.. I do agree with that well build. Going full toughness and vitality + healing makes u hard to kill ^^. I randomly tried it on SPVP and guess what -.-. It rips many glass cannon wariorrs + guardian + squishy thieves and ( i was surprised myself ) mesmer on s/p build lulz.
The problem with that build is the lack of dmg <.< and the trouble u get in when ur wells are on cd ….
They dam hurt and cause panic when they come out of stealth and attack you agree…
well 3 skills u have to get ready to counter all the times.
1-Dagger Storm
2-Thieves Guild
3-Shadow Refuge
Many use it in WvW and when u 1v1 any thief (pro maybe) u might be dead b4 u have time to hit him >.<.
Dank is right. They rely on specific combos to burst down their foes and most will run away when they cant … ( best runaway profession imo).
Make good use of your Decoy and Blink at the right time.
GS #5 and Pistol #2 kinda help keep them off you when well timed.
the occasional cripple from iBerseker going to help a lot with the kiting too.
Finally make good use of your clones.
Do not go on melee with them unless for Blurry Frenzy. They cripple a lot and the burst on melee is far greater than their range.
And as dank already mentioned u must predict his move nothing more.
PS: I personally use GS Sword/Pistol and sometimes Sword/Sword and lucky me all the thieves i encountered so far either ran away or got owned XD.
