I can only suggest P/P for one part of the entire game.
Fractals of the Mist – Dredge Fractal – Boss Fight.
This will be vs an Ice Golem or a Dredge Suit (it varies)
The fight consists of kiting the boss into danger zones that circle the map. So all you do is run in a circle while doing ranged damage.

You will need 7 runes if you plan on doing underwater content and getting a rune set bonus.
It will display 7/6 runes because it’s counting your water breather’s rune in the total even though you will only get the effect of 6 runes at a single time.

^^ No Value added I will give a reply though as I find your analysis incorrect.
Thief is very strong for DPS and this is important in PvE. (Above All)
A bad thief is bad, a good thief is going to bring the most single target damage out of any profession in an organized group.

I am not suggesting using Corrosive Traps just wanting to highlight the fact traps did indeed get buffed. Also I don’t use Shadow Refuge.
Shadow Trap works if you know how to use it right. Make sure the distance is correct and there is no Line of Sight Issues. I have been able to tele full sPvP map distance.
“no to both of them. srry its a fail. VERY good concept on shadow trap. but since they nerfed the pathing on all shadow steps its a fail. my shadow step cannot like 1 step on a set of stairs infront of me. tahts pathetic.”
I highly suggest you re-test this trap. I think it’s very very strong in it’s current form. About the pathing I also suggest you retest this since the last patch You will be pleasantly surprised.

I will say I read OP and skipped all the rest so pardon if this has been said.
SB did get nerfed, however it came with several trap buffs
Corrosive Traps – Trait (longer Vulnerability)
Shadow Trap – Really good. I suggest using it as a long range Stunbreker/ Teleport
I also played in the SOAC Tournament yesterday with Shadow Trap in sPvP and I will assure you of how wonderful it is

Beserker is the best for dungeons, however If you are having trouble staying alive you should try some different armor sets.
I suggest
For Pug Groups – PVT + Divinity Runes
For Organized Groups – Beserker + Scholar Runes
If you need further assistance I main a thief and I will run up to 5 dungeons to teach you

My suggestion to new thieves is:
Start with (S/P – SB)
S/P
Sword AoE+Blinding Powder=AoE Blinding for easy tanking on trash (skills 1 and 5)
SB
Aoe and range for when learning new mobs attack patterns.
*When in a hot spot you can Chain activate skill 3 on SB for an evade to get out of sticky situations. Think of this as your emergency escape when you don’t have stealth.
On top of evading it will allow you to cripple your target.
Most important learn the Circle Strafe when fighting mobs solo.
Term form FPS games to mean you attack while kiting in a circle.

Skill Patch buffs Steal recharge making it more useful

I anticipate the same thing here. I find it a little awkward, but we do have proof this is how they like to update.

This is true. You are farming the gold from the dungeon which can be increased by:
Omnomberry bar
Gilded Infusion
6th set bonus on Runes of Scavenging
Laurel Gold Find Booster
Guild Banner for Gold Find boost
These are all I can think of atm. GL

Spend some time with an Ele and learn what all of the animations look like. Learn to recognize the skills that give you the most trouble and work on timing your dodges.
I think S/D has a really good game vs Ele, however you must time your dodges and boon strips properly. (PS watch out for that burning)

If you want to know who has more DPS my best suggestion is as follows:
1. Find a place/site that tracks and rewards speed kills
2. Look at the results
In my experiences I usually see warriors and thieves in the top 5-10 slots with thieves winning the dps challenges.

Yeah, the guy from Anet states its okay to recycle, but he also mentions the time taken versus the reward. To remake a character and get it to the Southsun dungeon would take…oh roughly 30-45 minutes I would guess. However, to get to level 10 personal story (where you get the black lion key) would take a minimum of a couple hours…
Note that there are guides to do the BL Key farm in time frames from 15-45 minutes
and that’s if you are good at the game as well. Not to mention, you really don’t get anything worth gold out of the black lion chests, pretty much everything is soulbound/account bound almost, with rare exceptions like the bags of coins and such which hardly ever give any significant amount.
Note you can get items worth a lot from them however it’s a scratch off ticket
(Rare holiday skins, BL Contracts, etc)
As to the topic on hand, I feel like they should have just made it where you have to be level 80 to get the reward after the first time or something along those lines. I mean sure, allow people once a day (for those that don’t have level 80s) to get the reward, but let people that have legitimate level 80s who have put 60+ hours into it (unless they crafted to 80 lol).
For this event you are scaled up to level 80
That’s just my thoughts though, I could care less, as it is just one thing less that I have to worry about doing every single day.
Thanks for the input I hope I can help put a few more facts into perspective.

