Damage?
A bit of input.
I have an 80 thief wearing Valkyrie Armour with runes of Vampirism. Trinkets are all zerk, weapons (daggers) are also zerk. I am not traited as glass canon (15 trickery, 20 in vitality, and I can’t remember the rest, should be something like 20 in precision and the rest in power). Normal attack is 700 – 9xx. I crit for around 5k.
So yes, you can do a lot better than that. With thieves and with any class for that matter, it’s fundamental to try stuff out and see how much power and critical chance and critical damage you can get by without being dead 50% of the time. Experiment more!
The mists gives you free armor and weapons and you can retrait as much as you want. Use the golems for the numbers. Once you find something nice (don’t directly go into glass canon), buy some rares and see how you do in dungeons and tweak your build.
EDIT: It could be faster if you could just post your build.

Also this topic should go on the thieves sub forum, you’ll get a lot more help there.

I’m thinking you’re in greens/blues. Upgrading to exotics will give you a big damage increase
