So im not the hottest thief in town, but i had this crazy idea when i saw that venoms actually get decent healing scaling.
Am i just totally off the track or could you actually play this?
Also do venoms work with outgoing healing %?

We used to have a guy who ran nomads thief and before the whole cant Rez while in combat he used to rez players during Zerg fights. Permanent stealth with toughness, bit and healing to make him m as survivable as possible, think it was SA, acro, trick. Hilarious to see people getting back up mid fight randomly.

I believe he found that he was better off being able to camp stealth and get those cheeky rezs in fights than to try and support via healing and venoms.

This guy is pretty amazing, but honestly i couldn’t justify my place in a zerg or group with this gimmick.

Medic Thief is absolutely a thing. Its actually pretty fun to play too. I like playing builds that aren’t normal or standard for the reason that people don’t expect it. Course with the changes recently to rezzing I wonder what that has done to the spec.

I tested my medic thief after the rez changes and it wasn’t nearly as effective. However, if you swap out some of the venoms in the build above and put in smoke bomb/shadow refuge/smoke screen + cluster bomb, as well as swapping leeching venoms with shadow protector, you can do pretty decent AoE healing. Keeping Skelk venom certainly helps too. It’s a different style of play, since you’re basically just pumping out constant stealth and regen, rather than a lot of rolling around and rezzing, but it’s ok for support.

Oh man…the myth, the legend.

I agree it’s not gvg/serious comp worthy, but if you’re as good as him/her most groups wouldn’t mind you tagging along.
