Hey there. So I do a little of everything in game and was recently in a guild that started to get a little too hardcore for me (attendance requirements, must always be on TS, etc). Honestly they just got too big for me I think. Anyway, looking for a guild to play with. I probably spend the most time in WvW, though I do run fractals, hunt champions, do dungeons and occasionally play some sPvP. I’d love to get back into doing guild events.

I have two geared out 80s (thief and mesmer) and try to find a balance between maxing out my characters and casual play. I have a couple friends that play with me (casually) that would likely join me at some point. Also I’ve been known to take breaks for a few weeks at a time. I’m just looking for a guild that likes to get stuff done together with a good sense of humor and laid back attitude.

Please send me some in game mail or post here about your guild if you think I’d be a good fit.

Thanks.

Here’s a disorganized list of stuff I’ve learned doing dungeons so far. And yes, thieves can fill any roll they want to, it’s just maybe not as obvious as other classes.

• Shadow refuge is a great way to stealth rez downed players, as well as provide a combo field and regen to melee players.
• Blinds are amazing, you seem to have skimmed over them. They’re one of the best things you can provide your group. Black Powder works as a combo field and is a great way to blind (you can be at range). So is Smoke screen (Smoke screen also blocks all projectiles! Great for locking down a ranged mob for a few seconds!)
• Shortbow is great for AoE fights, and P/P is great for single target
  SB: Poison everyone, drop clisterbombs, shoot arrows through a smoke screen (aoe blind)
  P/P: Stack vulnerability (#2 ability) and bleeds (auto attack) and apply blinds using Black Powder and/or smoke screen. Interrupts (4 on P/P) are amazing for stopping big attacks! Burst it down with Unload when it’s low on health.
• Venom shares can be pretty useful as well, as everyone gets any venoms you use. They also get any “on venom application” trait bonuses too!
• Some traits apply boons to teammates when you steal!
• Stealth drops aggro. SB 3 ability has an evade built in and is one of (if not the) best kiting abilities in game.
• Melee is very possible. I’d go S/P. Your 3 ability has a constant evade built in along with a stun for “free” interrupts (in addition to #4’s instant interrupt). Combine that with near constant blind applications and maybe traiting for extra endurance and you’re a pretty decent “tank”. Things get too hairy? Drop a Shadow Refuge to lose aggro and drop back to range or kite them with SB. Thieves Guild will also draw aggro away from you and your group, while applying more blinds and damage!
• Against a boss with lots of condition damage? Use Hide in the Shadows, it can remove most conditions every 30 seconds.
• Getting stunned a lot? Shadow step can effectively break 2 stuns in a row.

This needs to be bumped to the top. Having to lower my settings on a top end setup was annoying enough, but the map bug was killing me. Can’t wait to get home and install this. I’m so excited! Thanks!
