Well yes, and i agree. Especially on the commentary bit.

I suppose my initial comments may have been a bit too general. I was specifically commenting on videos in the vein of "WvW superownage videos"  

The people who make such videos claiming how great they are, typically show very little of their footage to make themselves appear that good. (i can think of examples, but i imagine everyone can, so there's no need to call anyone or any guild out)

The people who live stream, make commentated videos, and make generally fun videos should not be included in that group.

Now.... where was this thread going?..... Oh yea, Stealth nerfs will be a fun new environment to play with thief builds

Sorry, If it looked like I was attacking you. It will be interesting to see how the end of culling + removal of cnd chaining works out. It motivated me into trying out new builds, which i haven't done in a long time. See'ing builds like the perma dodge ones showing up are quite entertaining.  I wish they would release the patch notes sooner so we can see the full extent of the changes.

Well, yea, but you know what i mean >.>

People never show the encounters that go horribly wrong, just the ones that they destroy people in. (not pointing out anyone or saying its nesc. a bad thing, its just how video's are made in every online game)

I personally think that is how the videos should be set up. If I would be watching them that is what I would want to see. Short and full of action. I can't really talk about others, but I started streaming about a month ago and every stream is still online to view.. so if anyone was interested in see'ing those parts it is possible.

Probably the best type of videos are the ones with commentaries that actually help the viewers, I know I personally learned a lot from videos like those.

Videos like that will always remain. Its not hard to make yourself look bad ass by showing 20 mins of footage from 8 hours of play.

That and you don't want to show 4 hours of roaming around, without any action^^ Even in those videos 50% of the people stop watching after 4-5 minutes.

I will still use the same build, it is a very strong build. I did run tests this week without the constant restealth and honestly all I have to do is focus more on my sword part of my build.  So main weapon now sword/dagger which allows me to stay safe with the shadow steps when necessary.

I did change my bottom trait line towards acrobatics for the 50% movement speed in stealth, so i can position myself faster or escape when needed. I still can fight 1 vs 5, can't say much about zergs yet waiting for the culling fix before I try that. All we can do at this moment is wait for the patch.

Hey Koroshi, I put this together in one of the better Calcs...I left out the Upgrades on the Ascended Gear, thought you might want to add them in, if you're using them.

I did the S/D - D/D. I would be interested to see what adjustments to Traits or Utility Skills, if any, you would recommend for a S/D - SB build. I usually run w/my Guild, and they do use the Combo Finishers fairly effectively. (We're just getting into W v W, so we're still learning.)

Thanks for the thread, I like the build and think it will work well with my guild and how our playstyles mesh.

Nice find on that site I will play around with it later. Was looking for something like this so I could customize my builds better, however I don't understand how the build has 55% crit chance on the stats.

The trait that i changed was the bottom line to  acrobatics for the 50% movement speed to make up for the loss of perma stealth. That alone was enough to improve the build and give me more possibilities.  I am not informed in the way of the bow so i can not really help you on that part, I don't want to give you bad advice, I suggest looking for a shortbow build on the forum. Our organized group uses thieves only as support, so blastfinishers/disables/smoke/haste for revives that kind of stuff.

I'll try the build this evening, if it works pretty good I'll work to get the armor right. I hope this build will works! thanks for sharing :) or is the build nerfed ' cause i didn't quite understand if it's nerfed already or not :P

I have had a minor trait change in the build for the upcoming nerf, the build on its own will still work as intended. You just can't perma stealth with Cloak and dagger anymore.
