Don Vega Van Kain.9842 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 To come-back to the initial discussion, i've began this saison quite late and i tried the scrapper after the patch. It's really broken as bunker but all you do is wasting your time and the time of your opponents if they have the good idea to stay fighting you at point. I don't play Meta (no damage) so i can have some damage + some bunker aspects (Gyro), i roam between 2 points to decap or help and i can keep point againt at least 2 ppl (if i 1vs2 good power classes, i die), the only classes that can chalenge me are Bunker weaver s+d, Firebrand and the new tempest. We'll fight eternally. In my main account, i still play protc Holo if i want play engineer but in my others accounts, it's scrapower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapper rely heavily on combo field and finisher not so much on boons, the reaper probably isn't the proper answer to them. If I had to guess an answer to scrapper, I'd most likely turn myself toward warrior and/or some unpopular variant builds of the mesmer. (Thought terrormancer might be able to put on a fight) Can confirm. I play scrap alot. Reaper can end u in seconds. War can also end you. Just not many people play it as much as boonbeast or mes. Hopefully we see more wars because of this. I love my warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been playing since beta (old pict, now i got like 5.7k games: https://imgur.com/x8o0Abh) so I have seen all metas come and go, and like everything, you will have people hopping in and out, some know their stuff, some dont. Not fair to dismiss anyone who thinks thieves are strong just because they got killed by one, because I have killed plenty of people on my ele and I have yet anyone call me OP on it in the last 3 years. They are strong due to their unmatched mobility, unblockable damage on steal that prioritizes stability, unblockable attacks on sword #3 with high priority for stealing boons like protection, constant gap closers like sword 2 and steal that ignores LoS and are on REALLY low CD, or no CD, stealth is a thing, as well as lots of vertical mobility to run away, or get closer to a point like SB #5 and the double teleport on the utility one. Their +1 potential is unmatched and their damage is pretty kitten good, they have single handily driven away squishy builds in ATs and when I see one in ranked and im on damage ele, i know either I switch or it is a 4v5. > > > > > > edit: like, I get it, everyone is biased towards their favorite class, I know Im for eles, but you gotta take a step back (or 3) and see things through the eyes of other classes too. If you truly say that you play 7/9 I simply cant believe you when you say that they are THE weakest of all classes and THE lowest damage (when the mere existence of eles in PvP in their current state says otherwise, and no, PvE rotations are not to be brought up in PvP). Cmon man, all Im asking is for you to remove youself from the identity of your favorite class and re-read your comment and ask yourself is you can believe it. I realize from your other post you are very adamant on people lying about their rank. That's why you post pics to show off your rank to make your point more "valid". I am not at home right now but feel free to add my tag to check my badge because other wise my experiences don't matter. Or that playing other classes can basically push me into plat doesn't matter. Thief is still "meta". Also it's not really just me that thinks thief is under powered. Plenty of YouTube thieves that are much higher ranked than me think so too. Not mentioning any names.

I think you misunderstood what I meant. I was basically being scarastic to that guy who thinks thief is great and meta. I fully support what you say. That it's just an annoyance. Unless it's some God tier player like Sindrener. But that guy basically plays any class well. As much as I don't like him. I admit he is good.

If you talk about rank, i will talk back about rank, it is only fair <3 Ok then. I misunderstood. My reference to my rank isn't about that I am better and my argument is more valid than a gold. It's more of a reference to that to get to g3 to P1. Simply don't play thief and play some else that's meta. And to me that's why it's unfair. And yes I am biased and it's entirely possible that I am bad as thief. But from my own games this is what I observed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the complains when it comes from necros, revs and eles at different times, but thieves? Cmon.. Of course Thief remains Meta. They have Shortbow 5. However, you are critically wrong on one aspect. "One of the strongest 1v1 builds in existence". The correct wording would be "the single *weakest* 1v1 build in existence". Unless the enemy thief is much better than you are, you should *never* be losing the 1v1 on any build that wants to 1v1. Hell, even most teamfighting builds that usually struggle in 1v1 still should not lose to thief. The problem with thief is that while it will always be strong, because being able to move around the map twice as fast as any other class, in a gamemode where standing on points is the best thing you can do, is incredibly strong, its arguably not very engaging or satisfying. The class was pitched as the standin for assassin. A rogue class. A class you expect to be very strong in 1v1s in exchange for being very weak in teamfights. Instead, you get sPvPs Janitor. Always neccessary, but I imagine not the job most people find fulfilling. Edit: Oh and since I forgot, the reason people complain about thief nerfs, is what they target. Any time a thief build appears, that actually can win *some* 1v1s, it immideatly gets nerfed. Sometimes even builds that arent even good enough for that randomly get nerfed. Those nerfs obviously do nothing about Thieves meta status because none ever touched shortbow 5, but they make trying to play thief as a dueling class even more pointless.

Adding to this, you would think the one with the mobility, and the role of being an assassin would not only be responsible for going deep into enemy lines to decap/cap. But also eliminate anyone they find roaming alone, weakened, or far from their group in team fights. But nope, can't do that. Thief can't out trade any reasonable build.

Lincolnbeard.1735 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 It's a matter of perspective. If you take into account thieves regularly suggest stuff as an F skill that does shortbow 5, dd dodge costing 15 endurance, backstab insta kill, death blossom marking a target and teleporting to the target at will with 10000 range, rifle 2000 range on deadeye, etc, yes they're really really weak. On the other hand if you have a minor clue about balance they're not weak. Also laughing at worst 1v1 build in existence. Typical "we're so weak, we only win because we're so skillfull" talk thieves love to spew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical "we're so weak, we only win because we're so skillfull" talk thieves love to spew. That would imply that a good thief goes for 1v1s. You dont. There is a reason why the first thing new thieves learn is "avoid even fights". Thieves win because points > kills, and decapping does a lot to give your team points. But, if youre so sure that thieves are good at 1v1s, then surely you would be willing to play thief in ranked without shortbow, yes? Or make it even more interesting. No shortbow, no Daredevil. Just core SD with whatever alternative weaponset you want. Or would that be when you admit that thief in fact cannot 1v1 reasonably? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more +1 builds in game, thieves just do better than those. There are some builds that are countered by thieves, so no, you're not the weakest build in existence. Also ds is one of the most broken stuff in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
