There are links to a couple threads that contain S/D builds. I didn’t do an exhaustive search, but there’s quite a few threads like these. Not to mention the official “Post Your Build Here” thread pinned at the top of the Thief forums.
Brought to you by ArenaNet. Soon™.
There’s quite a few variants floating around, iNaddict, most of which are pretty standard(ish) for someone familiar with the Thief.
Some of the builds I’ve used for S/D:
0/30/30/10/0 (CnD + Steal → TS → FS )
0/30/10/15/15 (IS → FS → recall / rinse+repeat)
10/20/30/10/0 (CnD + Steal → TS → FS )
10/30/0/0/30 (IS + Steal → (full AA chain) → recall)
I’d strongly suggest just diving into the set head-first, it’s a very strong and straight forward set.
Not to mention (unless they ninja-patched it since 4/4) the recall on #2 ignores the pathing restrictions normally associated with teleports.
Easiest example would be the Borderland “ruined fort” due north of the Champion’s Demense/Victor’s/Hero’s Lodge supply camp- while standing dead-centered on top of the archway above the stairs, pop IS without a target, run down and across the bridge and as you get to the gate of the SW tower pop recall- when I was testing it, it would recall me to the original location.
There’s plenty more, but I’m not going to rob you of the thrill of discovery. :P
