Something that most people forget is that you HAVE to be BEHIND the target and be in stealth to get hit by BS, something that the experienced (or not so, in my case) should know. You don’t need it on 100b, not on killshot or any other similar skill as far as i know. As long as you keep your back clean, you are safe from BS.

The CnD-Mug combo needs to be fixed however. But if you remove that, is BS really that overpowered? When i ran a BS build, most of my damage was against people just standing there with a ranged weapon. I just went up to them, did CnD and BS. Yet they whine…

To be fair it’s a l2p issue, just the same as 100b, killshot, mesmers and guardians in general. I had a really hard time against mesmers at the start, but now they are easy (not easy perhaps, but not as ******* confusing) to kill. If you see a thief charging at you with 2 daggers, be prepared. If you turn grey, use at stun breaker and dodge. If not, dodge anyways. And then you are “safe” from it. Is it really that hard?

Also, not doing a BS build anymore. I’m running an “bunker” thief atm (25-0-30-0-15) with Signet of Malice and Bladestorm with a quite powerful Mug. Lifesteal ftw!
