I’d be really happy if the pvp team (or even just some random text editor?) would take the time to update runes and sigils changing abilities and traits and stats. Its kind of annoying to put Berserker runes on and see….nothing. Sigil of Paralyzation and Mesmer Runes to see … nothing. I know some of this is just odd and random, but it’d be really nice
. Doubt I will get even a standard player response.

When I look at metabattle builds for Thief and Warrior (Blazing Berserker looks so darn bad…I’m speechless), I cry inside. They’re kind of odd looking half the time, or they have very obvious and malleable weaknesses.
That said, I use this for my dagger/pistol build. Its not “better” but it makes more sense to me.
I personally go all mid on Trickery and play without Bandit’s Defense (rfi is my choice), but the people I build share this with take BD over RFI because more stunbreak. My “stunbreak” is the counter stun from steal. General combo is go from “steal can now be used” range or “ID can now be used range” then Black Powder, Impairing Daggers, Heartseeker, Steal, Backstab. Its fairly quick, has a good deal of burst and usually makes people spazz out and cry in a corner when I +1.
I use sword/pistol perma stun build. But the above is my d/p. As for how metabattle uses damage, it tells you in the combo section to basically “take bound over dash, 3rd utility is impairing daggers, go all offense, pray to the gods you kill someone”. -v-
General Thief tip- you have to be more aware if you want to go more damage. If you have bad awareness, go more defensive. Fun stuff.

Balance… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNkrF43SZEU
I hope that expresses how I feel about it
But ye, War is not allowed to power anymore (yay for perma evade/block/invuln/protection/stability/resistance/regeneration/blur or…well…whatever else they may have). And barely condi. But its k, if you play Daredevil Thief you can…um…uh… do things?
Just play Celestial Tempest, air/earth/tempest with durability runes dagger/warhorn and just afk…. you’ll be far more productive. Rip war 2k15.

Boons boons boons, I love boons Please drop more boons, I will love you <3
This is beyond bursty when you get a good epidemic XD. Just had a match, I epi’d soooo many condis on this poor mes that was like “Oh good, I got resistance” and the buddies lost it from my well. Lets just say that much condi is just cancer.
If I wanna kill stuff, I play this. Not Thief or Warrior, they do no damage now :c.

For player fighting or for pve focus? For pve focus, charrzooka will give you access to burning (we have none). For pvp, I’d have to get you something a bit better

Thief buffs won’t happen. Kek. Sorry, but got 3 more months. Anet always kill a class for AT LEAST a full year. Thief died June 23rd. June 23rd it might be usable, or possibly even potent.
Oh and most non-thief playerbase is terrified of thief and pretends its still decent. Just for edit.

No AR yet. I just want the stats. Cuz I’m weird. Good to know on raid, managed to do a full Vale Guardian kill in around 6 minutes. Or 5. Idk, it had 2 minutes on clock- failed on Gorse though. So 51+ fractals or raid spam, or pray. Awesome

First off, the times it will proc a benefit from runes with elite skill after-effects is off everywhere. Mad King is at the end of the third, lyssa at the beginning of third, and Surging at the beginning of first.
Second- Surging is weird in that sometimes it will not proc the Shocking Aura. The reasons seem to be varied. Sometimes full chain goes and nothing. Sometimes I cast and miss (from root and distance so far) and get it. Another weird one is I don’t get it from getting someone with the hit, but then on the same mob later I do.
Anyway to look into this and verify why it might not be proccing? I’ve kept Cooldown on runes in mind but it still seems to just be randomized if they work. If not able to look into it and see why it may or may not be working, at least let me know what I’m doing wrong? I am waiting on the 45+ seconds… well was. Gonna go try to get them through pve now. Any help is appreciated.

Female human. Hard to sneak on a norn, and besides that it just looks bad. Norn moves all sluggish (despite not needed to, but for sake of balance in move speed…) and looks really ridiculous on some. So for realistic/rp its human, for giggles its norn. Hope I helped.

Argument.
Rebuttal.
I was thinking Pistol/Pistol but the problem lines with how much reflect there is currently. It sucks to unload and die to your own ability On top of that, I lose my stun and about 10-15% damage differential. Also, soldier drops a considerable amount of damage. I’m focused on Assassination over extended duels, it’s why I give up my survivability. I’m also confused why it seems like I’m tackling too many objectives- HiS for free engage, ID comboed into infi strike is usually very potent (as well as more combos), tripwire because blockspam in spvp made me want it, SR for jukage and baits, Basilisk because its simply the best elite we have.
I land Pulm fairly often and its focused on burst engage- using abilities in an unconvential manner to make it harder to predict how the opposing player will need to respond, causes opposing player to blow cooldowns because they aren’t sure how to respond. If nothing else, it makes a passive go off that I don’t have to worry about. Again, spvp focused not sure how to transition into WvW. But when I did go (however briefly) it was a lot of squishy players especially in EotM. Any stun applied will be countered by an instant cast 1s daze which is just as good imo. SR is for baits, I encourage someone to play dumb and waltz in seeing as Shortbow immobs and I usually toss out 2 of those shots before it registers reveal which means 4s immob. SR is my backup insurance, if I can’t first round em swapping to Shortbow for the triple crit and mind games is usually my way of finishing people off. No one suspects the banana (Zenith skin). It’s rather hard to find a utility to give up, ~~the build is a burst-stun mind games kinda build~~. Anything to assist there would be something I’d take in a heartbeat, but shadowstep is a one trick pony seeing as people load the return these days.
Omnom having an icd is unexpected an sad. But it still adds damage which is the goal. Is there any other food type that allows me to proc damage?
Disclaimer: I am not trying to be aggressive, I just have to be sure of what I’m doing.
Tl:dr- S/p is less for pulm and more for the sheer damage and follow through, pulm is icing along with Draining sigil. HiS is for the engage and less on sustain approach, ID is for combo orient+dodge baits, tripwire breaks blocks and its the block meta, sr is for mind games and baiting, basilisk remains the best elite. Build is burst-engage (ask for description), mind games, and just tons of giggles. Is there a better dps food than Omnom that still provides a damage proc?

So far the idea is to do burst engages (which works as far as I’ve encountered in SpvP, idk how it works in wvw).
Infi+Dodge+Steal to land engage and if they see me coming usually an interrupt. Pistolwhip with maybe an auto or two, flip to shortbow do the 3+dodge+3 combo then impairing daggers. Heal to get immob if still struggling, if steal is up again as fight goes do clusterbomb+steal into swap pistolwhip.
At least, thats how spvp works. Again, not sure on wvw. I got that drain food because it looked amazing, the sigil is what im grabbing soon as I get my nuhoch up to its next tier (gonna start after getting the glide 5). So ye, to do list. XD
For condi angle, I’ve noticed most players I come against don’t really react well to being burst-engaged and blow lots of cooldowns into my evade on pistolwhip which means a bound cancel if it gets close to getting hit. Mostly stay alive by not getting hit. I hope that made sense o.O sounds like the weirdest jargo I’ve ever tossed.
