It's not only Shadow Arts, it's Daredevil and Deadeye talents too and the elephant in the room: DPS numbers (but that's not a thief only problem)

Say you put a warrior, a thief and an Ele next to each other and give them their best scaling weapons and Berserker gear. Thief will hit highest. I tried this yesterday with some friends and different weapons. And the coefficients of the weapons and skills favor thief too.
You could argue that this is fine and I'd agree with that if thief hadn't that package of stealth, mobility, cleanse and burst.

The whole weapon coefficients are pretty much broken. Some are just too low and many are too high and it favors thief because of the whole evade/stealth gameplay.

You should play thief without shadow arts and not be cele and be power and fight players and then you will understand that's it's fine.

Nobody has yet mentioned that reflecting death's judgement at them hits them for 140 damage...

First is a troll build, but can kill squishies easy. second one is for when you dont want them to get away. Both are perma stealth, but one is for 1vx and the other 1v1. both use relic of zikiros. the cele build can be switched to more marauders for dps. but truly, its unkillable.

Give a f*ck about boonball, thief having no place in zerg doesn't mean it needs buffs xD

It is a team game mode so balance is built around that and not 1v1 where if you want that go pvp. Give the dead eye a buff and make it good in zerg again.

If your complaining about deadeye in wvw roaming, you got bigger issues.  They are so easy to kill, unless your playing a non roaming build in zerg vs zerg gear or something and get ganked at the tail or something. 

The real kitten is cele willbenders, cele daze spam mirage, trailblazer condi chronos/mirages, cele sword reaper, list goes on and on...

Also if you are roaming in a group and are comped to compliment each others strengths at about a group of 3, that daredevil will far outperform a deadeye.

yep any daredevil or cele spector build is better than deadeyes for roaming, deadeyes are a meme.

Nouns and verbs, but not the same in game context. But the more we encourage Anet to group them up the worse the balance and other changes.

So, no nerf needed because other thieves builds are even stronger??? Its good to be a thief!
