Appreciate the attention you give to all parts of the game, very important for new players to see videos besides “THIS is what YOU need to do EVERY DAY! How to make a trillion gold!” and just rattle off things a new player has no concept of
I am beyond thankful for you. Instant subscribe- you understand some players (actually most) who are new and returning may not want an immediate straight shot to the meta build until they get a hold of the basics first. This is goes way past helpful to specifically targeted content and I will be watching a lot more of your videos.
This helped me a lot. I’m using it now and it works well at 64. I’m not almost dead all the time now. First class in GW2 so I was intimidated by the skill tree.
Its really nice build, but if you want to play with "Autotarget" disabled then replace sword with dagger...works in awesome way!! Heart stab runs through the enemy and gets behind them then one can either escape or again get in the battle
One mention. From what i remember, the pistol whip actually hits 3 targets (the dmg hits 3 targets, the stun is still on the single target). Good in aoe
888th like :) I love the fact you saved the fight demonstration for the last part! I really enjoyed this game style. def gonna go with this build on my thief. currently reaching lvl 30
Will you do engineer next after this? I'm loving engineer right now and I want to learn more about the class. Great timing as well, since I want my second character to be a sylvari thief. Great video as always!
I need to share. Thief for me was hard to get into. Didnt knew what weapon combo are good. Thanks to the guide I cheesed the hell out of a veteran cave troll . XD sword pistol -5 and auto attacks. Pus im starting to enjoy thief. Love the bouncing auto atk on short bow. :) oh i also thought of soloing a champion with sword-pistol 5 and auto (might take 16hrs tho). Somebody told me its a group event and cant be soloed XD . NICE GUIDE bro !
I leveled Thief using pistol pistol power build which generated 25 might stack :D that was fun build to level with ... also you set your weapons one for each weapon sets and when you swapped they would prok instead of having four pistols you need only two
Not sure if this was changed since the video but the explanation for basilisk venom is very incorrect now. It lasts for 30 seconds but only affects your next attack. It does not turn enemies to stone for the entire 30 second duration, just the first enemy you hit during that timer.
this was really useful, im trying it tomorrow. i just got both HoT and PoF, will this build work with either daredevil/deadeye? ofc it will need some tweaks to be done here and there, but im intrigued if this is actually a recomended build to do with any of those elite specs. great video, keep it up
Hey buddy, just watching your thief guide (obviously) and I noticed you haven’t posted a video in quite a while. Are you going to be making any new videos with the expansion coming out in August? Hope all is well and I look forward to any future videos you put out.
How you described Baisilisk Venom sounded wrong to me. The venom buff lasts indeed for 30 secs but is gone if it is applied to an enemy, meaning it procs only one time. It's very useful in group content if you want to get rid of a defiance bar, otherwise I prefer the other elites for leveling/openworld content. The tooltip of Pistol Whip doesn't include the evasion time after the first strike that stuns (you can see your character is blurred out) during the cleave animation, wich is about 1,25 sec. This helps to evade incoming damage/interupting the skill by enemies via crowd control. Also the first strike that stuns is only applied to your main target.
Thank You for this video. So what's the best advice for new beginner coming to guild wars , I come from the WoW world. Should I just level up and enjoy the game than worry about the spec, skills, etc... ?
I joined GW2 around the same time you wrote this comment. You pretty much just need to start leveling up and figuring out the systems on your own. The only important things are to do every objective on the maps, try out all the weapons and found the playstyle that suits you the most, read through the "talent" system, a.k.a. check on what you can spend your points and unlock the traits/abilities which you find the most useful. What I'd advise to every new player is, to search for videos where they explain those little game settings or options, that are improving your quality of life, that help getting a better playstyle and which offer useful tips. There are a lot of new player guides out there with lots of non-race/profession specific hints and tips. Let me know, if you have already played in these last 2 months and already know these things!
32:56 your deadly arts trait,, Why do you have dagger training when you don't have a dagger equipped.. You would be better off using signet of power giving bonus passives to 3 of your signets and reduced cooldowns.. miles late but i just started playing 2 weeks ago and its time i started learning skills and trait effects.
Thanks! I boosted to 80 and was getting wrecked trying to learn the class. This video series is so helpful! I'm excited to start adventuring with this thief build.
Just in case you or someone else still doesn't know the answer to your question: it's because of the traits he chose in the trickery specialization line. There are traits that give boons on steal and another one that dazes the enemy when using steal
yeah i really don't enjoy being 'that guy', but dual pistols is several orders of magnitude better than sword/pistol in literally every single aspect for leveling it's safer, faster, does far better sustained damage, incomparable signet burst, better sustain and more sword/pistol is a meme in comparison

Haha I totally agree! 😃 Just want to help new players understand things without throwing around loads of terms they're not going to know yet!

I’m getting back into the game after a few years away. Your videos are very helpful!!
Thanks man, glad I can help! 😃

Just in time, switched to playing my thief that I boosted a few years back - Keep alt switching but loving the thief at the moment
That's awesome! Hope it helps 😃

Thank you ! been looking for days to find a video like this. Returning to the game after a couple years away.. great video!
I know I am late to the game (no pun intended) but I cannot tell you how much this guide helped me.
Will you do engineer next after this? I'm loving engineer right now and I want to learn more about the class. Great timing as well, since I want my second character to be a sylvari thief. Great video as always!
That's right, just the Engineer left to do now so keep an eye out! 😃
@@HeroicFlamingo I didn't even notice that the engineer is the last one. Looking forward to it!
I've been waiting for this one! Cheers 🍻
You're very welcome! 😃
I liked the dual wield ability with dual daggers
Yoooo its here! Awesome man,thank you!
You're very welcome! I hope you find it helpful 😃
Just found your channel and love your videos. But I noticed you have not posted anything in a year. Just curious as to why.

Sounds really cool! I like dual pistols 😃
Hold 3, epic gameplay
@@HeroicFlamingo the original build probably was Deadeye from woodenpotatoes but who knows, it has been year or two and my thief is now lvl80
super helpful guide for a new player, appreciate it
Can we talk about the epic FASHION of your thief! great guide thank you

I like the thief because it’s way more engaging. I mean that what it feels like. I’m about to start one.
This is awesome, do you have written guide?
Thanks helped a lot

he still gets power from that trait just not the bonus that you get when you use dagger.
great video!
Thanks man! 😃
what about the revealed training specialization?
Thanks! I boosted to 80 and was getting wrecked trying to learn the class. This video series is so helpful! I'm excited to start adventuring with this thief build.
Bro... with dye is that? Black Orange.... SOOOO SICK
COOL!!!
What's your armor? It's looking good.
Is it from gem store, it looks different from equipment?
@@mokiledenostenac76 i think it a madking outfit
why does my steal ability only cause poison while yours is doing so much more?
because it depends on the boon the adds have
Just in case you or someone else still doesn't know the answer to your question: it's because of the traits he chose in the trickery specialization line. There are traits that give boons on steal and another one that dazes the enemy when using steal
i whice all you youtube show give a like. i ues thief now low lvl now can go dual pies for now but pit on black bar??
the most Weekes class in the game.
Pistol- Pistol and I'm melting mobs
yeah i really don't enjoy being 'that guy', but dual pistols is several orders of magnitude better than sword/pistol in literally every single aspect for leveling
it's safer, faster, does far better sustained damage, incomparable signet burst, better sustain and more
sword/pistol is a meme in comparison
