GW2. Power S/D Daredevil Thief PvP Build. Roamer Thief PvP.
Last Update: September 2024
The Power S/D Daredevil is a Roamer Thief PvP build just like the core variant, but it is better at sticking to targets with the dash on dodge, making it better at killing tankier targets or team fighting while the core variant is better at roaming and bursts. Due to having the Daredevil traitline, you have much more weakness access as well, from hitting an attack after dodging, which allows you to trade blows with other power classes more safely.
The purpose of the build is to secure kills on isolated or focus targets with your team. However, if there is not much pressure you cannot fully commit to a kill because of the low sustain of a thief. You want to abuse the Sword 2 and the evade uptime to poke targets out of their cooldowns until you can finally finish them off.
Basic Combo: Sword 2 > Dagger 5 > Tactical Strike (Stealth 1) > 3 > F1 + 3
Advanced Combo: Dagger 4 > Sword 2 (In) > 5 > 1 > 3 > 3 > 2 (out) > F1 + 5 > 1 > 3 > 3
Creating pressure around the map simply by moving can also help to get kills. When stuck in the same fight for a while, the enemy may be able to sustain through your cooldowns, but when forcing the enemy to follow you to reinforce fights you create, you have an advantage of getting there first. Use this to your advantage and keep moving whenever you can’t finish kills in a fight. However, if your team needs a kill and there is no other place you could put pressure, stay there because decapturing or capturing objectives is not your primary job.
