If you read these forums alot, you'll see there is no BEST build, gear selection, or even unanimous opinions on such a question. More often then not, you'll be directed to figure it out yourself based on YOUR play style, YOURpreference, and YOUR goals. Good luck to you. We're in the same boat...and that's a good thing. You don't want to play what someone else tells you to play now do you?

just think of it this way:

trader = defense build because you have to protect the caravan
thief = offense build because you have to take out the hunters and traders fast.

after realizing that, you can choose which build you want to accomadate offense or defense. It is very hard to be high lvl thief and high lvl trader because whenever you try to sell loot or goods with either job, the exp of the opposite job goes down.

Defensive works well for thieves too, since its not that hard to kill a transport.

every character build needs force powers. It is up to you which one you want. Lightning I think is a must for every build, for grasswalk.

fire and ice you can choose between the two. Then a weapon skill.
