Thief shortbow wv3 build

I also found that trading Valk armor for Cavalier’s and Zerk weps for Cavalier’s gives me around 1400 toughness without sacrificing too much power, considering the few stealths I get out of this build which mean I will be taking quite a few more hits. 47% crit chance with food isn’t too shabby I suppose, while still keeping my crit damage. Again if you find the crit is too low, sacrificing a slot for Sig of Agility for some more precision or Assassins Sig for some extra oomph is completely up to you.

I guess it can kinda work on pve as well, depends on how lazy you are, but it is really meant for wv3 roaming/small group skirmishes while having high annoyance and power if you are good at landing those cluster bombs and then good kiting and escaping for when needed. Prob not the best for 1v1 situations unless you are a thief god or something (I know I’m not) or the enemy is terrible.

The idea is to have a ton of dodge rolls when needed with the III on Acrobatics and Felines Grace, having a little sustain when spending initiative with Assassin’s Reward, Caltrops on dodge roll for a little kiting, Executioner for the 20% extra dmg and with IX in Acrobatics coupled with Infiltrators Signet for max initiative regen. It might be too much, I don’t know if I might just switch out Inf Sig with Tripwire or something of the like for a little more kite potential. Then finally the only stealth this build has (besides the d/p) Shadow Refuge for when things get a little too hairy. Then Shadowstep for stunbreaker and getaway potential. Valk armour for a little hp buffer with Traveler’s Runes so I don’t have to waste a utility slot with Signet of Shadows. The power is unfortunately under 2k until I can get the rest of my ascended trinks. I bummed around the forums a bit and I haven’t seen any other posts with this build, but maybe it is a norm short bow build I haven’t seen yet. Give me your input on what you think. It has been pretty successful in wv3 so far as you land those clusters with the only prob coming down to 1v1 then I just kinda switch to my d/p and duke it out.

Really hoping for a 1200 range for SB trait soon crossed fingers

Julie Yann you wouldn’t mind link sharing your build with me would you? What you are talking about sounds like it’s right up my alley.

Yes I will try Keiel lol, and thank you all for your input on this, I really appreciate it. I am now very excited to come home and start rocking people. I really want to make a GS/ eviscerate focused build, maybe even bursty hammer like Julie Yann mentioned. One more question though, is zerker gear viable in wv3 now? I mean it kinda was at release (not really) , but is it a real option now?

Well, we all know that warriors have always had some build that could be beneficial to the wv3 fights ( like banner or shout builds ), just not as well as most other professions. I did try and Google some recent warrior post about wv3 viability and maybe some cool GS+ axe/shield builds and see if they are still good to use, but everything most recent has been at least 3-4 months ago. I know most people say to use what you like to have fun with, but I am pretty competitive in wv3 ( if there is such a thing) so I just want to know if I’m just not wasting my time. I haven’t played since March this year and I have been playing before that since release. On my warr right now I am using full PVT gear on everything and traits are 0/0/30/30/10 what I was using in wv3 and fractals before I left for school. I am coming home in about a week and I have been checking out other classes but I don’t have all the play time like I used to so I just need to know if I am wasting my time with this class or not. My main focus is wv3 of course. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE my warrior, I just want to know for sure if this if what I am going to spend my time into ( Legendarys, ascended gear ect…) Open for criticism, build shares, opinions or whatever. Looked up a few posts but it’s just nice to get an answer to your own personal question, ya know?
