You’re fighting the same way a light test dummy golem would fight then, if you’re using a mesmer you have it easy really… just interrupt the revenant, trust me I’ve lost to mesmers this way, they can make you waste energy like no other profession, they can get out of stun with staff 2 (including jade winds), and they can always daze UA if they run MoD, probably the hardest professions for revenant currently are MoD Chronomancers/Mesmers, S/P thief, stun double distance dodge DD well played power Rangers, and Valkyrie Celestial Signet Reapers and from all of those the latter is the hardest match up and even then Mesmers and Reapers have A TON (well mesmer actually has little room) of room to screw up while Revenants are dead if they take bad decisions with their utilities.
UA killed lots of thieves so far, not a problem , same as mesmer untill he ran mass invis ,torch ,decoy . Staff 2 BREAKSTUN ? Oh my how many years are gone and they still think its a breakstun…
Reapers havnt been problem because of free chill removal , havnt seen power rangersThieves can get off really easily if they use shadow shot, headshot and black powder so given they have enough initiative they can cancel UA just by blinds or daze, I also got caught during the initial animation with basilisk venom, the funny thing was it did go off after the effect went off.
Technically Phase Retreat isn’t a stunbreak but well, even if you’re still stunned for 3 seconds, how can you get there fast if you don’t have a gap closer? not everyone has a 1200 range attack for revenant it requires either using Hammer or Phase traversal which is 20 energy IMO I’d rather wait for the mesmer to try and mage a counter than wasting 20 energy I might need to survive, besides if you get off Jade Winds the Revenant more than likely won’t have enough energy to use Phase Traversal.
Never used jade winds in duels because its requier 50% energy and mesmer or some1 else probably have a breakstun so decision to use it would be fatal for you(unless u swap on another legend and gain 50% energy ) . Gap closer? 4 axe is free Phase traversal 20 energy its a joke paired with 1 slamming on sword because you do high amount of damage and can use right after that UA .
Blind block only first UA hit ,if thief would spam headshot he will lose all initiative and die to everything else youv got.
No ,seriously, why u defend this broken skill ? You havnt found celestial variation or never used hammer? Or you temped to use 1 skill to win ?

About MoD , you rely only on UA when playing revenant ? How about to force him use mantra when you using Shiro stance and breakstun stun and use your precious UA after? Or i have even better idea! DODGE (free stab?) and cast it ? So much problems to get 1 stab stack after dodge and finally cast it… pls
Reapers havnt been problem because of free chill removal , havnt seen power rangers

S/D thieves 500% counter mesmers at the moment. You can beat one! but if you beat an S/D thief then he should uninstall. The build allows them to constantly gap close on us, which is one of our main forms of defence, and in their opening sequence they can drop us to 50% and poison us. That is why it’s hard to fight them, because you cannot predict instant teleports, so you have to engage them first…which is a stupid idea, or predict how they will react.
I have now started raking mirror images just soI can wreck thieves who teleport away with a blink shatter combo, it is my main goal to beat them whenever at the moment
my experience tells me what this lame , why ? u wasting 2 breakstun (which not always ready) even in melee use mirror images and f1 this is also waste (most of time thief evades , stab evade stab evade ) + low damage if u dont have tonn of might
best option run away/blink away/ portal out of there
but first part about thief is true (btw full SB thief will kill u anyway and u cannot do anything with it, just run or die)
Totaly agree with shimmerless , what restorative illsuions doing in phantasm line GRANDMASTER tier ?
this clones dont have brains, exploded in halfway to target, staff and gs clones just stand and pewpew where they were created , interrupt something with F3 extremely kittenly if u casted it before and he began cast when clones came to him, this not outplaying from mesmer,luck and mistake from enemy
most of casts have too low cast time or even dont have it at all(acro/trick thief say hello and laugh).Since anet added pretty high amount of ‘’evade fact abilities’’ without cast animation interrupt something is very very difficult, aegis,blocks, stability, high cd interrupt abilities,chaos storm not provide 100% daze – everything against interrupt builds , i heard new trait doesnt affect thieves, let them spam thier abilities without problems

Sorry for my terrible english but lets talk about not-perma-vigor first
steal 13 sec vigor (21 sec cd) ,6 seconds from thier instacasting-evade healing skill(15 sec cd) = 19 not even close to permament right ?
everyone know about thier trait for endurance return after dodge + signet = they can dodgerolling whole day.
They jump on thier targets through walls with steal , infiltrator strike hit and back , hit and back , u even dont have a chance to hit them with thier buffed initiative regeneration they are just spam it.
Just look at this 2 hits how i suppose to kill him after that? just instant 2 hits
http://i.imgur.com/mq5hiVv.jpg (i dont know why its not working lol)
i cant go bow like they are and spam 3 till my distortion/stealth/heal up
Almost forgot about eles : 1 min of vigor
http://i.imgur.com/XZ6qYQd.jpg < really dont know what i did wrongdo people really complain about vigor? jesus
so you got unlucky and got crit’d with both sigils of air and fire procing on you. do you always throw your hands up and give up when you lose 3/7ths of your health or are you making a special case to whine about thieves? it seriously sounds like you have a bad case of “i got rolled pls nerf everything”
someone definitely playing s/d thief … who is this can be…
owaw , u suggest to remove vigor as boon with 3rd free dodge on thieves? me too then
lets give to mesmer 3rd dodge and perma vigor , why not ?
Firstly I’m not sure what you’re complaining about as I have seen you beat thieves quite often in the dueling servers
By the looks of it in the first picture you were low on health, and got an unlucky rng air and fire.
I think the thing is, in tournaments you can’t take Mantra of Distraction to interrupt them.
mesmer dont have a chance against even average s/d thief
there is no walls , to abuse this **** with infilt strike
example how u can die instantly
they use venom, flank before → gain larc strike , use larc strike and then instantly STEAL which doesnt interrupt thier larc and they have time to hit u once more thier 1
well , 2200 steal , 4000+ larc, 2 procs for 3k both and 2k auto + 12 sec poison which dont let u heal after
they even just can spam 1 2 , jump from sword on u with infiltrator strike (2k damage) and auto(2k first two and 3k last in chain) because of 1 second immobilize which mean u cannot dodge, thier initiative buff allowed them to SPAM it
non duel situation : They jump on thier targets through walls with steal , infiltrator strike hit and back , hit and back as i said
lets talk abit about shatters , i use mind wrack for example , he using inf strike from range, he jump on mesmer ,hit and back , clones run around and they got bored and exploded before they are reach him on halfway , when ranger pets follow u around 3000 range i guess , this
new trait was nerfed on thieves i heard , like if he spam hs and got interrupted anyway he could spam it even after , its like most useless trait which in grandmaster trait lane and u must pay 3g and 20 skill points to unlock it
