Q:

Hey guys
Quick question, do you think there is possible to build a Stealthless Thief to use a S/x?
I know it is possible if it uses P/P but there are both very diferent weapon sets so that why I’m asking this because I like Swords, but I think Swords don’t fit well in the stealth style

A:

Yes, S/D and S/P are both playable with very low or no stealth at all.
You will rely on dodging and teleporting, shortbow or even P/P as offset.

(x for wherever you wanna place the last 10 points)
x/30/x/x/30
x/30/x/30/x
0/30/0/25/15

If you aren’t a damage enthusiast
10/0/0/30/30
10/10/0/20/30
0/20/0/20/30

Runes: Runes of Lyssa.
Armor: Full Zerker, Zerker PvT mix or Zerker Valkyrie mix

Question would the x/30/x/30/x be best for mobility and decent sustained dps? Been looking at going bacl to S/D and Sb off. While running zerker/valk armor and full zerker trinks?

x/30/x/30/x with initiative on weaponswap and 2 ini/10s has great mobility, and leaves you with 10 extra spec points.

0/30/x/25/15 however has 3 extra initiative and 2 ini/10s, and initiative on steal.

Both have highest mobility depending on how you use them.

Would knights gear be a good replacement for valk pieces?

In my honest opinion, no. Knight and Cavalier will cut down on your dmg.
Only in emergency cases, I’d place a knight part in head or earrings.

You can get very well-rounded stats without them, while keeping high power.
