Loads (and I mean loads) of Utility - coming from the Engi kits.Decent damage output - thanks to fury/crit.Make sure you optimise the use of your kits, these can be found in your Utility skill slots and this indeed gives you access to a lot of Utility, which in turn grants you lots of AoEs (always useful in Open World) as well as hard CCs for breaking def bars (Very important) Why Power Scrapper is good for Solo:
Important: Always make sure you run Firearms specialisation! This will make sure that your Critical chance is rather high and also give you a bunch of Fury. If you want to Solo Open world content with relative ease and comfort, welcome the Scrapper to your roster. So if you are only after aesthetics, by all means, play Holosmith. While Holosmith has higher damage and generally looks more appealing to the eye, Scrapper offers way better sustainability and you don’t feel so much as a glass cannon (granted it is a very shiny glass cannon). Scrapper is the less adored brother to Holosmith when it comes to Engineer blood, I get it.

The Power Scrapper - Learn how to use technology to outsmart your foes.
You can rely on your survivability through the point above, NOT health (Thief, in general, belongs to the category of very low base health and there is barely any healing).You need to stay highly mobile and/or stealthy (e.g.Can play Stealth game (you have lots of it at your disposal using Utility skills).One of the highest mobility professions out there.Respectable damage output without much effort.So in conclusion: Why Staff Daredevil is good for Solo: (Although if you like stealth, then maybe scratch that)Īll that being said, Staff Daredevil is no match in terms of Solo play compared to the big players on this list. So yes, DPS is okay and Daredevil has the moves, but unless you want to *ehm* hit-run-repeat, you won’t enjoy taking down that Mushroom King. On the other hand, the damage output for the effort involved is pretty good (mostly Auto Attack rotations – how easy is that) and his evasive ability is pretty significant, especially with the extra dodge the DD spec gives you. With only 11.645 Base HP, you can get into trouble very quickly and if you are not careful you may find yourself down-stated quite often. While it sure is awesome to mash foes with a staff like potatoes (Come on! It is a melee staff, that’s cool), this thief build is rather squishy. Oh yeah, the Dojo thief as we used to call it. The Staff Daredevil - Do your do-jo and brush the teeth of your enemies with your staff!
