Hey guys, recently I have been having trouble dishing out enough damage to kill some players and have been getting killed by everyone too. The picture attached shows the Stats of my Thief and below are my Traits:
———————
Deadly Arts 0
Critical Strikes 30
Furious Retaliation – Signets of Power – Executioner
Shadow Arts 20
Cloaked in Shadow – Hidden Thief
Acrobatics 20
Fleet Shadow – Assassin’s Reward
Trickery 0
———————
I commonly use a D/P + P/P combo, and I’d really appreciate some advice on what I should do with my stats.
Please don’t say for me to get full Berserker’s gear, that is exactly what I am trying to stay away from. I am trying to actually survive with my Thief while still putting out damage.
EDIT: Edited the Traits, they were not correct.

You still seem to have a lot of blue and green stuff.
18k hp seems like a lot for a thief, your survivability should rely on stealth and mobility, not stats.
I don’t use P/P for pvp myself, but I hear the damage isn’t that good.
Consider a condition build if you want survivability for prolonged 1v1 fights.

Why you only have 60 trait points spent?

If you want to deal high damage while still have some defensive stats, try knight gear. It has power+precision+toughness, but it will dumb down your crit damage.

Sea of Sorrow since BWE.

The problem with that is then I will not have enough Vitality to survive conditions from Shortbow Rangers and Necromancers.

If you try to do everything at once, which clearly you are, you’ll have problems. You need to know when you should accept a particular weakness in your character, or even use skills or traits to offset it. Stealth, dodging, Blindness and Crippled go a very long way toward improving your ability to survive even without stacking defensive stats.
And you do have plenty of Blindness to inflict with those weapon choices.
