tonikor ur wrong . u misread. plz reread entire thread. “I” have challenged them bc they are haters. not one accepted
. dont need to tellthem my guild. its absolute irrelevant.
off to make the fam dinner
lil flattered nobody challenged me. talk is talk. show me the walk or just walk away.
flawed credentials? only credentials i need are how long ive played and what ive done. guild was a comment to prove that i was not hte only one who didnt know what FCs were. in this case im arguing with a JATT.
so YOU are actually dodging. the challenge of you making a video came first. then i challenged you to a duel in wvw next but ur in Eh bay….. so i challenged you to SPVP….then u “say ur not on” which is convenient but it was work hours for normal jobs so who knows. but u are on here so come duel
i wont go anywhere.
the poitn in me sayin i was in one of the 2 best db guilds is to show you how silly /rediculous the comment was about FCs etc. not one person knew it.
if you wanna find which guild im in
….come duel me. ill have it on film showing you run away
also…i can do that or i can do this…etc …show your video or it didnt/wont/cant happen. ill go get a few weeks worth of footage and make a great video :P just edit it right like others do. nto show the longer clips.
which video galtrix? the ele duel or the other one?
yes stealth is a thieves heal…and our condi removal. its how a thief was built. we have no block or invuln or protection buff or aegis or burning….. we go without alot so we get our "extras’ from stealth. if u dont like it …then hate the game. might as well say ….well a mesmer is standing there letting the phants/clones do most the dmg …somewhere around 75% easily. same thing :P or turrets / supply crate from an engineer… also stealth gives me lots of bleeds stacks to put out. and while i am stealthed the stacks still do dmg. maybe u should re watch. plenty of stomps….kills. some assisted some not. but none of the asisted ones was i following a zerg or group or friends. i was by myself…..then some came from whereever . the one in garrison i was on front lines.
you have my tag to the left of this post. join in game either of you ….just msg me we can set it up. i still havent recieved a msg lol. anyway its 510pm here so i gotta cook dinner for my family soon so step up or shaddap. ya?
i mean its so bad i lost to a necro for the first time since i can even remember.
i cant duel with any effectiveness …. i mean my build kinda relys on invis for healing…blinds…defense….dmg….and condition removal. if most of my CNDs fail like that… im dead.
oh ill post it. win or lose. just bc i lose doesnt mean im bad. same to you…if u lose it doesnt make you bad. few variables that show bad play. ur prolly gonna use d/p….i could 2 but itd b a draw if u are good also. CND’ing is a lil harder. but yeah. we dont need to go up aginst each other. do spvp. 1 v 1. bbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuut you wont take the challenge. dont have to respond. i already know
its ok nobody ever does. especially when put on video lol
eh. that doesnt matter. u can find out when u duel me
step up. video is up n ready. msg me in game now. nobody ever does from forums.
ok maybe its a visual/lag problem with the game. it only just started since the patch.
Ty OlllllO ive never heard that b4…..of my 800 – 1000 posts on here ive jsut never seen that b4 :P call it dumb luck or maybe just a lesser used acro. either way….im not good bc i dont know one of many jargon. clap clap. well played hoss.
just copy/pasted the past several lines so my guild could understand the context. we are one of the best 2 guilds in dragonbrand so not like they arenubs. not 1 person knew what FCs were in teh context of what u said.
FCs? msg me we can set it up.
dragonbrand. IM me anytime.
ill put camera up too.
rather you act like a lil brat with no education
You should work on your spelling and sentence structure if you’re going to talk down to others about how they have no education. It will make people not instantly label you as a moron when they see it. This is honestly the point in the thread where you lost all credibility with me. I completely ignored your button clicking and bad playstyle, but this? Now I have to respond to this thread.
ive mastered D/P ….D/D ….D/D evade….P/D bleed (variations) and S/D(variations)
If you really mastered Thief, why do I and others notice the following:
- Clicking;
- Bad build;
- Trying to stealth with revealed on;
- Lots of CnD in thin air lol.Seriously, you look like a guy I would down in 3 seconds every time I found you.
