Ok so other classes can spam: (note auto attack 1 skill doesn’t count !)
ele/engineer: 4×4 skills=16 skills f1,f2,f3,f4 each with 4 skills
rest: 2×4=8 skills
thieves: spam x2 black poweders= 12 ini (all your ini actually unless trait)
OR 4 HS, (3ini each)
OR 2C&D

warrior has highest dps / toughness and vitality ! & awsome flags with imba boons
thief: medium armor/some dps/ lowest vitality , almost non-existant boon support
but we have stealth ! …. but it is bad vs pve mobs now…
agility !….no…unless you spend 15 points trait
burst !….not very good in pve…
downed skill 3 = useless in pve

so?

To be honest I don’t really die often and do relatively well, if we could see deaths v kills the ratio would be pretty high. I don’t really have any major complaints about thieves although I do think, like many classes, we’re kind of forced to use certain build elements/weapons. But ey – oh that and the point assignments from traits I spec high into trickery but do not want that condition damage I’d rather it was elsewhere.

The ultimate counter to thief QQ.

Roll another class and count the minutes until you’re back on your thief.

I actually took a Warrior (crafting/space) alt into PVP after doing some research. I felt like I was in slow motion the entire time. Or maybe it’s just the way Norn females run, but I felt like when fighting as well. Just…clunky.

Needless to say, I was desperate to get back to the graceful ballet that was my Thief. <3

But how much damage those skill deal?
My autoattacks with Dagger deal 1k>1k>2-3k (with crit, but i have a great chance to crit, so i hit those almost every time)
Heartseeker can deal 4k when enemies are low, CoD hits 3-4k and the next strike hits 7k

1+1+2+3+4+7 = 18k damage in, say, 7-8 seconds
Other classes have cooldowns, and the most powerful skills generally take 15-60 secs before they can be used again. That means I can deal a minimum of 36k to a max of 136k damage depending on the class “combo”

Thief is a great class imo, and smart use of iniciative is the one of the things that separate good players from the best players
