Sword Méta Thief McM

[bobo.3108]

Ceci est ma troisième vidéo. Elle offre une alternative plausible au S/D qui est méta en PvP/McM depuis plusieurs semaines.

Je suis en maraudeur avec rune de mécatronicien. C'est sympa pour du solo & en team. N'hésitez pas à vous abonner, bientôt il y aura du GvG et du teamplay. Ca fait toujours plaisir et ça met en valeur le temps passé sur la vidéo :)

i have no clue about french but as for your video:title of the video says its roaming, most of the video is duelling tho - we might have a diffrent opinion of what roaming is but i didnt see any objective you fought for in that video. if you did what i think is roaming you would mostly encounter outnumbered scenarios with well less skilled players and i would like to see how sword fares there, cause i am certain that builds with more stealth are better in that then sword builds, so i hoped to be proven wrong by your video cause i loved to play sword a while ago when power creep was not at current level but sadly your video wasnt what i hoped it to be.cant tell you much about the fights as i havent played s/x in a while. but it seems to me you are pretty random spamming stuff and dont plan into possible procs.for instance you start most of your fights right away with basi venom tho alot of people do have some on CC traits, even in your video. like the stability stance on 2nd warrior, the auto stability trap on DH or the protection on the scrapper trigger those procs with headshot/pistolwhip, dont waste your elite or steal for it. you also spamm alot of dogges when there is no instant cast you need to expect. if you work on using your dogges more precisce and your CC /steal more clever you could probably go more offensive in gear like using berserk trinkets instead of marauder and end the fights alot quicker.i got one question tho: what server are you on? you are clearly on EU so i might run into you some day but you got baruch and abaddon in your video, baruch was like in tier 1 before relink and abaddon in bottom tier so its strange you got those two in one so short video.

Marauder gear with scrapper runes, in short. (I could have never believed mécatronicien would be a name for an elite spec)

J'ai bien peur que tu aies posté ce topic dans la mauvaise version du forum, malheureusement. Non pas que ça en déplaira a ceux qui veulent regarder bien sur.

@"MUDse.7623" While not OP, I can attest to sword's potential fighting outnumbered camps. If running sword/d, your 3 is not only a high sword of damage but also a fairly useful evade. I've 3v1'd + (no tier) camp before even against other d/p thieves just due to the sheer awesomeness of the evade. I do note OP is running s/p, so I can't confirm on how useful that would be, but I can see that being a little bit more troublesome.

Also, in a camp scenario as sword/dagger, you still have plenty of stealth with cloak and dagger which helps reset or interrupt.

Sword builds in my opinion compared to dagger builds tend to be more "brawlers". IE, I change my food out for 66% chance on crit to steal health food instead of power/ferocity food and play a more defensive playstyle. (using sword #2 to get in and out, while waiting for initiative to regen.

It honestly is a very different play style but one I prefer. Whether to use daredevil or deadly arts and run core is up in the air based on the groups im fighting though. If there are a lot of groups that night I run daredevil, if a lot of small 3 or less player groups I run core.
