and then come the hippo reapers and eat the scrapper

The thing is hippo won’t win against crocodile in nature… remember scrapper never dies.

Scrapper engage with slicky shoes from stealth… clearly outclass his opponents.

i can only assume that its a stupid trolling attempt whilst trying to advertise a beginner’s video

good try i guess

BUT but but… it’s Morgul! 5th “best” thief EU xD

As far as video goes, i am disappointed – i expected unicorns flying around~

I agree with you in 100%… sadly “The Dreamer” is still beyond my reach.
#Donate is welcome

I have it but don’t use it in PvP. Takes awhile to make but I believe you can do it.

Thanks, you’re right in pvp it is not that good… because animations are different.
Well I have everything for bolt but can’t finish map since 3 years ^^

Lol, you actually called me beginner at start felt sad but then started to laugh.

Kire.2364:

Calling yourself a “master Lord thief” and your video “one of the best” is quite pretentious, especially considering the rather average if not below average gameplay. Try spending more time collecting footage of a higher quality before worrying about putting out videos

I can call myself like that, as you see even in this condition I was able to play on top level.
Of course won’t take it seriously since it’s 100% troll.

Thanks for comments anyways.

dDuff.3860:

While I always welcome every thief vid coming to these forums, this footage was pretty tasteless :<

Some random guys, no clutch moments, a lot of disengaging and stealth abusing.
I’m looking up for future videos, hope they’ll be more entertaining!

Thanks for comment.
Well, it’s hard to make good video in soloq… something like that is normally not possible, because thief in not strong in 2v2, 3v3… and here we got 2v3 ^^.

Lord Morgul – Master Thief on the Top.

Enjoy my videos.

Irwi IRwi, you are always depressing everyone.

We should have initiative as with trickery… so we don’t need to take this trait line tho.

Even 40 seconds cd is not enough… It’s scrapper, hello? – most broken class in current meta.

Helseth about scrapper… 100% truth.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzeDP-NTEok

Lol, wish people would stop idolizing these idiots. Just because they’re high ranking doesn’t mean they know everything/are always right.

So many sheeple.

It’s not about Helseth – no one idolizing him, I only uploaded video with his opinion.
It’s just truth, most of the top players think the same about scrapper… wonder why? – yes, they trying to troll you “plebs” whilst scrapper is underpowered.

Hmm, does PvP not show specialization icons for classes?

PvP doesn’t show specialization icons…
- engi with hammer = scrapper

Anyways specialisations are op, so everyone knows that engi=scrapper etc.

Shezu Tsukai.8291:

Nerfs to Thief stealth and Steal has indicated that ANET wants thief to go in a new direction.

DD furthered this idea by not supporting either stealth or steal. But rather DD is moving Thief to an easier to balance combat style – Dodge.

Time to l2p.

Let’s clarify what you said.
Daredevil forces thieves to take more risk but also makes fights more rng.

1. Nerf steaL
There is delay on Steal now… but it has been changed while ago.
Steal is more important than ever before, because:
- Improvisation: recharge cooldowns, access to 2x stolen skill
- extra 1 dodge
- apply poison
- apply weakness
- Mug: heal+dmg
- rupt + pulmary impact (range 1200)

2. Nerf Stealth
Stealth is the same:
- meta has been changed so thieves no longer use “Shadow Arts”
- there is reveald
- cleave dmg is much stronger than before

3. “DD does not support Steal” seriously? – look point 1
- pulmary impact, extra dodge, access to higher burst

4. “easier to balance combat style – Dodge.” – facepalm
- more random dodges
- buff for outplay mechanics – makes fights more rng

Time to l2p.

No comment.

tldr morgul misses steal

Show me thief who doesn’t miss steals…
If you still don’t get what I meant then… use brain and read my post once more.

Hello,

I am experienced thief and I need to show you main problems after expansion:
1) outplay mechanism – What is it? Why it’s so important? – I will answer these questions below.
2) Steal – Thief is balance around “Steal” – I will describe what does it mean.

General stuff about: Daredevil
In theory DD gives us:
- 3 dodges
- Extra dodge after successfully landing steal
- Signet of agility
- Energy sigil on swap weapons
- evades on short bow
- blinding powder, new block
- blinds
- pulmary impact – rupts which are completely broken

What does it mean? – what daredevil trait line changed.
1. Thief shouldn’t be balanced around “landing Steal”.
Controlling animations, cooldowns, dodges while is important. We’re not playing on “LAN”… it means that every player has different ping… so you can miss “steal”, because of delays.
DMG on thief is high and sustain is low, so if you miss your steal… then you must disengage or you’re dead (most of the time).

Outplay mechanism #Theory
Every good or decent player will try to outplay you. It means that will try to makes, for example:
- random dodge, fake cast skills
- in general… everything what may force you to waste your cds
There are moments when you have around 90% chances to land your burst. It’s never 100%, because of outplay mechanism and delays.

Outplay mechanism #Compare HoT and times before expansion
- Before expansion thieves were counting dodges, cds and controlling position for win.
- Nowadays you can’t be sure how much dodges another thief has, you must take a risk unless you’ll die. Meanwhile everything depends on your random dodges and rupts (you can interrupt AA). These duels may be skill based while you’re fighting against experienced thief. The problem occurs when you face not good player, he can win duel/fight by randomly spamming skills… you can’t predict his moves. On another classes it’s almost impossible (just note that).

