LocknDog- level 80 thief
So I’ve been a theif for about 6 monthes. I love this class to death. I love the hats it gets when we have to work so hard for results. Anyhow, I LIVED for those awesome backstab and dissapearing into stealth and watching my enemy run. With the recent patch, theives have lost dagger as a viable option as a main hand it seems. It just doesn’t do damage anymore. So my question for you all, is it worth it to roll say an Ele or engi and try to move on or wait it out and play terribad condi build meta?
If you have a sustainable d/d build let me know cuz I want to relive my 9k backstabs with good sustain.
/end rant
You mean is there a class out there that gets free kills with? Aside from warrior, no it’s still thief. You just have to put slightly more effort into it, and not have 100% guaranteed results. I bet that hurts.
Naw. Dagger main hand still does plenty of dmg, you just need to change your build. Runes of strength, combined with orrian truffle &meat stew, power of inertia, SA 25, and a superior sigil of strength mean im almost constantly sitting at 25 stacks of might. You can actually do more dmg than you were pre patch
This is my build:
I use infiltrator runes cus they’re cheap, extra precision, and I can double cloak if I’m low hp :P gives me like 8 seconds of stealth.
Dagger mainhand is still plenty strong, especially with revealed training build. You just have to use more damage based gear. I used to use cavalier so I had about 2.7k armor, now I only use cavalier chest and backpiece for 2.4k armor. Because of the nerf I can survive better with less armor.

Yeah, reroll… u will find that other classes are more fun and useful
