Alatar.7364 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Terrible. Yes. Not much more to elaborate at. The _boing-boing_ build that was once "usable" for like 7 mins could do in low-brackets but it was never any meta or even useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mediocre at best after all the Endurance nerfs on Thief and then the Initiative increases, now with the Nerf to vault and Shadowstep made it even worse, since it removes a dimension/level of play.

saerni.2584 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Staff thief gets punished by the vulnerability windows in the evade skills. It might be good with a lot of practice but most of them I see end up not playing well in team fights. Might be good for stalling on a node?

Dahkeus.8243 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Staff thief has never really worked well for PvP. Before nerfs, it was a spammy, cheesy build that only did well when players just used vault a lot. After nerfs, it's fallen out of favor since there's nothing that it really does particularly well when vault can't be spammed. It doesn't have enough stealth to disengage as well as a D/P thief can and it doesn't have enough evades to survive in the thick of a fight as well as S/D can. It also doesn't burst as well as several other builds can. If thieves had a build that made them stout enough to actually take a few hits, it might be a decent build for a bruiser role, but without any decent damage reduction traits or access to protection, that's just not the case. The only place in PvP I would consider it is possibly for Stronghold since I recall it being decent there for stomping NPCs, but I haven't touched that game mode in a very long time...

Elxdark.9702 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 made it into top 10 2 seasons ago with it, it should be a bit worse now with soulbeast around and the nerf to lead attacks, it's definitely playable in ranked games but I won't recommend it unless you're good at it.