I think thief needs more consistant condi clears… currently we just dodge into death.

#Acrobatics
- should offerts more condi clears
- superspeed may be interesning
- instead of invulnarbility, “Hard to catch” should reduce dmg for 50% as on reve

#Shadow Arts
All these buffs make this trait line completly useless… whilst it’s essence of thief DP.

#Daredevil
Offers too much for “outplay mechanism”… landing steal is really hard, even if we can do it after new dodges.
- Stealth + extra dodges + pulmary impact makes duels/fights rng… because it’s all about opening most of the time.

Helseth about scrapper… 100% truth.

^^ sure, but you must know that marauder scrapper is only created with every defensive trait lines (alchemy: condi remove+boons/inevntions: high healing-bunker down/scrapper: rapid regen, adaptive armor..) then add high power coeficient on hammer skills, many surv abilities and this is it.

You can use high cc pressure(lack of stability). Or shoot down his hp under 25%(3 sec god mini elixir) he will loose 1 heal(under 25% heal skill reset). I know him deep so my nades always eat him

LilBiM.3581:

If I take anything from this video I would tend to take that it looks like Scrapper needs a mobility buff. Given that the Scrapper in this video was within striking distance of that Ranger for about what felt like 10 seconds in the 3 minutes of that fight. Kind of looks like the Scrapper needs the ability to tank otherwise that fight would have been more one-sided than it looked…. and it looked one-sided.

This must be a troll.

1. You’re talking about on of the best Power Rangers and Druids in game… He’s fighting against Scrapper which barely knows his class.
2. This is conquest game and imagine how this duel may looks like if they fight on the point (Scrapper full cap point or Ranger dies in less than 60sec).
3. Scrapper was playing WITHOUT with Slicky Shoes, if he takes it… ranger is dead.
4. Scrapper was playing WITHOUT Sneaky Gyro, because it’s not allowed on the 1v1 server… he’s immortal with this elite.

BobbyT.7192:

For a sec there I thought the title was referring to that ranger :/

This is not about who won this duel… duel shows how OP scrapper is, even if newbie or bad player using it.

well darn if this is what skilled rangers are then they really do take no skill to play at all

scrapper had no chance whatsoever in this match even with slickshoes and stealth as the ranger clearly was built to counter the scrapper build to begin with nothing but stunbreak and gap openers and cc even if the scrapper stealthed and ran up to the ranger and slick shoed ranger would ve just used his utility evade skill wich fully counters slick shoes as ontop of a stun breaker its an evade evade doesnt= block so slick shoes cant break through evade , honestly i saw nothing broken asides from ranger being broken by having over 1500 range still thanks to offshoot bonus range

I don’t like both ranger and scrapper BUT… ranger can be killed whilst scrapper is almost immortal.

1. Ranger is range class, what range should he have on longbow… 500?
2. Dodge through “Slicky Shoes” or block, mhmmm interesning…
3. Only “Signet of Stone” would let him survive burst in “Slicky Shoes”… it has much bigger cooldown than slicky.

Read before you start defend “underpowered” Scrapper again:
- invul below 25% , wich locks all of engineer’s skills, useless but he aint gonna die for 3 seconds so OP
- stealth for year every 20 seconds
- evade on hammer “3”
- block on hammer “4”
- stun on hammer “5”
- insane combo field/finishers for CC or DMG
- OP healing turret + leap finisher
- perma retaliation
- perma condi clears
- stability
- SLICKY SHOES which are sick on point fights and every duel because glasscannons cant be bothered to bring stunbreak

i can do the same

Ranger

2300 ranged attacks + 50% damage on 1000+ range
- insane range short cooldown burst skill on 2
-low cooldown long range stealth on 3
-long range knockback on 4
-massive range wide radius high damage aoe cripple on 5

-permanent stability,might,fury and other boons
-perma condi clears
-insane burst damage pets
-insane CC pets
-infinite cc if running druid
-infinite heals if druid

- Engi is fine, scrapper is broken.
- Ranger is underpowered whilst druid is broken.
- Ranger has no stability, since he must use “Entangle”.
- Power Ranger is not even close to be in meta.

xXBurningEmberXx.6085:

m8… l2p… backstab can go as high as 12k (1 shotting most classes), stealth=escapes for dayz, blinds to never have a warrior hit you, shadowstep when stunned down, and shortbow/staff/dagger for insane mobility… learn to play thief before ranting on the forums

We’re playing different games then.
As I know this game is not based on 1v1 and warrior is too weak as well (not viable).
Mobility is only thing that allows thief to play in pvp, atleast after rev nerf.

The problem is that, thief was focused on stealth support and +1 in matches, now with those bunkers you can not burst single target quick enough.
It is funny to see when thief deals 5-6k by backstab and then target is invul and you must disengage, because support is comming and you can not be part of large team fight.
Comparing to revenant thief has like 0 dps with that sustain.
There is high risk and low reward, for example DH is like no risk and high reward :P

You probably have little experience as thief if you said something like that.

It is no coincidence that thieves are not playing in ESL, most of them reroll to something else.

Yeah, you’re right. Fixed.
