It does not mean it works in zergs, like whatver works in 5v5 or 15v15 dont necesary work across the board all the way up to 70v70, the OP is not in a GvG guild, he is a pug looking to tag alongside a random pug commander, in this care thief just sucks kitten. Thief just does not scale well with numbers because as i said the more people you fight the more dangerous it is to go melee as a thief due the small window u get hit after the vault iframe, you get corrupted+fear+death, in a 5v5 the risk of getting corrupted through within that small window is minimal in a 70v70 where the blobs cant even aproach each other it is almost certain death. Play the game a little the comment, thanks

 

ive seen lays use a staff teef vs twice their numbers in wvw. it was like 20 v 45ish. I don't know how many times we have to tell you, what you do is not rush straight on but hit from the sides. pretty simple.

Exactly, daredevil is quite strong vs random squads because their positioning is bad and they dont react to anything. Whether it's 20, 40 or 70, bad players are bad players. Thief doesnt scale poorly with enemy numbers, it scales poorly with enemy quality.

If it's organised blob, they will be stacked all the time, and u will have no possibility to hit from the side

so you don't hit the blob in the middle, you hit the side... at that point your biggest problem is the 15+ un-squaded rangers pewpewing from the backline. there are ways to mitigate that pressure but I think anything bigger then 50v50 and its going to be a lot harder.

Honestly if zergs were that great at reflects etc then I wouldn’t drop so many people as consistently as I do. Once in a rare while I get a short reflect but almost never.

 

Wait until the group engages, watch the enemy group up then BAM. Watch many fall down.

 

Call us noobs if you want but this noob dps’s the h out of groups.

So...it's not really 20v45. It's 20+x +possibly y vs 45. sounds like 2017 NA fight meta moving to EU!

I disagree, but I must say that I notice there are few groups that have good reflect uptime for whatever reason.

EU makes the metas, NA tries to follow EU metas but still sucks at it.

I’m speaking only about how it’s working for me. You can disagree I guess based on your own experiences but from my side this is how it goes most of the time.

EU makes the builds, which get overrun by better NA tactics. Does EU still take turns for even fights in open field? Or have they learned to stack servers for an omniblob, nuthug, and driver snipe in wvw? Oh let me guess, they still trying to carve out that highly skilled game mode called GvG cause they can't handle actual wvw!

Na player EU

Primetimes are practicly the same

1. 'best fight guilds' form a ball of dead and overblob the enemy

2. Offtime 'fightguilds' mostly Just run over pug

3. 'hardcore guilds' run meta with a few adjustments to ran classes and traitlines
