Did #38…no chest.
I am extremely frustrated with your patching =/
Well, congrats on your progress thus far with getting armor and weapons you need, you seem like your enjoying yourself and that’s whats most important.
As far as your trinkets, you can buy them all from the laurel/wvw merchant if you want and that is just fine. The reason why many don’t (or at least why I don’t) is that I value laurels more over pristine fractal relics and commendations. Laurels you get only 1 per day and that is IF you complete your dailies. and if you complete your monthlies you get an additional 10 more laurels which would net you only 40 laurels per month (pristine fractal relics are for ascended rings). But once you get that you only need 10 relics to purchase any ascended ring of your choosing (so about 10 days, 1 fotm run a day to get 1 ring.) That is much faster than laurels already not to mention you have a chance of getting an ascended ring drop for you after your daily fotm. btw, you can get the fotm chest(relics inside + rings if your lucky) if you do every lvl tier.
Commendations, you can earn up to 6/per week. You only need 12 commendations +5g to purchase any of the ascended trinkets. (so 2 weeks and you can get a trinket)
To go back to your question..sure you can use your laurels to get your ascended trinkets/rings but it’ll take a lot longer to get them than it would if you did a fotm run occasionally and did guild missions once a week. But if you don’t plan on using your laurels for anything else such as shards or infusions go ahead and get your gear. You will always get back those laurels.
I agree with Divine. Go for berserker’s gear from the beginning. It may be hard staying alive at first but as you play you will learn your thief, learn your dungeons and will not die as much. For your armor set I recommend you go run around Eotm. You will earn badges of honor, not to mention plenty of experience, which you could then go to eternal battlegrounds and get yourself an exotic armor/weapon set at little gold cost.
Like it was said earlier. Sw/p is best for trash mobs and d/d for bosses. Use your bow as a utility to blast fields if needed.
Also, don’t worry so much about those pro dungeon guides. They have great information about gear and food but they do not always tell you what to do at every situation for every dungeon. Focus on doing the dungeons, learning not only the paths but monsters and surroundings as well. learn your character and what you need to bring with you not only to survive but deal optimum damage. But most of all, don’t force it and have fun with it.
Well that makes a lot of sense frans. I see what you mean, comparing the vitality and healing power. I haven’t considered celestial but I will look into it, see how the armor set would affect the thief.
I’m also going to reconsider the Dire set, since it’ll give me the toughness I want and even more conditions than celestial.
Thanks for the much needed input and thoughts guys!
As nice as perplexity is I don’t have any desire to use that with my thief. I also was not trying to make a troll build. I see how a Dire set of armor is helpful however I still want to maintain high healing vs having a bit more life.
But what I gathered is that the setup I have (though I might tweak it slightly) will give me plenty of survivability and should still get the job done.
I was just looking for something different than the usual zerk stealth/back stab and flanking strike over and over thieves that I usually see.
Hey guys. I’ve got my thief to lvl 80 not too long ago and I was hoping to get some opinions on a build before I start using up gold/resources to create it.
The idea I had for this is to have a bunker condi thief for WvW and sPvP. I don’t anticipate downing an enemy within a few seconds like most zerk thiefs but I was wanting to have good survivability.

That is the link to the build I am considering.
What I would like to be able to get out of this build is high regen and good condition damage. The concern I have with this build is I do not have too much in my condition duration and I feel that may be my downfall since it’s nearly all coming from food.
I’m looking for your thoughts. Will the setup I currently have be enough condition damage/ duration? Will it supply me with enough regen/ tankiness?
Thanks Everyone!
I had the same issue today. I rep my guild and started doing guild missions with my guild. I did not get any commendations. I could get to the end….get chests….get event completed…but no commendations. Completed all gm’s and I got 0 commendations. What is going on? I had this issue 2 weeks ago too!
