Cylinders are much easier to counter than rectangles.
Could you explain why?
he means a solid, uncounterable, pillar of smoke
i like it, but improvision is a good trait to have btw… the two steals uses can cause a lot of outplay, and its nice to steal to have a sr or a withdraw up instantly.
A new look I found for my thief, that I think it a lot more interesting than the only one. ^^
He’s wearing the Glorious Brigandine, Whisper’s Secret Shoulderguards, Adventurer’s Scarf, and Rubicon Gloves, Legs, and Boots. Abyss/Imperial Red/White
looks like your neck is a giraffe XD
Obviously thief is probably the weakest class in the game atm (no one can deny that), after numerous posts in the forums on the problems and solutions on how to fix thief I would think Anet, out of all people, would respond atleast to shed some light on the thief buff (If there even is one). Im starting to think now that Anet doesnt care, or they are purposely putting thief into extinction. The new elite spec wont even help us. To be honest, Anet, quitting this game is now a suggestion to be put in place.
I’ve only seen rare appearences of the s/d daredevil thief in game. Would love some gameplay to inspire me.
anyone from maguuma wanna try this out ?
Woodenpotatoes made a video about this. It is slightly dated, but still works.
The comb is basically ele + ele + thief + guard. Thief uses venomshare for basilisk venom and devourer venom, and sometimes skelk venom. Thief also provides shadow refuge. Basically it goes like this:
- Everybody buffs up and stealths to a zerg who’s sitting on a point.
#2: Everyone grabs an ice bow.
#3: The guardian warps inside and proceeds to “tank” the zerg, refusing to grant the zerg the capture point.
#4: Everyone simultaneously drops ice bow #4 onto the group.
#5: Bags rain from the sky.However, as for what you are doing… I’ve never seen it done before myself. I can never find a group coordinated enough. But I can theorycraft.
#1: Signet of Malice is necessary. The healing it provides along with dagger storm is awesome.
#2: it is a little known fact that, because most venoms are instant activation, they can be used in the middle of dagger storm without interrupting. If you guys are using condi or hybrid builds, venomshare can boost your damage by quite a bit. Stagger the venoms 1 after the other, and you’ll effectively have 25 uses of those venoms in about 8 seconds. A total of 150 applications of spider venom amounts to 900 ticks of poison spread throughout the zerg, at base.
#3: Yes, an ele would be good to group with. This isn’t necessarily for burning, but for might. An ele can drop a fire field and then blast it repeatedly, giving the whole group long duration might and fury. In full zerk that amounts to a 28% increase in direct damage, and 220% increase in the damage done by bleed (110 to 350 or so). It is important that you’ll want to have the ele out of team, because the loss of an additional dagger storm means a 25% reduced damage from the burst, making all the buffs you receive to be very minor overall. Even if you can’t get group fury on everyone from the ele, thieves can still blast a ton of might with their shortbows.
#4: I can’t really give advice on which field to use without experimentation. Immediately I would say dark field, since those leeching bolts both do damage and generate health. But a smoke field would ensure more survival, and last longer than a dark field. So… depends on what you need I guess.
Thanks for the suggestions, i really wanna create a group for this that can cordinate through voice comm. I also saw the woodenpotatoes strategy, it inspired me to make this. btw the signet of malice helped a lot
I’ve been running with some random thieves in Borderlands, we evetually met a zerg by south east tower. Shadow refuging and equiping dagger storm, we managed to actually wipe 3/4 of the zerg instantly! Ofc there were some guard, wars, and rangers that had sos, renewed focus and ep, we eventually died, but it is still effective for only 5 measley thieves. We began expirimenting with combo fields to pair with dagger storm, i.e black powder blinds, poison fields and shadow refuge healing bolts. It sounds unintelligent for 5 thieves against a zerg but i would like suggestions on how to make this better. Maybe pair with an ele for the insane amounts of burning stacks and heals?

Not too sure…
But on a completely unrelated noted, and hijacking this thread…
:P I’m working on my nerf-wish-list parser, currently digesting the posted requests and going to conver them into JSON objects. From there I will probably have the script spit out either 1 request per post or multiple request per post, so I can repost them…:/ I will have to manually, by hand, repost the attached images…

Salt isnt needed because you can just put your attitude in it.

I feel that i have enough expirience as thief to spread my thoughts and teachings to other players. I am an avid wvw (Roaming) and spvp player. I can use almost all thief builds that are viable, and im open to new builds that is in meta. I main thief and i currently use S/D as my main build. I can help with 1v1 tactics or small fight group commanding. I am most known for my all thief zerg busting group, combining synchronized dagger storms and combo fields.
