Just had my kitten handed to me by a D/D backstab/stealth thief several times and was amazed by how effective it is…

Anyone know the build? is it a common build?
All zerker? Scholar runes?

d/d backstab is a common build for thieves. people sometimes use rune of the traveler for movement speed, so they can take blinding powder istead of wasting a util of signet of the shadows, the other option is to use runes of divinity and take signet of shadows in place of blinding powder

Probably.

10/30/30/0/0

or

0/30/30/10/0 are by far the most popular.

How much Zerker gear you want depends on you. You can go anywhere from full Zerker to full Valkyrie. The difference is roughly 3000 HP vs. 15% Crit-Chance.

I was having fun with this one in spvp about 3 hours ago.

It can get across the map quite quickly because of the 15 trickery, popping signets returns some ini which provides you with the required ini for the spike after spamming a lot of infiltrators arrow. Time things right, have good team members who mark who needs to go down, this helps really good especially when fighting pve zoo-builds when it’s hard to find targets. And be highly evasive, don’t enter fights unless you are sure you can get away. Happy hunting!

If it was WvW, probably the common 10/30/30/0/0 & 0/30/30/10/0.

I’m curious to know, why the 10 points in acrobatics? Personally I use 10 in trickery for long reach on steal, as this helps tremendously with gap closing. What is the adept trait that people commonly use in that line?

The 10 points on acrobatics is used for reduce damage on fall or vigor on heal if using withdraw.

I like to run

and switch to signet of shadow when out of combat.

I actually use the 50% run-speed while in stealth. It really helps with Backstabbing classes who have Swiftness.

I also dislike Mug because I can’t use Steal without damaging the target. Sometimes it’s nice to use it as a gap-closer and the follow up with a Backstab.
