What is pvp meta for thieves atm?
Judging by how slow the forums are atm, I’m not sure people really play thief right now. You probably can’t go too far wrong with air and rage on D/P, Trickery with flanking strikes and trickster and 1-3-2 in daredevil, since thief seems to be about decaps and using pulmonary impact procs and autos with quickness for burst atm. I personally like critical strikes with invigorating precision for the last spec, the extra healing can be pretty nice. Honestly though, every time I’ve played thief recently I’ve wondered why I didn’t bring scrapper, and that sentiment is killing the game for me right now.
Don’t follow me, unless you enjoy being chased by angry men with sticks.

Thanks, I specd that with the mauraders ammulet and different utilis. Won 12 out of 15 games in ranked so far. Pretty stoked with this new daredevil trait line, it’s strong to say the least.

Yea, I still don’t like staff, but the DD line overall is pretty great for D/P. Dash is particularly great with so many necros around spamming chill.
There are some other good utilities that work with this build (I ran Shadows Refuge and Inf Sig for a long time), but once you get back in the flow of things and more used to the build, I’d recommend giving these utilities another look. Once you get used to using them in the right situations, I think you’ll find that they’re pretty good for the current meta.
Shadowstep and signet of agility are kinda mandatory, but the third slot is very customizable.
Black powder, bandit’s defense, shadow refuge, infiltrator signet, Roll for initiative, the new dagger throw that inflict slows, even shadowtrap
All of those have seen usage in the last months.
