I love my reaper, diving into 10 enemies in HoT maps in full zerk gear and be reasonably certain I’ll wipe them all out without much problems even if I take heavy Pressure. I love that bruiser build play style where I’m not necessarily tanks per se but I have ways of mitigating damage (reaper shroud and my shouts in reaper’s case). Reaper unfortunately is designed to be fairly immobile so that’s a little meh. So I’m working to 80 my thief for fun.

I’m wondering if daredevil can do something similar with staff? Obviously they don’t have reaper shroud but they have a ton of gap closers and evades. Is a similar playstyle possible? Or do I have to do the “take out one guy and stealth to de aggro, then do it again and again!”

i dont thnk so. you’re a full if you think relying on vualt/bound spam will work. I see a lot of thieves fail at this in pvp ( i know its not pve) all the time you mindlessly spam you are wasting recourse’s for an escape root if something kitten goes wrong (initiative and endurance). great if you can kill them in time but i dont think thats the kind of approach staff was meant for :p
