your sum-up is still inaccurate to be putting; "Disagrees with J.Sharp's comment" and "Agrees with J.Sharp's comment" in there.
since j.sharp hasn't compared backstab with ks anywhere, i have seen it nowhere, where is your source?
if you left out j.sharp, the sum-up is fine. but now you've just mixing up peoples comments and put an arenanet dev's name on there out of context. it's misleading.
What I stated:
Pro-thief / anti-warrior - GC warriors kill shots do too much damage. Thief Backstab doesn't do nearly as much. Cluster bomb arcs too much. Disagrees with J.Sharp's comment, some thinks the opposite.
Pro-warrior / anti-thief - KS is situational and requires the right environment. No mobility / escape if anything happens. Agrees with J.Sharp's comment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Among the people whom are either pro-thief or anti-warrior thinks:
-Class cannon warrior's kill shots do too much damage. (Check)
-Thief Backstab doesn't do nearly as much. (Check)
-The pro-thief/anti-warrior doesn't think the warrior rifles are underwhelming. (Check) {Post #6} An example is Oryx's post on the first page where he is asking someone that they are okay with a 13-20k kill shot, and that it's strong in WvWvW because it the windup cannot be seen. [People think that a rifle with the ability to do a massive burst hit like that does not make it underwhelming, thus making it not underwhelming.]
Or {Post #24} (Word for word from Featherman) "He'd still be susceptible to ranged attacks and the ever ubiquitous cripples, immobilizes, pulls, freezes etc present in the WvW environment. He basically has to book it at the sight of danger rather than hide and possibly counterattack like a good thief could. Leap and Rush keep you locked in place when immobilized too. It's a very limited playstyle and requires so much support."
Among the people whom are either pro-warrior or anti-thief thinks:
-KS is situational. (Check)
-With a rifle and a glass cannot build, if someone gets on you, your chances of survival are slim to none. (Check)
-The people whom are either pro-warrior or anti-thief thinks that the statement is indeed true, that rifles are underwhelming and that shortbow/daggers are OP. (Check) {Post#40} As GC spec, and in this case, a Rifle warrior build solely towards rifle damage and building up to a powerful killshot is super squishy with a very limit/no escape kit, while thiefs, although shorter range, can do their damage and get out even if they were caught while trying to deal the damage.
Are you trying to mash my comment with 3 separate periods into a single sentence? Because if you read it, it shows all three of them separately, and it practically says there are people whom agree and disagree with the comment.
