Actually the general thing that I hear is warriors out dps thieves and have more support utility, ergo the thief hate that I occasionally run into when trying to run fractals or some dungeons. So this did surprise me I’ll admit.

Thief and warrior damage is pretty close and highly debatable, but warriors are obviously way more survivable, thus a better choice when taking a pug.

These thieves were only taken because together they provided 25 might stacks for the whole team. Taking two warriors in their place was only less damage because warriors can’t spam unlimited blast finishers in pre-fight buffing opportunities.

Thieves outdps warriors but cannot give might stacks and fury like a warrior does. And a buffed warrior does more DPS than an unbuffed thief.

Does the Ranger they use give fury stacks himself? Because with 2 clusterbomb spammers, a single warrior fire field is probably enough to cap might stacks so all that’s missing is fury.

That’s wrong…. 3x FGJ = 9 stacks of Might, 2 Blast finisher from banners = 15 stacks of might… 1x signet of inspiration = 25 stacks might for the team

It makes me really sad to see so many thieves that have no idea how to play their thief v.v

It’s my understanding that fully buffed thieves have more dps than fully buffed warriors.
(Fully buffed being defined as having 25 might fury and 25 vuln on target)

A victor gives no quarter when the victor shows no clemency or mercy
and refuses to spare the life in return for the surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender)
of a vanquished opponent.

I said Might stacks AND Fury. Also, as was mentioned bellow, Warriors + Mesmer = 25 stacks of might anyway.

Thief can do that too but is missing Fury mostly. I suppose the ranger can do the trick with the Red Moa. I think it’s the pet with a big Fury uptime on the group.

I know one of the thieves in the video and I know he was invited to blast might. They could’ve dropped the warrior for an elementalist, or they could’ve dropped both thieves for 2 more warriors. the point is, they were just buff bots who provide might, and like warriors are on the upper end of the damage spectrum. Just because people disagree with you, doesnt mean they “have no idea how to play their thief.”

Thief can do that too but is missing Fury mostly. I suppose the ranger can do the trick with the Red Moa. I think it’s the pet with a big Fury uptime on the group.

thieves can provide group fury with 10 in trickery…

The ranger was brought for the spotter trait (150 precision), and frost spirit (+10% damage). And apperantly the sword auto attack did good damage as well.

If you had been willing to learn something you would have opened the spreadsheet and looked at it more than 5 seconds. You can find the dps of any attack there with cast times and delays.

I just want to show thieves that we are worth in dungeons and CoF because warriors dmg isn’t that godly but since you only play WvW you can ignore this completely… Sit back and think further that warriors deal more dmg than thieves.

I wouldnt want to deal with me either. You know I’ll come at you and demand the math, and since you can’t provide it, you should stop making such baseless claims.

And as far as it goes, I dont know which actually has higher DPS if youre only counting fighting single targets, I never did the math, and I also dont know the absolute optimal builds for both classes to increase DPS as high as possible. I just find it hilarious when people make baseless claims like they know whats up, when they honestly have no clue, its fun calling them out on their BS.

You are just another ignorant person who won’t change his mind no matter what.

Specifically to this, I have no opinion on the matter. I have never done the math, I have never seen the math done, I dont know which is better. It’s very easy to change my mind with anything, all you have to do is prove youre right. In this case, provide me with tons of numbers and discussion about traits and gear, then I’ll take you seriously and listen to you. All you’re doing is poorly piggybacking off someone else’s spreadsheet that doesnt prove anything.

Theres no math anywhere that I am aware of. I said this, you quoted me, then you ask where it is? You should learn some basic reading comprehension.

Does it show its work so you can check what it is doing?
Serious question.

But hey, tell us the gear/rune/sigil/trait/buff/food/skill setups youre comparing, what your rotations are, and use the spreadsheet to tell us how much damage they would each do in a 20 second time frame (because thats 2 weapon swaps, so you get to use everything.) That way we can all know what does the most damage.

The math was actually done several times both in general forum and thief forum. Both times, d/d backstab rotation out dps warrior axe/mace + gs rotation by quite a bit assuming both have 25 might 25 vuln (I’ll link one later). Where warrior out dps is in solo cases where they have better and more frequent access to might and vuln. In coordinated groups, that means nothing as you will have 25 might + vuln every fight (as shown in the vid).