ur right about spelling etc. but im on a tablet. im a larger man with rather larger hands. plus i dont like clicking backspace backspace backspace just to fix one letter. but yeah ur right technically.
side note about clicking: i dueled an ele last nite…one of the better ones ive seen at that. i said did you see that? (i CND…heard the sound of it clicking….and no invis) he said ya wierd…. anyway….ever since this last patch ive been getting wierd lag. its not horrible lag unless zergs are around…..but lag where you are just a little off and its not responding right. here lemme show you what i mean.
duel with an ele last nite. rather good one. notice the CNDs …they dont match up on my screen either. plus some hit and dont pop. or thats how they show on my screen. have had several other theives tell me the same.
I see some good play from you here, but it’s worth pointing out that the only reason you won both of those fights was because of Thieves Guild, which really has nothing to do with your build whatsoever. You could call it a “play to a draw until my elite is ready again” build and I think that would accurately describe what happened.
Not that it’s a bad thing, but it is what it is.
yeah. one i won with thieves guild the 2nd i did without…well i DID cast it but he healed up to 90 or 95% after the th ieves died so i mean…. if i beat him after thieves guild died and hes at 95%….thats a win by skill and not elite in my book. but i do see what you mean. the only time i used TG is when im playing against an ele or one of those annoying heal/condi removal troll builds. other than than90% of the time i dont pop it. spvp is really rough on thieves too. a lil unfair to be mathematically critical. but thats another conversation for another thread.
dr yamak…i use bandi cam…only 10 min segments but its easier to add/subtract film that way. then windows movie maker. im like a noob with it and i can do it. so i think uc an too! BANDICAM.COM and use windowsmovie maker…
Thx, ill try this. It is must be interesting to do video. Ty.
it is fun. im not good at the cool effects yet. and i run longer videos as to show the crap as well as the glory skills. we all have them and sets a nice precedent for newer thieves / newer players to notthink wow i cant do that….so ill give up.
no its either a game lag issue or a stealth issue….i am not walking out of friendly refuges or anything like that. im talking str8 up hittingwith CND and it not invising me or buff stealth showing up. somtimes i hit CND and go right to reveal without even using another skill.

most thieves are d/p and s/d right now so alot prolly arent seeing it but yeah. big problems with it
lol feels like it but no. alot of thieves telling me the same thing ive been getting. CND not giving stealth or missing or causing instant revealed. some wierd stuff going on.
CND is hitting in many of might fights WITHOUT revealed up/on and not giving stealth. there is also some lag since the last patch that many have also stated so i know its not me and everything on my computer is very high end.
how many others are having CND problems?

Wow I didn’t think you were this hopeless.
Counting the CnD’s used on npcs and downed targets rofl. I was refering to the ones you miss on moving targets in proximity that could be easily landed. I won’t bother counting the CnD’s but the first one wasn’t “PERFECT”, the first one you CnD the AIR in front of you lol, just saying.Too bad I can’t accept your challenge since I’m EU, and I would gladly bet gold on it.
I’ll legit quit when a thief clicking all of his utils and sometimes even the weapon skills (yeah we all saw you click CnD too) beats me 1v1.
oh … so my counting is off? only abour 3-4 of them were on NPCS. if it were a duel it would be a different set of utils too. but either way what you said was totally off. :P
The problem is you cannot really kill anyone in 1v3 against decent players.
I mean, the only way you can achieve a stomp is to steal a fear and cast it when they have no stunbreaker and be lucky.You can kill ppl when they swing at the air with a downed mate, but they are not decent players.
A) you are pointing out a general problem against all thieves not just p/d.
B) i have bllind AOE on stealth (CND to stomp)
C) in zerg running i use DAGGERSTORM when needed and then stomp with stability.
