There is a trait, that nobody uses which is called instant reflexes ^^ 2 seconds of invulnerability
When I started building my thief around sPvP, I’ve made up my mind about the traits and how I should bring fights situations to benefit a maximum from them.
To me, instant reflexes is not viable actually. Because it requieres a lot for few results.
Playing suicidarily ain’t a so bad idea in fact. As we can’t profit from it well enough in other manners.
The time we notice the proc, it’s nearly end. This is enough to proves ours is not good. Notice once again, to use it we must trick here because the trait is weak.
Also I want to bring attention over those who have such.
Warrior & rangers. Both of them own it for good reasons. One because it must survive to assassinate attempts while shooting from distance. The other to survive melee.
About us, it’s blur. To survive in melee ? But we are not supposed to stay in melee. We are thieves. Basically, if you can see a thief, he’s gonna have a bad time.
However, we have not the best tools to success our basic role. So we become duelist, or we are the shadow of our class. (lol)
With equal gear, being forced to assault someone over 1-2mins unable to face anyone, is not a good sPvP end. During that time enemies keep earning points while defending.
Wanna see thieves doing good thief things ? Go watch it in WvW. The max stats are capped in another manner.
Anyone with legendary, ascended gears + food and a good know of the game will kill nearly everyone in few assaults. A cool guy with only exotic stuff ain’t gonna stand long.
Classes are more interessing to talk about sPvP. Their own luggages are more representative here.
Ps : A possibility to allow only thieves to dodge without moving could be great. With “Bounding dodger” it would become famous.
