Thanks for the response!
Hihey: I have actually just made a PVP build video that I will upload in a day or two. In that video I am using sigil of air and sigil of fire and it is totally beast! So that is something to take into consideration!
Kiro: Signet of malice is nice, but it dosen’t heal me a lot if I need a heal and I will loose my stealth so I wouldn’t fit my playstyle good enough!
“Ricochet” is a fairly nice trait but I don’t know what trait to swap it with. I am also mainly using melee so it might be unecessary to pick it.
I got another tip from a guy on youtube to take “Sleight of hand” which I thought was really great (dumb of me for not thinking about it). I am basing my build on Steal and Sleight of hand will reduce the charge rate with 20% which is great! I was thinking of maybe replace “Bountiful Theft” with it, do you think that is an improvement?

hm, really? I am positive that you got the money instantly, seems that Brunobyof is agreeing with me.
Also, it wasn’t my intention to refer the drop rate as “high” on the magnificent chest. It’s the same as any other chest (I guess?). But last time I went SS I ran 15 times and got 2 rares, so that’s not much but it’s something^^
My intention of making this thread is not in how much money you can make in particular, I just stated that you can make money if you are lucky enough! The main purpose was to hopefully help some people out!
The SS is a good way of making money but not the best! Just wanted to break it down on how I see the possibility to make decent money on it!
Thanks for replying!
It is an 8 minute run and 1 minute between the matches. I do 15 runs per day for the loot bag and a chance for the skin. It is fun but not a productive way for golds.
Hm, I’m afraid I have to disagree with you there. As you can see in my video it’s around 5 minutes. And you don’t need to Wait for the timer. After you have finished you can just re-queue and go again everything will count as soon as you cross the finish line.
Sure, I will do an update on this post with the build written down!
Hm, sounds legit mate! I will look it up aswell and see what I think about it!
Valin, yeah I know mate.. I was dumb and put in a Silverstein track which made it unwatchable through mobile devices.. Forutnately for me I seem to be able to watch the clip if it’s linked on another website, like this thread or on FB, but apparently not directly through Youtube :<
So, I got some feedback recording the “squishyness” of this build and I just want to reply that I have regeneration approximately 80% of the time while in a dungeon, so conditions are almost never a problem! And I practically only using my healing spell when I got heavy conditions or in an emergancy of it, otherwise I just dodge, stealth or use shadow return.
I learned a long time ago that you need to time your dodge for survival while playing a thief. I even tried with pwr/vit/tough gear and 30 points in the “shadow arts” and “acrobatics” trees? once, still died from conditions…

So, what do you think of the update?
Thank you for the feedback!
I like what you are doing and will look through my build once again and see if I can change a banner for a shout (for instance).
However, I go with the banners mainly because I don’t have to think about giving the party their boons because the banners will automatically refresh themselves. But also because you can pick them up and give vurnability, knockback, swiftness and more regeneration!
And also, as I said in the video, I do use empower allies aswell, but only when I don’t have a guardian in the group!

Hi guys!
I made a banner based build after the patch which I really enjoy! I gives you great support to the party but it’s not the typical killer machine that warriors usually are!
I made this video to show you guys!
Hi guys!
I will start off by saying that my builds are always flexible and I’ll give you multiple choises and tips, but in the end it depends on your situation and group constellation!

I wanted to think outside the box here, so have in mind that this build is not for the bloodthirsty killer!

UPDATE AFTER FEEDBACK:
I would recommend that instead of 10 points in “Strength” you put those 10 points in “Defence” and take “Defy pain” [XII] which will activate “Endure pain” when your health drops down to 25%. And also you will get the 25 trait slot which is “Armored attack”, which will give you 5% toughness bonus based on your power. This will give you greater chance to survive. Endure pain does not work against condition, however, you got loads of regeneration that will overheal the condition.
I switched those 10 points and that made a huge difference! I wasn’t really happy with my 10 points in Strength. As I said in the video, “Reckless dodge” doesn’t apply any advantage to the build, but I wanted “Powerful banners”… But I noticed that it was unnecessary to have because it made way to little damage. Therefore I switched to another 10 points in “Defence”, and that was one of the better things I’ve done with the build!
You could also swap out “Banner of tactics” with “Signet of the dolyak”, which will give you more survivability (you will still get regeneration because of “Inspiring battle standard”)!
If you prefer shouts you can swap “Banner of strength” with “For great justice” and swap out “Inspiring battle standard”[XI] for “Vigorous shouts”[XII] (in Tactics), which will heal you everytime you use a shout! This gives you 1 extra healing ability!

