GW2. WvW Build. Condition P/D Core Thief Roaming Build. Thief World vs World.
Last Update: January 2024
Overview
The P/D Condi Thief uses gap closers from Steal and Infiltrator Signet to enable Shadow Strike which becomes Repeater. Repeater is one of your highest damaging skills that bleeds and poisons so it is the highest priority skill to land. This build has great burst but must be timed well or done on the right targets to get results.
Synergy
Shadow Strike and its flip over skill Repeater gain poison from Deadly Ambition trait, giving high burst damage. Shortbow auto attacks Trick Shot can do plenty of bleeding when the target is poisoned as well.
Playstyle
Use Infiltrator Signet and Steal to land Shadow Strike or Cloak and Dagger reliably. Follow up Cloak and Dagger with Sneak Attack in melee range and then use Shadow Strike to get back to range while spamming Repeater. Kite in between with dodges and fit in a Sneak Attack with the stealth from heal skills.

I think I prefer Acro over SA now that your only access to stealth is Cloak and Dagger. I’m curious what you think of using different relics after Antitoxin’s nerf. I’ve found I quite like Evasion.
