From experience, going melee in GvG is suicidal. We do not have protection or stability to last in a melee train.
Few roles that I can identify for thief is
1. Stomper
2. Rezzer
3. Shortbow blast finisher spammer
4. Range DPS via pistol/pistol.
Often I find spamming pistol 2 every other sec helps. Perm immobilize can really help to focus fire down a target.
Skills to slot will include Withdraw and Roll for initiative are highly recommended. Mobility is very important.
Overall imho, thief is pretty useless in GvG. We do not contribute enough. Some other classes are more suited for bigger group fights.
Thank you for your feedbacks.
First few fights are showing how I was camping/ambushing at certain places. Most of the time in WvW, people do not want to fight you unless they are greater in numbers. Even when chasing opponents who just want to run away, I did not have it easy. Thief is quite a challenge to play seriously. I am sure most thief are like me where we had bad timing to skills usage. You are not alone.
I acknowledge there is mostly nothing constructive in this video but we already have so many quality/inspiring fights video by the likes of Yishii, Blackbird, Wildbill and many others.
It is really a video to laugh at a stupid/noob thief, that’s me.
PS: So hard to find music to add to the video without youtube telling you, “this music is copyright…. you cannot use…”
Hi guys,
Like to share a 11min clip of my thief battles. Includes many mistakes I have made but it is for your entertainment. This is my thief (before dec10, 2013 patch).
Hope will you enjoy it.
In Crystal Desert, I joined an PvE guild. With bonus to XP and Magic Find 24/7. People regularly form dungeon runs, Guild Wars event runs, guild runs etc. We have players from US and Oceanic. If you are interested, whisper ingame and I’ll get an officer to invite you and you can guest on this server.
If you like to press a lot of buttons with plenty of Area of Effects – Elementalist.
If you like to play more melee style with dodges/evades/blocks etc – Ranger.
Both are pretty good for PvP but I would think it takes more skill to play Elementalist compare to Ranger.
The Elementalist build I assume will be the common DD bunker.
The Ranger build I assume will be the common Beastmaster bunker.
There are a few videos of the builds in the respective profession forums. You should spent some time and take a look.
