I know you don’t really want stealth, but it’s Thieves main advantage as a class.

I play full berserker in WvW, but I run 30 points in toughness line for Regen on stealth, condi removal every 3 sec and healing in stealth. It gives me great survivability.

Sword is also good for condi removal as the teleport ability on slot #2 removes a condition each use. Shadowstep also removes several conditions. As does Hide in Shadows.

Awesome! I’ve completely overlooked Shadowstep, and per coincidence, I’m using sword. You’ve just made my Thief experience a whole lot smoother, thanks!

Outside of stealth, there is really only Acro VIII, which removes condi’s once every 30 seconds when you’re struck below 75% hp.

Why are you needing to remove so many conditions in PVE?

Cool, thanks.
Well, I like to overpull so it still stays a bit of a challenge, but I mostly run out of initiative & endurance before I kill all the mobs (still learning the thief tbh, but I’m having so much fun with the class. ^^). The only that gets on my nerves is that when I get hit, I’ve no viable way (without counting stealth) of getting rid of the boons, while, for example, Mesmer has Null Field.

Hi,

While I haven’t reached 80 yet, I’ve been looking up possible builds.
And the builds that popped right up were stealth-builds; which I don’t want… But the problem is, the condtion-removal with thief is stealth. Unless I’m looking in the wrong places.

Can someone point me a build/explanation/… where condition-removal is present without stealth?

Also, before you add: “stealth is op, noob, every thief shuld have it. go play warrior, huurduur”, I play in pve which is way more relaxed than pvp/wvw and I feel that stealth isn’t so much needed there.

Not very mesmer-like and my coat clips through my pants, but I haven’t found pants that I like… but I like this composition nonetheless. ^^
