Insanely high burst damage and absolutely top tier mobility, but suffers from the same lack of sustain as most other Power Guardian roamers. It has all the tools to win in seconds but if the fight drags on for too long then the odds start turning against it. Doesn't work well in outnumbered situations either. I don't want to sound too negative because the build really shines in many areas and is widely considered to be one of the best roamers, but getting used to the low sustain can take some practice and a particular playstyle that isn't for everyone. Still, the burst is amazing and the build can be scary in the right hands (and it's fun). 2024 update: still going strong.

Well finally, a roaming Willbender build that really feels and plays like a thief, all be it with heavy armour in favour of stealth. It has rejuvenated my passion for the game. I tried the Mediation version, which is good and possibly better for getting used to roaming with a WB, but the glassier Radiant version is way more fun if you have the skill level for it, (or if you are used to playing D/P thief). Great roamer but if you like to live life on the edge, run with a zerg, teleport into the enemy zerg, burst to the max and shadow step out again, huge dopamine rush! Personally I really like the use of runes of speed, they really helped me stick that bit better to the target but if you don't have that issue, then there are plenty of other useful options to suit your play style.

Best roaming build with ton of burst and mobility , I think speed runes aren't necessary and dura/pack is just better. I wouldn't recommend running GM trait on willbender traitline either as you sacrifice 2s lethal tempo duration for maximum of 8.7% of damage leading to total damage loss.