The reason why most people think war>all is simply because most people are terrible players and warrior is the easiest class to play while dealing heavy dps. Guard is right up there but they deal less dps than a warrior. That is why most noob groups will say lfg mes, 3x war, guard only. They want easy mode classes to win instead of achieving max efficiency through solid play.

Here, the math was done in this thread

Can you tell me where this spreadsheet comes from, and where the information it contains comes from?

That link doesnt show me anything either.

Why should you use eviscerate as a warrior in a rotation?

You guys arguing numbers are kinda funny. So here’s a crappy pic of mine! This was a couple runs before the video.. but I think 30k+ is only possible in here with the frost spirit not that anyone cares or was wondering, yet.

Why bothering going 15 into trickery? for 1 might fury and swiftness for 10 secs? XD thats nothing :P, consider going into shadowarts for infusions of shadows and finish deadly arts?

7800 hours ingame, and counting.

^ Hey Tower it’s for the Flanking Strikes, it’s easier to keep up first strikes as well.

A victor gives no quarter when the victor shows no clemency or mercy
and refuses to spare the life in return for the surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender)
of a vanquished opponent.

Cause I’m tired and don’t want to discuss with you ~.~ you won’t believe me anyway
You are just another ignorant person who won’t change his mind no matter what.
If you had been willing to learn something you would have opened the spreadsheet and looked at it more than 5 seconds. You can find the dps of any attack there with cast times and delays.

I just want to show thieves that we are worth in dungeons and CoF because warriors dmg isn’t that godly but since you only play WvW you can ignore this completely… Sit back and think further that warriors deal more dmg than thieves.
I’m out of this topic

I wouldnt want to deal with me either. You know I’ll come at you and demand the math, and since you can’t provide it, you should stop making such baseless claims.

And as far as it goes, I dont know which actually has higher DPS if youre only counting fighting single targets, I never did the math, and I also dont know the absolute optimal builds for both classes to increase DPS as high as possible. I just find it hilarious when people make baseless claims like they know whats up, when they honestly have no clue, its fun calling them out on their BS.

You are just another ignorant person who won’t change his mind no matter what.

Specifically to this, I have no opinion on the matter. I have never done the math, I have never seen the math done, I dont know which is better. It’s very easy to change my mind with anything, all you have to do is prove youre right. In this case, provide me with tons of numbers and discussion about traits and gear, then I’ll take you seriously and listen to you. All you’re doing is poorly piggybacking off someone else’s spreadsheet that doesnt prove anything.

… the math is embedded in the spreadsheet.

You do know how spreadsheets work I hope? Figure it out for yourself and stop being such a baby.

You type in stuff and it gives you answers, beyond that I dont know how spreadsheets work. Relying on someone elses spreadsheet and not showing your work is pretty lame, and leads to errors in information.

Not to single you out or anything dude but you’re really picking on technicalities. So as long as you’re criticizing people on basis of nit picky technicalities, you need to be more specific.

What you mean by “Top warrior DPS builds?” Because in a 30/25/0/0/15 build that I run on my warrior alt, you never use eviscerate unless the enemy is almost dead, or you desperately need to refill endurance. The damage output from Berserker’s power (15% damage increase when you have 3 strikes of adrenaline) is better than spamming eviscerate in this specific GS/axe+mace build — which is one of the standard high output DPS build for warriors as far as I know. It would never use eviscerate unless, as I said above, it is a very specific situation. General rotation for that goes: HB, WW, swap, axe 2, mace 4, axe autoattack chain, swap, HB, ww, etc.

Alternatively if you were using something like axe+axe/Axe+mace, run the furious trait, and ran a 30/30/0/0/10 build instead, or a 25/30/0/0/15, then yea eviscerate is worth it since your adrenaline fills almost instantly.
EDIT: I’m not familiar with the 30/0/0/10/30 axe focused build but even there I believe it’s more beneficial to autoattack over eviscerate

Also in terms of “siding with math” as long as both classes are using the same thing it wouldn’t matter if the damage calculation is based on ruby orbs rather than superior runes of the scholar (which is considered to have the higher damage output by like 2-3% if you manage to keep your health consistently over 90%). If the value of Y is greater than the value of Z, then the value of X+Y will also be greater than X+Z regardless of what the value of X is.
