Hey guys, I’m running a D/D death blossom condition build and I’m loving it, it’s great fun and the mobility is crazy high however, I don’t know what to use for my secondary weapon/ranged. I’m always using D/D and always right in the battle, so I wanna know which range weapon I should use. Also I don’t want skills that waste too much initiative because this build is built on death blossom. Another note, I am using SoM so that might change some things.

Here’s my build, I’m using Dire gear for a condition, dodge/tank build and ?+Rabid gear (whatever that means?)

I run D/D SB in PvE, on dungeons i change to S/D, S/P, but i always have my SB on the 2nd loadout.

I have 5 classes, and SB for thief IMO is the best utility weapon in-game.
You have an “AoE” AA, another AoE with blast finisher, evade attack, a wide combo field, and the best teleport skill in-game.

If you go S/x, have a P/P can be good though.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll surely be looking towards a SB.
Yeah I suppose the AOE is helpful but then again, I’m most likely using my D/D and I barely switch out

Short-bow is our only mainhand range weapon. :o Just pretend P/P doesn’t exist, and P/D is practually a melee set.
