Just how it is. Unfortunately some non thief players/forum posters have made a new balance law stating that cuz thief has mobility its burst must suck, cuz thats their opinion so now it's a hard rule anet must follow, makes sense right. At least theres not a lot of other classes with great mobility, burst,high sustained dps,tons of defensive abilities, higher hp, higher armored etc etc lol oh wait....But low and behold thief has high mobility so its burst must suck emiright? Thief requires double the effort in combat compared to professions carried by their builds. Stealth and mobility are not the scapegoat here. Why would a thief not disengage when anything he or she does is meaningless in combat, the most you can hope for is to be a distraction or interrupt a key skill here and there (other professions can do that too). If the general consensus is thief is OP because of stealth and mobility theres a lack on understanding on what thief can and cannot do. There is a lot the thief can not do vs. what other professions can do taking mobility away whats left? Stealth is not invincibility.
