Thanks, Anubarak, for your input. And “worst” is relative; different strokes for different folks. It comes down to what’s fun for each player.

As I progress, which stat should I put more emphasis on as I level my P/P Thief for PvE: Power or Precision?

My P/P Thief is in his mid-20s and I’m trying to decide on which Order I want to join: Vigil or Whispers. Right now, my Power (armor, runes) and Precision (armor, traits) values are about even, but looking forward I notice that Vigil armor has Power while Whispers has Precision so one is going to become dominant eventually.

Then again, I guess I don’t have to actually use the Orders’ armor or weapons if their stats don’t match what’s best for my style of play, but my original question still stands.

I have to say I’m surprised how much fun I’m having with P/P since I rarely play DPS in games of this genre. I like the sound of the gunfire and the bouncing shells, recognizing opportune moments to dodge, and letting the barking irons roar. The S/P backup for those “oh kitten” moments is handy, but I prefer to stay ranged. And, contrary to what others have experienced, I find the build quite survivable as long as I keep moving (every encounter makes me think of the shootout scene from “The Matrix” in the building lobby as I dodge and roll in my trench coat, using obstacles for ranged cover, dual wielding pistols).

Anyway, thank you, in advance, for the assistance in helping answer my question.
