Thieves ruining pvp

The reason is that they have everything.Huge damage,huge mobility and huge survivability.A deadly combination that no profession should have if you want to call your game “balanced”.Screenshot is below

6,038 damage with only 1skill while using my knight gear on my elementalist.I’ve also been hit for 9,000+ before.Seems fair

An elementalist commenting on the thief having everything is funny. Elementalist is by far a more rounded class for all play types, while a thief has a narrower applicability to group play.

This^^^.

I should also add that thieves have very little CC or AOE and in general can’t contribute much in large scale fights compared to an Elementalist or Warrior. Thieves are supposed to excel in mobility, single target DPS and be very hard to catch at the same time. It is their role to excel in small scale fights. If you were playing as tank d/d ele and 1v1 the glass cannon thief then you have no excuse and its an learn to play issue. If you were playing as a glass staff ele then it obviously would have been harder if the thief knew what he was doing and because staff builds are only meant for large scale fights.
