Idk about the stealing onto beast becuz the actual intended purpose of steal is mobility mostly and the steal item so it’s the same.. 10k damage nuke is kind of broken lol and should be hot fixed immediately.

As far as Mesmer clones- that’s not really even the point and I’m pretty every de has marked onto to something like a downed player to cleave and heal + get boons which can make mark damage go immediately up like x2 damage wise which they will mark another target right after or even just do it to get swiftness and vigor so they can rotate. It’s way more common than u think plus it doesn’t really just have to do with Mesmer clones...

Golems can probably drop alot, but toothstab is only possible from pve NPCs.

 

Unless black bear pet or lash tail pet is bugged it is impossible in game.

There is already a list compiled man.

 

One screen from in match (regular match) will be the only way you prove you are right..but you ain't.

 

If you can do it, I'll give you 300 gold.

 

Even if you get it from NPCs in foefire

Black bear and lashtail are separate from pets after "testing".

 

Not surprising after the wiki also explains that.

 

One screen and the loot is yours.

 

I hope you are not getting mad at me, let's keep it civil.

 

If I'm a bad player, it won't change if I am right or wrong.

Okah so thief can bit hard on a 33% chance roll if we steal beast in forest.

 

That is 1 of 3 possible drops from only chief

 

I'll send the gold but where are the pet and clone steals? (Give me 10 hours I'm out from pc)

 

You are exaggerating 100% bro

 

 

Edit...so I was right about yu being red

Actually At least for staff/staff thief it appears to be an under exaggeration as I’m getting 11k minimum burst implying much more than 10k at max possibly 13 or 15

So now staff thief is a issue lmao these players man are something else. U guys literally won't stop qqing until thief has zero viable builds. It's funny how top players played sd for a yr cuz was only competitive build, than a staff build came around that was good oh better nerf qq about and then came the nerfs to it lol so back to sd. Then came condi DD that was effective around same time oh better nerf qq about it then the nerfs came for it. Than dp recently oh oh again better nerf qq about it,than the nerfs came. Now top thief's are speculating sd will prob be meta agin lmao. But again a staff build may be decent so oh oh better nerf qq about it so it gets nerfed. No wonder this games population is dead, the team doesn't have to think of ways to mindlessly nerf classes and destroy build diversity as it's own players can direct them to do so and they just gotta follow suit lol. The ironic thing is all the qq's about poor build deversity lol.

This community deserves this game lol.

Hence why you don’t have an argument or I guess as you claim that you do than you just have an arguement which is invalid, which is pretty silly. In fact most of your post are clearly a joke as you think I need to prove that I play thief and post videos of it to prove that your already invalid arguement is no more than random trolling

 

My argument is for you to back up your claims. Don't talk to me about " the facts being on paper" and show me solid evidence of you performing the aforementioned exploits. If you cannot abuse the listed mechanics then there is no reason to put effort into fixing something that doesn't need to be fixed

It's funny how top players played sd for a yr cuz was only competitive build, than a staff build came around that was good oh better nerf qq about and then came the nerfs to it lol so back to sd. Then came condi DD that was effective around same time oh better nerf qq about it then the nerfs came for it. Than dp recently oh oh again better nerf qq about it,than the nerfs came. Now top thief's are speculating sd will prob be meta agin lmao. But again a staff build may be decent so oh oh better nerf qq about it so it gets nerfed. No wonder this games population is dead, the team doesn't have to think of ways to mindlessly nerf classes and destroy build diversity as it's own players can direct them to do so and they just gotta follow suit lol. The ironic thing is all the qq's about poor build deversity lol.

The only thing really mentioned about staff thief was tooth stab which is available on every thief build with steal or swipe and it is unintentionally doing much more damage than it should as it wasn’t hot fixed with ice shard. It is a pretty solid build for 2v2s rn yeah but only reason it was mentioned is because it has different dmg coefficients that push tooth stab into a new zone of spike damage compared to other builds....

I haven’t gotten the gold yet lol.

As far as topic of this being an exaggeration- tbh thief isn’t even that busted rn except in my opinion that stuff like crit strikes builds can still basically just run around and depend on damage modifiers to just get off giant backstabs or say vaults if your staff thief, which is also like one of the only problems with ranger and that some pets are op cuz not touched and u see lots of calls for those to be fixed...

So if it’s not that broken the only thing we need for balance is to get rid of things that if u look at numbers are out of line right? Not to nerf thief becuz then thief won’t be viable. So for thief balance just look at things like I have listed becuz any actual nerf will make thief too weak to play in the new meta. A lot aren’t new per say but they are still the only things that are abusable rn resource wise and no one should have infinite resources right? Like how core necro can live forever and randomly still do damage via lich form though obviously not on that level but still these seem to be the only things that need to be looked at immediately am I not correct?

It deserves respect when somebody tries to have an objective opinion instead of a selfish egoistic self-defending one.

And you call that ridiculous ? . . . you still have a lot to learn !

Either as they are both mine. I would probably transfer all my gold to one of my accounts Eventually once I decide which one need a new legendary or something like it
