BS warrior in the face
That seems rather contradictory…
On a related note, shortbow is great. I give it 3 months before it has a range of 600.
Healing signet and adrenallin heals alone will completely outheal short bow damage. You will never get a warrior with a decent build to 60% useing a shortbow.
Not even in a million years,you can not slowly wear down warriors, their passive heals alone will screw you.
Agree with Bazzoong here, it’s hard enough to put a dent in them as P/D conditions, stacking 12+ bleeds…

I always rage but never quit.
Grenth gave us Choking Gas for a reason, folks.
EDIT: by the way, I did something like this yesterday, but the Warrior countered by pulling out a rifle, so it escalated pretty quickly. I just switched back to S/P and fought him straight-up.

L2P issue here. Why stack bleed against a Warrior when Poison does it very well. lol.
Full set of 5 unique skills for both dual-wield weapon sets: P/P and D/D – Make it happen
PvE – DD/CS/AC – If that didn’t work, roll a Reaper or Revenant.

lol @ healing signet and passive heal, it’s not as godly as you would think — otherwise ArenaNet wouldn’t need to nerf us just so Warriors can play.

LAWLZ AT YOU, THIEF’S ROLL WARRIORS ALL DAY ERRY DAY.
So I’m trying to L2P. Tell me how this works because I melt every time a warrior touches me. I’m running D/P 0/30/30/10/0. When they get low Endure + run the fk away, as well as immob usually pwning my face. Also, mesmers suck

Well i dont recommend running 0/30/30/10 if your using SoM and d/p.. d/p doesnt have ANY conditions which comes into play when your using SoM.
Are you a stealthy thief?
whats your weapon set(s)?
I am by far not an awesome thief, but i have tested numerous builds, and i know what works for me. Maybe i can send you in the right directiong. Im not the type of thief to be in stealth much. I like to gun it out head on, only stealth i really get is from blinding powder and CnD (cnd-which i rarely use).
Im currently testing with a full blind build atm.
D/p counters wars pretty well. Especially overly aggressive ones. Just be close to them with a bp field under your feet. AA does the Rest. Perhaps Dodge a stun/ reflect bow atks. If he tries to Run, shadowshot. Press some bs in between. Easy
And I’m terrible…
or your playing vs. you tube built thiefs?
jk, nice dmg doe XD
the dmg isn’t even the point of the build. i have three sources of passive regen rolling and 1v1 a thief can’t really do anything. It’s not like this is an uncommon build either.
That being said, i’m enjoying playing a thief atm
ohh ok. obviously you arnt built right, everytime i encounter a warrior 8/10 times
they are either running away or have uber regen and its a stalemate.
I’m running Hide in Shadows with D/P / SB. Fire / force and bloodlust. Are we talking sPvP or WvW? Either way, for sPvP, I’m running scholar’s and for WvW I can’t seem to do enough damage running valk / soldier. I don’t feel comfortable without Blinding Powder, so I guess I’m a stealthy thief?
Sitting in black powder shot only gets me killed because they step out of it, or I think hundred blades gets rid of that first tick of blind.
Most warriors in pvp nowadays are running with a ton of immobs, which you COULD break with shadowshot in this build, but the initiative cost is kitten high and you will be low because of disable shot spam. I can’t see how to beat a warrior without dps (direct or cond.), a reliable immob. break (like Withdraw, IR, or Shadow Strike), poison, and lots of blinds. They also have immunity to conditions, cc, and damage through their stances, which means squishy thieves NEED to run when those are activated…
I would like to see someone post a build that makes killing a tanky warrior easy, but I doubt it exists. The closest I’ve seen so far is that torment stacking/venom sharing build, but i’ve seen warriors just faceroll through their stances for stability, cond. immunity, and lyssa rune cleanse and its GG

Like poison alone will kill him? L2 not assume I don’t apply poison. A bad warrior will cleanse often. You need at least 4-5 conditions to make your bleeds and poison do the damage you need, and then still you better pray they don’t run Lyssa.
As a thief who mains a warrior I have no problems with them, but a good warrior can outplay a P/D thief.

i want anet to come out and say warrior is the teachers pet. cmon. compare their NEW HEAL and healing signet to our new heal and our SoM.
then tell me its not their pet?
