What would you advice on weapon switch. Or is it not so critical on thief and i can stick to 1 combination of main and offhand until i can feel it is okay to make it a bit harder and start to switch between weapons? I feel like half of my brain power goes to figuring out when is better time to switch to d/p or s/d in the middle of combat.

Thanks. Yeah, probably should try out conquest. Its just i don't really like pvp modes like that, that put you in artificial environment(arena) to pvp. Roaming feels more fun, but i guess conquest is better for learning profession. Its just so strange for me, i found that Revenant is quite easy, so i cant say that it is hard to master profession. Same with necro and warrior. But Thief gives me so many troubles.

Problem is, i cant understand why i deal a lot less damage than with other professions. Lets take survivability aside and talk about damage. Thief supposed to be this single target burst monster. But all i see is tiny 1.5-4k numbers with 6k here and there in pve. My warrior and harbinger does more single target damage than thief. Im wearing full marauder gear btw.

Hi everyone. Need some opinion from this forum. From starters i say I really love aesthetics of this profession, i love how skills feel. Especially on Charr, i feel like some kinda predator jumping everywhere. But when it comes to pvp or even pve i suck so much. I dont understand what i can do better. Everyone burst me from 19k hp to zero in seconds, and when i try to do some damage it takes so long. Max crit number i saw is 6k from Heartseeker. Most skills and AA deal 1.5-4k damage. I tried multiple builds and had some luck only with rifle deadeye, but its kneel mechanic feels clunky and overall bad. I wasted hours trying to make something out of Thief, to not feel useless. PVE in open world also feel bad. When i played necro(harbinger/reaper), warrior(berserker/bladesworn) and vindicator it was so fun. I even could solo champion mobs on hero points, had a lot of success in WvW roaming. It feels like all those classes i can deal around 2-3 times more damage than thief and have better survivability. Hell, harbinger have almost same mobility as a thief with more ehp and damage. What is even worse is that when i go to youtube, i see all these videos where thief players just own people 1vX. Here is an example. But every time i try to go against 1 or 2 players i just get owned instantly. They just CC me, after i break cc they cc me again. When i go to stealth they just aoe me. I feel like a kittening looser. Is me or Thief is indeed this bad? Then why it looks like this guy can own everyone so effortlessly? And i see damage people do to him, its like nothing! He stays in players AOE and it does very little damage to him. When i get down to half HP almost immediately after starting a fight. P.S. Sorry for my english.
