Hope it won’t happen
I get used to the build so much!
So, apparently, to be a good thief, you attack people who are running away and you blind stomp.
I mean, really, is this supposed to be impressive? It’s painfully generic. The video may as well be named “Guy uses sub-optimal weaponset, kills scrubs”. The person in the video is fighting such awesome opponents as a warrior with gs/sword sword. At pretty much no point did I not see the guy’s team behind on points if not outright dominating.
The thief is obviously skilled and uses his steal smartly, as well as avoiding damage and the like. I just think the video could have been done a lot better.

Yo! How about Hammer/LB warior, spirit ranger, trap ranger, MM necro that are supposed to be strongest builds for 1v1 while S/P build like mine was made to lock targets in teamfights.
How about engaging 1v3 without teammates around?
How about winning with 30% hp at start of the fight?
How about i couldn’t even find you in leaderboards, so i was wandering you are so good to say like that -_-
I mean no offense, but i don’t think you were even near the truth when you were writting your comment.
My build carried me from % to top100 in a moment, this is pretty much because i wasn’t playing since Leaderboards were introduced and didn’t manage to get higher.
And the only general state through all my vids is that build IS VIABLE in tpvp in any form.

Is this just your speculation? Or was this actually quoted from a dev? Honestly pistolwhip is a very very strong skill. It does a ton of damage, stuns, and evades, but I think that its a pretty balanced skill if you consider the fact that you have to be rooted for it to work. I have been running a build similar to the one on my guide, but recently ive been exploring a 10/0/0/30/30 s/p & s/p build with energy sigils and its been kinda interesting. It really really hard to kill 1v1, but im not sure its viable without the extra damage from critical strikes. I would hate to have to go back to d/p if they nerf s/p.

No, no, no. Relax. It’s speculation (satire) based on the last SotG. It’s pretty much the same quote as when they were talking about S/D with a necro warrior and a couple of other classes (no thief main represented). What’s scary is that it’s believable….

While I havn’t tried that setup you are describing I tried going 0-30-0-25-15 which also works ok, though I miss the extra steal daze when going s/p. On the other side, you get a bit more survivability with more dodges and the dmg is the same as OP build. Generally, I am not very fond of having 2x same weapon setup.

I never really understood why some people need to make these negative posts. To be frank, it comes out a little too arrogant.
Having said that, I agree that it’s a rather generic build but what isn’t nowadays, except for the occational engi or ele?? Whether it’s painful or not, on the other hand, I would say is quite subjective and likely not equivalent to the generel opinion.
I think the OP is doing a great job illustrating how to utilize the s/p weapon set. I would like to see recordings of harder fights against really good players. Me, personally, I find it hard to beat very good necros, some engis and L/h regen warriors with this build.
