“…don’t engage a fight unless it’s a thief or a mesmer.”
If the enemy’s Thief is taking your advice to only engage a Thief or Mesmer in 1v1, then they should be able to take you out, right?
If not, then your advice doesn’t really work. :/
Engaging =/= winning the 1v1 ^-^
What’s the point if you can’t win? O.0
If u know you can’t win (based on earlier engages) then you just don’t and +1 anywhere else instead
What if you can’t win that either? I’ve seen Necros and Engineers who can keep 2-3 enemies in the node while defending it even against Thieves. If you’re a Thief and cannot defend or take a node by yourself, then perhaps you’re better off playing another class…right?
Not really, with +1 I mean outnumbering a fight (making 2v2 into 3v2)
If u fail that, then you need to practice a bit moreThat’s my point. If you go with a teammate to outnumber a bunker Engi — and fail — how exactly do you “practice” for that situation?
However, if you choose to play Necro instead of Thief, you can single-handedly take the point away from a bunker Engi — no need to +1 anyone.
Besides, if it takes 3 of you to handle 2 of them (3v2), that means your team is not holding a node or just about to lose a node because chances are, one of your node is also outnumbered.
Let’s say two nodes are guarded by bunker Engi each and the mid-node has 3 enemy players guarding it. As a Thief, what is your primary role?
It is a known fact that Thief cannot decap from a bunker Engi and to outnumber the mid-node that means you’ll have to 4v3 them, if not 5v3.
Do you see where I’m getting at?
Then mid is priority because, as u said, the thief can’t kill a bunker/decap engi.
Also, if u succeed getting mid in that big teamfight, you can just snowball onto the bunker engiFYI: necro might be able to take down an engi, but necro has alot more counters than a thief. Let’s not even talk about mobility
Did you just agree that Thief is useless in PvP without realizing it?
No, I didn’t
Can you please clarify this?
…as u said, the thief can’t kill a bunker/decap engi.
I’m not sure what you mean by that.
- I did not agree nor think that thief is useless in PvP.
- A Thief can’t kill bunker (Sentinel) Engineers alone, and he shouldn’t even try. Thieves are meant to +1 fights, to make it swift as possible.
Any other profession can +1 fight and can even take nodes alone.
Thieves offer burst on demand for their team, unlike Necro’s
Then take a Warrior instead…I’m still not convinced that Thief is useful in PvP. Sure they can travel fast, but in 3-1-1 split where 2 nodes are held by Engis, traveling fast has no value.
- Any other class can +1, but can’t deliver burst on demand => resulting in being slow in rotations and being outnumbered/outrotated later on (assuming enemy team has a Thief)
- If you’re going to replace Thief for a Warrior (assuming you don’t have a warrior yet), you’re in for an outrotation. Warriors are slow, despite their leap/swiftness (if we’re talking about the Meta).
- Shoutwarrs weak spot is burst. Your enemy thief is in for a free kill on your warrior once he’s outnumbered for few seconds.
FYI;
- Any other class can take a node.. Ok.. But what environment of PvP are we talking about? Beginners, average or experienced? Because afaik a d/d cele ele should not try to decap from another d/d cele ele over a point.. In an average/experience environment. Basically, you don’t try to decap a point unless its big in your favor (free or the one you counter; Ele vs Engi)
Hey Bro, wanted to ask you something. Can a skillful S/D thief beat every class if both opponents are evenly experienced? Speaking mainly about WVW cause I rarely WVWVW so I can’t say anything about it. At least make it a draw and not run away as a thief. I get that you can disengage in wvw but I’d rather not if it’s a 1v1
The second skill would be spammy, since it’s a gap closer that does more damage the closer it is. The stealth skill would also be extremely strong but there’s no sources of stealth on there, so as long as it’s a transform that removes utilities like lich so you can’t potentially stunlock someone with the 3s revealed timer it’ll be ok. It would need very precise balancing but overall a nice idea
Yeah I agree that 2 would be spam able like HeartSeeker but it’s an elite so it has to feel like an elite skill. Maybe skill 5 after releasing all the rusty knives you enter stealth and the duration would be controlled by the amount of knives released.
I could already imagine my elite skill turning me into stone as I punch the puppy out of evil Quaggans
