Or maybe they don’t want you speccing for duels and don’t want you occupied with it.

The problem with that outlook would be that guilds using 5v5 servers as duel servers is getting in the way of players who actually want to play 5v5.

No, no it isn’t. Go join another room.

I guess we’re forgetting that people want Deathmatch-style PvP modes.

I guess you’re forgetting that it’s not?

And on that topic, you really can’t play deathmatch games as a glass cannon. Everyone would have to have a balanced surv/damage build like this thief build.

Let me start off by saying that this build is most certainly not useless if done right. It is, point blank, NOT an easy spec to play. It is the most fast paced of any build I’ve tried, and there are a lot of ways to make the actual spec. I have gone through 7-8 different builds and have over 2000 games as a condi thief. 110-130 bleed ticks depending on might stacks, usually around the 120 mark. 2100 tough, strong self healing that becomes the best self healing in the game against a few people or anything else I can hit. As lelouch said, you don’t have to kill to be effective, keeping a point neut for an extra 20 seconds and holding 2 people while your team gets the other 2 points is more than enough. After that the spec is also very good in team fights if you comp the team right. You don’t run a pure bleed spec as the only condition spec.

Or maybe they don’t want you speccing for duels and don’t want you occupied with it. The empty rooms are more than enough, and while I agree that dueling helps you learn how to beat your opponent it doesn’t mean it needs to be included. I already see too many 1v1 specced fails in games and there isn’t even a 1v1 feature. Not to mention spvp itself isn’t conducive to 1v1’s, and isn’t made to be played with the “kill or be killed” mind set. In real matches there are other options then to just die in a 1v1 situation.

“Dear bunkers, enjoy your last glory days.” Lol, you wish. What PvP games do you know of that focus around low survivabilty and high burst? The objective here is to have a strong balance of survivabilty, damage, and cc that combines well with your team mates survivabilty, damage, and cc. The only real glass cannons that have a chance have always been the ones that play at ranged and kite.
