My thief build in Wvw
You used your armor in the wrong order: Zerker with runes of the pack for S/D and valk with strength for D/D, otherwise at least D/D is solid. If you’re D/D using hidden killer, your main source of damage are backstabs. The hidden killer gives you 100% crit chance so you don’t need zerker’s for that and since you have to be close to your opponent to cast your CnD you will likely get more damage, so some extra vitality is nice to have. S/D doesn’t rely on stealth but more on ports and sustained damage, for that zerker is the better choice.
I rarely finish my autoattack chain with my D/D backstab build as I mostly hit and run (to come back and hit again).
Edit (sorry was multitasking when writing this) : 5k backstabs against heavies who aren’t zerker’s is good, the damage only goes higher if they’re zerker themselves. As for the damage income/output ratio; well we’re thieves. Just thought about maining my ranger again until thieves will be buffed in a year or two.
