I’m not an elite thief player but it seems if you dodge/evade too much you make people angry.

Or if you stealth to much, or if you do to much dmg, or if you reset and are a skillless 2/3 spamming n00b who cheeses his way to victory. Anything other than that and youre ok. So basically youre only allowed an offhand, and even then…

If you kill them you are OP. That is how it works.

If you do something that is easy and counters them, you are running a cheese build. When you do what a cheese build can do but in a way that requires more skill, if you die you’re a noob, but if you win it’s still a cheese build. If your build or play style enables you to counter a crucial part of their rotation or routine, you are running a cheese build. If they are running a cheese build, and you do it better or counter it, you are running a cheese build. If you burst and kite, you’re running a cheese build. If you tank all their hits, you’re running a cheese build. If you build to have the best of both, you are running a cheese build. If you use a cheese build, you are a noob. If you fail at using a cheese build, you are a noob. If you don’t use a cheese build and fail, you’re a noob. If no one identifies anything cheesy and you win, you’re a noob out of spite.

So, we all run cheese builds. We’re all noobs. We should instead be calling each other "bigger noob" or stating that the other "uses more cheese".

Oh, and of course, if you’ve never fought anyone before, or played any matches, or been to WvW, or even completed any PVE content; have no gear, no weapons, and no trait points allocated and your class is Thief: you are running a cheese build.

TBH I’m surprised they haven’t nerfed sigil of energy, but I don’t think that’ll ever happen.

The frustrating part about such builds is that it can be tough to counter what their doing. You either need to make them run into something like a line of warding to they get interrupted, or just hope for a lucky immobilize.

Weakness would help out, but you have to land the ability that causes weakness, which they just evade.

Of course, using such a build means you won’t be killing them as much as they aren’t killing you. The only true application for it is node holding in sPvP, and even then it can fall short of other things.

They are removing capricorn though… could make some infinite evade builds to hold ruins that would occupy whole teams for the duration of a match.

Actually your only allow the off-hand ( cause I’ve seen some one get kills while rocking only a mh dagger -_-), blind folded, hopping around with one leg, with someone gripping your testicles…. Still even then …..

Did you watch till the end of that video? The last fight was him only using CnD, no mainhand equipped (if you’re talking about the guy I think you’re talking about).

NO WEAPONS ALLOWED AT ALL!

…. oh wait…. TeamBattleAxe with perplexity runes and fireworks…

NO TRAITS OR RUNES!

When you spend all day dodging, when do you deal damage?

I mean isn’t this exactly what S/D Evade-spam was about? And that’s no longer meta for a reason.

And, if we die, they call us noobs.

Enemy is most vulnerable after they attack. Just a basic principle of some fighting games.

I have no clue what’s meta these days.

They can’t beat us, they can’t join us, so they just hate us.
It is a sad truth in this world.

but ppl keeps calling me S/D evade so chees or prolly theyre angry for not hitting their burst on me “i said s/d is dead now the new cheese build is s/p pistol whip spam!”

even if you Play a build without stealth and fully concentrate on dodging, your still be hated … so sad

and actually you can hit while dodging just needs perfect timing exclude flanking strike

Funny part is on our forum is a bunch of “omg my glass cannon (insert class) got killed in under 5 sec when I wasn’t paying attention OP”. However you look on other class forums of what classes are hard to fight for them and everyone’s like “I eat thieves for breakfast lunch and dinner”. It just didn’t make sense, makes me chuckle though
