itspomf.9523 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm curious about the demographics of the game when it comes to thief players. Which game mode (or modes) and/or content do you primarily play thief in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It speaks volumes about a class when you don't grow bored of it after years upon years.Great build variety, flexible and innovative skillset. Feels distinctively different from every other class due to initiative and and how the traits work in tandem yet offer a lot of combinations.

A good steady core build might be my favorite thing to fight against in game and maybe most frustrating, Deadeye is perfect for that mood, and Daredevil with the right keybinds feels like hooking up to the game Matrix style. Like the rest of the game I suppose it all funnels at higher tiers wherever you're at but there's still players keeping the Thief elastic across each game build.

Pretty much all of what you've both said. I love coming up with builds and experimenting with trait combinations, and Kash is the only person who seems to run close to what I do for my go to duelling build. For me the introduction of build templates has been amazing as there's 3-4 builds I swap between on a regular basis while roaming, each suited for different opponents and situations and generally not meta builds. It was amazing playing an interrupt based shortbow condi thief in HoT when people hadn't worked out how strong it was, for instance. Sure, build X is always going to be most effective given parameters Y and in those situations the meta is what it is for a reason, but variety is the spice of life. I respect people that can play certain builds for 4 years solid in PvP and get super proficient at it, there's a guildless D/P dash thief roaming on desolation that kicks my ass every time I fight him, but I'm not one of those kinds of people haha.

Kawloon Fuathach.3807 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I stick to PvP. sPvP specifically, since WvW is more or less a convoluted zerg fest now-a-days, and I just enjoy the shock value of watching someone go 100-0 from a single dagger boop. All the while not learning from their mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
