Nice video, I like how you incorporated the SB as offensive with poisons and bleeds.
Agree with the posts above. Switch out movement signet for blinding powder prior to engagement, the extra stealth/blind is great especially if stunned. I also prefer dagger storm for bleed and reflection…it also counters other thieves using thieves guild and shadow refuge.
Without seeing a video or experiencing the encounter ourselve, we are working on assumptions. I play a P/D 0/0/30/20/20 with Shaman armor, shaman weapons and Cleric trinkets. My assumption is the thief was C&D for stealth with regen and cond removal and perhaps using Withdraw heal for CC removing every 15secs. Without knowing his build, equip and HPTS pool it is impossible to say if he cheated. My guess is he probably didn’t and was just using all the healing tools extremely well.
My guess, and agreement above, is healing gear and healing build with condition dmg. I run a pretty heavy vit/tou/healing/cond and with a C&D (and patience) I get about 2500 hpts back, plus any regenerations I have going on.
My preference is 0/0/30/20/20
A decent opener, if you can get it off…
-SB Choking Gas/Poison Field on Target
-Switch Weapons
-Steal
-Caltrops
-Pistol 1 Sneak Attack (adds 5 time-stacks of poison)
Other option is to drop the Poison field on yourself, Blinding Powder, then Pistol 1 Sneak attack to stack the poison duration.
I have also lately been trying utilize CounterStrike (pistol 3), just not feeling it yet.
GoM and SF are a bunch of bullies. All I want to do is run around, kill Doylaks, take camps and dance, but you all have the “see red its dead” syndrome. I had to pull out my Hacksaw Jim Duggan 2×4 and launch a few from heights yesterday for kills. Can’t a thief just go about their business and be left alone?
I had a fun time last night being an annoyance, looking forward to some more tonight!
I run a P/D + SB build on HoD with condition and healing gear (shaman) and get about 2K heal with every [patient] C+D…sounds similiar. I also have 3 backup stealths if C+D misses too often. The thing that gives me the most trouble against multiple targets is chain CC knockdowns. Best advise is to learn how to time them with your group. I don’t use stun breakers, so that probably why LOL. I don’t run into enough organized groups to force me to play with them.
Transferred onto ET yesterday just to try to help the SEVERE underdogs. Killed a lot of NPC veterans, doyaks, a bunch of SoR, some TC, and died some…but did get a whole lot of karma! Had fun all and good luck.
