But since thief highly counters mesmer

Never noticed this, 4/4/0/0/6 shatter.

And no to your request, 3s stability from a stolen ability from a steal that might not even land and clones usually deal with Aegis. You can also make a build focusing on destroying boons if it bothers you that much.

Maybe you never faced good thieves then, cause overall, thief is the hard-counter to mesmers at the moment.

Might not even land? Either that mesmer can dodge really good, or the thief is just failing to spam f1.

Make a build to counter a skill? Let’s just not do that shall we?
The stability and aegis are both not in the description, while the buffs are already long enough. The moment you think you can counter the thief by using I-wave when he uses his shadow refuge, it wont push him out cause he uses the cheap steal skill. The skill is already strong enough without it, why put both aegis and stability on it too? It’s not like mesmer gets stability from the signet of inspiration. It’s actually funny cause mesmer has almost 0 access to stability.

Thanks for all the opinions and advice! I’ve tried it now for a short run with my power gear just got the traits and filled up utility. I immediatly replaced Skelk venom with withdrawl. I felt so crippled with Skelk, doesn’t look good. And with all utility slots used on venoms and no stunbreaker, ohkittenhelp skills and so…Gonna try it more tommorow, need to get used to it ^^
There were few situations with multiple basiliks venoms, immobilize and chill…had one engi locked out till he droped dead…
Anyway ill post up news here

last night, you mean late night when you got yourself blind

I do agree with both of you, but im leaning towards godz opinion, i do see the option after initial pushing and boon striping to engange with venoms and cc few of them and spiking. But all in all i’ll just have to test it myself and brain a bit for the possible tactics of using it. So you suggested dire gear. What about weapon sets? Shortbow is one, any suggestions for the second.

and for the 6/0/6/0/2 build, what to take in trickery? uncatchable or thrill of crime?

If it procced vulnerability than it’s not too fast cnd. It should proc blinding too.

If i understood correctly.

Is it prefered to run venom build with condition gear or it doesn’t really matter? I can see that poison is more usefull just as less healing and not dmg wise. And does that dmg comes from thief cond dmg or the persone that did the strike?

I could maybe go for venom share and 1-2 utility venom. With the normal dmg build?

Hello fellow thieves,

I could really use your help now. My guild is starting to do an organized WvW raid with balanced groups. We have a few thieves and now im trying to see how to make us efficient.
First thing that got in my mind is Venom Share builds, but i never tried them and im not really sure how do they fit in that kind of gameplay. How is it played? Do you use all of them at once or time them one by one. Waiting for first push then after stabilities are gone, you time them one by one?
What weaponsets would be good for venom builds? Does condition damage work on venoms, conditions from venoms? Does condition duration work on conditions from venoms? If conditions from venoms scale with condition damage do they use thieves condition damage or from the person that inflicted them to enemy?

Besides venom share build i saw the Ninja Nurse build that seems good, i’ll test it later today to see how that works and how efficcient is to ressurect allies with it, or is it better just to rally them with kills and war banners.
Do you think one Ninja nurse is enough for cca 20 ppl raid? And others to go venom share.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Cheers,
Lexiar

Yeah i submitet ticket 3 days ago, after i made this post i found the sticky…
Yeah well, at least to reset the boots skin so i can use it on something else, and some tip that not all armors can change color would be great…
Making mistakes like this takes few years from liftime.

350702:Magitech armor – dye
Been more than 3 days, i allready made a topic about this but then i found this post.

Hello,

so I just bought my first skin from gem store(magitech medium armor skin) and used it on armor to transmute it. The problem is that I change colors on everything and it saves, but the boots are always reseting. It just doesn’t work. From map chat i found out that some armors doesn’t change colors? If that is true I now just flushed my gems into toilet? Is it possible to reset it? I didn’t pay for that! Is there anything you can do to help me?

Thank you,
Robert
