So to you pro D/D users out there, any tips on how to fight S/D acro thieves?
Timing timing and more timing.
Learn the animations and when to strike.
Cast CnD when you see the flanking strike animation. It should hit immediatly after you got hit by flanking strike. Both have 1/2 sec cast/animation time. Worked fine for me so far, but I fought only bad s/d thieves with d/d.

Basically there is a short period of time after their flanking strike where the game will not let them evade even if they have endurance. Most evasive skills have this period, so you just need to learn to time a cnd to hit exactly then. I use that a lot when I fight amon, but its pretty hard to land sometimes.
You can also fake a cloak and dagger, by pressing cloak and dagger and then a binded key to stow your weapon (Neat trick). This usually makes players waste dodges like crazy if you do it well enough, and it’s also handy to cancel a cloak and dagger that would get blinded, evaded, or blocked.
If this seems too hard though, you could just pickup d/p like most thieves and blind spam to win Hope my advice helped(:

Awesome advice thanks. I’m definitely going to try that stow weapon trick!
BTW, how is D/D doing nowadays, against other thief builds and other classes? I’ve seen this vid and got REALLY impressed.

D/D is really inferior to d/p unless youre really good with the stow weapon trick and landing CnD

lol dats my vid glad you liked. D/D just faster paced and more fun than d/p imo. Much stronger vs interupt builds as well. Just a lot harder to play, so not many thieves use it.

Yeah D/D is definitely much less forgiving, but I’m determined to get good with it! And yeah I personally don’t like d/p. D/D is just more fun for me
