I have a thief that i want to use for capping/hitting dolyaks.

I was wondering what’s the best selection of armor pieces/trinkets to get the stats I should have

Condition or Direct dmg build?
What traits do you use?
What weapons?
Do you have ascended jewelry?

The usual goal for roamers with balanced builds is 15k health, 1400 toughness, 40%+ crit chance, 80%+ crit dmg, and power as a main stat on every piece.

Except for glasscannon zerk thieves and thieves who take advantage of 100% crit chance from stealth and going with 17k+ health from plenty of valkyrie pieces.

Condtion thieves often go with full carrion, some may mix in some rabid or celestial too.

Personalize your build after what you want and where you want
to put it’s strengths and weaknesses. If you just wanna fight NPCs
and avoid players, pretty much any build would do. If you wanna just run around engaging quick 1v1 going with high damage to glass cannon might be nice,
if you wanna be prepared to fight 1v2 or 1v3, XvX or all the npcs with ease I recommend balanced builds or condition builds with carrion / rabid.

I play as a full zerker thief roamer. It’s possible, but you need to play accordingly – carefully, obnoxiously and taking advantage of everything you can. Check it out, it,s in my signature.

I was the best at burning things. Especially bosses that
didn’t move.
