S/D takes less skill, spam 3... Randomly press 5 and steal when initiative is low, repeat... Along with endless dodges... With D/P you have to pick your open wisely. If you don't you have to reset and pretty much give ground on the point. Meaning you HAVE to unstealth asap or you are not doing your job. I've fought many S/D, D/D, P/D, and D/P in WvW and PvP to know what I'm talking about. And before you say WvW is easier... The builds and gear do more in WvW then in PvP. For the slow bus learners, that means if you fuck up, you'll end up dying much faster.
Also you're a fucking asshat that prolly got carried. I have a name, it's Go Fuck Yourself EU Trash. There's only a few EU players I respect, most I do play in NA, and you ma'am, ain't one.
s/d takes less skill = my point proven that sd is better for a newbie."prolly got carried", some history for you,because u are naive. With pish we had 4 roster changes in 2 weeks before the preliminaries and we still kept being top team(some of them for ages some of them for health reasons and some of them for region) no sir i joined pish when they were 5th-6th team same day they became top 1-3, iron we started the team from 0 to beat every team for the month we were running it( i was calling every rotation and every team fight target for 1 month), after i left them, cause i was worn out by their inability to rotate, they became mediocre, and so u know pish was me ghnoy eristina fluid and selthom(2 original members of pish there, the rest was me and the 2 ppl i brought from the previous teams i was on).
At the time i was playing EU was overwhelmingly better than NA, after pax premilinaries almost every top tier pvper quited(this to the EU trash comment).
I don't ask your respect,this thread is not about me or you, I ask you to respect a new guy to the game without giving him bullshit advice about d/p, because as u admit urself sd is easier. If you believe its easier to manage stealth/initiative/combo field+finisher and rely on a wise opener then what else shall i say to u. Dagger main hand requires alot more skill to pull we both agree on that, because you cant go acrobatics + trickery and play evade spec with it to do well enough for spvp on a team, so it becomes instantly more glass cannon and more skill / reaction oriented. I found s/d hotjoin spec but is the best to initiate someone to thief and spvp.
If you so wish to end this here, I was never rude to you I just disagree with your statement that d/p is the weaponset that is dominant right now on spvp, all the top teams run s/d thief BUT I agree with you that dagger mainhand is the spvp weaponset I would pick if the teamplay+individual skill level was as high as it was 1.5 year ago.
Also any time you want to see my thief skills we can 1v1, I am open for good mannered duels any time and I haven't lost any set of duels to a thief yet(apart from first 3 weeks of my break end, I was rusty as it could get).
