Shakkara.2641

I played through most living world content with zerker gear, spamming shortbow 1/2 and kiting/dodging like crazy. Tried all kinds of melee builds but it just didn't work for me.

Thanks a lot for all the useful comments! So I tried Engineer the holosmith (this build https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Holosmith_-_Explosive_Roamer ), but it didn't go very well. I found it impossible to singlehandedly clear camps (I have to get into close range, but am made of paper and I have no distraction like thieves guild, so the shooty NPCs just kill me in seconds) and there's just too many buttons to press. Felt very frustrated, so went back to thief. The plan right now is to farm some more of those wvw tickets and then forge a legendary wvw breastplate so I have the stat change option available, and give various Revenant builds a try. It'd also be useful to have that sort of kit for a guardian for raids later, as I'm not getting into any raids as Thief either.

Hi all, I've been playing WvW for over a year, just capturing camps and banners and tagging along raids if I see them. Generally it is fun, however the PVP part of it totally isn't. I am playing thief but no matter what build I try, I can't seem to do any damage and I die as soon as the dodges run out. I often don't even manage to take 10% off an enemy player's health, if I can hit them at all, because various classes just stunlock and instakill or outrange and kite me. The only thing I am remotely good at is stealthing and running away. At this point I've totally had it with Thief and would consider playing another class. Currently I have a Guardian and Revenant at 80 with a lot of their profession stuff unlocked.I also have a level 80 Mesmer, Warrior, Engineer and Elementalist, but they don't have much unlocked yet. Still have a level 80 token and an empty slot, so starting from scratch would be an option too. For weapons I have an Ascended sword (zerker), pistol (power/precission/condition), shortbow (zerker), hammer(power/toughness/fero/healing), shield (power/healing/concentration).Regarding armor, I have Ascended medium berserker armor and an ascended celestial heavy breastplate and ascended leggings (power/toughness/vitality). Ascended wings with zerker and (power/precission/condition/expertise) stats.Have various ascended rings and trinkets and enough wvw currency to buy whatever. Still got an ascended necklace that I don't have stats selected on. I would kind of like your advice on what I can play considering the gear and characters and gear I already have.
