Staff Daredevil Open World Build

GW2. Open World Build. Power Staff Daredevil. Thief PvE.

---

The Power Staff Daredevil is a mobile thief build for open world PvE that is simple but requires good positioning and timing to survive and maximize damage dealt.

Dodging deals damage and gives damage modifiers. Try to dodge before depleting initiative on the Staff damaging abilities 2 or 5 (depending on whether you need an evade or not). Use Swipe/Steal (to trigger Celerity Sigil) and Haste for quickness to improve the speed of your Staff 1. Dodging and Staff 5 are not affected by quickness, so prefer not to overlap them. Use Signet of Agility and Channeled Vigor when you run out of dodges.

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.
