If you’re talking about condi mesmer, no – staff thieves level the playing field making the fight pretty darn equal, albeit boring as heck.

If you’re talking about power mesmer, Thieves in general only counter the metabattle mesmers who don’t know how to diversify their stats. 100% berserker for the win! Gotta 1shot errbody or its useless, amirite?

I’m sure you’re still learning how to play a mesmer, keep practicing!

Tbh they should have changed their reasoning to something like: we want to motivate thief players to random dodging thus we added 6 sec reveal on nearly instant ranged spell!

At least DHs gets eaten by necros and co.

Thief’s updated shortbow counters DH in a big way, so who needs to stealth in a bow vs bow shootout?

They’d be lucky to use any skill inside CG given that each of their skill has casting time. The damage increase of Trick Shot vs poisoned target will force them into defensive.

U must be watching experienced thiefs beat up on new dhs, who run all traps and never leaves lb

semantics – I watch a new Thief beats up experienced DH who runs all traps and never leaves LB. You see, it’s hard to break old habits especially the OP kind.

Dhs running all traps are very easy to kill, especially if their the new ones who drop them all at once and immediately activate all their virues. Those were the dhs u probably saw lose to a thief

The unblockable aspect of shortbow can overwhelm a DH because they rely heavily on block. Whitle them down and watch them slowly but surely use up their heals and resets. Then finish them off.

The aoe area of choking gas is fairly forgiving and with the initial impact can transfer venoms as well. DH condi clear based on block is ineffective against choking gas so this will do a lot to keep pressure up. The potential for daze against DH is pretty strong given how it can eat through stability pretty quickly.

For example if you burn out their blocks and stability you can land Mace stolen skill for full effect. That alone can be a huge advantage.
