You have a lot to say but you back it up with 0 math so your point was? I am right deal with it.
Whirlwind: 8s cd 450range=56range/s
Rush: 16s cd 1200range=75r/s
Leap: 8s cd 900range=112r/s
Bullrush: 40s cd 600range=15r/s
Total: 258r/s + 33% speed
Shadow Step: 50s cd 1200range=24r/s
Infiltrator Signet: 30s cd 900range=30r/s
Infiltrator’s Arrow or HS: 8s cd (based on 1.33i/s) 900 range=112r/s
Steal: 28s cd 900 range=32r/s
Total: 198r/s + 25% speed
What’s my point? Clear from the first post I thought. After the warrior shrugs off the thief’s initial catch the warrior’s cds are up much more quickly, allowing the warrior to break away. And if the warrior is starting with a decent lead the thief will never catch up.

Despite TheGuy’s laughable hyperbole, the actual “fact” of the matter is that thief mobility in the long run is inferior to warrior’s. When you divide distance by cd and add them all up warrior comes out ahead. Sure, thief pulls ahead initially, but can’t maintain due to long cds, lesser foot speed, and the lag associated with infiltrators arrow. Kraven and Puandro are right.
As far as the “catch” goes, cripple and immobilize are non issues for a warrior due to mobile strikes, and Charge, or the food/trait/rune combo. Add Endure Pain, Balanced Stance and there is nothing a thief can do to slow down the warrior from eventually pulling ahead.
On the other hand, IMO, the only reason thieves can escape from a GS+Sw/Wh warrior at all is stealth. And if they build for full mobility they wouldn’t even have that. =P

Also we really enjoyed slaughtering [GF] tonight near SW gar, after “cookies” from their guild was talking smack in LA overflow at the WvW portals XD
FA. Keeping it classy….

I apologise for calling out what believe to be “rude forum behavior”.
Keep making videos man, but don’t make videos for the praise of others, make them because you think what you did was cool.
Sure bud. I gave some advice on impression management with an example and I’m rude. You call three people horrible, me pretentious, dismiss all WvW as meaning “squat” and you’re just “calling out”…
There’s a difference between seeking “praise of others” and simply trying not to be a jerk. But hey, what do I know? Obviously some people like that kind of stuff. /wink

“And blame success on luck and upleveled/undergeared opponents.”
Or you can sling insults left and right like this winner if that’s your thing…
Wow, those players were just horrible. Down right horrible.
As for posting your own video in someone else’s vid thread, that’s just pretentious in itself too.
WvW doesn’t really mean squat imo. WvW won’t mean anything unless they scale stats like spvp.

In order to not come across as pompous you have to use a little self-effacing humor and not pump yourself up. And blame success on luck and upleveled/undergeared opponents.
Like in this 3v1:

Apologies for the in-game audio, I tried to incorporate it in for the comedic effect. Still working on my editing skills…

As you can tell, it’s written and reviewed by a professional, in a first and formal letter and request to ArenaNet.
Ha! It was schmaltzy and way over done. Can tell the quality of a guild when they have to seek the writing skills of a “professional”…

Race change please! I’d pay big bucks!
Uncle Shags: The Barely Competent
I’d also like this option, and would pay significant cash for it. I wouldn’t even mind resetting my personal story to zero if that’s what it would take.
Race change doesn’t make sense? It’s a fantasy game…we aren’t limited by reality.
