Hey fellow thieves, I am a mostly WvW player but today I went to a custom 1v1 arena to hone my skills a bit and duel some people. After duelling some warriors, rangers and other classes I felt like I was always hitting like a wet noodle with my strongest skills barely reaching 3k damage (I used s/d) and had the hp of a wet noodle. On contrary though, in WvW my skills seem to do more damage (5.7k isn't weird on cloak and dagger) and I can actually seem to fight and win against most classes. This made me wonder on how thief differs in the game modes and it's viability as a duelist. I know that in sPvP thief can't duel at all but that seems to dramatically change in WvW. So now the questions are: is thief a viable duelist in WvW, how does thief differ across the gamemodes and what is the state of thief in those gamemodes?
