Thief is fine, as long as you’re not terrible on it. The problem is, there are a lot of people who are terrible on it. If you’re terrible on it you die a lot faster than being terrible on scrapper, cleric tempest, or condi-reaper.
It was against two dragonhunters (at least), a warrior, and tempest. DH counters DD hard so that makes the win even more impressive. It’s funny whenever DH’s play like thieves with trying to roam and decap.
1. quite few ppl don’t know how to play thief since it has been pretty much dead for entire season (courtesy of beloved Anet balancing team)
2. worst part: a lot of people don’t know HOW to play WITH a thief on team
3. decent revs/scrappers completely shut down thieves – the more there are of those on enemy team the less impact you have on outcome of the match as a thief – meanwhile Anet turns blind eye to issue and continues to gold spoon those classes
XD
Now hopefully people will stop saying that thieves need to stay out of ranked lol
I really never understood why ppl were kittening thieves in pvp. i mean those that know the professions are invaluable assets and can currently win pretty much any 1 v1 they have.
Ahahahaha…change the 2 DH to 1 Reaper 1 Engie, and then we will see..make it more fun, put 2 Reaper there… I think your opponents didn’t even had a condi/hybrid Reaper. 4 chill skill and bye bye 4 thieve in instant!

Thieves are probably the class that is the least affected by chill. 66% increase in cd is meaningless when the cd of their main skills is 0. The movement speed decrease is likewise ineffective as most of thief mobility comes from teleports, shadowsteps, and leaps.
Besides maintaining condition uptime on something with the ludicrous amounts of evades and mobility is not even remotely reliable.
This looks like a combination of decent thieves (they do actually exist) and bad DHs (but good DHs also exist). I bet the third player was a Reaper, so gg. Thieves do well against Reapers (good thieves only) and Tempests. That warrior, I have no comment.

It’s even funnier when people who don’t know how DHs play act like they do.
Watch Zero Counterplay’s relegation matches. Although they lost, I think kitten was the best person on their team. Really knows the Guardian class and what to do as a DH.

Well, condis are unfun to thieves as well. Shocker. With only one way to cleanse them these days because nobody runs SA if you manage to reapply your condis after the cleanse the thief will be forced out of the fight.
The OP was lucky tbh. This is surprisingly good comp versus the enemy comp. Thieves are perfect at taking down warriors/eles 1on1. Add 4 high mobility thieves to burst down targets with target assists and these guys were probably blowing up the enemy faster than they could say cheese. 3 for strike team 1 to run caps and mesmer to interrupt any wannabe ressurecters.
