Rangers and Warriors do not outpace thief in a horizontal race. I don't understand how you can possibly argue with the breakdown that I presented. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Because the breakdown you presented is incorrect, leaves out a lot of things. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 2. You said that: "Out of combat, 33% or 50% doesnt make a difference" which is silly because in pvp you're always in combat. Even if we were talking out of combat, the DP Daredevil is still clearly faster. As much can be viewed from the breakdown. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > We were talking about a horizontal race. That does not include in-combat. And if we talk out of combat, Ranger is clearly much faster, as you can see from the *corrected* breakdown. Oh and fun fact: If we were talking in-combat, warrior actually pulls ahead a lot, because they spend less time just running and more time in movement. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 3. Then you say: "Additionally in order to obtain anything close to permastealth, thief has to slow down a lot. Far more than they get from it. So, not a point." It's not about permastealth, it's about the small stealths like their heal skill, which is 24s CD traited for a 6s +50% movement, or Steal if it is traited to grant stealth with significantly large reduction in CD. Between just the heal and steal, not counting any other sources of stealth, a PD Core or DP dd is essentially getting 9s of +50% movement per 24s. That's something like 40% uptime of +50% movement my dude. So if they cycle the usage wisely, they use the porting during the 15s that the 50% movement is on CD, and run with the 50% movement for 9s while init is building back up. There is an extremely small margin of time where the thief has to WASD with only 33% Swift, very small margin of time. So yeah, that +50% movement from stealth is extremely significant in this breakdown, whether you look at from in combat or out. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > "that's 50% movement on a class that can perma stealth". Quite literally what you wrote. Dont complain that I point out something you say yourself. Its not significant at all, because out of combat 33% and 50% is nearly identical (its a difference of 10 movement speed or so), and in-combat its inferior to spending more time in movement skills (if you want, I can break down in-combat movement as well. Just as a spoiler: Warrior and Ranger are faster). > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 3.

You said: "Lets put it to 40 seconds, shall we? So, we get at most 1 shadowstep" No you get 2x. You use Shadow Step immediately at the start of the 60s timer, as well as 2x SB#5s. I already pointed this out in the breakdown. You do this early, first skills used, so that they come off CD faster during the 60s timer. My good bro, you get to use Shadow Step twice in the 60s race. And don't worry, I already calculated the rest of the breakdown for Range/War in the same way with their skill usage. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > And even with that, Ranger is ahead.

Then you go on to say: "Infiltrators arrow is not instant either. Theyre both about a second, but swoop carries you a tiny bit further." again, you're not noticing something important for this comparison. The SB#5 does have an animation time but it DOES NOT stop your WASD movement walking speed while casting it. So the Thief is still moving with WASD while the animation begins, an when it ends it instantly moves him with no interruption to the WASD movement. Swoop and Gazelle F2 or Bull's Charge or Rush, REPLACE all WASD movement and actually cause small pauses to it before and after the animations. A Swoop may be 1000 range but it is on a 10s CD that is effectively an 11s CD because the recharge doesn't begin until the 1s animation ends. The Sb#5 on the other hand, does not interrupt the initiative regen whatsoever and maintains a sound 2x 900 range uses per 12s = 1800 range per 12s, all the while not interrupting the WASD movement of the Thief at all, nor does Shadow Step or Steal. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Why does it stopping WASD movement matter, exactly? After you use Shortbow 5, no matter how or where you move, your location is locked in. You will always travel 900 units from your *original* point. Thats 900 units per second. Meanwhile Rush and swoop and whatever all finish their full animation also in a second, and you can move freely instantly. Thats 1200 units per second. Thats more distance covered in the same time. That is *all* that matters. I get what youre trying to do, muddle the waters to hide important aspects that dismantle your argument, but it doesnt work. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 6. And then this here is just entirely and completely incorrect in every possible way. You said that: "You get both Bird Swoop and Gazelle Charge, actually. You cant swap pets in-combat, but were not looking at in-combat. So thats 1200 on 12 seconds and Swoops 1200 on 18 seconds. Theyre also both about a second." OK so first, we are looking at in-combat because that's what happens in a pvp setting. When you're talking about things chasing each other and running from each other, that's what's happening, people in combat. When a Soulbeast is in combat it can't swap pets. Even if we were talking about out of combat, you are seriously not understanding some things about Ranger here. Again, Soulbeast does not use Swiftness skills. It relies on Beastmastery trait merge for a flat 30% movement speed WHILE MERGED. When you try to swap pets, they go on a 9s CD and during that 9s you do not benefit the 30% movement. Even if you were using Swiftness from the bird when it was unmerged, it only lasts 10s and it takes time to cast. Then when you swap to the Gazelle the pet swap goes on 9s CD and merge will be on a 10s CD after you left bird. So now you swap to Gazelle and you have to stand there and wait for the merge CD to come off timer before you can even get into the Gazelle to use the F2. So theoretically I see what you're trying to argue but it doesn't pan out in the way that you were thinking because of merge timer. In other words, without writing a thesis on this one aspect, you'll make better distance by camping beast mode in Gazelle for the 30% movement baseline and F2 Charge on a 13s cycle. Trying to swap pets and adding in that 9 to 10s buffer to wait to remerge will kill your skill usage cycling & distance. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Lots to unpack here.

