Exactly what Title says.. Anyone else noticing this issue? Whenever you try to enter the dungeon, your group is never with you or you won’t even be able to enter the dungeon. This is pretty lame and has influenced numerous people in my guild’s gaming experience…
Try Toughness/Vitality/Condition Dmg. Support/heal thief FTW!!!!!! Your only source of powerful dmg will be from bleeds, but you will outlast any enemy with your healing capabilities, stealth, and buffs. I have a trait that gives me might when I dodge… so over time you will hit harder… throws so many people off guard to find a tanky thief comes out of stealth at full health every time maybe even with caltrops on the ground or more summoned thieves to deal the dmg for him.
Oh i also use Pistol/dagger combo for pve and pvp along with shortbow to successfully create distance or hop to an ally to revive them fast. I felt dagger/dagger was too risky and think idiots who spam heartseeker have no skill.
Okies here I go… So I’m from a guild where everyone chose to play their class to deal the most dmg possible. I too started my thief that way; however, I also noticed like the OP that I had to back out for long periods or even would get downed from being focused. My guild was in desperate need of a support/healer.
I then checked out all my traits that were available and thought.. okay I’m gonna give support/heal thief a shot! After a few dungeon runs and even SPvP matches, I found that not only could I heal and buff my allies, but I stayed alive longer than ALL of them. Using Pistol/Dagger and Shortbow along with aoe stealth/heal mechanics proved to be super powerful. I invested 30 traits in toughness, 20 in Vitality, and 20 in Condition Dmg. Choosing all the AoE buff/heal traits as possible along with Deception skill cooldown reduction.
Have a downed ally who simply refuses to dodge your enemy’s attacks? Coolio, simply aoe stealth him and yourself and proceed to get him back into the fight. This has proven to be one of the thief’s best skills in PvE and SPvP. People don’t realize in SPvP that resurrecting an ally actually gives them points. :] So just suggesting i guess that if you get tired of “Zomg I do so much dmg hnggggg” then possibly give this fun build a shot!
