GW2. Open World Build. Power Daredevil Open World. Staff Daredevil. Thief PvE.
Last Update: September 2024
The Power Daredevil for Open World is a thief build that dodges to deal damage using the Staff which is a simple weapon to use but requires good positioning and timing to survive and maximize damage dealt.
Dodging deals damage and gives damage modifiers. Try to dodge once every few seconds before using your damaging skills. Use Signet of Agility, Steal, or Channeled Vigor when you run out of dodges.
Because dodging displaces your character, you want to dodge through your enemy so that you land on top of them to deal damage, rather than dodging away. Make sure to stand at maximum melee range when performing your staff skills so that you can immediately dodge through your target and be in range to keep attacking with staff skills.
Skill Priority:
- Dodge to upkeep Bounding Dodger buff
- Steal (if needing gap closer or more resources)
- Channeled Vigor (if needing dodges)
- Staff 5 (if needing an evade or mobility)
- Staff 2
- Staff 1
Position yourself at the maximum hit range while using Staff 1 so you can time your dodges when you need to evade an attack but still dodge through the enemy to still be in range and damage them with your dodge.

Love this but would it work with PVT gear instead of Zerker?
No, but if you want more vitality you can use a mix of Dragon’s or Marauder’s stats, just keep attention to not overcap critical chance.
I really wonder what is the Swindler’s Equilibrium trait is for tho? seem to have no effect unless underwater unless using a sword which this build is not, am i missing something?
bonus power
