Staff or D/D for Fractals/raids
If you stay with a power build, I’d say to go with staff. Even if you edge out slightly more DPS using D/D in any situation, the cleave and blinds from staff can make up for it.
Even if there was any slight advantage to D/D in some cases, there’s still plenty of vids showing thieves doing no glide Gorseval kills using staff, so I’d say you’ll be fine without D/D.
Staff can be used and situational more damage, a big drawback is most skills are movement skills and don’t benefit from quickness as much as D/D.
Staff, definitely.
Staff can clear mobs faster than D/D can. That’s really the only reason you should know when choosing between the two.

staff stacks vulnerability, if your team doesn’t already have it capped. That alone makes it way better
but if your team does have it capped, D/D is slightly better single target dps, for way less AoE
so yeah I’d always pick staff
