GewRoo.4172 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 That build is far from optimal and in most cases barely viable - both traits and utility skills. I would recommend to choose one of the meta builds which are listed at metabattle.com and to watch the D/P guide for new players in Valluns YouTube channel.

Dantheman.3589 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Your build is fine actually. You might want basi venom as the best part of your burst will be backstab + fist flurry stun combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayga.3192 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Use these instead:Daredevil healAgility or Assassin signet, or even Bandit's DefenseFist FlurryShadowstepBasi venomAlso definitely use sigil of exploitation.Your amulet choice is a bit weird too, I'd say use marauder.Other than that, theorycrafting is fine because all good builds come from it. Even I play heavily homebrew builds and I was high G3 to mid P1 (with 50-60 matches a season xD). However, think about your role and get AT LEAST one stunbreak and condi cleanse.

UNOwen.7132 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 A few things. Bound is not a good choice. Its too clunky for setting up burst, and makes your map mobility significantly lower, which is very important for thief. Shadows Rejuvination is bad, its only good if you try to stealth up in-combat, but any half-decent enemy will punish you hard for trying to. Rending Shade on the other hand adds boonrip and potential fear, which is a lot of utility. Assassin's amulet is inefficient, use Berserkers for a chunk of added damage. Fist Flurry and Impairing daggers are both bad, and your build has absolutely no stunbreaks. You want at least shadowstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kuro.8937 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 I believe its a little better nowBetween the 1 sec Daze (Sleight of Hand)> 1 sec Fear (Rending Shade) >2 sec immobilize (Impairing daggers)> 2 sec stun(Fist Flurry ) , it gives me time to control + burst my target , without running out of resources too fast and trying to keep the burst under 5 sec on a ''heavy'' targetshttps://imgur.com/SxcEDG3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre also off by your utility from the meta build, since sadly, fist flurry and impairing daggers arent good.My skills are not in par with other people , because i play Fractals most of the times , but someone can reduce its TKK (time to kill) with his better RPM Its always going to stay pretty high.

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I found my burst build, called power shiro dual sword/staff build, been a blast learning it and actually performs like a burst class. Only complaint is for me it isn't a easy build to play but that's also a plus in a lot of ways but I'm getting into the groove pretty quick.

For that matter, what do you do against condi bombs? Your only stunbreak is also your only bust condi clear, and its a looong cooldown. And all of that, for what? An immobilise the enemy can just cleanse, and a stun that is so janky, walking back is often enough to stop it from hitting you? Are they are going to stun break the one sec Fear ? Regardless of what they do , i will immobilize them later .Are they going to wait till their HP goes at 35% and then stun break my 2 sec stun (fists) ? I will keep Shadow Shot them .Are they going to use 2x stun breaks and condition removal my immobilize ? Then i am going to help somewhere else for 15-20 sec (till my cds are up) and come back I mean, they could even cleanse the fear (assuming they have instant-cast cleanses) or have it be automatically cleansed by traits (good old Alchemy traitline). But yes, they can do that. You immob them, and they cleanse that. And ... now what? Hell, they could even dodge the impairing daggers, or block them, or evade them, not a big deal either way. And the Fist Flurry wont even hit 5 times to make the stun available since its trivially easy to stop.Youre not going to get their HP to 35% off of a backstab and impairing daggers. Youll fail to hit 50%. And again, thats ignoring the fact that they can and will just fight back. Any half-decent player will take the opportunity to brutalise you and force you to escape without having accomplished anything.After the Backstab , the majority will try to dodge . Its in the human nature .I will wait till its after and i will cast the imobilize .Theyre feared. They cant instinctively dodge (unless they have auto-cleanse). But sure, lets ignore that. You immobilise them. You do know immobilise is not a stun, right? They can still block, they can still use evading skills, they can still just cleanse. And if just a single hit of Fist Flurry fails to connect, the followup becomes unavailable.Not every class has an auto cleanse like Engineer . And if they do , it has a higher cd than my own cds .True, not all of them do. Most however have either that, or instant-cast cleanses. There is an option there either way.Fist can work with immobilize , or i can wait till they have burned their 2 dodges and then cast it .Ive already explained why the first doesnt work, and how exactly do you plan to force them to burn their dodges as a thief? You dont have anything they have to dodge other than maybe backstab (and that one is situational because you cant always reliably dodge it).The damage have been lowered across the board . In the worst case scenario i can dodge any dangerous attack .Not enough to make thief explode any less. You were overkilled prior to the patch, now youre just killed. And sure, you can dodge some dangerous attacks, but not all of them. If you stay in the fight, you get exploded.@UNOwen.7132 said:@Captain Kuro.8937 said:@"Psycoprophet.8107" said:Lmao this thread, funny as I figured what this thread was from beginning.

Good thing in ur short time "proving to ur bf" u found secrets to the class vets like sindrener etc haven't, good for ya lol.I am sorry , but i don't follow you .I asked the opinion of the forum's members to point me to the right direction and improve my build .I didn't ask sindrener 's help . In matter of fact he could have a secret Staff/Staff build , to be used on the July 2020 tournament .It could be so beautiful and fluent to be seen and executed on the stream , before so many new buyers and the thieves community will be ecstatic with joy in the forums , leaving behind their problems .The end result based on the freedback from the community , that helped my to create a spec (for personal use only) , allows me to CC the enemy while i burst him .Something so i can ''try'' to control him , rather than let him heal up and run away from me .Thats the thing though. Why would they run away? When a thief jumps you, you fight back. If its a 2v1, different story, but even then if youre a bunker build you can still fight back.Any time they are not near be , its a loss of dps , because i will be trying to catch them rather than burst them . Also giving them the chance to heal up or counter-attack me .Whats the point of "catching" a player who can turn around and obliterate you? If anything, you should be running away from them as soon as they turn on you.Thats why i must stunlock them , rather than Backstabing them once and try to duel them .Warriors have a hard time reliably stunlocking people, and they have more and faster CC. What luck will you have? Besides, do you think if this was an option, that people wouldnt have made this build? I personaly asked this build to be used by me .What other people have to do with me ?Congratz i guess , for Warriors having a stunlock spec too ? @UNOwen.7132 said:@Captain Kuro.8937 said:@"Psycoprophet.8107" said:Lmao this thread, funny as I figured what this thread was from beginning.

They still kill you because their damage is much higher than yours, and shadowshot does not impair them nearly enough. "Restealth" if you try to do it mid-combat, you get exploded. Please, do restealth against me, Ill just chuck a nade barrage and down you. "Run away for 15 secs" thats 15 seconds during which you are useless. And keep in mind, when you return 15 seconds later, things are not going to play out any differently. "If they retaliate offensively I use daggerstorm", ok, and then what? They just wait out the daggerstorm, maybe heal or buff up. It does not do a lot of damage nowadays. " If they play defensivly i try to Headshot crusial spells, till my cds are up ?" good luck doing anything without initiative that you used up on headshots that do no damage.

Do that, and the enemy turns on you and kills you. The only way you can avoid losing every 1v1 as a thief, is to never fight 1v1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
