This is a fun build for WvWvW and PVE. It's in honor for one of my favorite League of Legends Champions, Miss Fortune. As melee thieves deal massive damage, I believe a ranged thief can still hit as hard. Main weapons of course are Dual Pistols (Shock and Awe hehe) and Short Bow to spam the AOE conditions.
Weapon Set:
Primary: Dual Pistols
Secondary: Short Bow
Healing, Utility, and Elite Skills:
Healing:
(6) Signet of Malice
I find as range, you won't stealth as much compared to melee. And the passive here helps with survival as you will be on the offensive often.
Utility:
(v1.0 - Previous build was signet heavy. Even though it provided great offensive power, the cool downs were a little too high for my preference.)
(8) Skale Venom - A very useful condition inflictor. Its used in conjunction with the Venomous Strength trait.
(9) Caltrops - This is really helpful keeping your distance between enemies or slowing them down if you need a means of an escape.
Elite:
(0) Dagger Storm - This provides great damage and can be used to escaped if you're cornered or surrounded.
Traits: This is a 20/30/0/0/20 build as you'll get good damage for power and conditions and high crit.
Deadly Arts:
(I) Venomous Strength - Whenever you use Skale Venom, you get 2 stacks of Might. That's a great way to increase for your fire power, and can make skills like Unload deal massive damage.
(X) Combined Training - Increase the damage output of Unload, Black Powder and Head Shot.
Critical Strikes:
(VI) Executioner - Great damage booster when finishing off an enemy
(X) Pistol Mastery - Since, you'll main dual pistols, the 5% added damage is a plus.
(XI) Ankle Shots - With max points in Critical Strikes, you'll have a good change to apply that cripple and maintain your distance.
Trickery:
Two options for Adept Trait:
Option 1:
(III) Uncatchable - Choose this if you want to have a better chance in surviving and keeping your distance. This also fits with the theme.
Option 2:
(V) Thrill of the Crime - Steal away! The boons you get gives you a great advantage.
Two options for the Master Trait:
Option 1:
(VII) Bountiful Theft - Again, steal away! This provides you and your allies some survival boons.
Option 2:
(X) Ricochet - This fits more for with the theme and if you want to be more offensive.
Aww no Short bow love? Well, this is a themed build, and to be used as a secondary. Don't get me wrong the short bow provides great ranged offense and defense powers as well. You have 3 AOE attacks with Trick Shot, Cluster Bomb and Choking Gas, a damaging evading/escaping skill Disabling Shot and Infiltrator's Shots can be used as an initiator, a gap closer, or provide another way to evade/escape. This along with dual pistols should keep you at bay with your enemies.
Overall, this is a great range offensive build as you can carry your allies to victory with some shock and awe!
