thief commander build?
Was wondering if there are any thief commanders builds out there? Or even small havoc builds they could share?
For Havoc Builds, run Marauder for armor, Zerker for weapon set and adjust for vitality with Valkyrie pieces as needed for earrings/rings/back/amulet (Unless you are cond.) . Your runes will generally be Daredevil runes (again, unless you are a condi spec), and weapon set is generally D/P – Staff.
There are a couple of different ways to play havoc thief, because that is essentially what the thief is built for as a class.
For Commanding, Never Ever Take Thief as Commander What Are You Nuts. Their health pool is too low and their dependency on stealth for tankier builds is useless when you are leading a large group of people that are not stealthed.

I used to think (build op, pls nerf) like you, but then I took a nerf to the knee.

What, does tag disappear when you stealth? I don’t see how being a thief would be a problem.

because the way commanders are played, they just go in the melee with cac. They serve as a rally point, aoe damages and heal target too. Do that with a thief and you are pretty much dead meat.
I suppose this play-style comes from a compromise between simplicity and effectiveness even with people not on team speak.
But nothing restrain you to use the flag system from squad to target objectives, ask for heal, etc… I’ve never seen a commander use it even once. that would be the best way to play a thief commander.
Thief can run very survivable builds. Just go SA+Acro+DD, camp stealth and spam evades
Thief Commander(essentially Ninja Nurse), use full Nomads with Mercy Runes Potion of Karka Toughness and run human for Avatar of Melandru Elite for those rare cases and just keep stacking stealth. Drive your Squad using the Sqaud Ground Markers sit back and be a support role, this stops multiple things like Pin Sniping (I lol’ed when I saw people complaining about that and want Mommy Anet to coddle them)and So on. If anyone goes down you will be able to resurrect them efficiently while removing them for Sight for a couple seconds.
You must be able to remote Command a Group and train them not to blob on Tag so it goes against the Conditioned mentality of Zerglings.
I don’t see why not if you go perma stealth and bring lots of evades. Just hang out not where they are blasting aoe’s
