Hello guys!
Pay attention to rangers. If you get caught pants down with a LB ranger rapid firing you from 2k range, no amount of stealth can save you. They bend over to a stiff breeze, though, so you should be alright.
Since meditation guards are pretty much nonexistent in roaming enviroments, you basically got to watch out for engineers only, especially if they got condi duration food up. If engi isn’t distracted by other people or completely stupid you’re in for a hard time. Rest of professions and builds offer an even matchup for a thief.
As for killing a thief in WvW, if the thief knows what he’s doing he’ll either have to commit a blunder like allowing himself to get CC’d out of his shadow refuge or flattened by a zerg. Things you need to watch for are hard CC at low HP and condition overload right after exiting stealth.
Entirety of this post assumes you run D/P.