D) Shadow Step stomp.plenty of ways to get it down and plenty of vids to prove so. ive been looking online for zerg style thieves that can also 1 v 1 but have yet to find one video. im sure theres prolly 1 out ther but looking as to have a contrast of builds.
Those are general ways that anyone with any build can have.
What I mean is that against 3 good players you do not have the time for a stomp.
1 resser is faster than 1 stomper, 2 ressers and the downed is up almost istant.
You can’t say you can do it against good players while other thieves in other videos can do it just because opponents are bad.It is a common problem with atm no solution except the one I provided before.
Also I think p/d is slow like hell and boring to be played, but this is a personal feeling.
yeahi got ya. i know what you mean. universal problem tho. not just with thief builds in particular.
@tonika …yeah CND is a lil harder then pressing 5 2….actually requires timing and coordination…. umm if u knew tho…cnd and BS are 2 skills that are easily under 50% success rate…..and i do miss sometimes when im revealed as i try to time it right at the end….might end up clicking it a C-hair too early but nobody is perfect. i think my CNDS land right aroudn 50% l..lets take a loook shall we?
first CND land PERFECT….
2nd CND PERFECT
3rd CND PERFECT
4th CND misses as i was trying to use steal+CND but had gunk in way loaded
5th one lands PERFECT
6th one CND Steal combo lands PERFECT
7th one Caltrops to cnd lands PERFECT
8th CND lands PERFECT
9th CND and steal combo lands PERFECT
10th CND also lands PERFECT
so ima just stop here as im bored counting. 9 for 10 is 90 %…although thats not the whole fight its the first half of the CAMP plus 2 invaders attacking…YES camp plus invaders….and if u noticed the vet had RIGHTEIOUS INDIGNATION on for the first part of the fight. but since your so keen at picking kitten apart…. lol. hater…HATER lol WMAHAHAHAHHA hater.
they are bad opponents as you say so? really. most other vids show 50% of them upscaled. pffft. well played sir. ok so nothing of what you said checks out so far. bad build? really show me one video that can get into the fray of a LARGE scale fight and do stuff. not just run on the edges and pick off the lambs…..or with shorbow….ping ping ping.
dont wrry since u like the perfectly edited stuff im going to compile everything i have over the next 2 weeks since this build is only a few days old for me .
heres some more i uploaded today. notice how they are longer fights…… and no this is not a finished video. its just parts i have to pick from like all the other video uploaders. are you completely oblivious as to how editing works?i mean i think the longest fights i saw were 30 seconds or so on the longer videos before it cut to another fight. but ill do that so i “look” professional. see i personally think its important to show failure in a video as nobody is impervious or god like in this game….although some videos would subtly suggest it.
5th clip is allies? well thats a medium zerg fight…..and see where my thief is? front lines. :O OH MY ! a thief on the front lines. that was kinda the point of the thread. a wvw build for thief that can 1 v 1 AND zerg it up.
minimal dmg? do u realize that 8 stacks of bleeding can pretty much outdamage a d/p thief that is going 5 2 2 2 backstab HS 5 2 2 2 BS HS……. the time a d/p spends while invis is time that conditions are doing thousands of dmg. not to mention the 1k to 1.5k dmg from sneak attack and poison…… so burst? yeah ill give u that. without TG not much burst. but DPS is pretty much the same with more survivability/defense.
and as much as you are entitled to your opinion i will challenge you to a duel
tell u what ill go d/d to make it fun!
bet a lil gold? i bet i could win 40% of the time against you with p/p too! wont accept my challenge….anytime people talk trash on here its NO FACTS….NO VIDEOS…..NO BACKING UP THEIR TALK…… so good day to you kiddo
(edited by Travlane.5948)
dragonbrand server. NA player. info is to the left. invite ingame anytime for duel. lataz
dont wrry ill make a bomb video when i have 3-4 weeks of material….. i mean like all the other very well knowns that do videos right? i have 2 × 3 min clips….they have 20 × 20 sec clips….. editing can really make a fight in real life or in game look bad/good.
