Q:

Arena net has stated that they want to increase the base on some attacks and they still want thieves to be able to burst down a class..

My questions are
Dancing dagger
Pistol Whip
Damage be increased or reverted as combined with quickness as they were overpowered. Due to the nerf I think it’s fair they get looked at once again.
Shortbow Trick Shot, the fact that it can be dodged from just strafing right and left make it severely nerfed, is it possible to increase the speed to it’s activation time (0.25 as it’s stated and its 0.95+) or at least increase the range to be up to par with the rangers shortbow?

The short answer is if you want damage roll another class: warrior, mesmer, necro, elementalist, even guardian. Though I’d suggest you make a thief and take him to the mists to try it out and experiment with more than a backstab build. That way you could form your own opinions and see first hand. But my opinion right now is that thief is only good for role-playing a ninja, until the class sees buffs.

Condition damage build.<3 yes they nerfed caltrops because anet likes to be a jerk to any and every thief build ever, but still a very effective build. If u can get in the middle of a zerg, pop caltrops, spam deathblossom,and then shadowstep deathblossom again, then pop ult.= bags on bags on bags, and yeah u will get down, but rally is op
