I will say that, even though numbers wise this week is unbalanced, it still has been a lot of fun so far. I’ve had some good fights while roaming, found some really great players that I hope to face against sometime (some to redeem myself >_< ) and some just because the fights was so much fun, and afterwords either I bow respectfully or my opponent does the same. Good sportsmanship like that makes me want to keep getting better and be a respectful opponent like these people. Props to all servers <3
This has been a really interesting week in my opinion. I’ve had a couple of great duels this week with people when defending a camp, and as always I have a blast when trying to hold off an attack on our towers. Thanks for making this a great week GoM and DH! And of course I always love my HoD family ~
I just want to give a little bow to the DH thief that I dueled with tonight on the HoD Borderlands. A teammate and I were watching him, he stealthed and jumped my ally, stomped him, and then him and I fought for what felt like forever, we both downed each other and I managed to win. He then party requested me simply to say that it was an amazing duel and hopes we meet again. That’s sportsmanship right there, and it was fun and I respect his skills.
Was the fight right next to a guard post, and are you an elementalist, and was he a Charr?
Yes indeed it was. In all honesty I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have won if the guard wasn’t there. He more than kept me on my toes.
Ahaha. Nah, you won fantastically, guard or no, and I was impressed. You definitely know how to control your movements, which is coming from a thief. I look forward to a rematch one day.
You as well! I haven’t had a good duel like that in a long time. And you’re an amazing thief, usually I’m not very impressed with thieves but yours really earned my respect. Makes me jealous I can’t play mine that well >_<

Looks like the exotic set from Ascalon Catacombs dungeon, minus the hood. I can’t remember what the hood is from but I believe you can start with it when you create a thief.
I’m just guessing that Phantasm focused builds aren’t really that useful? I used to always try and maintain Phantasms up for DPS, but ever since I focused more on Shattering I’ve been clearing things a lot faster and rarely getting “downed” unless I’m facing a champion and I couldn’t dodge around fast enough.
Oh so it’s not that expensive if I want to change? That’s good. Today I decided to change out my sword/pistol for the greatsword, and still using the staff as my secondary. It’s made soloing mobs a lot easier. Right now at lvl 40 I put 10 points in Dom, 10 in Chaos, and 10 in illusions, with the two Mind Wrack traits and my clones putting random conditions on an enemy when they are killed.
I haven’t tried sPvP yet, but I do go into WvW like every night after I’m done doing whatever I wanted to accomplish in PvE for the day. I do pretty decent there, but my server seems to always be losing. But like I always say, you learn the most in a game when you’re losing, cause then you’re forced to think outside the box. ~
AH! Didn’t even notice that. Thanks bunches, I wasn’t really looking at other threads, being my first time on here and all. Wonderful, a thread with build ideas is perfect.
Hey! Let me start by thanking anyone reading this and giving me a moment of your time.
So I just recently (like maybe 2 weeks ago) started playing GW2, after having to wait forever to finally get it. Having played GW1 in it’s entirety as a Mesmer I had to make that my main character. Absolutely no regrets, the class is so cool now and is what I always envisioned the Mesmer to be like.
I’ve only recently gotten to level 35 and have started thinking about my traits. That’s the one thing I don’t entirely understand about GW2 yet, as they are kinda like the old attribute points but you need to pay to change them, and I don’t want to regret my choices. Anyway, I was wondering what traits I should be aiming for?
Currently I use the Staff/Sword+Pistol combo and since I mainly play PvE so far (and guild-less) I tend to be alone most of the time so my playstyle involves dodging and summoning and shattering like a mad woman while taking on mobs solo.
