This isn’t anything new. I’ve tried a ton of builds since patch. I always played burst thief before. Just wanted to post what I’m playing with. Been doing a lot of stronghold recently cause it’s fresh. Mainly do unranked matches these days tho.

So yea it’s full burst and I die to like 2 auto attacks but I just don’t let people hit me much.

I use inf signet offensively or to secure a stomp. Very rarely defensively. I basically just burst and then dip out and burst again. Maybe dump few hs or autos depending on result of burst. The mili second I realize anyone is hitting me at all I shadow step away and drop refuge or bp/hs. Depending on how hard I am being focus. I use his to drop those 5 stacks of burning that can down thief from 100-0.

It’s a very in and out kind of play style. If my CDs are down I play defensively with sb until they are back up.

While I still agree all classes are now better than a thief I just like this class better and don’t really have fun playing them as much as thief.

I don’t wvw at all anymore…

Just another noob thief…

Just wanted to add. I never try to burst someone who is in the middle of a ton of aoe.

Only burst targets off to the side or a spot you can avoid that cleave…

Fairly easy to do in stronghold. Harder in conquest.

Since stronghold have been using the same build pretty much, I disagree with thieves being bottem tier. Any type of condi damage or focus means death in conquest though.