Were talking about a horizontal race. You dont have a race in-combat. And the original context was about *cross-map movement*. You know, going to decap and +1? You also do that *out of combat*.

Yeah thats a load of kitten. And you use it while merged. And then there are stances or warhorn or whatever. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 7. Then you say: "You get swiftness from owl + your choice between stances, warhorn, or whatever. You hit the max cap all the same." OK first of all, whatever you're referencing is not going to be any faster than any other Soulbeast build aside from some +3% gain in movement from having Swiftness over merge trait. Upon that, using warhorn and stances and owl on a Soulbeast is not a practical build to be using in pvp. You need to be using Longbow and Greatsword, and Smokescale, because when you merge and go into combat you cannot swap pets and you need the Smokescale the most for obvious reasons. So whatever you're referencing here is about as far away as it could get from a realistic build comparison. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Its not much of a boost, but its a boost. And again, talking out of combat, so you hit the movement speed cap. And sure its not a practical build because you dont care for map movement since you need vertical movement. But in WvW, its actually a build. A version of boonbeast specifically. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 8. Then you start talking about 1hand Sword on a Ranger. Just no. You suggest the idea that someone is going to run Greatsword for Swoop with a 1hand Sword with a Warhorn apparnetly for competitive purposes? Even if they did and even if they were out of combat, that 1hand Sword jump has this weird hampering effect with its animation that hinders the Ranger just enough to where it barely gains any distance at all compared to what the tooltip says. If you're talking a foot race like this, the 600 range on Sword#2 is more like 300 range in terms of distance gained because of the weird animation at the beginning and the pause at the end before the Ranger is allowed to move with WASD afterwards. And upon that man, that build would be terrible in combat regardless of if it was DPS or Bunker, doesn't matter. Those weapon sets would be hot garbage together. The days of old Boonbeast setups have been looooooong gone for awhile now man. Sword/Warhorn/Greatsword would get you jacked up in a hurry if you tried to run it in pvp or wvw. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > That "weird animation" is called a cast time. Its still faster. And sure, as I said, its redundant anyway. Youre ahead. And sure it wouldnt be good for 1v1s or teamfights. But neither is thief, is it? The point is to have a hypothetical thief analogue that can move across the map if they were horizontal. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 9. And then War I'm not going to discuss because it's slower than Ranger and Ranger is slower than Thief, and the same mistakes were made while viewing the breakdown, concerning not taking into account the hampering of movement from animations. A good example on War is GS#3 Whirlwind. That skill has some serious animation hampering. It doesn't boost you ahead nearly as much as the tooltip would make you think. Using a WW alongside of a guy who was just running with Swiftness 33%, would only put you ahead maybe 60-80 range from him, due to how the animation actually works. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Its slower than ranger, yes. Its faster than thief. I did not make any mistakes. I counted the animation and stated it. It boosts you by exactly as much as I have said. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > At any rate man, the purpose of my comparisons were to use realistic build structures for pvp while being in combat. The purpose was not to point out theoretical weird run builds designed for GW1 Droknar's Forge run. I could do the same thing for Thief, point out of a bunch theoretical options that could improve its movement speed and init gain, ect ect, but that's unrealistic. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You couldnt. Youre pretty much hitting the cap. Roll for initiative, perhaps, but that barely boosts you, and then youre tapped out. The purpose was to show that in horizontal movement thief is faster than ranger and warrior, and you failed to show that at all, because its not true. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > But just to humour you, what if it was in-combat? Well lets start with warrior. Its easier. 12600 over 16.45 remains the same, its not affected by in combat vs out of combat. So, 23.5 seconds of swiftness movement. Thats 280 units per second. So 23.5\*280= 6580. For a total of 19180 units in 40 seconds. To compare, thief has the 7200 over 8. So, 32 seconds of movement. Lets be *very* generous and assume thief has 50% extra movement speed during the entire 32 seconds (needless to say, he wont). Thats 32\*315= 10080. For a total of 17280. Thats almost 2k *less*. And that was with me being *very* generous. If we instead assume realistically the thief only has, lets say, 12 seconds of 50% movement, then its only 16580. Almost 3k less. Yeah, pretty rough for the thief, innit? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You maths are kinda off by a bit > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > a) For example you didn't calculate that Thief can use Dash (450 yards yard range) x6times in those 40 sec > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > (2 in start + once every 10 sec) . > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > So I didnt.

