20/30/0/20/0 cantrip centered build is what I had the most success with.

But all my S/D builds had consistent trouble against any any decent heavies (warriors/guardians) with reasonable damage and defense. I’ve played a lot of S/D and experimented with a number of good setups that at least work in teams but couldn’t really overcome the inherent lack of defensive skills that both D/D and staff have on their sets. This makes heavies much more difficult for S/D, while thieves and squishy classes/builds are often much easier.
