I would really like to see your build, too, babazhook.
I’m not really a fan of P/P as weapons, but i want to try it in the PvP lobby.
Btw what is your strategy to boon sharing? For venom sharing and boons from friends you need to stand close together, so normally in near melee range, don’t you?
Also, losing death blossom from D/D seems like a big hit to your overall damage output, because with pistols you only apply damaging condis with auto-attacks and venoms plus whatever you slot as utlity. So if the venoms run out… not great, i imagine.
By all means, i don’t want to critizise your build. Just mentioned some points i’m unsure about. But i never tried it like this, so maybe i’m totally wrong.

Yeah, that metabattle venom build is the reason why i want to try it. The question is: can it compete with the power build in terms of damage, survivability and usefulness in group content?

Well, that are really nice power builds… but i was asking for the condi version of the thief.
Maybe I’m blind, but i can’t see one on that site. Just some dps numbers i will never achieve

Hello friends of the shadows,

just a quick question to the viability of said profession.
I imagine it would be fun to play a venom daredevil, but i don’t want to miss out on too much dps in the long run. Let’s say my goal is to play him in open world (i know everything works there, but i want a bit of efficiency at least) and fractals/dungeons.

Crafting a set of viper’s armor is incredibly costly (i don’t know about the berserker runes tho…), so i want to hear from players who have played a venom build if they think its fun and how strong it is. (Build would be DA, Trickery and DD i guess?)

And does anyone have some dps numbers? I want to compare it to my power thief (pretty meta i know )

Have a nice day and don’t let any dragon kill you,

Normal PVE in Berserker or Cavaliers?

Personally, I’d say: take whatever you like and feel best with.
The real question is: are you a busy person or do you like to take your time?
Berserker kills stuff faster, but in Cavaliers you can fight forever.

I’m running cavalier. I tried a berserker build with reaper, but I don’t like the feeling of this one.
Take reaper, soul reaping and death magic, the shout “rise” and find yourself immortal in cavaliers armor. I can tank a SW-camp on my own with this and i’m not even trying…
