I will just say, I play a warrior in WvW. To me it felt like a one shot kill when I had full health. It really was a steal for about 8K, Cloak and Dagger for about 3K then back stab for about 12K. Yes I was dead. I could not counter that at all. In about 1 second I was dead and had no idea were it came from. Yes, thief should be nerfed. I only say that because that there was nothing I could do besides die. That is not that fun. On top of that, after he killed me, he just disappeared so no-one else could kill him. They should removed stealth all together. That would make is much better and more even.
So exactly how much damage can a burst thief do against high toughness characters?
in Thief

I can tell you that on my warrior, I got hit with two hits in WvW from a thief. One hit was about 5K and the second hit was just under 12K. Yes I was dead. I never thought I would see a almost 12K hit but I did. Not sure what they both were but I think the 12k was backstab. I have a level 80 thief and I have no idea how he did that.
Im level 78 and I have been using shortbow almost all the time in PVE and WvW. You can get some decent damage but it is so easy to take down 3 or 4 mobs when you kite them. When there is only one I switch to sword/pistol for a quick burst. I love the shortbow. In Spvp I only use it when there is a bunch and they don’t see me. I just stand back and let the arrows bounce.
