If you want boon stealing you could easily drop shortbow for sword/dagger. I don’t play with a team so I mostly do hot joins and shortbow is better for tagging people for points.

Works out pretty good. It’s more damage than the 10/30/30 build.

Really liking it. Burst is 5, 2, steal, 1. It’s not insta gib but serves its purpose.

Just thought I’d post and share. I’m not into the s/d band wagon evasion builds. Aside from jumper I’ve been able to kill all of those s/d guys easy. Jumper just plays well.

I do think s/d is useful but only in situations where you are fighting hgh engi or bunker guard/ele with boons.

This build you hit hard and can stay in a fight.

Just another noob thief…

No it doesnt have for sure more dps than 10-30-30…. if u want dps u need 30 points in Crit Strikes much more than some extra power… 30 points in CS much higher dps that points in DA.

I quit wvw. It’s more damage than 10/30/30 because of the 10% increase when target has a condi.

10-30-30: +150 precision (much higher crit chance) , 15% more crit damage, +10% more damage when 6 or more initiative, 20% more damage target less than half health or 100% crit for backstab + Major Master rune of your choice

all of this ads much more dps than +150 powwer, 5% damage dagger and 10% when condition

Power thief needs crit/crit damage more than anything to have high dps

Your bonuses to damage % aren’t useful like 50% of the time. Mine are useful all time because if you are hitting something it has a condi on it.

With stacks and behind your target your crit rate is 61%.

It’s more consistent damage from to finish.
