I think DE with D/D or D/P is gonna bring back the stealth meta. Throw Shadow Arts in and you have a formidable burster. Gonna be glassy, but stealth is most of the times better at mitigating damage than evades if you know how to use it. In a 1v1, I’ll go for a DE. Forget about the rifle. Think outside the box.

With all that boon Hate RS out of the SA line is also more likely to add that 10 percent damage reduction. Couple this with Resilence and you get 35 percent when stealthed so not as glassy as it would appear.

Scrapper runes added to this and we are talking some serious reduction. Best of all , none of this reduction is being gained via a boon that can be stripped or corrupted.

I am pretty sure that damage reduction is calculated multiplicatively, otherwise, the combination of the new major adept trait – “Iron Sight”, RS and Resilience of Shadow is gonna make it a whopping 50% reduction…quite bonkers if you ask me.

They are handling out reveal like candies again…not gonna be fun using stealth builds.

When in doubt, nerf thieves.
