GW2. A guide for the Sword Dagger Thief PvP build. Core and Daredevil Variant.
Last Update: December 2023
Core Thief Variant
The Sword Dagger Thief is a Roamer that gets in and out very safely using the sword 2 which leaves a return location that they can port back to within 15 seconds. Using this wisely to place the return location safely, they can play aggressively to bait out cooldowns with little risk until they are ready to finish off their opponents. This build lacks reliable stealth, but survives through positioning and evades. It also has great boon removal and unblockable access which makes it the best thief build for team fights despite being mainly a roamer.
Basic Combo: Sword 2 > Dagger 5 > Tactical Strike Sw1 > Sword 3 > F1 > Sword 3
Advanced Combo: Dagger 4 > Sword 2 > Sw 5 > Sw1 > Sw3 > Sw3 > Sw2 > F1 > Dagger5 > Sw1 > Sw3 > Sw2 > Sw3

The Sword Dagger Daredevil is a Roamer just like the core variant, but it is better at sticking to targets with the dash on dodge and has even more access to unblockable, making it better at killing tankier targets or team fighting while the core variant is better at roaming and bursts.
