Thief Tips
Speaking generally…
You have a few options…
Condi builds.
or
Pure damage builds.
Then you pick roaming or zerging (getting melted).
Pure damage builds used to be either full zerker or mixed with knights/soldiers/valk…
There’s also in “interesting” build post-patch and pure damage, a few posts lower on the first page…

Condi on the other hand… dire gear set, p/d… and traits something like x/x/M/N/x (where M and N are your main trait lines). You basically can allow your self to be tanky while doing damage through conditions (build i run relies heavily on bleeds and covering them up via venoms/torment).
Zerging wise, really anything goes. the thief isnt exactly zerging material to being with … Some neatness, though, in zergs would be Signet of Malice and Dagger Storm or even cluster bomb spam (AA is decent too on shortbow for SoM)… ;P no matter what you build for zerging you’re going to get melted.
I think post-patch builds are still settling in, as people are experimenting the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of going full glass vs other builds…
:P Really haven’t played in a while tbh, exam time, project deadlines… other kitten. Also kind of trying to get to gold on league…
