Hi.
I’m a returning player after 3 years absence. Was wondering how the thief class is these days. Back in the day it was cool enough for a hit ad run playstyle but I preferred my warrior ( and still do, it’s my favorite class lol). So how’s the thief these days ? and what kind of spec are people using for general PvE ?

Also, how’s the daredevil spec ? is it possible to be effective at daredevil without staff ? I’m doing just fine on berserker without using torch on my Warrior.

thanks

Worse than 3 years ago, but better than it will be in 3 years.

Though for PvE anything works – But there’s a lot less thieves around in the new maps for w/e reason, I’ve seen more than 10 in total now (after play for 2 weeks of HoT?), but I’m sure there’s more.

Staff on DrD from what I gather is garbage.

Just stay Warrior or roll a Rev.

lolz ok thanks. Thiefs look kitten and have cool animations though. Sucks that the Ninja class of the game is not appreciated by players these days.

I don’t think its garbage :< could use a few tweaks and fixes (still wondering about WC/DArc range) here and there, but at least on my end, it’s performing pretty well. You won’t be taking on Scrappers or Dragonhunters anytime soon, but I’ve been able to contend with Heralds and Reapers and come out on top most of the time. In the process of picking up staff, I also seem to have forgotten how to play S/d…so yeah I’m pretty much stuck now.

I don’t think it’s the players that don’t appreciate the Thief… at least not the Thief players.

I believe it’s the devs that do not appreciate the Thief.
