A hybrid Thief build for WvW roaming. The gameplan is simple: proc {{Trait|Bounding Dodger}} in {{Skill|Black Powder}} for stealth, follow up {{Skill|Sneak Attack}} - repeat until target dies. Due to its simple playstyle it's also quite beginner friendly.

Still not a weak build, but it did eat a couple of nerfs recently, both directly (Pistol 5) and indirectly (4s revealed). Anet handing out Resistance to other specs like candy also doesn't help a build that relies on Blind and Weakness to mitigate incoming damage. A good DP thief can still be scary, but it's becoming harder and harder to work this spec.

Infinite stealth resets during a fight is bonkers. Add blind on top of that and some builds can't even fight back. Even does high damage, well higher compared to the PvP version. I hate it and love it at the same time.

Hard to learn but if u know how most classes work, u can easily 1v3 and never die

Solid roamer with some room for tweaking to the individual's style, extremely capable in the hands of a skilled player but any thief who has the D/P basics down can enjoy the benefits of this build. For those who love mobility, this is the build for you. A mainstay of WvW since the dawn of time for a reason.

The perfect roamer/scout, recon without fear of the enemy catching up with you and in the unlikely event that they do, you still have the firepower to make them regret it.
