Q:

Hello!

So before the AA buffs to thief I was aware that they were not wanted in most pve content (fractals/raids), is that still the case?

I’ve yet to equip my thief with the ascended gear and accessories that I want. If thief is still considered bad then I don’t want to invest in it. What are your opinions?

A:

Yes, it’s viable. There hasn’t really been any solid comparison of how it performs vs other dps specs though and people are advocating all sorts of combinations for ‘best dps’. Some people are arguing staff with WS. Some people say to use vault. Some say that you should pick up Trickery over DA and just AA instead. Some people argue dagger over staff and some have argued to go base thief with D/D using DA/CS/Tr for a straight AA rotation.

Honestly, I’d love to see some decent proof to back up some of these claims. Hell, I just wish it was possible to get full raid buffs in the mists so that I could compare them myself.

D/D and Staff are arguably the best staff is better in more situations.
