A interesting idea I spec’d into after talking to a “pro” thief.

Deadly Arts: 15 (Potent Poison,) (NOTE-I may be changing this to 10)
Critical Strikes: 30 (Signets of Power, Signet Use, Executioner)
Shadow Arts: 0
Acrobatics: 25 (Power of Inertia, Assassin’s Reward) (NOTE-I may be changing this to 30 to trait Hard to Catch)

Weapon Set: D/D, S/P (the S/P is there for Pistol Whip spams which are pretty bad kitten with SoM and without exotic armor/weapons is criting for 5k dmg…before I got my Emerald Ori insert accessory name of the Berserker which gives me +15% crit dmg).

Skills: Signet of Malice, Signet of Shadows, Assassin’s Signet, Haste, Dagger Storm

The general idea is to constantly be rolling around, use power of inertia to give you might, get into battle and spam the crap out of DB or Heartseeker. Make sure you’re still rolling around and when you completely run dry on initiative AND stamina you pop all your signets but SoM (you should have +10-15 might now) and then use haste followed by spamming DB, HS or using DS.

When done correctly you will deal massive amounts of damage while SoM and Assassin’s Reward make sure it takes a good 8-12 mobs to kill you (which should NEVER happen if you’re paying attention to your health and the mobs around you)…heck if you pop Haste and DS even 8-12 mobs won’t be able to kill you until DS ends…you’ll regenerate well over 16k health (I currently do this in Cursed Shore for karma/event farming and 15 mobs can’t even touch my health until DS end at which point I have to run like hell because I just collected all the agro).

I use gear focused on Power, Percision and Toughness to do this.
My armor isn’t pimped out (yet) and my weapons are decent so the only stuff I have that’s exotic are my accessories (which hare all Emerald Orichalcum “insert accessory piece” of the Knight-changed to berserker recently for the power boost and crit dmg boost since it was only +15 toughness x5)
