Sampson.2403 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Im pretty decent with condi mirage, power mirage and revenant in sPvP. I've been able to stay in plat 1 - 2 with these specs. Id like to learn to play thief next. I have a general idea of how to play it but im making this thread to see if anyones got some advice to give me knowing that i am coming from playing as mirage and rev.

Zhaid Zhem.6508 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Look at videos of Sidrener on Youtube, he mains thief, legend1, and he can't stop to upload hours of random matchs; it's not just a footage of "best parts" as proof of "ability". Your role is pretty simple, decap essentially, +1 and burst low life targets. Don't involve yourself in teamfight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for something that's able to 1v1 or 1vx as easily as Mirage, just run. As the class is no longer worth to get good for that. Otherwise... probably the first advice I can give is to get good with shortbow. Not just in mobility. But also for fighting. It provides a lot of utility that helps thieves deal with some of the bullshit happening in the meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev is basically a better thief than thief in terms of +1. Should just stay rev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev is basically a better thief than thief in terms of +1. Should just stay rev. This ^ If u are comfortable on rev and it’s energy mechanics u will get way more out of rev as a whole than u will thief. Play what u enjoy though,if it’s both rev is far superior in most scenarios.

Highlie.7641 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Play a thief just to learn there porting distances, Ignore the distance bar on icons. Once your comfortable with the ranges on Sb 5, infiltrators strike / return, Infiltrators Signet, Steal and rifle 4 and on RFI and withdraw Delete your thief and roll a rev. If you do this you will never have a problem with thieves no matter what profession you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson.2403 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 How does the thief +1 playstyle differ from the rev +1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycoprophet.8107 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 For me thief has more ways to engage in the +1’s but rev out performs thief hard in melee range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Other than disengagement mobility u probably will be disappointed and underwhelmed with thief if ur used to mesmer and rev unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are god of PvP but by then anything is effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gl I've been waiting for thief to be in a better spot for months but its nerf after nerf might have to wait a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
