I was wondering—what greatsword to go with it?

Why should I delete him? I will put him on the shelf and just wait a few nerf-waves, and he will be back again, maybe this time with a chainsaw.
btw we should both get a life—across all my chars I have played (blushes/embarrassed): 2688 hours…. :s

Ah, I must have misunderstood the guide. I thought that you attacked with Blackpowder+3x heartseekers+backstab.
And that permastealth was done away from an opponent, in the same way, minus backstab of course.
Duh! My bad. Sorry.
1. I will suggest, that you can see other players tag (name), if they are from the same server, when hovering over their names, like you can when in a guild.
I have eight characters, and it would be nice, if people from my server could recognize me, when I’m playing either one of them.
(Maybe and option not to show the name tag would be fine)
2. I will suggest, that guilds got to siege or upgrade a tower/keep/camp, before they are allowed to claim it. This way they won’t just claim it, and leave it to the carebears to do the hard (and costly) work for them.
3. I will suggest, now that you can get karma shared for all your characters in WvW, that you also can share ranks. Logic says, that ranks are personal, and Anet said “no, this will never be” or something like that—but if karma isn’t personal any longer, why on earth should rank? (Personal=for just 1 character)
I have, as I said, 8 level 80 characters of 8 different professions, and why would Anet force me to play only one?
Now I have to be solely on my warrior, who has master in trebs, acs and mortars—but I sometimes wants to use my thief, or one of the other characters, and frankly, maybe I just won’t care about rank and use them all. But then the whole idea of ranks goes down the drain?
I have across all characters played 2.609 hours over the past 427 days, so maybe I should get a life, or Anet should start listening to me.

Smoke screen + 4 clusters, I can do that.
Put a blinding power on top of it, too.
Hey, behave!
Exactly how much stealth do you gain from this “bug”?
Yes, please… make the video, I am really bad at this, I just jump way out of the field… lol
Nice to have the buildmaker here!
I wanted to ask you: Do you want to make any changes to the build after the latest updates/nerfs, or is it good?
Thanks! I really like your build! I take it the skills in Deadly Arts are so important, that there is no room for Master of Deception? Or is it just no good?
Also, after Black Powder+3x heartseekers I seem to have no stealth to backstap? Am I just being exceptionally slow or…?

Regardless of the current state of thief I would still like to know a nice efficient and effective thief build for wvw if anyone can point me in a direction to work towards.

I like this one.
WvW build: Hammer / Mace/Shield build. Full CC blasting. Can literally stun/daze/knockdown someone from 100% health to dead. The main con is no mobility like sword or greatsword offers. However, the key is to build it based on Hoelbrak Runes, Dogged March, and Lemongrass food and pick up Berserker’s Stance (for fighting thieves) and Endure Pain for getting away or fighting GC players when stuns are down.
I push 3500 toughness with shield and mace. Pretty nice when coupled with condition duration reductions that push 90% on immobilizes.
A common rotation with cleansing ire (due to a great amount of adrenaline gain) is to start with Hammer – Backbreaker, Staggering Blow, Earthshaker, switch to mace, Pommel Bash, Shield Bash, Skullcrack. Typically dead, no matter the class unless they used stability. Even if they do most players only pick up one form of it and you can quickly adapt with a new stun within seconds do to burst mastery and cleansing ire. I don’t use cleansing ire per say for the condition removals it’s for the adrenaline gain. However, those necros and the like that eat food that increases condition duration by 40% it cancels my lemongrass so this can be helpful.

Taken from “Post your build”-thread—thnx Tyrion.4259—I am running this build, it’s fantastic!
I think the database gets overloaded from time to time. That, or the Mac version running on Wine, (I think it is) —- and that’s why Janson was asking about the operating system. Probably needs an update (Wine, I mean)
7/10 – I like the name Kitara, saw you on Piken?
5/10 – Bauccus – doesn’t ring any bells.
My name is Vulg Painbrain. Guess who he is named after?

Very nice build, Tyrion! I have been running it for the last couple of days in wvwvw, and it really makes my warrior fun to play!

This is a very nice build! I am actually using it now in wvw.

@Stealth—it’s not food, I use food, it’s something you carry; yes, it sounds weird, you should try it.
@DaPhoenix: “I maintained perma swiftness using items, i.e. pot of hylek poison. Its’ first ability offers 15 seconds of swiftness, so its fairly easy to maintain perma swiftness in combination to swapping to air.”
You can actually get used to this. Btw, I’m sure you know that if you double-click Hylek of Poison to bring it on your bar, you can click the #1 swiftness (hare) twice, and then the pot disappears, leaving you with a normal bar. But if you put it down and pick it up again, you can use it endlessly, you can even put it down again and pick it up, until you make it go away by using a skill while it’s on your bar.
That’s at least my experience. Maybe it’s a bug?
Yes, DaPhoenix, we are eagerly awaiting your wisdom!
Thanks for a great guide! Btw if you hate running dungeons, two superior runes of water and four superior runes of altruism is your only choice for 80% boon duration (not a bad choice either).
