Oh hey, quick reminder, eles and guardians base hp is 11k hp, a 14-16k Backstab is overkill; here, let me show you the proves (not my video, I believe this aspect of thieves should go away, no one should have the right to one shoot anyone out of the blue, no counterplay at all)

Quick reminder, you have aegis and protection, thieves don’t. Warrior kill shot is pretty big too. It’s a tired old topic and nobody needs reminding about it at all, especially not the trolls. We knew ascended would give bigger damage spikes so nothing new to complain about when it happens.

Quick reminder this isn’t the Thief subforum.

Quick reminder, aegis is one heatseeker less from the how many? 2-3 more you can spam in a row.
lol… good video :] loved the music!

quick reminder, aegis doesnt block backstab (the more you know!) since it will say “block” followed by the backstab nonetheless

Quick reminder, if you see the block pop and nothing is around you press dodge.
Awesome, I sometimes get bored and run the instagib build. Really funny but completely useless, most decent roamers will be able to kill you, and most 2v1, 3v1. Still fun to do tho!

If it says block, thats exactly what it did, and you failed to pay attention enough and realize you were being attacked, stood there and let yourself get hit again.

If Backstab only hit for 11k, that’s not high enough to send you to Grenth’s. The extra damage insures that you make it there.
Seriously though, why are you looking at “BASE HP” and not “EHP”?
Troll stinks…that’s why we kill the one in Queensdale all the time.
[…]no counterplay at all)
Quick reminder, if you didn’t see any possibility of counterplay you are doing it wrong.
And the thief has the same base HP.
I like the part where a single izerker takes away more than half his health.
hahahah, i love how after it being suddenly moved to the thieves forum is suddenly became “easily counterable and ineffective” but while it was in the general topics it was getting upvoted.
@at whoever said “block and dodge”, are you aware that the medium reaction time for a human is around .3-.4 seconds, and that backstab reapplication is almost instant? Sop making excuses……that is just not balanced.
The class is underpowered for the most part (except D/D and S/D) but the insta giving needs fixing
entertaining! good video editing.
are people really still complaining about burst thief? I can’t even remember the last time I ran into one of those.
i wanna see that 8k or 9k+ dmg in spvp! my highest crit % in PvE/WvW is 122% (with food) but in spvp 57% so thats why its possible to do that very high burst dmg in WvW have u seen eviscerate for 15- 16k? and 20k Dmg of warrior’s kill shot!?

Nope, just Fortus because he refuses to l2p.

Warrior’s ranged ‘backstap’ you mine as well call it is scary.
Minding my own business fighting a guard when suddenly the majority of my HP just instantly vanishes from a warrior on top of tower. o.O If I wasn’t in soldiers it woulda been a 1shot I’m sure.
Then of course there’s this spvp stuff. I’ve been hit with the evil 20k killshot before too. Not to mention wars speced for regen are almost impossible to kill.

Don’t forget these as well. Not gonna say thief, warrior, or necro is op, but hits like this aren’t unique to the thief:
(watch at 2:48-3:00 but no need to watch much farther than that)
What do you expect? OP is an ele. This is the class that a few months ago was insanely overpowered. Now that it has been brought down to be more in line with other classes in PvP, a lot of eles are complaining.
@OP- Go to WvW. Only some nerfs were implemented there. The class is still quite strong and a necessary part of any good zerg.
Elementalist can do some 10k crits as well

Warrior A/Sh 16k-20k crits

Warrior Rifle 20k+ crits (1500 range)

No thief would be impressed by that gimmicky build and while it is funny it’s combination of specific elements make it far from practical. The build is a novelty and not one that does any favors for a legitimate discussion about backstab or thieves in general.
nice funny vid
but all you see is player who doesnt dodge and standing and not aware their surrounding
i am too got hit by 8-9k spike backstab thieves but that’s life
and also i am doing 15k burst dmg with torment+confusion+pistol whip if i catch BS thief
so its not OP as you can see low hp low armor so its high reward/higher risk build
What a piece of Art this thread is.
I love you guys, especially the noobs complaining for burst thieves
I’ll call Teletubbies to give you some love…
Whoa, my video is suddenly all over the place
Anyway, here’s how you counter me: dodge, once. If the initial burst fails, I’ve just burned all 5 of my cooldowns and half my initiative for nothing. I have 12k health, no stunbreaks and my only source of stealth is C&D. Unless really caught off guard, there is no excuse for losing against a build like this.
Surviving and getting kills with a build that glassy is a form of art. I encourage anyone in doubt to see for theirselves; the build is in the descriptions and while the numbers are slightly lower, the burst is still more than enough in sPvP.
In the meanwhile, may I link you to this beautiful ele video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFLZeMQFaAQ
I believe the highest crit there was 18k ^^

LOL My comment in the video , asd
Any class in this game can burst… How many times do i have to say this. So if ur running a squishy BURST build be prepared to get BURSTED
ROFLMAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAOOOO
You all made my day/week and monthah.
Can this thread be sticked?!
Where are all the THIEVESAREOPDELETETHEM kittens?
:D
I saw a youtube video!
It had numbers in it!
Those numbers are bigger than some other numbers!
Nerf something!
