Ratings
The ONLY thief build I'd recommend for ranked right now. Still deletes people after the nerfs, don't believe the doomers. Hard to die on too if you have any sense of awareness. The only things the nerfs did was push it more in a condi direction, which is no problem and comes with a bunch of extra HP.
Multiple nerfs later, this isn't as good as it once was. The damage is alittle unreliable due to reliance on projectiles and positioning of axes. It does less damage than s/d and even d/p I feel. Due to its ease of use I will still rate it a 4, but it gets out done by d/p and s/d by rotation, and deadeye by ranged dps.
Has been repeatedly nerfed for months. Still pretty good, but I don't know if it's the be-all end-all build for Thief any more. A good deadeye is way more annoying, and D/P is always going to be the most cancerous build in PvP because of the perma-stealth.
Fairly common ranked build. It's a lot like Willbender in a sense that you can absolutely carry games with it in ranked while being easy to play, but sees very little play at tournaments. High damage high sustain.
