They have probably the lowest amount of AOE damage, top 2 lowest survival if you dont count running away in stealth and doing nothing for your team. All they can do is burst people and with this tanky crap a burst only takes away about 33 percent of health… BUFF THIEVES

i love spamming unload ricochet with signet of malice in hotjoin,
130 hp for every hit, 8 hits per unload with a 50% chance per hit to bounce to another target and then a 50% chance to bounce again!

i can’t wait for the 5% of damage becomes healing trait to add on to that it’s going to be hilarious. :P

btw i’m not trolling either, i really do find ricochet unload is fun for hotjoins :P
(obviously its not a serious spec you’d use for tournaments)

I’ll take the bait. Don’t mind buffing their AoE, but their single target dps must be nerfed to balance things out. That would be delightful.

Thief is a class thats underpowered if you are bad and overpowered if you are good.
Bind keys, manage initiative, use skills when it actually required, think forward, cut 50% of your random dodging, use shortbow, voila – thief becomes overpowered.

Just spam nr3 pistolwhip and all dies.
^is it like this? no, it isnt. same as all your other statements arent. Its not hard to explain but it will be hard for you to understand it yet i will still say why you think thief is bad.
You suck as a player and you are clueless about PVP.
Reroll warrior, you will still suck but its much easier class when you have no idea what you are doing.

Thief underpowered…lol

Thief vs Warrior 1vs 1, same skill level, thief wins 100% of the time. Thief 1vs 1 with any of the other 7 classes, thief win 100% of the time and you can have the fight knowing there’s 0% chance of you dieing. Worst case scenario for any half decent thief you get driven off and after find some other poor sap to kill…

Thiefs are rly OP …. seems many ppl playing a 30/30/30/30/30 build to fully spam evade/blind/stealth/dmg/PW everytime and beeing god on earth in spvp/wvwvw mode …

Thief is UP, playing a 12 init. handicap build without stealth … only rely on evade(that do no dmg) but …. hey… other classes can do clones while dodging that attacking enemies and warriors dodge can do critdmg till 2k ……

Good Thiefs are average,
Skilled Thiefs are dangerous

Yea, if only shortbow 1 did a ton of damage, or there were on-demand poison for downed bodies, or there tons of ports that allowed the thief to over-extend into the backline without being punished, or steal could prevent almost any stomp, or shadow-refuge could secure almost any res, or thief could share 5-7 boons aoe by using 1 skill (like steal for instance)….If only….

if only the thief could tank AOE in a team fight like some others classes

The thief should never be in the AOE in a team fight they should be focusing the person that is spreading out the AOE. Usually the classes that do that are also doing it from the sides….

They wil be more useful to back cap or help home instead of trying to do anything in a zerg-fest ( team fight). Spreading poison is not as useful as spamming AoE stuns that hit for 4k+ each.

But it is useful to focus that engi or ele or necro that is raining AOE hell down on the point which is exactly why you want a thief in the team fight. Just not IN THE MIDDLE of a team fight… There is a difference you know? Not to mention 333333333333333333 dat pistolwhip.