srry what? i eat engis for breakfast
lol. although they do have an annoying trait where no bleeds under25 % hp…but thats another reason i went from 5 0 30 30 5 to 10 0 30 0 30. more power for the punch and TG owns them.
everyone has their own flavor. laela blackbird is a great p/d user and likes d/p as a backup. i prefer to stay with one kind of build and keep it p/d p/d so ic an flop in battle to really take advantage of the sigils on my weapons. with an inverse set you cant do that. but ont he same thing u cant perma invis yourself in a tower and wait for everyone to leave. it depends on what you like to do.
my p/d is a “power” build …. i mean my sneak attacks hit like 1400…. can go much higher but thats the normaal….a low is 1100….high is like 1800. play what you enjoy and have a goal in mind. some builds are better 1 v 1 some are better ZvZ….just have a goal in mind of build for everything but master nothing. :P all up to u bro
I love lurking and watching Trav defend his initial point by going off on tangents that have nothing to do with or support said initial point.
The fact is that it isn’t close to “the best build”. There is no omnipotent zerg-busting, solo-roaming, win-button build. We have build variety for a reason, and you’ve told everyone in this thread who disagrees with you that our builds are sub-par to yours then challenge is to pointless duels in private messages. It’s sad and childish to assume that you have and created the best build out there and then refuse to believe those of us who say otherwise.
I’ve said it before. Posts like this, and the majority of the posts I see by you, Travlane, show the epitome of what people hate about egotistical thieves that rub it in when they win 1 battle out of 9. Stop it, for the sake of the community.
you dont read no good does you? ok. in a debate if you disagree with something you validate your line of thinking / claim with a counterpoint/fact/example. so plz show me a video and explanation of what you think the best overall build for thieves is in wvw?
again since you cant read. if u think u have mastered thief this thread was not for you. poof
be gone.
im not just a thief im a guardian too. i play thief 60% and guardian 40% ….i sometimes on occaision sprinkle in my engi or necro. but im also a zerk guardian…not very mainline. i do different thinks.
you may or may not agree with me and that is perfectly fine. but the thing is…u dont have to be a rude lil boy like you are….just say hey i think you are wrong and here is my reasoning. rather you act like a lil brat with no education and maturity. come back and say somethign when ur a grown man. until then. TA!
Excuse me but I’m far more eloquent, so when you decide to start name calling please think about what you’re going to say.
Secondly, if you don’t play thief 100% of the time, stop going around the forums telling everyone that you’ve mastered every aspect of the class and know when to make the right call in posting. All I ask is that you cease this behavior, because it makes you look bad.
i didnt call you a name. i told you if you want to adress me thats fine dont act like a brat/child etc. if i called you a name it would read….you are a brakittens ok if u were educated you would know the difference right? see what i did there? i didnt call you stupid but it kinda implied it…..implications and exclamations are 2 very different things amigo lol. anyway back to gw2.
heres a picture. read the chat log. your turn.
PS… i knew you would ignore my points
check mate debate is won …anything further you say is just argumentative and irrelevant. unless you address the aforementioned !….
You’re being completely hypocritical. My point wasn’t how long you’ve played. My POINT was that you go around acting like you own the forums because you’re probably 18 and know it all. I wish I knew it all again, but unfortunately I’m too old to deal with this kitten.
- “I run the best build”
- “I’ve mastered D/P, D/D, SB, S/D, S/P and now P/D”
- “Lol u should duel me then we’ll see who knows more”
- This one’s funny because you run a P/D troll build and can’t kill anyone or be killed, so you’re essentially going to keep stealthing and re-healthing until you call it a draw.
ok again ill just repeat thigns ive said already
1) IMO= IN MY OPINION
2) this is not for master thieves…this thread is for others
3) its my thread and my view/my experience. if you dont like it dont read it.
