it’s not a kill based off of 1 boon, it’s a kill based off of 1 entire build: weapons, traits, and utility skills.
Not to mention it leaves you weak afterward unless you take measures to deal with it.
That is not the point of this discussion. Yes you can only kill someone every minute, yes you can’t dodge once you use haste. The point of this discussion is that the person on the receiving end has to take it, he has no choice. If he dodges, the thief can still steal mid attack and do the damage minus the stun. A stun breaker wont always work because most thieves that use this build use the devourer venom, so condition removal is required as well. There is just very little, if anything, the opponent can do and no one should just drop dead every minute to any profession.

Its 1 boon that’s allowing the build to instantly kill people. Without quickness you wouldn’t see people complaining about it.
maybe go into other professions forums complaining about things that you barely know, like everyone is doing with thief’s forum
I play thief, and I’ve played this build. I’m complaining because I don’t think ANY class should be able to guarantee a kill based off of 1 boon. I’d rather have a balanced and fun game than try and defend something that needs a change.
@Metalphorm
That does not mean one should just drop dead every minute to a thief either. Like I said in my earlier post, the opponent has no chance to react until the third pistol whip. The stun doesn’t even matter for the last one cuz you can still steal mid attack (after the stun root is done and you’re swinging the blade) so you’ll still be doing damage even though someone dodged out of the attack.
I really don’t see how people can defend the haste + pistolwhip combo. All I need to do is apply devourer venom and get sigil of superior paralysis (15% stun duration increase) and the other player has a maybe a .5 sec window to dodge. No one should be allowed to get a guaranteed kill because of a boon. The only solution is a stun breaker, but that has a high chance to be on cooldown since thief isn’t the only profession with stuns.
Also even if someone does manage to dodge, you can still steal during the pistolwhip attack (after the actual stun animation). So you can STILL get a few hits off after a person dodges. So the whole argument that a dodge wastes 5 initiative is wrong, you still deal damage, just no stun. If you use the abilty/sigil i mentioned the only chance the opponent will have to dodge is the 3rd pistol whip in which the stun doesn’t matter as much anyway.

I’m having the same problem. I bought gems a few times (4,000 once and 2800 1-2 times). I bought 800 a few days back from my new debit card and now its not accepting either of my cards (the one I got the 4000/2800 gems from and the one I got 800 gems from).
