I will gladly give you the knock back off of any of my various professions, if the knock back is replaces with an AoE stealth I can spam.
Smells like any angry thief post, but i will reply anyway.
Have fun getting rapid fired through stealth, aoe conditioned, hit, revealed, knocked out.

First i am curious, how do you die to rapid fire with stealth and 2 dodges and a reflecting elite skill?
All classes have at least 2 dodges and yet people still get hit with RF. Funny how that works. So unless you’re saving all your dodges for rapid fire, you’re not gonna dodge it all and the long bow auto attack is just as damaging if you don’t stop it and get close. Stealth only works if the ranger has no idea what your stealth skills look like, otherwise they just start channeling when they see the animation and RF will track you in stealth. Stealth doesn’t stop damage so even if they don’t manage to get the RF off, they can always use Barrage on themselves. Most burst thieves won’t risk the HP loss+cripple to go into that area. Daggerstorm has a 90 second cd compared to the 8 of RF, not to mention it recently has developed this nasty bug of doing absolutely nothing but the animation but going on full cd. Just saying. If you’re gonna make thief sound like some god tier class who is never hit with anything, you might wanna include all factors when making your snide replies.
Oh thieves king of the pressure get pressured by bearbow now? You should try another class to see what it’s like to play versus a thief…
I just kind of find it a bit comical, that it offended him, that I do not find dealing with a LB ranger, while on my thief, all that difficult.
really comical compairing a burst to a Area/defensive skill learn to stealth>teleport with it and it is golden vs LB’s , time the combo with barrage port in , ranger panics using PBS or Rf(he might swap to melee but thats the idea to force him into his Defensive set)
he will ether KB himself or get a full Rf in his face , if he breaks combat apply pressure , cancel dagger storm and CC stealth+damage.
ether that or use Thiefs guild+ Cnd before or black powder and use those as Meat shields.
Just dancing about with dagger storm going its full channel from a distance isn’t going to close a gap , its like Waiting out for Endure pain to wear off.
stealth use to be annoying since it was Uncounterable through skills, now it needs Tactical play from both players, Revealed is mainly used for Team spikes to down a threat in group play if its used in roaming it is easly avoided by using LOS trees.,
I was happy with the 4second reveal but that allowed a thief to hide behind Los and vanish (heal in stealth) too often recovering damage too quickly, so 6secs is enough for a pet to try and flush you out of cover, but not too long for a kill or to down a thief, this kinda Encouages Active pet play too if a ranger can’t LoS you.
I hate fighting in Enclosed areas and players should aim for that while playing thief the open field isn’t the best place to fight a Archer build, rangers can gap widen like no tommorrow but they still can’t disenage well at all unless they build for it like other classes and with a LB on that greatly reduces the chances of a Disengage, in these areas.
