Hi guys I wanted to ask you questions about the thief … today happened to me a very strange thing, when I was a thief SPvP appeared behind me and killed me (crit 16/17k) as you can? know this build?
Thrill of the crime + Assassin’s signet + backstab on full berserker gear will yield those results. Keep moving around, a backstab is really hard to land on players that never stand still.
Im a thief and I do this all the time, I can post few screenshots from last night’s pvp session. Basilisc venom > Cloak and Dagger mid cast Steal> backstab with Assassin Signet > stomp Or any other similar combo. Instead of Steal you can use Shadow Step but steal itslef hits for 2-3k if you specced for it. SO as you can see, it’s not nearly as one shot, because you need to spec all your traits just for this combo, that is self buff with might just for that single BS and invole any possible way of spike dmg in 1sec.
TO all the qq ppl, that is a combo you CANT do more often than around 40seconds, you don’t have ANY def stats, and the build is focused just around this SINGLE combo. During the rest of the time you just a regular glass cannon thief.
Emnity and what do you use to set? I use the rune of superior scholar and arms I put 5% damage.
About whether use: 25 (Deadly Arts) 30 (critical strike) 5 (acrobatics) 10 (trickery)
Deadly Arts: Mug, dagger training
Critical Strike: Strike Side, signet of power, Execuneer
Trickery: Thrill of crime.
My skills are Hide in Shadows, Shadowstep, Haste and Basilisk Venom.
in this setting that I never got used to do 16k crit is really impossible

I’m assuming you left assassin’s signet out because you thought it was obvious. If you really want you can take more signets for more might stacks. The biggest hits are also reliant on your target being somewhat squishy themselves.
I use 30(3,4,9)/30(2,8,12)/0/0/10(4). Scholar set, +5%dmg and sigil of Air (it procs often for good dmg, and is very sexy when it does during backstab) Skills are basi venom/assassin signet/signet of shadow/shadow refuge I will try posting some screenshots later if I am not lazy. Thing is so far I think ive hit around 15k backstabs, but Im usually around 12-14k. I’m talking just the stab, because the whole spike dmg in the combo involves steal and CnD too for the dmg. As you can see my build is just for single target burst during the time the target is turned into stone. Ive managed to instagib guardians and wariors but I guess they didn’t invest in alot defense. All the other classes are pretty much dead if you pull this off.
