Is d/d thief good in pve, and why?
d/d is fine for pve since you can easily stealth up with d5 and get the backstab bonus damage. I personally play staff (good damage and for the lulz)
D/D is great for PvE it gives you quiet a few options to use the more prominent ones are Power builds or you can go Condi
I go D/D condi, If you have sigil of stanima with a perm dodge build you can melt anything in the game solo
All the dodge!
^ what he said. Something along these lines:
There are other versions.
One time I ran No weapons and relied on the utilities and timed dodges to stay alive. It went great in PvE. If the mobs started to kill me I just ran away and didn’t fight them because there wasn’t really a point, they would just come back later. And if it was a quest I needed I decided that there wasn’t really a point getting all wound up because it was a bunch of ones and zeroes anyways. #FirstWorldPvEProblems

I’ve been running my D/D Thief and he does fine in open areas.
A few issues arise when you are in a confined space or when you are taking on bossses (I die alot of bosses) but that’s seems to be the mold for “rogue” type builds.
