Someone on my build thread asked me to make a video, so i compiled a few hours worth of fighting into what i think shows off how well the build is for roaming, both DPS wise, and survivability wise through the stealth.

My build is almost exactly how it is described in the build thread except i switched to 20/20/30, and picked up greatsword mastery, and from dueling line dropped DE and switched long range manipulations for phants with fury, and switched between blink and veil.

I hope you enjoy!

I tried to find good footage of some 1v1-3s and put the more interesting fights in the beginning of the video, starting around 18:50 i have some really quick battles that show how insane the burst of this build is, even with 30 in chaos.

What do you all think?

Would suggest using a staff instead of GS for this, works much better

Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.

I would have to disagree; this is primarily a phantasm build with stealth as extra defense, losing out on the Izerker and the might the gsword brings would decrease my dps dramatically. The staff does work well in many of the variants of 20/20/30 as a defensive weapon, but the idea of this build is to melt the enemy as fast as possible, and it has some pretty good killing power so i almost never miss the defense, (and if there is a large group of people coming to attack me i can just stealth and get away without any trouble.

If i used staff, then i would most likely want to switch pistol for torch and grab the torch cooldown over the gsword cooldown, and then i might as well just roll a condition build, which albeit great, doesnt have the burst potential this build has.