4)build can kill every class unless a thief decides to run/stealth away and reset
5)if u dont agree …provide counterpoint/fact/example/video . until then ur wrong and just 100% argumentative. again again again….keep ignoring it….just making you look more and more wrong.
i can claim that armor X looks the best bc of reasons Y and Z. in my experience i get the most compliments while wearing armor set X. is that your experience? no. if u dont like it bring your view/facts. but you wont. bc ur acting like an argumentative child.

ps….ui have dozens of in game requests for help with builds etc and actually quite a lot of thank yous and compliments. as a matter of fact maguumas is sitting here about 60 deep at the spawn in their lands trying to spawn camp us and 2 of my fellow guild members both about the same experience as me said (LITERALLY within the last 5 mins) that “jesus my d/p is useless here…absolutely cant do anything”…… idk …. so obv d/p cant be the best overall build right now. it really is usless in large groups. but plz do go on and ignore my points in the above posts…..later kiddo.

TA!
i never complained about them healing. only thing i ever complain about is the ability to spam skills without any moment of reprieve. thats what i think its a lil over the top.
maybe we have different definitions of troll? troll builds cant kill really. they just pin prick and annoy others.
if u claim its not the best overall build ive already requested to see d/p and s/d in zerg action NOT ON THE EDGES picking on the weak lambs. get into the fray like other classes can and get it down. stupid sb builds just using trick shot on the edges and ocaisonal slow cluster bomb. then d/p? really like thats gonna get anythikgn done in a zerg? u might as well forget about going invis with 5 2 2 2 2 ….that aint happening. unless again…
ur on the edges picking on outliers. s/d ? defense is too low to get in there and get it done. evades are nice but also leave you vulnerable…. 1/4 and 1/2 second evades are mediocre/decent but they only cover half or well less than half of the animation time which leaves you open for free dmg the same amount of time and usually more. so s/d and d/p (most co mmon builds) just really cant get into zerg style combat and do well more than 1/10 times . again i still have yet to see these videos. :P i have seen plenty of [p/d ones and variations of. 3400 hours on my thief. full everything. 6200 AP……… not a noob. lets see some video or you are just hot air
when its time to kill a cannon? yes i sneak attack it. does it do a whopping amount of dmg? no. but nearly the same as GC …lil less obv but the only thing that really affects dmg on cannons is weapon and power. since u obv cant crit . and besides if that is your strongest point….well then i guess thats not much of a debate. usually when ur attacking cannons there is a larger group/zerg which means with GC u might do about 6% of the total dmg if u really went all out and blew everything a GC could blow. p/d would prolly do 4%…… so sure ….. well played :P
and what do u mean bleeds isnt enough to kill? wow you really have no idea what ur talking about. what server are you on? might be able to duel you. if u have more than 1 class for the test of course.
if uwant my opinion on which is more fun…..well i slightly give the edge to S/D then p/d then d/p then d/d then p/p then s/p.
im not against d/p or s/d. i just was letting other newer thieves know which is best ALL AROUND for wvw…..not just roaming. and roaming is why people hate us. not zerg/group builds. sorry to take the attention away from the d/p spot light :P but what im saying is true.
im in the midst of collecting enough footage now. and i do kill thieves with descent so it does work. my old 5 0 30 30 5 build wouldnt really be able to. hence i cant show that footage as it only works on non descent theives. not a guru. this thread is NOT for master thieves …its for the 4-5 posts a day i see people asking for advice in wvw. if u think u got it goin on and are fine they way you are doing 1 v 1s then stay there doing 1 v 1s aor maybe the occaisonal 1 v 2.
no need for you to do both that and zerg style. just do what makes you happy and stop the hate man. cmon no need for that.
again s/d in wvw :P hard to finish (he uses SB mostly to finish?) https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Sword-Dagger-Build-Video
no. i but did notice it was removing sometimes the first somtimes the last. i think it MIGHT be random.
hills and turns. also somtimes it seems the condi removal has preferential choice.
