Thieves look pretty doomed for now, but there will still be viable builds out there.
We can’t know for sure how well we will compete with other classes after the Dec 10th changes yet, we can only expect things, calculate and speculate.
I created this thread for all who doesn’t want to give up their favourite class and adapt to other classes who can do things just as good or better than thief and still remain viable in terms of damage, mobility and survival.
The main purpose is to discuss and share builds. I’ll fill up with builds below, but I will need some help from the rest of the community.
So let’s do what we thieves do best.. Adapt to other builds if necessary.
Include a basic description and whether it gets touched by the patch or not.
No requirement on gear setups. PvT & Berserker in the right slots is known to increase EHP and EP efficiently, full berserker and valkyrie obviously has highest damage output with dimishing returns on defence, knight and cavalier is known to lower power for more precision and critical damage while gaining high toughness. And with condition and hybrid builds we have carrion, celestial, rabid and dire to play around with, maybe even shaman and other alternatives will be more used after the patch.
