It still amazes me that thief vault is essentially a better version of gravedigger.
It does more damage because of the myriad damage modifiers thief has.
It gives evade frames.
It casts faster.
It is a leap.
And even worse, Vault is barely DPS neutral next to staff autoattacks, which have ridiculous DPS. Staff auto on thief reflects on the last chain and does the damage of 100 blades. It’s beyond stupid.
Meanwhile the slow reaper greatsword doesn’t reflect, the autoattack applies no vulnerability or grants might, only applies a single short chill at the end. And GS3 & 4 have long cooldowns for their effects.
Smoke powder can be used more ften than greatsword 4 and has a better combo field. It’s also better at blind application.
Then we have the horrendous power damage of reaper shroud autoattacks and RS4.
Or the useless shouts in PvE.
Or the absurdly weak heals. The shout heal heals for virtually nothing. My warrior’s zerker heal heals him for more than half his HP and grants him adrenaline to boot.
Axe auto is still horribly weak, as is axe #2. All because of PvP reasons when they can split buff these weapons in PvE.
Wells still have humongous cooldowns on the utility wells. Minions are still worthless. Spectral skills are barely used.
Spectral Grasp is a weaker form of guardian’s greatsword pull with more than double the cooldown, and it costs a utility slot.
