Taylan.2187 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I like my thief, though i'm still not completely sure what build to run. I use it mostly for PvP (both sPvP and WvW) and I think I'll settle for condi. (Feel free to change my mind.) For now it's a condi Daredevil (might switch to Deadeye at one point) and I've been using pure d/d, though I think I'll switch to d/p and bow now. I've been using traps and trickery for a while because I like the troll factor. I've mostly been using Carrion stats, meaning Power, Condi, and Vitality. I think less Vitality would make me too squishy, but I wonder if I'm missing out on Precision? Should I keep going with Carrion, or would you recommend another stat set? I have to decide especially because I'm starting to gear up Ascended and don't have the resources to keep buying new stuff for different stats.

Leo Schrodingers Cat.2497 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It worked pretty well back in the day. The biggest thing though is you have to stay pretty aggressive as you don't have anything increasing the time for the Condi damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saerni.2584 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 In PvP for condi: Carrion or Deadshot If you want to go more hybrid: Wizard For WvW you can mix stats to get the balance you like. Trailblazer, Grieving, Carrion for example. I use Carrion mixed with Grieving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Schrodingers Cat.2497 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The biggest thing though is Carrion works best on Core thief, as it frees up a slot to take Deadly Arts or Shadow Arts, and Critical Strikes to make up for precision... as Trickery is pretty much taking up one of your slots.

Unless you have a teammate that will apply Protection on you 100% of the time, you're not going to last against glass cannons. This is why Trailblazer is the popular and safest bet, but it wouldn't be hybrid. Trapper Rune lost it's value when they changed how Meld with Shadows works. I used to troll with a P/P trapper hybrid, but that build no longer works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
