What's that build Thief's been using?

[Tzozef.9841]

It is a really OP build.

 

Essentially I've seen it used by DD and Core thiefs.

 

There is alot of boon stealing. Tons of evade and retreating from Shortbow, and I believe there is usually a S/D. But they always run away with Shortbow if they low hp then come back, and pretty much steal any boon. The amount of evades and retreating is ridiculous.

 

I don't play thief so I'm curious.

Here's the core build https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Thief_-_Marauder_S/D

 

The DD version... honestly i don't know what they are going to trade for Acro... are you sure you happened to see a DD S/D?

S/d is 5 year old build and the play style as not really changed. But it has had nerfs and buffs in the past, atm core s/d thief is in a good place or even broken in some cases due to double steal and improvisation (haveing 4x consume ecto for example is pretty broken)

I mained DrD S/D all of last year before PoF came out with Deadeye. My build used Acro/Trick/DrD. DA is not crucial as without it I still consistently hit LS for upwards of 8k in half Marauders/half Zerker. This was in WvW though, I don't often play sPvP - if that is what this thread is about.
