Ok, I have a variety of thieves I am testing out in sword. This iteration for those that love the spec but are not too concerned about the boon theft. Given POF will have a lot of boon hate from other classes , you will likely be able to still use the set to garner that 20 percent bonus with great frequency.

I have a few others on the go but this is fun and the one I have focused most time on.

Please note due to the build site not being updated yet.

Base boon duration is in fact 72 percent. This puts quickness as example at just over 10 seconds. (In essence you can get 50 percent uptime on quickness)

CS will provide near full uptime to Fury . The haste will fill in for any times it might drop. This allows you another source of quickness with lesser haste.

Real crit rate when stacks on is over 80 percent. Coupled with quickness running you can churn out lots of damage.

Might stacking P/P at range and then switching to s/d makes up for lower overall power. Qpockets really helps here. (one unload will stack 11 might on average more if you take assassins fury. This is long lasting.)

VERY resistant to condtions. Using the elite has cleanses . along with those trickery traits. Excellent INI regen with the improved RFI which works beautifully in p/p when evading incoming as you attack.

Very resistant to immobs even without the UC trait. Excellent swiftness uptime just with the dodge and duration with downtimes fueled with the haste and lesser haste.

It will be tuned and might well change with the incoming DE spec but it fun and it works very well in WvW.
