Ratings
Infinite stealth resets during a fight is bonkers. Add blind on top of that and some builds can't even fight back. Even does high damage, well higher compared to the PvP version. I hate it and love it at the same time.
Hard to learn but if u know how most classes work, u can easily 1v3 and never die
Some things never change, D/P thief continues to be a top performing spec even after all these years. The high mobility, burst damage and great CC options make this build very threatening. The only real way to lose on this one is to get greedy and eat a counterburst. It's squishy, but has all the necessary tools to avoid damage and reset fights.
Solid roamer with some room for tweaking to the individual's style, extremely capable in the hands of a skilled player but any thief who has the D/P basics down can enjoy the benefits of this build. For those who love mobility, this is the build for you. A mainstay of WvW since the dawn of time for a reason.
The perfect roamer/scout, recon without fear of the enemy catching up with you and in the unlikely event that they do, you still have the firepower to make them regret it.
