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.
