Okay I tried to give d/d thief a chance with scorp wire and two signets… Well traits a bit random. Just for fun.
Well they need to be balanced.. Maybe not nerfed. But I am a totally nub in pvp and even though I pwned the other players:/ I used a mix of all my first 5 ability and used HS as gapcloser and finisher.

I find that elementalist might be too weak compared to other prof in general.
I love thieves and just wanted to see if the op rumours in sPvP we true.. And they are:(
Buut maybe that is compesation for not feeling too usefull in pve and wvw (shadow refuge, scorp wire and cluster bombs are what I am therefore.. To res ppl, drag enemies close and bombard the walls).

But maybe the players I was up against just didn’t know to dodge, but do other thief with d/d feel like we got the upperhand?

Kind regardes

Btw I had sb as second weapon so I could flee like a coward if the zerged me:/ not feeling too heroic.

I think thieves are pretty much supposed to be the anti-caster. That is the paper to our scissors, where heavy plated folks are our rock. The great thing about this rock-paper-scissors game is that it is possible for a paper to outduel a scissor, and for a scissor to outduel a rock.

A smart thief will know which target is the best to target and slaughter, followed by a quick exit from combat. You spelled out all of the reasons why your post is premature: you are new to PvP and everyone around you is relatively new to PvP. There are plenty of skilled players out there that would wipe the floor with you, regardless of their class.

In short, I think your post was reactionary in nature. You had a stint in PvP, did fairly well in the situations you were in, and claimed OP. Surely you can see why this is silly.

Well I manage to take down guardians and warriors as well… Well maybe it is silly, but a guildy of mine is a mesmer and claims that thieves are the only prof he can’t take down and that they are too easy to play.
So tried to prove him wrong, but ended with some good game… That being said we might just have had a good team, cause we turned the tide several times and actually ressed each other:)

And if you play enough thief you’ll notice mesmers, engineers and warriors that willkittenyou without much chance to retaliate.

Luckily I don’t run into many of them. They’re mostly in WvW following zergs. But yes, elementalists are just easy targets.

was this in hot joins or tourney? when you are making claims about a class being op or up, did you consider more than just 1v1ing nubs?
