Something I found useful when you’re engaging a guardian with aegis up, you can put basi venom on and throw dancing dagger, then teleport in with infiltrators signet and auto attack to break aegis before the projectile hits. The basi venom will be on the dancing dagger so it saves you having to break aegis, do the venom animation and then attack.
Oh that is interesting o.o I could give it a try although i think its easier to just throw a dancing dagger then turn on basilisk xD
stop trying to make yishi happen, its not gonna happen
im not yishi im mugi
So full valk with divinity and sweet and spicy whatever food that is? I’m currently full valk with traveler’s runes and I use truffle ravioli like Yishis did. I’ll give that food a try next time I’m on.
Nope, i put a build in my description if you want to check it out.
Good vids as always Mugi. What’s your crit damage and power at? I’m at 106% crit damage and I feel like I don’t get as high numbers as you on backstabs. Maybe I just attack zergs too much so they’re tankier.
122% with food
This time I solo roam and do outnumbered fighting without my team. Just your typical backstab thief.
I have this same problem for almost a week now :|
So I transfered to IOJ off of the hell hole that was blackgate. It’s been pretty nice so far and I’ve seen some good fights, but I ran into some creepy stalkers from an NSP guild named os…
I was streaming as always and got zerged and /sat on. I invited them to party and they admitted to stream sniping me and hunting me down (pretty kittening pathetic to begin with). After that they started trolling my twitch chat of 150 kittening people. I would ban them and they would create new accounts just to try to troll. Honestly? How sad is that?
Their names were Kevin Mr Pally, Otters and Chimplicity. All from Os. A guy named roadnurse joined in as well.
All I want is for them to stop acting like a bunch of god kitten twelve year olds trying to troll people for attention. Don’t give a kitten if they stream snipe me, it happens all the time. If they want attention then I’d rather have them try to hunt me down and actually fight instead of trying to troll my chat.
Wow your ego could fill up a server and make it queue by yourself O_O. You got ganked. This happens when you’re not on queuegate. Man up, and fight better. I’m sure all 3 of your viewers were upset, but I’m sure your mum was able to get over and watch you try harder next time.
I can’t wait to see what happens when you run into SPCA or an organized roaming group. THE FORUM IS NOT READY!
I counter your threat of SPCA with Kevin and Bizzy. If they can be bothered to quit Zerging like nerds.
I always knew Kevin would turn into a zerger
oMG RaCKINg sTaCK COME BACK ALREADY T_T
Entertaining video — especially when you turned around on the [Zero] Thief.
I would say that was the most clutch play i have ever done that day.
Very cool although your team-mates deserve a lot of credit too.
Am I the only one though who gets annoyed that everyone in GW2 can rezz in combat. It makes fights drag on forever….
Yes indeed very very annoying ._.
Nice video Mugi .
Thanks!
Here is a video of mugi pressing 511111511111125511116F1
Looks like a video full of you hitting 5 -> 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 5 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 , 6 , F1
You forgot a couple 2’s to put in there as well
My 4th and latest video is now out!
Also, I ran into you yesterday in WvW on my engg outside of ogrewatch in EBG. You stabbed me and I ran away… it was about 5 seconds in a somewhat disorganized group skirmish, but I recognized your outfit from the video.
o.o I don’t remember
I run a similar spec, although less berserker’s and more valkyrie’s. I also use d/d with shortbow since I feel really uncomfortable without the bow.
Have you considered runes of the traveller instead of divinity? That +25% speed boost would help out, especially since you don’t have shortbow, although I guess if you’re focused on team play it might not be that vital. I went with eagle runes on my d/d thief.
Nice video though, wish I was that good on my thief.
EDIT: Also, that poor uplevel ele… kept trying to help out his guys and kept getting 1 shotted with a backstab.
That’s exactly it I don’t use travelers because i’m focused on team play and I feel it’s not necessary for me to move faster.
Nice video, but I’m a bit surprised by your build and gear choices.
Mug really isn’t that great a trait anymore after it can’t crit and while I can understand getting it for the extra Power, I’m not sure it’s worth it.
It would seem like 50% more speed during stealth might be more valuable.
I also don’t understand choosing Divinity Runes considering how poorly “all stats” perform for Thieves. Surely Ruby Orbs would be a better choice. Same Crit-Damage and much more Power and Precision for a fraction of the price.
which is also why I don’t run 50% movement speed in stealth. Ruby orbs are a good option as well but i chose divinity not just because of the crit damage but because the +60 extra stat to stats such as vitality and toughness, every little bit helps. Mug isn’t that great as it used to be but I still run it for the extra damage, and I usually use mug after i turn on basilisk to start off the stun because it rarely misses. Although it’s not huge it is some form of damage and on average i’ve seen it do around 2000 damage which is decent imo. Nonetheless it’s all preference.
My latest video is out which also shows my gear and build if you guys want to check it out. I play as a team and not solo, I rely on my party members to tank/provide boons etc to help me survive and do high burst damage.
The answer is ^
My next video will have my build, stay tuned
Banish -> teleport stomps look so satisfying.
Do you have any trouble with heartseeker + infiltrators signet/steal, I find it sometimes locks me in place after the tele if I use it during the heartseeker leap and doesn’t connect to my target if they’re moving.
To be honest i havn’t payed attention, i can’t recall being locked in place after using that. Only problem i run into is if i use heartseeker + infilttrators signet + steal, i get rubber banded. Other than that i don’t get locked into place.
#NerfMugi2013
:D
No! :| Nerf fireworks!
Good stuff! Picked up a few tricks I didn’t know about.
On a different note, the more I play and level my thief, the more I like the tactics needed to successfully engage and adversary and to survive. You really have to be on your toes and react correctly or it’s “Game Over Man!”Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting.
Yes yes reaction is a big thing, and also my toughness is low so one little mistake can cost you your life.
Yes it’s me again your generic burst thief, here is a new video i made because i seem to like making videos to help relieve my boredom. Thank you very much for watching.
Edit: I have uploaded 2 new videos if you would like to check out, I love hearing feedback! ^^

