The problem of Eviscerate is the Sigil of Intelligence.
I think this is completely ridiculous, this is basically what Anet told us in their livestream, that Thief counters Mesmer because a Thief stops a Mesmer from keeping his clones up. Lets break it down as to why Thief > Mesmer.
1) Teleports, for every one you have a thief has one more.
2) Stealth, Thieves have a much more reliable stealth than Mesmers do.
3) Steal and more importantly the 5 point minor that poisons on steal, this stops a Mesmer from healing.
4) S/D evades mostly nullify our damage, a shatter Mesmer can hit way harder than a Thief, but you actually have to hit them. S/D and S/P both utilize evades in their melee attacks meaning your best bet at bursting a Thief is when he is out of range, which can lead us to wasting utilities.Hence if you are a Mesmer, in a tournament you can beat the thief by catching them off guard, or you can outplay them if they are D/P. Most of the time however, fighting Thieves as a Mesmer in particular is a lost cause.
+1, and great post of Supcutie too.
I absolutely agree. It’s frustrating when you depend on this ability to do something you’ve been planning all this fight … and fails.
