Any decent condi thief build?

The best ones atm are pretty much condi pistol/dagger deadeye (finicky) and condi pistol deadeye. They lose a lot to meta classes, though, but esp. condi pistol deadeye compensates by being virtually impossible to mess-up (p/d variant ports you backwards on every 4th attack which makes it awkward to play), keeps up most of boons on self thru M7 and does the same dps from range and melee so you can do its bench dps on pretty much any boss during burns unlike most classes which require melee for good dps. Not good, hardly decent, but gets the job done. Search youtube for "gw2 condi deadeye raid" to see how it rolls (though Kitty's vids are from before DA revamp and thus boss dps has dropped 2-3k).

The complicated version with awkward backwards porting: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PagAoilVwUYHMKmJOyW1vPA-zRJYmRD/YUoAinAGmGQcWB-eThe unoptimized version Kitty personally runs 'cause lazy: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PaQAolVwOYKsPmJOyWrvPA-zRJYmRBfQUUAGTjCOrA-eShe also uploaded new video yesterday on it:

Thief's weapon-skill 3 (aka. Dual Wield) changes depending on which weapons you have equipped (excluding shortbow, rifle and staff). Pistol-only and pistol+dagger both have Repeater as skill 3, but pistol+dagger has it as flip skill and the first skill in that flip sequence teleports you away from target (never over the edge of possible platform, though) which makes it extremely awkward to use and thus pistol-only without flip skill is safer option unless you really like living dangerously.The main problem with only one pistol, though, is that it doesn't count as Dual Wield for Deadly Ambition-trait which inflicts poison on target whenever you use Dual Wield skills.

From another point of view, think of how OP such super-simple build would be if it also got that bonus from the other sigil and stats? It'd be quite broken skill/opportunity cost/efficiency-wise. But Kitty has videos, you can always watch and decide whether it's fail or not.
