Just equip Signet of the hunt

What gear and consumables n such would you use for WvW though ? Well that depends on what you aim to achieve. The build im running is straight glass canon, and is rather fragile. Its 11k hp and burst runes. Surv/utility comes from tricks and the blinds/stealth baked into d/p. Should you want more Survivability you can mix in valk or/and marauder gear. Same goes for consumables. Although, if you'd rather be a bit more durable, just roll standard daredevil sa d/p!

Granted this isnt d/d, but this is what i play for fun right now in pvp, numbers should be way higher i wvw. Survivability is actually ok due to the nature of the weapon set. Get regular hs 12-13k on <25%hp. Bs hits like a truck, and thats in pvp games. Bonus, people seem to have forgotten the bursty thieves and panics on opener. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PawAgqVlNw2YasO2JOsLbrVA-zZIPleFC5LBCYEUwCwEDA

As mentioned, doesnt fare as well as d/p or rifle, or even perhaps s/d. Here's one that relies a lot in rng steals to recharge util skills. Shortbow should be used defensively while your burst window is down. Steal is the key ability so ut shouldn't be spammed off cd. Mind that imrov trait has a 20sec icd whilst swipe's cd is a bit lower.http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PawAgiVlNw2YXsMGJOMXrtUA-zVRYBRHdRME6jR7CoeCIdA-w This one uses SA for a bit safer gameplay. Flickering shadows can be used if you struggle vs power builds (forgot to swap runes in thai one, doesnt need vigor from runes since it runs bountyful thief.)http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PawAgiVlFw2YXsM2Je2WntUA-zVRYBRHdRME6jR7CoeCIdA-w Feel free to tinker around with runes, stats and food!

Actually axes are realisticly more likely for a cheap thief than a sword due to the cost of a sword compared to axes. One could argue that the thief stole a sword though.

A greatsword and a katana is not the same thing. A katana is japanese and single edged, has a curved blade and is much shorter than a greatsword. It's used in either one or two hands (to support mounted combat). While the greatsword was developed during the renaissanse in europe, was double edged and measured commonly as tall as the user. (1.6-1.8m) big and heavy! Sorry if I come off as sour ;)

Shadow arts core condi thief. Wait in stealth for them to get out of stealth, apply your ranged condi (pistol stealth attack with poisons) watch them melt.
