Q:

Hi,

I just wanted to find out if other Thieves were having the same issues as me?

I have major issues using melee main hands due to missing absolutely anyone who is running away. I will be chasing down a player and actually bumping into them and at the same time missing 8 times in a row. Using both auto attack and even heartseeker.

I am not noticeably lagging when this occurs, it just happens always. I’m wondering if anyone has the same experience and If they found a fix for it.

Either I find a fix for it or I suppose I have to change to use pistol/dagger or pistol/pistol, SB as the offhand.

It bascially means I cannot kill anyone who wants to run and I miss maybe 40% of all hits I would think I could normally land if the player moves a lot.

Elementalists and Mesmers must just laugh at me. Had one the other day when I was swinging away at them message me saying “having fun?”…..I answered “not really” Then they grouped me and we had a chat until my side’s zerg turned up.

Well the allmighty heartseeker tends to miss if enemy isnt standing still. And when it comes to auto attack, you should never relly on “auto” part and allways spam it yourself.

No I don’t have any huge issues with lag myself. Yes there is a slight delay, but nothing game breaking.

I do use Battle Ping which helps slightly, maybe you should trial that for a month. Think the trial is still free.

@Karolis I tend to spam auto attack instinctively since my first 80 before the thief is an engineer It still manages to miss though :/

@LOCO I think I will try that. I used to play a rogue in wow and used a similiar tool. It helped me A LOT, thanks I’ll give that a go.
