(View Build)

Here's my take on the Thief profession and use of signets. The pistol is my personal favorite off-hand for the Thief and I'll be using it for both Primary and Secondary weapon sets. Additionally, to utilize signets in this build, you're going to have to max out Critical Strikes.


Weapon Set:
Primary: Dagger/Pistol
Secondary: Sword/Pistol

Healing, Utility, and Elite Skills:
Healing:
(6) Signet of Malice

Utility:
(7) Assassin Signet - passive increases power

(8) Signet of Agility - passive increases precision.

(9) Signet of Shadows - passive increases your movement speed.

Elite:
(0) Thieves Guild - When things get sticky, call your friends to come out to play.

Traits: 10/30/0/20/10

Deadly Arts:
(VI) Sundering Strike - works with a high critical build.

Critical Strikes:
(II) Signets of Power - 5 stacks of Might!
(VII) Fast Signets - your signet cooldown reducer
(XII) Signet Use - get some initiative back when you use your signet

Acrobatics:
(III) Vigorous Recovery  - good with your heal skill
(X) Martial Agility - move faster when you're using a sword.

Trickery:
(V) Thrill of the Crime - makes Steal more useful.

Your high critical hit and damage will make up for only having 100 in power. The thief are meant to be played as burst damage and you have enough vitality to stay in close combat longer.
