GW2: Thief Thread

Anyone has any advice from a thief perspective. I decided to make an alt and was wondering what comments people had about this profession.

I'm level 62 right now running a Condition build for bleeding.

Precision + Condition Damage and Vit/Toughness, Short Bow + DD and Death Blossom spam with some bow action for more stacks. I can run a bleed stack to ~15+ on a single mob and spread it to additional monsters with the Short Bow. Initiative + Initiative recovery through stealth and stealing...it's pretty nasty and really fun.

With Pr1mo on this. Go D/D, +condition gear, caltrops(ability, not trait), roll for initiative, daggerstorm. Pull mobs with bow, drop caltrops, switch to D/D, death blossom and win.

Yup, it's ridiculous. With some toughness stats and high crit, your Thief will be a beast/tanky.

Which tree did you focus on first? I was feeling a little squishy so I went with the toughness tree. Take that to 10 then switch to the Precision/condition dmg tree?

Also did you find any advantage to getting +healing gear for health return on hit?

I'm at work right now and I have school after until 9:45 CST. I'll post my entire build and provide some details as best as I can (I'm by far not a theorycrafter, but I do have an idea as to what and why I'm using what I'm using, hehe).

When I was doing my reading on my altoholic thief, posts mention using the signet of malice (heal when you attack) as being really good when you do AOE attacks like short bow or death blossom, you can give that a try to heal up fast.