walk away? idk what kidna build others are playing . but i set mine up so i can catch up…even without swiftness. 2700 range instant is quite nice. 1500 instant range every 20 secs is nice. cripple on demand is nice. stun is nice every 20 seconds. swiftness for 14 seconds every 20 seconds is nice too. :P
shadow return on sword bugs for me sometimes to. distance and choosing condi
By strongest, do you mean the one with most damage? If that’s the case, then this is the build that I’ve built for pure damage. I would never use this build though, unless you want to die if a warrior as much as sneezes near you. It doesn’t have any survivability, and all the utility skills are put into that one backstab…
You have 60% extra damage from traits(Exposed Weakness, Dagger Training, First Strikes, Flanking Strikes), runes(Scholar), sigils(Force) and Signet of Power. You also have 20 stacks of might and Sigil of Bloodlust.
This all adds up to some crazy damage. Tested it in sPvP, and almost all are dead after the combo. What you do is you pop skills in this order:
- Basilisk Venom
- Signet of Malice
- Signet of Power
- Signet of Agility
- Signet of Shadows
- Cloak and Dagger
- Steal
- Backstab
- Heartseeker
That’s it. You use all utility skills, heal and elite for this, so if your target isn’t dead, you’ll probably die ;p
drop hidden killer for executioner.
drop sundering strikes for venomous strength
changing side strike is optional.
sigil of night if applicable.
(need 25 stacks of bloodlust)
and also use curry food and quality stones for more power.
correct order of skills : BV SOM SOA SOS AS CND STEAL BS HS
and thats max dmg.
Then you simply out played him – good for you! /clap
I would say necros are by far the king of condition builds! Two necros figured I had really bad condition removal (S/P no stealth thief), so they had me run against a wall with fear and they simply feared me to death…
haha that sounds infuriating but funny! as a necro I always enjoy hearing how thieves suffer from our dirty tricks ;-)
team fights – necro condi builds > thief condi builds
solo roaming – thief condi builds > necro condi builds (thieves escape better)
thief condition builds are like 3rd worst in game. we really only have bleed and semi available poison now.

i usually try dodge the fear. kinda guess when its coming. early/late in fights usually.
PS….i dont think ele needs to get nerfed in the sense of what usually happens. im talking a few extra seconds on cooldowns between attunements. there are no classes/builds that can spam attack skills for hours without stopping. none. ele can. thats all im saying. eles have great defense (top 2 in game) 2nd best healing behind guardians and average dmg. pair this with spamming skills non stop…… i mean i think its a lil bit much. i mean i dont really ever see auto attack more than a rare situation from eles like this. every other classes use auto attack.
The problem is you cannot really kill anyone in 1v3 against decent players.
I mean, the only way you can achieve a stomp is to steal a fear and cast it when they have no stunbreaker and be lucky.You can kill ppl when they swing at the air with a downed mate, but they are not decent players.
A) you are pointing out a general problem against all thieves not just p/d.
B) i have bllind AOE on stealth (CND to stomp)
C) in zerg running i use DAGGERSTORM when needed and then stomp with stability.
D) Shadow Step stomp.
plenty of ways to get it down and plenty of vids to prove so. ive been looking online for zerg style thieves that can also 1 v 1 but have yet to find one video. im sure theres prolly 1 out ther but looking as to have a contrast of builds.
Lol of course P/D is unkillable, but it’s also insanely easy to play and thus boring. I find it funny you say ele needs to get nerfed (attunement swaps) just so you have an easier time using 1 and 5 against them.
Also, sigil of doom + sigil of energy share the same cooldown. You make yourself look like a fool claiming to ahve the best build blablabla when you don’t know this basic info.
d/d ele troll build i cant 1 v 5. bc of the aoe heals. 1 v 1 i can fine. but generally in a z v z i ignore eles as they really dont bring much to the table offensively…unless they are zerk spec in which case it takes about 8 secs to drop them.
about the sigils. if you read (maybe i misposted them) i use two weapon SETS not weapons. so when i switch one set has doom the other energy. i also dont really run doom anymore as its more of a 1 v 1 trait and just bring sigil of para and sigil of corruption.
