds than we do as thieves. I use to slot full condition duration but have come off of it a little bit because it seems a bleed will never stay on 8 secs like it use to. It will get cleared way before that. So should I back down bleed duration to gain something else or stay as high bleed duration as possible?

Any suggestions will be very appreciated and I welcome discussion on the P/D thief. Thank You.

The Build I feel most comfortable with right now:

Ive played with all three of these and went mainly with 4 plex runes because sneak attack is as near to 100% chance to apply 3 stacks of confusion as you can get. I’m looking for ways to cover with misc conditions so my bleeds don’t get stripped. The venom build made me feel like I had no defense and after I blew my load I was toast.

C/D: I have always had issues landing cloak and dagger, my timing has never been great. Now a days its even harder when this build is based around it and so many good players are looking for this. QAdvice on how to land it better would be appreciated.

Food: I always run cond duration food…Pizza

Lastly the heal skill: I have always used stealth heal but tried withdraw for a few weeks, i hate not being able to get into stealth but since every player I face is a warrior these days the immobilizes and stuns are ridonkulous! it helps with that but doesn’t help clear conds like the stealth heal will.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.