Also it would be sad for me to rage and be alone, but the sad part is it isn’t just me or my guild in here saying NSP is a kitten about their roaming, it’s coming from both sides of DH and FC, and in fact it’s multiple people. The other side is the only ones defending NSP are either XOXO or OS, and sadly I’ve wooped several OS already , XOXO may be the only competition I will ever come across if that.
I don’t think you’ve come across a tM/SPCA roaming group yet then….
Sadly I have the Tm guys were easier, but the SPCA guys were good, had an asura guardian and mesmer stalemate me, holy crap do they do a number though, specially the pugs I was with, they couldnt keep up with the guardian so props to him xD
Fact, you can not say tM is easy if you have not fought the Joe and Mugi duo.
Fact, you have not fought the Raiden and Stalagta duo yet.
Opinion, the Mugi and Joe duo can destroy the Raiden and Stalagta duo.
Opinion, the Mugi and Joe duo wouldn’t even lay a dent against the Raiden and Stalagta Duo.
Fact, Stalagta likes to Duo Roam with Mugi more than Raiden.

Joe’s into Christian rock. He probably uses Self-Regulating Defense in the Alchemy tree that uses Elixir S (which shrinks you and makes you invulnerable).
I laughed. Good video joe, keep em coming!

Joe youre a fruit loop, nice video keep it up
Nope, the white Shield symbol on the blue surface. Just checked, it’s definitely there for most of the video.
No idea how you might have got it without the spec-lines but if this footage was recorded a week or so ago then chances are it was bugging in your favor.
lol
thats the bonus buff he gets from his nourishment. +200 power for 30seconds on kill: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dragon's_Breath_Bun
This is the Ironhide icon: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Iron_Hide.png
Besides, the iron hide bug was fixed an hour after the patch released.
sick video btw Mugi
The footage was recorded less than a week ago btw. Thanks scarlet ^^
Well played, no doubt, but aren’t you just abusing the Iron Hide bug that was active for a few days? It provides you with 50% damage reduction and it seems to be active all the time in the video.
Iron hide? Are you mistaking that blue icon to be my Applied Fortitude buff? I don’t have any WvW points put into flame ram mastery so I have no idea why I would have the iron hide buff. Applied Fortitude gives me extra vitality thats all.
First of all I would like to say that I find solo roaming to be very boring, I prefer fighting with a small group of around 5 people. But this does not mean I hate watching all of you solo roamers.
With that said, I run a high burst d/d thief (10/30/30/0/0) and I usually roam with a few of my friends. My main role in group play is to deal heavy burst to targets one by one as fast and efficiently as possible (applying constant pressure as well), then getting the stealth stomps off as. Basically, I do the most damage and spike most of the downed players. Yes, this play style is really selfish as it does not provide support to your teammates besides providing stealth. But if your group has no problem with you running it because you play it so effectively then why not do it?
To answer any thieves out there wondering if D/D is viable in a team composition, yes it is imo. You just gotta know how to play it. Anyone can copy a build, how you play the class is what defines how good and effective you are.
Here is a video showing me and two of my fellow tM guild members fighting outnumbered in WvW. I’m not the best but I try. Any feedback I would gladly like to hear because i’m always looking to become better. (pss don’t tell me to play d/p -_-)

First post i believe ^^
I’m the TE white charr commander Elfidra
First of all, gratz to tM, XOXO and SPCA, tremendous amounts of player skill there :P
I’m sorry about spawn camping (Star Player told me there was some grief about that ^^‘) but lets be fair, there are 3 ways out of the spawn, you didn’t have to come rush into the balistas :P and while i did that our keeps upgrade so … why not do it ^^
Btw you should have showed all the fights we had mugi, it was a lot of fun, and yes i’m not a very good havok fighter xD i learned a lot from you guyz.
Don’t worry I got more inc :P
Hello it’s me your favorite lovable thief Mugi, I finally built a new computer and am able to record in high graphics now. Just wanted to say thanks to SBI for some fun fights. Here is a video showing some fights with my tM members. Yes I play burst thief like all the other thieves out there.
i hate this game
Oh, XOXO/tM, [OHai] misses all of you. We’re gonna need you guys to come down a few ranks so we can have fun again.

This is me playing dagger/dagger thief, please watch!
helo its me mugi, I see you did well when I was gone for so long
man why is thief is hard to play
my best friend, do you want me to teach you how to thief?
@niobe :
i heard it was your first time commanding last night/evening, it was only pure luck that saved our hills (specifically north inner), keep at it! we had a lot of good defenders in there. the people willing to run supply from garr to build siege. the people who know how to turtle. and enough bodies to man everything too. would offer tips but then youd take our keepTy for the encouraging words, it was a fun fight
and your people certainly knew their siege!
gen who say you can command, gz
one of the PAXA players run a tanky condition Mesmer spec who spams staff 2 and gap openers I wonder if he thinks XOXO runs gimmicky builds
were you the guardian (ascalonian ghost?) who wouldn’t let me cap my sentry point? :/
Teivospy says he killed tots in 3 seconds and then almost won a 1v3 right after but was too busy laughing at how slow to react tots is.
Also this video is directed at kevin.
