Utility
- - adds more burst damage to the build. Consider using right before the first projectile goes off in order to cut down on travel time/distance, making the skill harder to avoid.
- - good passive bonus and extra cleansing/evasion on active.
- - primarily used to chase down targets. If you need to break stun with it and don't want to remain right next to your opponent, you can use NPCs and other players as targets to teleport to.
- - a ranged pull on short CD. Good at closing gaps, interrupting skills and setting up bursts without spending initiative.

Stats
- The ratio of
Marauder and Berserker gear pieces partly comes down to personal preferences. As a general guideline, try to aim for ~17k HP when getting the gear. Rune options and traits like can both affect your maximum HP so plan with those in mind.

Food
- - good stats and passive damage mitigation.
- - same stats as the food above except with life steal instead of damage mitigation.
- - non-ascended version of the food above, without the sustain.
- - crit chance bump with armor ignoring damage procs which also heal.
- - mainly a budget defensive food that provides more frequent access to dodging.

Ratings
The new premiere thief build following the targeted nerfs to stealth focused playstyles. Very good damage and survival and easy to play.
Still a solid build, even if it's not that popular. Great mobility and damage, works best against tanky opponents thanks to unblockable attacks and boon removal.
Permaspeed variant 5/5

Great roamer build which reflects the skill of the player more than any other build (D/P Daredevil too).
You will be deadly and have success with this build only if you know how to dodge, time and bait your skills correctly.
You won't be hard carried by build such as holosmiths, boonbeasts, condi mirages and warriors.
Expect to die a lot even against completely noob players at first, even a noob dragonhunter or holosmith can destroy you immediately if you miss one dodge.
With time and practice you can pretty much beat any build except boonbeasts, weavers and good holos which are stupid professions with too much damage and sustain. Your damage will be simply outhealed even if they stand still.
Not to mention guardian is your main direct counter, against a good one you should never win, so accept that and move on.
As far as runes go I think Rune of the Pack and Fireworks are pretty solid choices as well, and dodge food is pretty neat too.
