yea warrior has one shot to get you downed in seconds if that combo is interupted or miss then they are sitting ducks especiall glass cannon warriors i run S/D set up for my thief just use infiltrators strike and auto attack them to death its pretty funny.
Ye , siting ducks on top of a tower, 1500 range , so dangerous..
Adrenaline to extreme.3 ways to get adrenaline to full, can fire kill shot every 8 seconds, 1500 almost twice the range of pistols, freakin amazing!
Also, kill shot is the same damage as backstab (11 more damage to be precise!) when you fully spec into it!
tested it , is overrated , not that viable, i killed few from top of the tower but they got instant ressurected.
In open field it fails 80% of the time , obscured , out of range dodged.
rifle is awsome in open field with crack shot trait and volley, you can output nice damage , and the knockback from rifle is nice, but not the killshot.
compared with thief dual pistol , rifle do 3 x more damage in zerg vs zerg. Compared with thief short bow rifle is 20% better for single target 70% less efficient on aoe.
On short : 30vs 30 situation : thief – i jump with infiltration arrow betwen 30 enemy’s -use blinding powder and 3 cluster at my location – and retreat, use trick shot from behind.- if we win i get 22-25 kills out of 30
30 vs 30 situation : warrior : i use pierce trait (crack shot ) find an target with 2*3 enemy’s behind it , when i get targeted i move back. at end of the pvp if we win i get 6 – 10 kills,
In 1 vs 1 situations.
vs thief is very hard to land it , volley is better
vs other warrior or guardian i’ve killed guardians with kil shot,i have killed warriors also mostly after i knocked them back
vs rangers.* is trick , pet must be behind you in order to land it on ranger, or pet will absorb it, same happens with mesmer clones.
vs eng /necromancers – is viable
vs elementarist – hard to land it since they always knock you down /back , evade /etc.
So over all kill shot is not an win button
