Rolling healing skill? What? Where is this skill?!

Also, ToT is your guild, right? I swear I’ve seen you guys around though I don’t know if you’re on Yak’s or another server.

I use Withdraw as my healing skill.

TOT is a very small guild on SOS and We are from Australia,,,,(250ms+ping)

Most of them have quited this game as they are not happy with the dungon rewards.

However, I personally think they didnt know how to play without traditional mmo trinity…Sad,,,

The Hide in Shadows is a better heal for the P/D thief. What if you fight a competent opponent who knows how to avoid your C/Ds? Trust me I have played P/D plenty in sPvP so when I see enemy thieves doing P/D builds on my thief or an alt, it is quite easy to counter and when you do that they have no real source of damage. HiS gives you a reliable way to get off sneak attacks when low on ini as well.

Try playing a few other cookie cutter builds of other classes in pvp for a day or two. Will make you 100% better as a thief. Saw you attacking an elementalist with magnetic aura on for example.

Otherwise was a very good video and nice to see another thief without shadow refuge. Did you know that if you did take shadow refuge, you could use it for a lifesteal shot x5, 5 bleeds, and a stealth. Also could use it to revive down teammates or other things.

Keep up the good work.

I like how u make it sound like you gotta depend on HiS and its cooldown to use sneak attack and CnD is completely useless

He is just making the point that most P/D thieves don’t use Withdraw for a good reason. HiS means another opportunity for Sneak Attack in any situation that C&D isn’t a viable choice (CC’d, out of range, out of initiative, etc.) Most P/D thieves also run heavy Shadow Arts, which gives HiS a huge leg up due to stealth synergy.

Withdraw is the kitten. The only thing I miss about HIS is the bleed/poison/burn cure. I don’t miss many CnD and when I realize I’m fighting a good dodger, I try to fake them out a little.

Gaining the immob/cripple cure is pretty even, and considering you can pop it twice as often (!), you’re in good shape.

Withdraw + vigor on healing trait = ~5 dodges (with the endurance return trait). And Sigil of energy on swap, you get some more.

If you really fumble some CnDs, then you have refuge, dodges, blinds, and runaway heartseeker on your D/D swap.

Why rely on a 30s CD for stealth? You can’t even say that 30s CD contributes to more damage.

Glad to see all your ideas.

Withdraw is my personal preference. I used HIS but felt hard to handle the 30s CD and the Casting time when i was in combat.

Sometimes i couldnt get any heal and stealth after i used HIS….Any of guys experienced some thing?

Gav you are right! withdraw +vigor on healing is great!