The first dodge gives you about 150 units compared to just walking. The first infiltrators arrow gives you *500* units compared to just walking. And initiative is worth more than endurance.

At 400. With swiftness you reach 391 movement speed. So 50% only gains 9 units per seconds. So no, at most its 360 units if you ran 40 seconds with 50% vs someone with 33%.

I understand you do not understand how this works. Let me explain. If you do the order "dodge > Arrow" you lose a total of 350 units at the start, and then another 150 for the second you wasted. On the other hand, if you do "Arrow > dodge", you gain 350 units and gain another 150 by not wasting a second. The latter moves you more. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > b) In combat has a cap ... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Out of combat has not ... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > [Yes it does](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Movement_Speed).

Ugh. So, lets do the math. Swiftness is 33% speedboost. You start with 294 base movement speed out of combat. 294\*1.33= 391. The cap is 400. So you are literally just 9 units below cap. Thats 9 units per second.

No, with my method I will not run out of resources any faster than with your method. I will however *regain* resources faster than with your method. I do not waste "anything".

Lets look at this little line: "On foot: WvW; 100% Swiftness Speed: 392.". Now, PvE: "Land; 100% Swiftness Speed: 392". Whats this? Its *literally the same*?

Did not use swiftness on Soulbeast. Did not maximise speed on Soulbeast. Multiple mistakes on warrior and soulbeast. Poorly optimised pathing on warrior and soulbeast. Gee wiz, I wonder why you got that result with how shoddy your methodology was. Now try it again in WvW, on a perfectly flat stretch of land, in a straight line, without making mistakes.

Then the race happens, you quickly realise "wait shit Im going to lose", and once you do, you will act like nothing ever happened and continue to spout the same nonsense.

Trevor even took the time to not use thief teleports in vertical areas he could so thief would possibly be faster meanwhile the only thing different he could do on ranger is play sword mainhand, which is only playable for core or owl which might make him a few secs faster cuz of swiftness but owl is also a weak option, also warrior he could have used stomp but that would make like a 5 sec difference at most. Yeah the pathing for ranger was mediocre at one point but Trevor also pointed that out before in his calculations plus no optimal pathing would make up that 20 secs which btw thief could have even more if they had a mainhand sword and/or infiltration signet.

Again, as I just explained to you, your methodology was unbelievably shoddy. So shoddy that both ranger and warrior lost a lot of time to it. And yet the advantage wasnt particularly major. What do you think would happen if you fixed the methodology and let Warrior and Ranger gain the lost time, hm? Â Oh and while I cant fix your choice of a non-horizontal map, I can fix the rest. So, with a not very well optimised attempt, I got 1:25 on warrior. And I think there is room to shave off another 5 seconds. And that *despite* the fact that since I joined an empty room, I had to take a detour since I couldnt destroy one set of gates. Now imagine if the vertical advantage wasnt there.

Not use a non-horizontal map. Not make multiple major mistakes on warrior and ranger losing precious time. Not route them suboptimally while routing thief optimally. On my second try I was able to take *10 seconds* off of his warrior time. Oh and thief cant get any faster.  Edit: Shaved off 10 seconds off of his ranger time on my *first* attempt.

Trevor even took the time to not use thief teleports in vertical areas he could so thief would possibly be faster meanwhile the only thing different he could do on ranger is play sword mainhand, which is only playable for core or owl which might make him a few secs faster cuz of swiftness but owl is also a weak option, also warrior he could have used stomp but that would make like a 5 sec difference at most. Yeah the pathing for ranger was mediocre at one point but Trevor also pointed that out before in his calculations plus no optimal pathing would make up that 20 secs which btw thief could have even more if they had a mainhand sword and/or infiltration signet. > > Warrior would be a bit faster with sword/wh and ranger would obviously be faster with mh sword and clean about-face lightning reflexes. With that being said, thief could also be faster with spamming agility signet and channeled vigor for extra dash dodges (50% movement speed in stealth is negligible in ooc test) as well as running infiltrator sig or about-face roll for initiative for more sb 5's, not to mention potential for shadow portal in a there and back test as opposed to a one way test. The problem is that none of that actually pans out well on Ranger. About facing with LR just doesn't work out well, there is too much animation pause and too many things can go wrong. Even with a macro, it's not worth the trouble. Try it and you'll see what I mean. And 1hand sword just strangely doesn't work out well. It's the same thing when UNO mentioned using pet swapping on Soulbeast which doesn't have any gains in speed because the 9s merge CD between each swap. The skill cycling actually isn't worth it if you're aiming for distance traveled, not to mention that Bird Swoop was put to an 18s CD, whereas Gazelle is 12s. It's just best to spam Gazelle F2. Again, go try this stuff out for yourself and you'll see what I mean. Also consider we aren't talking theoretical run builds here. We're talking actual builds that you'd want to play pvp/wvw with and not suck when in combat. I can't speak for Warrior or Thief adjustments as I'm no master of those classes, but I'm telling you the Soulbeast build in that video is near peak performance in terms of speed. The only thing that could make it go faster is the 3% gain if it had perma swiftness and if I had practiced that route 10x or something like a Beetle race before recording it so I could cut every corner with maximum precision. And even if I did that, I may pick up a margin of 5s or something on the route, but nothing that would even begin to make pace with the DP Daredevil. And if I had done the same thing "practice the route & rotation" on the DP Daredevil, I could probably pick up 6 to 8 seconds or more of ground. And again... I mean... if you're talking in combat, that +50% while stealthed puts DP Daredevil way way way ahead of Ranger & Warrior in terms of sheer horizontal movement, and that's not even considering it's ability to port up and over objects for serious corner cutting.

