Overview

D/P Thief is a PvP build that's an asset to the team not only because of its pressure, but also due to the utility it brings - most notably the top tier mobility and the AoE stealth. The build focuses on decapping unguarded enemy points and outnumbering fights before quickly moving on to the next one - in short, its role is map control. One of the harder builds to play.

Utility

The only utility that shouldn't be replaced is Shadowstep. There are many great options for the other slots, including:

  • Impairing Daggers - adds more burst to the build and the Immobilize Immobilize could be used to set up kills.
  • Shadow Portal - exceptionally strong map control tool that's great for getting decaps or cutting down on time you spend roaming between fights.
  • Bandit's Defense - short CD stun break with a block, and the CC on the chain skill could help you set up kills.


Elite

  • Basilisk Venom - better setup for coordinated burst, can even be shared with allies.

Specializations

Variants

  • Escapist's Fortitude - this trait is great for dealing with condition pressure, but kind of forces you to run Rune of Warrior as you'll need the extra vitality.


Specialization Variants

Critical Strikes over Deadly Arts. This version of the build trades some survivability and utility value for higher damage:

Equipment Variants

Relics

  • Relic of the Daredevil - lower burst potential but more consistency.


Runes

  • Rune of Holosmith - very similar to Vampirism, slightly lower HP for a bit higher crit chance. Higher risk/reward option.
  • Rune of Warrior - more beginner-friendly option with higher HP.


Sigils

  • Sigil of Escape or Sigil of Purging over Sigil of Energy - better condition cleansing.
