Meet Aurelia the Thief. The zero to hero Catfolk. Dark Difficulty.

Background: Catfolk, Slum Rat, Thief (+3 Agility)

Equipment used:

Notable Uses:
Silver Mask (previously used Titanic Hat), this is used to get Equanimity+ : A stance that adds 25% crit chance and 20% more crit damage
Kunoichi Bodysuit, this armor is used for its 25 evasion and 10 magic and physical resist (this build needs to avoid getting stunned since it uses a stance)
Undergarments, +7 focus is mediocre, but since this build has poor focus stat as well as how damage reduction stats work (armor, focus, ward), it means that 7 focus is a great percentage decrease in tease damage.
Champion's Belt, MORE ATTACK POWER; oh and also 10 crushing and penetration resist
Golden Carrot (previously used Gloves of Giant Strength), more accuracy and more critical chance; but deals 10 more AP when dealing crit damage while above 75%. The Synergy is obvious and ideally provides more AP. Cloak of the Deep is used for slightly more tankiness, my team comp has a healer/support.
Winged Sabatons, more evasion but most importantly initiative; its purpose is to mitigate the heavy weapon initiative penalty - loses 2 initiative from her base initiative instead of 5.
Lucky Strikes x2, no more hornet ring, no more eating 200+ Blue Eggs (WM) to keep breast size from PP (largest size I remembered character having)

Powers (viable for all bosses and encounters - Duels use different Powers: Deflection, Lightning Strike, Dual Blitz, Eviscerate)

Equanimity: Self-Explanatory, used to reach 100% Crit and more Crit Damage
Cleave: Infinite Aoe (for swarms, aka Kervus Orc Bar Fight, and any more than one enemy encounters)
Driving Thrust: Conditional Steady Strike with half the cooldown and no two-handed tag
Deadly Shadow: Status Debuffer (Stagger for lower evasion to and damage dealt by enemies, Terror not really used since team comp has no perverts)
Assasinate: To oneshot bosses (unless ghost with 100 penetration resist) or when you really want to fuck an enemy sideways.

PS: Aurelia uses Frost Hammer (quick swapping weapons doesn't end action) to apply Sunder - 91% crit with frost hammer - to enemies to get driving thrust to add 200+ attack power (not that it matters much since 200-250 damage with songblade weapon is enough to two shot any non-boss enemies usually)

I am posting my build for others to use and also get feedback from people who probably more experienced than me

Also team comp is wild Wyldkin! Etheryn and Agnimitra

Correction: I use juice for 3% more crit, making the 53 (base crit) + 25 (at-will ability) + 20 (all abilities use weapon Songblade which has 20 crit) = 98 crit + 3 from juice

I mean if you're just going to juice Cunning why not put your Cunning points into another stat.

It fits the character rp wise, yeah its not optimized, but the character went from starving slumrat scum to lean and mean hero with both streetsmarts and martial prowess to back up her claim as champion of hawkethorne

but yeah, I see that I could have dump stats to willpower or toughness or even presence (although the character is the sole dps) to further optimize the build
