GW2 Thief Discussion

I have more fun with sword/dagger than dagger/dagger (although I do like leaping death blossom).

Yep, if steal continues to work as it did today I honestly can't complain about it. It was a great class ability and I used it on cooldown all the time, and always got something useful.

Worth noting: Most of LPD's damage actually comes from the bleeds.

in pvp stole this crystal shard thing from another thief that like inflicted 15s 5 stacks of vuln and i think weakness (i wasnt able to read it all b4 i had to use it for the vuln stacks)

also: a weapon swap (p/p for me) with sigil of ice and sigil of intelligence is a cool combo =o

I got backstabbed by another thief for 12136 damage during a pvp match, I'd really like to know what build he was using o_O


Was running with a venom build most of the time, it's really great Don't get the huge numbers but you get lots of smaller numbers Felt like I had much more consistent damage and was able to win every one on one fight on even terms, except for vs rangers, that rapid shot ability is amazingly overpowered still :P

This build,http://www.gw2builds.org/view/345049...run_specialist i tried it out during the stress test, and while it's alot of fun, it's not very reliable :P nor effective against good players

Mannaged backstabs as high as 19.000 on a few elementalists :P

That's a small amount. I've seen screenshots of 22k Backstab crits.

Meh, I don't care about the damage, I just like the animation.

Damage matters when trying to build properly!

I was just pointing it out because I've realized my dual skill build will need heavy amounts of Malice from the gear. I could obviously try relying completely on Unload, but that would mean I'm only half as effective. Although I could, obviously, also put points into Trickery, that's not actually a whole lot of Malice at level 80.

turn until the animation is over.

Yes, and make every piece of thief gear coated with oil so they light themselves ablaze every time they equip a torch.

well thats not an entirely bad strategy



plus leather is typically treated with oil during the tanning process, or when being made into armor


so it sounds like a good idea. over the top

i like over the top

Pft, that's magic blue fire of righteousness. Makes you feel like the human torch that converted to a zealous cult of self immolation. Also it's disappointing because unlike the oil drenched thief HE ISN'T DEAD FROM 20000000 DEGREE BURNS!
