I’ve been running a Dire condi-trapper build, and have had mixed success.

I’m running DA/SA/T with Hide in Shadows (Trapper’s Respite), Needle Trap, Ambush, and Shadow Refuge. D/P with SB.

Are those utilities the best for stealth uptime along with damage? If so, what’s the best skill rotation to keep myself stealthed?

Should I give up stealth in order to use weapon skills and interrupts (Pressure Striking)?

Or is a power build the way to go with Trapper runes? Thanks! :-D

Suggestions to overhaul the Thief…

I’m not an expert on the spec but you definitely need SOME Power. Carrion/Rampager/Sinister are much more well suited than Dire.

I was the OP for the backstab trapper build. Not sure who made the condi ghost build. They both have pros and cons that go back to burst vs sustain dmg. If you like burst, go for the power, if you like pure sustain go for condi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpiAUU9b3Ew link to my videos with build link in description.