"Near peak performance" my ass. You did it so horribly you managed to lose 10 seconds of free time, and there is still room for optimisation. I think matching thieves 1:17 is pretty doable. On the other hand, the thief route you optimised pretty perfectly. I was only able to gain a bit less than a second, and pretty much even that just thanks to you dodging into a gate. > And again... I mean... if you're talking in combat, that +50% while stealthed puts DP Daredevil way way way ahead of Ranger & Warrior in terms of sheer horizontal movement, and that's not even considering it's ability to port up and over objects for serious corner cutting. No, actually, it doesnt. See, in-combat whats more important than the 50% vs 33% is how much of your movement is done with movement abilities. Because those do not get *any* slower. So the more time you spend using those, the more of an edge you gain. And Warrior and Ranger spend more time using those than thief does. That pulls ahead more than the occasional 50%. And as for the " ability to port up and over objects for serious corner cutting.", thats *precisely missing the point*. We were comparing *horizontal* movement, where you cant do that all.

With thief there were no skills you could delay. You didnt take wide detours, you didnt bonk into walls. Legit the only thing ruining the perfect streak is the dodge into the gate teleport.  > Anyway, this is silly. My work is done here unless this guy is willing to go in game with me. But you didnt do anything. Obvious reference aside, no. Your work would be done when you do a proper test in WvW, on a horizontal plane, in a straight line, with optimal skill usage. Until then you just have a shoddy test that is clearly worthless and that I was able to outperform within less than 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do watch out if youre trying to do it around castle in EBG though, sometimes you get the no valid path thing there, which might ruin the race.

Not to mention the obvious problem of trying to coordinate in WvW (assuming we even *are* in a matchup). Test it with someone on the same server as you.  We can run in a straight line across Lion's Arch, starting from the fractal portal all the way north to the entrance to Gendarran Fields. Totally a straight horizontal flat line. It's even straight and flat enough to make riding a beetle easy down that path. Let me know when you're ready.

Totally a straight horizontal flat line. It's even straight and flat enough to make riding a beetle easy down that path. > Â First, which part of "waste of time" is too hard to understand? Second, Im going to have to ask if you actually know what the words "straight" and "horizontal" mean. That path is many things, but straight and horizontal it is not. You literally go over a heavily curved bridge. Third, you do realise that that experiment has a few major issues, yes? For example the fact that the ranger and warrior would have a free movement speed cap. Or the fact that several skills are different from WvW/sPvP.

DaFishBob.6518 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Stop posting about it in this thread then if this is a waste of time @"UNOwen.7132" . Getting the last word here doesn't mean squat at the end of the day. More on topic, evidently, thief is still doing a great job using its mobility and stealth to decap nodes. Living up to its namesake for sure, stealing valuables when no one is looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me any other profession that can burst you down so quickly, with exception of burn Guardian. Yeah, I've always enjoyed staff but it just has no place in this meta. Tried a few games earlier and it's just way too much effort to land any damage, and the damage you do land pales in comparison to some block spam core symbol/burn guard.

Show me any other profession that can burst you down so quickly, with exception of burn Guardian. > > Yeah, I've always enjoyed staff but it just has no place in this meta. > > Tried a few games earlier and it's just way too much effort to land any damage, and the damage you do land pales in comparison to some block spam core symbol/burn guard.  The skills team needs to remove the evade off vault to make it a good weapon in PvP, it'll always be trash until they do that as that skill being an evade holds the weapon back forever in PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