Players were exploiting it by deleting and remaking characters, so we made it based on your entire account.
Edit:
Due to the reward being so high, and the upscaling for the living world, this was seen as being bad.
Gaile Gray – “devs felt that the time spent was acceptable in relation to the rewards”
(This is in reference to key farming – closest relatable topic imo)
So the exploit isn’t in the actions it’s in the rewards?

The character cycling is used on a few items, I agree. That doesn’t mean it is not exploitative. Unless you think that it was ANets intention that people create and delete characters repetitively to receive rewards at accelerated levels?
Hey check out this post where it is officially accepted to recycle characters.
A victor gives no quarter when the victor shows no clemency or mercy
and refuses to spare the life in return for the surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender)

Now there ist the offical answer. It WAS an exploit.
And no one is shocked by this confirmation. I find it interesting (in a sad sort of way) how people try to rationalize something they know to be wrong (not morally wrong in our case, but obviously exploitative and not what the developers intended).
I am shocked by this confirmation.
Anet said in reference to key farming
“Making new characters for Black Lion Keys is NOT an exploit. Have fun all!
4 months ago”
“Are you exploiting when you farm, that is, play the same area over and over again? Nope, not unless you’re using a macro or a bot to do it while you sleep. What I was told was that the devs felt that the time spent was acceptable in relation to the rewards. John later confirmed that it wasn’t an exploit, so I believe the question is covered now.”
4 months ago
What I understand is that farming / repeating content is ok. The only difference between this and key farming is the rewards.
Key Farm ok to delete and recreate character to repeat content.
Canach Farm exploit to delete and recreate character to repeat content.
They are quite similar how could I be expected to know this would be considered an exploit?

Hey juno.1840 don’t be worried. I know that it takes time to build those resources, however please hear this one tip.
If you care more for your bank account than your fingers (ohh the clicking)
Resign yourself to using the single method
I did this after a couple fails at the 10x method. I personally find the single method much more enjoyable as you can see the clovers piling as opposed to the all or nothing method.

It seems like it would be a really fun idea to have different effects when we use an elite with a legendary equipped. For those who have not read the previous thread it is primarily discussing the elite Daggerstorm + various legends for different effects
DS+ Dreamer = Projectiles are Unicorns
DS+ Bolt = Projectiles are Lightning Bolts
DS+ 2x Quip = Birthday Party Clown (lol)
I would like to suggest that using an elite which has a projectile that it gets the same replacement as the downed state projectile.
Ultimately I would like to see:
Person A uses elite + has a Legendary equipped = alternate projectile/other affect which is based upon which legendary they have equipped.
Thanks for reading this I look forward to the community feedback.

Getting Legendary Effects with Elite Usage WOULD BE AWESOME!
1. DS – Spinning + Shooting out Unicorns
2. DS – Spinning + Shooting out Bolts of Electricity
You see where this is going … (awesome town is where it’s going!)

Anet has said that they are going to be adding different stat combos to the gear. Recently with the last content patch we got Sentinel gear
Primary Stat Vitality
other Stats Power, Toughness
So we are seeing new gear attributes, we are just not given everything all at once.

I wear nothing but the dyed pink Halloween witch hat on my norn female and I’m pretty happy. No need to spend on town clothes you wear 1% of the time you play.
Just to mention for me I spend about 30% of my time in town clothes. I swap to them any time I am just running from place to place and when I hang out in towns. I really like them

People constantly claim they are “glad it’s over”. I’ve never understood why they aim for a Legendary if they don’t enjoy getting one.
SPOILERS: Nobody cares about your Legendary other than you, and possibly your friends, so anybody getting one with the intentions of showing off is an utter moron.
Reason People aim for a Legnedary:
It gives you a long term goal
Status Symbol
Never need to replace that type of weapon again since it will upgrade
Looks cool
etc etc
Other do care about the Legendary and you can tell because they will discuss it/ bring it up when chatting. If someone didn’t care about it that would not happen because well lack of concern.
I hope this helps you better understand why one would go for a legendary and that other people actually do care, not as much as you would about your own legendary but they do.

With a single name it sounds like someone who has gone off on their own to make their own legend. I get the feel of an up and coming Norn who is making a name for themself. The name also makes me think of a Beserker

I agree; this is pretty crazy. Not to mention that those commendations are so valuable and are time-limited such that anyone buying siege with them is a moron.
I buy guild seige with them. I would like to briefly dispute your moron claim and mention that there has been enough time to gear my character in two sets of full ascended gear. It’s possible you just value commendations more than I do, but I have my gear now so
!YOLO SWAG!
TL:DR
I have everything I need commendations for 2x over and I spend my commendations on seige because it looks awesome!

I have always had SB on swap. I may finally have to admit defeat and use D/P with S/D.
