I rarely play Thief, as I like the Sword builds and they just aren’t as good. I’m an Engi mainly, who wishes jump shot has evade like vault or had the dazes back from Gyros, so I’m not mashed to a pulp. Its a L2P but also a support your fellow players issue.
D/P is the narrow funnel that Thieves are left with ( bar fun builds) and I don’t want other classes dragged down with petty nerfs, because ANET can’t balance.
I always run reveal on engi (either hammer or rifle ) and find those that evade and disappear a lot, actually don’t leave much energy for big damage.
Get behind the Thieves who want a wider choice.
