Daredevil is brainless (like old Acro) if all you did was spam evades. Against competent players, this hardly works in the Thief’s favor. I don’t really see your point as basically any build can be played mindlessly to some effect against people who don’t know how to fight it.
^ This so much.
Yeah bro I use d/p with staff AND i use acro (acro/trickery/daredevil) and i do pretty well. deadly arts does do a bit more damage but you sacrifice survivability in my opinion.The only thing I would like as a thief is a bit more condi removal- I think the #3 daredevil skill should remove all condis instead of just cripple. anyway, my 2 cents.
Daredevil has the skill level of a potato, sure it was fun at launch dodging around and even playing S/D again, great. But now a month on? It’s so boring, it has no depth and real skill.
Bound means means that D/P thieves can now stealth so easily without having to ever worry about CC
8/12 traits are related to dodging
You can perma dodge so easily with the right build
Dodge does everything, healing, damage, combos, condi clear and oh and whats that…. Oh yeah evades of course! Remember when you had to use other skills to do this? No you probably lost too many brain cells playing Daredevil to remember that.
Staff, not any good? Give it moar evades and moar damage cuz u kno thats gud ye?
You like your steal? Well let’s give DH a trait that means if you try to boonstrip aegis with steal to stun and apply damage let them rebound a stun and give them ANOTHER AEGIS and let the trap also deal damage. Half the time DH players dont even know what just happened. Because the thief just died trying to steal.
Acro was nerfed and recycled to make this braindead thief spec for HoT, wooo! Can’t wait to see next expansion I wonder if they will nerf deadly arts and give us death arts that applies 10k damage on steal and gives 10 more evades.
Daredevil is just a straight up terrible design that will only receive 10% damage buffs and overall cheese changes. They spent too much money on this spec to completely change/revamp it to give it anything with depth and skill. Oh well.
First of all, DareDevil is a martial style of combat, a Monk, now, why are you so surprised the trait line is based mostly on evades??
Srsly, stop whinning and play the spec you like, if you dont like Daredevil just continue to play the one you’re used to, i’m having a blast with Daredevil since i always loved the Monk style, just play another class/game if you’re not having fun anymore, that or wait the next expac.
