So thief is generally the best one because it usually has some keys abilities in spite of nerfs, condi thief is getting nerfed but d/p will still be strong. Condi rev is also very strong but getting nerfed. Core ranger is also solid right now and new user friendly, but predictable and also going to be less strong after possible nerfs.

Guard has another really strong wall he can place down too. Fortunatly most noobs dont know about the secret OP utilities.

Pre hots is very overrated. Mantra Mes was current condi thief, cele ele facerolls and wins most duels, people pretend GS/hammer warr is really good when he's just rampage and allowed to play once every few minutes (Cele ele had blind spam if he wanted), ranger didn't exist, NOBODY cared about mediwarrior, and people pretended rifle engi was good just like they pretend condi druid is a threat now.

All thief builds should have mobility, thats the point of thief. Increase P/D 3 initiative cost so you can't just 0 iq spam it, lower bleed duration on pistol autos so you have to time bursts instead of having infinite ranged dps. S/D would still exist, not sure if it'd be as busted because it has to get in melee range.

Just shortbow 4/5 and CC

Renegade has a lot of damage/cc but cant deal with pressure. Their performance in soloQ is completely random, better in duoq though. Herald isn't OP in soloQ, everybody plays something that can easilly deal with it. Core res doesnt eist. Core ranger is better than SB/druid. Druid is bad because if you want to go off thorn ult, they can easilly roll over trap drops to ignore the cc. Nobody cares about bunker druid.

Legacy of the foefire is a really snowbally map IM, so is djin. As a thief main I adore khylo. Spirit watch is obviously broken and zergy, but its not in the ranked pool. Legacy is good for auramancer/necro spammers because of how big mid is.

I played like 50 rev matches recently. I feel like my tech is better but my performance is super mediocre at like 50%. I could be playing d/p or sagebrand and spawn farming a lot of the players i'm up against and i'm struggling. I've tried zerker, marauder, desolation and retri. Retribution just feels so bad, like a few retaliation procs a fight wow so busted.Is there something obvious i'm missing? It feels like they are just an inferior thief that can deal with some phys damage builds on point slightly longer.