I can finally crit over 10k!!
Hi guys!
I made a video of my build here where I walk through everything about the build!
But I will also write it down:
The purpose with this build is to sustain high damage while you still contribute with boons to your party! You also got a lot of different slots to swap out, just to fit your playstyle better, and I will go through a couple of them!
Berserker gear
Valkyrie sword and short bow
Berserker pistols and daggers
Soldiers accessories
Berserker amulet and rings
Sword: sigil of force
Short bow: sigil of bloodlust
Pistol: 1x sigil of bloodlust, 1x sigil of force
Dagger: 1x sigil of bloodlust, 1x sigil of force
Mainly using Sword/Pistol and Short bow!
2219 power
3219 attack
1912 precision
51% crit chance
81% critical damage (get increased if you choose sigil of perception instead of bloodlust)
Utility skills/Elite skill
Hide in shadows
Shadow refudge (or switch to “haste”)
Assassin’s signet
Signet of agility
Thieves guild
Traits: 10/30/0/0/30
Deadly arts:
III (mug, do dmg when stealing)
Critical strikes:
I (furious retaliation, gain fury when the target is on 50% health),
III, (side strike, gives you 7% more chance to crit if you are behind the target)
XII, (execusioner, deal 20% more dmg when target is under 50%)
Trickery:
V (thrill of the crime, gain fury, might and swiftness when stealing),
IV(flanking strike, do 5% dmg when hitting from the side or behind),
VII (bountiful theft, give vigor to allies when stealing)
The main ability for this build is “Steal” because you got 3 trait slots with steal-required attributes! In deadly art you get “mug” which damage the target that you use steal on. In Trickery you got “Thrill of the crime” and “Bountyful theft”. “Thrill of the crime” gives you and all nearby allies fury, might and swiftness for 10 seconds and “Bountyful theft” gives you 10 seconds of vigor. The CD on stealth is 27 seconds, so after the boons disappear you only got 17 seconds left until you can use it again and regain all the boons!
Alternativ trait slots:
Instead of “Mug”[I] and 10 points in deadly art for 10 points in shadow arts and pick “Slowed pulse”[II] which will give you regeneration if you get 2 or more stacks of bleed.
Instead of “Side strike”[III] you can take “Practiced tolerance”[VI], 5% of the precision is converted to vitality.
Instead of “Execusioner”[XI] you can take “Hidden killer”[XII], which will give you a 100% chance to crit while in stealth (a tip is to use dagger then, so you can get “ambush”)
Instead of “flanking strikes”[IV] you can take “Merciful ambush” [I], which stealth you and an ally when ressing another ally. Or “Initial strike” [IX] which gives you a 7% chance to regain 1 initiativ per attack you do (you can only use skills 1-3).
Alternatively (if you think that you die too fast) you could also swap 10 points in Deadly art and 10 points in trickery (remove “flanking strikes”) and put 20 points in Shadow arts and take “Slowed pulse”[II] and “Shadow embrace”[IV], which remove 1 condition every 3 seconds while in stealth. You could also switch to “Leeching venoms”[IX], but only if you play with daggers or use the short bow, because you need to deal poison to get healed!!
Playstyle:
Always start with stealth, this will give you much more advantage!
As soon as you used it you press “Pistol whip” 3(sword) and if there’s a normal mob, you don’t need to do much more… Because it’s dead..
If you encounter bosses or veteran mobs you start with the same tactic, but you could also put up your thieves guild before you use stealth.
After you’ve used Pistol whip you dodge back and use “Infiltrator’s strike”2 (sword) just to have a plan B if you get low on health and.
After that you encounter the mob again and start off with “Blackpowder” 5(pistol off-hand) then you go with Pistol whip again (blinds them)!
Dodge and then Pistol whip again.
Then just repeat! Stealth should be ready by this time! If not, use Pistol whip once again!
