Decapper/skirmishing thief.

Built around traps. Ambush on 20sec cooldown, TG on 180. Improvisation has a chance to reset TG earlier, which can lead to 4-6 adds either carrying scorpion wire or unload.

Pack runes give all adds fury.
ToTC gives all adds fury.

High single target damage, was able to run zerker periodically since adds are distracting and ruin tab targeting.

Adds drop free black powder fields.

Shadow Arts can be swapped with straightline (middle) Daredevil tree for superior mobility.

Thoughts?

Glaring weaknesses?

I used to think (build op, pls nerf) like you, but then I took a nerf to the knee.

Weakness: poor mobility without SB or shadowstep. DD helps, but no teleports really hurts decap potential. Consider shadow trap if you don’t want to take SB. Interesting idea though!

The one thing our class is good at: Mobility and you have chosen to take none.

Glaring weakness: You won’t be decapping any thing.

“Built around traps” – you’ve got one trap… unless you’re counting the once every 30s on heal needle trap that does zero real damage because you’re not condi; the trap you’re taking is moderately pants imo too

In all honesty you’ve got P/P and D/P as your weapon sets. Looks to me like you’re going to be hitting unload a lot, and then getting out of there once you get attacked.

Try running it and see how you fair, but not sure I see the fun value as you appear to be trying to be the best of both worlds (ranged and close) but master of none.

My first question would “what’s your escape plan”.
