I have seen many comments in these forums where it is said that most players don't know how to play thief, up to 99%. They must have known how to play thief if we can't ever get these same players off the forums asking for thief nerfs. Maybe the real issue is that with what we have left in the community, and specifically outside of MATs because those don't really matter, is that probably a great portion of the population doesn't know how to play with and utilize their thief. I believe that is because no one deep down believes in the idea of a class solely being a plus one and decapper. You can see your dying and dead allies pinging like mad men on the mini map for you to go ahead and rush into the pit of death that is mid, where they failed.

dont lower side node sustain, lower their damage

Yes I am. oh, you mean you have problems chasing them down if they want to disengage. This is not wvw. If you stand ground, mesmer boy, you can take out a thief. When a thief beats you, he is a better player. When you lose, you are the lesser player.

Oh, and no burnfall videos from the past. The video must be made from the time this was posted.
