hello, i’m posting because i’m wondering about different playstyles as a thief in spvp.
what i really like to do as a thief is be able to move around quickly and do some damage at the same time while evading enemy attacks. that’s my type of playstyle for my thief, i like to think of is as being an acrobat. the way i’m able to evade an enemy or multiple enemies, and dance around them while they have trouble trying to hit me is amazing and i absoultely love it. but i feel like i’m not doing something correctly… lately i’ve just been going up against a lot of glass cannons, and there’s not much i can do until they finally catch me, or i just run out of utilities and such… damage seems to be a bit of a problem as well. I’m looking for advice on how someone could play D/P effectively, even though people are saying it’s one of the worst setups around. For me, i can’t live without the pistol interrupt, or shadow shot… and black powder is pretty amazing. But i still feel like i’m playing it wrong, and i absolutely refuse to play that backstab insta-gib spec every thief runs around with now. Can i get any advice on how to play D/P properly?

looking around for different D/P builds:

Working on an updated video and should have it up either later today or tomorrow.
Only thing i have really changed gear wise is I have taken to running the short bow instead of Dagger / Pistol
