(thief HoT build?)
hey guys i need help for my thief its lvl 80 with half way into elite specialization for dare devil, and i bought HoT. when it came out i came to visit and i died right away by the monsters :c i realize my thief is weaker than i thought.

What build do i need for my thief to survive?
plz help ; u ;

I played normal thief in a jungle for a while.

sword /pistol is nice enough to survive //And swipe those raptors.

Got some rooting problem but it’s fine as long as you learn enemy skills.

Rely on evade/stealth/mobility. Shortbow 5 is very helpful to move around.

Against the snares, you can use roll for initiative. Against conditions you have the heal skill that also stealths you.

Thief without vitality gear is extremely squishy, so you better don’t get hit. E.g. the hero point champ at the WP at the end of verdant brink onehits you.

My strategy for surviving in HoT is to wait until they nerf it.
It’s not a strategy that suits everyone…

It is not so much about you being weak, the new maps are about awarenes, movements, gliding (you can glide over most mobs) and understanding the mobs and what they do so you can counter. As thief you have more option then the avrage class through stealth and dodges, use this. But also be aware of that there are mobs, champs and legendary mobs that can one shot you if you are not aware of what is going on, when he casts or charge.
