Greetings fellow permastealth/permaevasion/150 trait point Thieves!
Following the 15/10 patch I started theory crafting a new build that takes advantage of some of the most unused Thief traits in combination with a never before seen set of runes to create a new Thief build to suit the current meta and the substantial abilities of the Thief profession!
Introducing… the NINJA NURSE!
The Ninja Nurse is a daring new build that takes advantage of the incredibly overpowered Shadow Protector (SP) and Merciful Ambush (MA) traits combined with the Superior Runes of Mercy to resurrect fallen allies in the blink of an eye thanks to the mobility and regeneration offered by Infiltrator’s Arrow (IA), MA, and SP!
Strategy
- Stay at the edge of the fight with your Shortbow and maintain pressure on the classes that are actually capable of killing your allies with Trickshot and Choking Gas.
- Choking Gas is a ridiculously OP skill in the current meta and is great at destroying the regeneration offered to the inferior Warrior and Guardian professions by reducing the effectiveness of their pathetic healing abilities.
- Using the amazing buff to Body Shot (P/x #2) and immobilise stacking, you can completely control your enemies for a bare minimum of 1 second, allowing your Warrior with burst much higher than you’re capable of to eliminate them!
- Use your P/P #4 Headshot ability to interrupt your opponents most telegraphed skills, such as the Asuran Skullcrack and other abilities that are extremely easy to tell the difference between.
- If you see an ally get downed, spring in to action! Interrupt the stomp with Headshot, switch to Shortbow, IA onto your ally, drop Blinding Powder or Shadow Refuge and resurrect them straight away! This is where your true strength lies, and the reason this build is so bloody OP!
- If you’re directly focussed, don’t worry! According to the logic used by the players of PvP who hate and despise you, Shortbow #3 provides you with infinite evasion thanks to your extremely broken and OP initiative mechanic which, again, because it’s so broken and OP, means that you have absolutely ZERO COOLDOWNS!
- In the event that your enemy manages to get some conditions onto you, don’t worry about it! You’re OP, I’m sure you’ll manage!
So, what do you guys think? Is this build good enough to shake up the meta and force teams to comp around their Thieves and create a counter to the Ninja Nurse? Discuss!
This thread and build are obviously a joke and parody, please, for crying out loud, don’t take it seriously!
That being said, I would love if someone could test it just to see how viable it is to screw around on! :P
NOTE: I didn’t come up with the name myself, the name is courtesy of Kata.6795 in this post.
