Can someone post any video they have of the Thieves Guild Elite being used?

I have it on vid a few times... will try and post it here within a day?

Okay, here's a "not the greatest" gameplay with the Thieve's Guild Elite in use.  It's a short clip, and although I know I had better usage of the skill, I probably was not recording it at the time.  Anyhow, I am not the greatest player, and the enemy escapes... I am ready for the "hate".

Anyhow, Chuckles, hope this is what you're looking for, but honestly, it's not the best in game vid of what Thieve's Guild is...  my other video I had was the Thieves running after me while I was chasing enemies.  Again, not the best gameplay vids.  In other instances, especially pve, I used them in conjunction with the Ice Wurm, which was pretty fun.

Thank you, a good friend of mine is considering the thief for the next BWE and he was really curious if this skill was any good.

Besides the racials, the Thieve's Guild Elite was the cheapest (I think 20pts) of the elites... I think.  It's been what, 2 weeks and I didn't keep as careful track as I should have.  I liked it... popping the Thieves up especially in PvE was very helpful.  Plus along with an Ice Wurm (for Norns) I had three pets up at once and they helped a lot when I got into tight situations or was facing crazy odds in PvE.

In WvW, I don't really know how effective they were... mainly since I wasn't paying attention as much.  I did use them much more than this one vid, but I don't think I recorded a lot of their actions.  I also did get the Wolf Form (as a Norn) but only used it a few times and found it kind of clunkly... like I prefered Thieves Guild elite over Wolf forum.

I did not get to try out Dagger Storm though... which was actually my preference for elite powers.

I used it all the time, and it was very helpful in PvP, with some people even getting confused and attack the thieves instead of me. It has a psychological impact as well, a lot of people feel overwhelmed and start to run - but they can never escape a thief.
