Hello , I currently experiment with this build for PVE only with D/D , Shortbow and S/P for tanking. Till now I had no problems (my thief is sylvari) , and kept a balance between condition and power. I would like to ask about your ideas for this build , what modifications i could try so i’m ready to step into Orr ( I start saving for a legendary and as a slow farmer i can’t waste money left and right).

i don’t belive you need 15 points in trickery… maximum initiative since you want constant damage for farm not burst
as well… your critical looks poor, and you got dagger damage trait , wich you use only on 1 weapon set out of 3

Mug might be better than potent poison. Shadow refuge is better as a group skill and maybe it is a bit of a crutch in solo play. I doubt if you’re getting value from fleet shadow so maybe use signet of shadows and try out vigour on healing. When using sword/dagger you could trait for cloaked in shadow and assassins reward and give that a try. Smokescreen is worth looking at before you go into dungeons, particularly with dagger/dagger.

I wouldn’t bother saving for a legendary yet. It’s not something you can force to happen in a reasonable amount of time. Spend your coins now on what you need now.
