> it's not a meme build, it's the best build you can run in ranked right now. it's played because you can actually 1v1 with it, as well as teamfight. You can't do either of those with d/p, or s/d

 

Lololololol I'm dying right now.

 

This weapon set was literally considered one of the worst in the game for years because it's so easy to outplay.

 

All of a sudden it's OP because people don't know how it works and won't learn :lol:

**Necro, and necro alone,** gets a pass. They are developed around a meta that no longer exists and suffer extra hard vs thieves.

Mesmer does not get that same pass. All of their denominations have plenty of tools to deal with pistol whip, especially mirage.

Everyone else has some variant of mobility, punishing people for hugging them, sustain or invuln to deal with this.

This. That evade window has been the same since 2013. It faded into obscurity until dagger pistol got nerfs that made it considerably less appetizing to use in all the revealed spam flying around.

1.5 seconds of evade. Cannot start up instantly. Telegraphed.

Adapt.
