Staff Daredevil Does MASSIVE BURST DAMAGE in Guild Wars 2 WvW

Staff Daredevil is an underrated build for thief in GW2 WvW and despite being risky and sometimes clunky, it can provide some fun gameplay that allows you to break through the tanky Guild Wars 2 meta with burst damage and boon rip. Seeing big crits on your screen triggers inner monke.
For more information read below:
With Critical Strikes, you can dish out huge crits with the staff skill Vault, and using this with the boon rip from Steal can greatly reduce the time to kill tanky enemies stocked with plenty of boons. Although it can be risky and clunky sometimes, this build is a lot of fun when given support although you can vary the build to adapt to different situations, check the variants in the build page.

I love staff DD so much, thanks for putting it in the spotlight a bit. I definitely think it has it's place in WvW outside of GvGs, it's so good at finishing downs and helping with that initial melee spike.

[@drolzak7]

I have been maining daredevil staff for 2 years now, and it's safe to say that it's still my favourite playstyle atm, love the ability to dodge 5 times in a row. Together with the Relic of Isgarren, this playstyle has been given an upgrade as well.

[@Reirakiyo]

This looks so much fun! (Also the music is slapping )

[@timberrecycling]

this is the zany stuff that makes me love the game. your content is great!!

[@Kuhmuhnistische_Partei]

Uhh, I see double staff thief and I like it. A double staff perma-evade (the evades of staff + Withdraw + Roll for Initiative + Dagger storm) thief was basically my main wvw char for a while. But as a roamer, not zerg fights. It was always kinda cheap I guess, but it just was so much fun to play.

[@Nitidus]

Nicht dein Ernst... Seit Jahren lese ich deine Kommentare unter Kanälen, die ich gucke (der Name bleibt halt hängen 😁), ursprünglich glaube ich bei Tante Günna - und jetzt tauchst du auch noch "am anderen Ende des Internets" auf und schreibst was zu meiner Main-Klasse in GW2! Am Ende bist du mein verschollener Zwilling oder so...

[@Osmosis909]

I'm pretty sure, if I vaulted straight into the zergs on my server, I would instantly melt. I mean, milliseconds.

[@gusblacksmith9]

I'm trying the build and just realized something. You'd often have two different sets of weapons with most classes so you can swap them and keep attacking while your first set is on cooldown, right. With Thief that's just goes out the window, cause you use initiative instead of cooldowns... so basically you get the benefit of different sigils on the same weapon, or sigils that proc when you switch sets (but same weapon) without waiting on any cooldowns. mind=blown!

[@tadeasprikryl2407]

love this!

[@JenPlaysGG]

The mechanist at 6:16 lmao

[@poring186]

such a great fun!

[@fo0liner1985]

that looks insanely fun tbh

[@Tevesh42]

Seconding the praise for the music, I would appreciate the playlist!

[@Vallun]

search for Artzie music SQUAD GOALS

[@l1ttlemyu]

truly this is the drunken master

[@Alex-wg7gt]

Damn nice damage!

[@Rambow808]

I like the music

[@xxxx-jz9xp]

Mind if i get the name of the music playing in the vid?

[@kahnjugaming]

This is Vallun. Don't forget. 😂

[@lasthope703]

Nice to see a staff theif player. Very rare post

[@DeathbySnuhSnuh]

He zergs around like a poledance master himself

[@defxpooh]

The music is so good .. again Ooh I can feel the burst from here too. Nice video!

[@Bardish]

Bro its impressive, it really is, but you can do similar thing with reaper with like 1/10th the skill / number of buttons.

[@dinmadaniel9830]

hi vallun huge watcher of your content :)....I'm new to mmo's in general so I wanted to ask how you move like that with non action camera cause if i try to do it i mash buttons and screw things so any tip or advice would be appreciated.

[@Vallun]

i have a video called top 5 tips to improve mobility

[@emanate0]

its all about that de staff. the offensive boon support is top tier. btw what server you on? im on dr and wondering if i've ever seen you without knowing it

[@Vallun]

sea of sorrows usually

[@Theuubestofbuus]

I was just asking in the comment section on Jen's page about a video ( I may have watched your video from 2 years ago, a little too much😅)

[@Vallun]

I've been thinking to do this video for a while, but that comment helped me to finally decide to work on it xD

[@jdgoesham5381]

It's not a bad build and pretty fun but when it's laggy it can be annoying trying to land where you want to with much precision. I def can't play this on my EU account(I'm from the NE of the US)but on my NA account if you're not fighting a huge map queue boon blob you can clap with it. Sometimes you can throw in a Scorp Wire for some fun little wombo combos(figure them out your own though it's obvious the best combos to pull off with it)but if someone does it to me I'm hunting you :)

[@Theuubestofbuus]

Thoes new changes to Staff on 28th Bountiful Theft: This trait now grants additional might to allies when stealing from a target with no boons Debilitating Arc: This skill now grants access to Helmet Breaker for a duration of time. Helmet Breaker: Leap at your foe, dealing damage and inflicting the dazed effect.  Dust Strike: This skill now reflects projectiles and strikes foes in a circular area instead of in a frontal cone.

[@jdgoesham5381]

I've been holding off from reading all the notes till I have the time but those sound nice. I'll still prob mostly play S/D thief and DD but I can see myself using staff more in the coming future. I wish they would cut down on the staff 5 skill lag just a tiny bit. If your ping is 100+ or your fighting a map queue sized boon blob with siege all over it can be tough to be accurate with it. Which is why I don't really play with staff much. Thanks for posting that btw. GLHF

[@ArtRyd]

Its one of my builds too on WvW for a wile, ppl never knows how powerful a simple 4 key Build can be xD Its can Crit regulars 10k or 19k ez mode 🤣🤣

[@SoulRollerFIN]

Man... wish I could get more than 30 fps in zergs.

[@Vallun]

i dont think many people can lmao

[@tornadofist08]

I love daredevil but in zergs compared to a berserker, holosmith, vindicator this build hits like a wet noodle...

[@fresnel5594]

bro didnt make it 2 seconds into the vid

[@embreis2257]

sometimes I believe Vallun could go into WvW naked and beat the shit out of enemy players. he is that good. for mere mortals this could go south pretty damn quick. last time I ventured into WvW as a Daredevil with a staff was before release of PoF...

[@maggyinahat]

Important to note is that Vallun plays the shit out of this game and you're not going to do as well as him 90% of the time.

[@FolliAF]

Isnt this just the original version of the new vindi? Lol. Except vindi can give boons and leave trails and such for more dps. Plus vigor.

[@Vallun]

can vindi teleport though? wait... it can :(

[@FolliAF]

@@Vallun shiro... harder to get out, but sadly there is a reason staff thief isn't a thing currently.

[@TheHyBriD3I6]

Looks nice as a pug build but it will not be accepted by many organized zerg raid groups. To much mobility , not enought extra value, besides damage, added to the group. Lets hope the axe will have more aoe.

[@andreavasile6388]

Axe?

[@alkaid5756]

Theif gets axe in second half of SoTO
