I remember before S/D became really popular, just before the #3 upgrade to LS, there was a somewhat ‘meta’ build among some really good thieves. (Ho Nutha Levul is the thief that I learned this build from). With the new strength runes and strength sigil, I’m wondering if this is possible again.

The build relies upon stealthing, dodging, and the strength sigil for high might stacks. The gameplay is pretty simple…CnD to daze, autoattack for a chain, repeat occasionally throwing in a #3 to evade.

Can this build work? Any thoughts?

Also, if a sigil of paralyzation is used instead of an accuracy sigil, is the daze duration increased or not?

just fyi, that build was never “meta,” among any good thieves. Ever.

Eh, I’d beg to differ. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Ho Nutha ran it for quite awhile and he was constantly talked about at the windmill among top duelists.

What are your thoughts on the build?

By the way I often watch your stream and I quite enjoy your gameplay. Keep it up!

Shockingly I agree with Reikou. This build was never “meta” it might of been used a little bit but in all honesty that build isnt even that good.

Honestly, the build sucks. You’d have to be pretty good to get a kill or two with it- is that what you mean by “really good thieves”?
