Main Reason why HoD can get so many points is because they have a lot of player from Austrilia and other ocieanic countries.

So explain why SBI and HOD zergs stand next to each other in open fields without ever attacking each other, and then both swarm JQ together?
It’s not an alliance, but I’ve certainly NEVER seen SBI fight HOD unless there was literally nothing else to do. SBI is playing for second, they have never beaten JQ without riding HOD’s coattails.
Also, I’ve seen SBI and HOD players both set up ballistas on the inside of the cliff you land on at borderlands puzzles. I’ve seen both set up ballistas, catas and AC in the EB jumping puzzle.
This is probably the most pathetic whine thread I’ve seen in a long time. Enjoy never winning a match without HoD carrying you.
“You just don’t know the counter to the class.”
Thieves aren’t dungeon bosses. When was the last time you heard someone say “Oh man, I can’t beat this Elementalist. It’s so fast and deadly. I wish I knew the counter for it.” Same for almost any other class.
Yes maybe some some skills need balancing. Not only for thief but for all classes. But let’s be honest HS is not so OP that it always give the thief a instant win and impossible to counter. When looking at thief I would say that sword/pistol skill, can’t remember name, is way worse. The one that stuns you and does some flurry is way harder to deal with then HS.
Well not rly, as long as u move its hard to get stuned with that sword/pistol combo. HS is lot worst since he practicly teleport u on target and hit it and has insta cast.
Even tho i have no problems with killing thieves i understand ppl rage. As ranger with thief is just matter of timing, who time his skills better will win. Not sure if other classes can say the same tho.
What is rly anoying with thieves is their mobility. Tons of blinks/invis/blinds makes them impossible to kill if they ever decide to just walk away.
But then again thats what thief is all about. Sneaky fast little kitten so i guess they are fine.
Heartseeker is the most telegraphed ability in the entire game… it also has one of the slowest animations (the only thing slower off the top of my head is clusterbomb, which is just silly to compare to though). If you can’t dodge a heartseeker spamming thief your reflexes are not very good.
the thief is NOT one of the most easiest classes to grasp. Sorry. And No I will quantify my statement since you didn’t bother either.
My first 80 was an elementalist. Here I am swapping through attuenments.. Trying to keep track of which is on cd and which is not. I need some extra condition removal and healing, water. I need high damage, get into fire. Oh no that melee is to close to me.. I need some control and protection, earth. etc etc etc. Regardless of weapon and spec you are in a constant state of juggling all this stuff around.
Enter the thief…
So last night I feel like making a thief. I go through the tutorial/story area. I hit level 2 and immediately go to spvp. I throw together a dagger/pistol with pistol/pistol spec. I don’t touch a target dummy and go immediately into spvp.
Put on some poison, pop and assassin signet. Spam HS and watch crap die. Start getting hurt and throw down a stealth field. Watch my teammates take them down a notch.. come out of the stealth field and spam HS and watch crap die. Get into a few situations that require ranged, spam unload and watch crap die.
So I have been playing an elementalist since release.. Spvp, wvw, pve.. dungeons.. Trying out every weapon, every spec possible.
First time using a thief… get the highest score I have ever gotten in spvp, first place overall, lots of kills, a single death..
How do you think I feel about my Elementalist now?
So you spammed heartseeker? That’s the absolute worst thing you could do as a dagger thief (other than when they’re 33% or lower). It’s the same damage as autoattacks, and you said you were using pistol offhand so there’s no need to use HS as a gap closer.
Basically you pubstomped bad players and you think the class is op because of that. Stop basing balance claims on sPvP pubstomping. Tournament play – specifically high level tournament play – is the only way to gauge balance, and thieves are not the godmode masters of it. They’re strong roamers, and that’s it.
Further, your whole perspective is from a class that is countered by thieves, specifically the one class that thieves do the best against. Now go try a guardian, warrior or engineer and laugh at the thieves who tickle you as you violate them in mean ways.
One more thing, glass cannon thieves often die to aoe in fights. They have ~15k hp and no toughness. They are the squishiest thing in the game. They have to be played as an assassin, jump in, kill someone, get out. That’s a role in all mmo pvp. Bad players universally complain about classes that fill that role in all games. Good players know how to beat it.
