I was wondering what combos we could pull off, this morning I figured we could…

  • sick em cast reveals thief, pop entangle, they might not be able to escape easily without access to stealth, now CC them while in binds

Would this work? What can you think of for mesmers or thieves?

Wouldn’t the thief just shadowstep out of it?

condition spam, thiefs have nearly no remove ability when they cannot stealth

I was thinking something like a shout build,if conditions are toned down we are going back to BM era imo..Now with Natures voice and a lot of healing again,i hope for some zerker amulets,but i think the cond era will continue for a long time so stick with Spirits ppl

I’m still holding out hope that the move is a ranged shout or something and not just making it so your pets next attack applies revealed to the target. If it applies revealed on attack it will be hard to use with a melee pet since so many Thieves run dagger pistol. The blind field will cause it to miss often.

As for combos, I only really see using it after a knockback/daze personally.

Ideally they’d jump me, I unload a rapid fire into them and my dog pounces or fears them. I barrage onto them to get the AE field started and knockback once they can move. At this point I’d sic’em and lay into them with a second rapid fire with zephyr up, swoop, hilt, and maul.

I dont know if 10sec on sic ‘em is enough, they could just shadowstep away, run and reset. Even without stealth they have tons of mobility, so you’d have to hit them with cripple/immob too.

Needs to be something like the Bards reveal skill from DAoC to make it worth it, imo.

Any shadowstep skill will get a Thief out of Entangle, and they also have immobilize removal on Withdraw. It’s not really a problem at all.

The right time to use reveal, will be when the Thief is at low life and tries to stealth away. It’s not going to be easy to do. Especially if the reveal is only going to last around 5 seconds.

I guess Ranged Rangers are out of luck if they’re at range and can’t use entangle?

To me, the best use of this skill is when a Thief is holding up 3-4 folks by popping in and out of stealth, working them down 1 by 1. This ability would allow the 3-4 individuals to focus down a Theif.

Nah. Use a Jaguar-heavy build. Send the Jag out, pop his Stealth, then “Sic ’Em.”
You get the Revealed, and apply a nasty bit of DPS/Bleed. I could also see it working pretty well with Birds, due to their attack speed.

You don’t really need a lot of combos with sic em. Just apply the cripples, maybe concussion shot. Sic em’s built in 40% speed buff for pet and will down them pretty much instantly.

I prefer to use my Muddy Terrain with Sick’Em because it gets a good amount of cripple and immob on them making them easy pickings for my suped up pet.

Im really hoping the revealed is either a single target 10s revealed (same duration as Sick’Em) or better yet… An AoE.
