I’m pretty new to the class (played it before, but deleted it, dunn why) and now i’ve decided to give it another go.
If you can help me improve this build, or any sugestions it would be apreciated. thanks in advance.
My head hurts trying to figure this out so tell me what it’s for first (pvp pve?). Basic suggestions are to drop improvisation for executioner in 30 crit strikes and don’t bother too much with condition damage (thief cannot be hybrid)—just take +10% pistol damage and p/d hits very hard, the dual skill especially.
Inf signet seems very out of place as does skale venom.. You need defensive options like shadow step or refuge in there
Edit: I think you are aiming for the ability to “condi burst” out of stealth with the pistol. This is generally a bad idea with the build you have because you do not benefit in any way from being in stealth—you have no shadow arts—and everybody is going to have enough cleanse for anything less than a dedicated condi thief that can reapply bleeds extremely often over a very extended fight.
Because thief really has no attacks that deal both types of damage… you are either doing a weak power based attack or a weak condi based attack if you go hybrid.
Classes like warrior/engineer have traits that give them additional bleeds/burns etc when they crit giving them true hybrid attacks and a stat (precision) that boosts both types of damage.
In dungeons conditions are not viable at all because a mob can only have 25 stacks of bleed… anything else from teammates is wasted
Edit(again): p/d is interesting because it seems hybrid but you end up getting more damage overall by skewing one way or the other… it’s not like the bleed/torment completely disappear if you go power or vice versa.
