This is getting wierd...as to be expected -.- Following is written from a wvw point of view...and only that.
I main a thief and an elementalist...both very squishy (full zerks for the lulz + mixed for serious buisness) and while my 14k hp thief CAN hit like a truck, that rarly happens anymore.
When i see a warrior while roaming i check his eq...looks like full exo? I think twice...is it really worth it? I might not die due to stealth but as long as they are not full glass cannon themselves, chances are it´s an even match at least (and wasted time so to speak...if not for the fun of it).
Why am i writing this? I NEVER did like 80K dmg in 2 seconds and that´s with perfectly timed CnD, BS, Mug combo.
I might be lucky and get quickness to pull of 2 HS in one second (and maybe a lightning proc)...but still this might only work on an afk guy.
And that´s my point exactly: by now most people know what to do and as previously mentioned you gotta think ahead (which is quite easy with a BS thief due to his limited options) et voilá.
I am like 100% sure that if something like the op describes is happening it is your own fault.
But meh...why am I even writing this down.
while feedback obviously doesn't work on organized stacks...i wonder, what was it about the engi mortars that had been mentioned erlier on? Does their AoE affect more than 5 people?
And what I dont get is how you can turtle infront of a gate...the pushback from catapults would rip you apart, no? Just mentioning this because there is a picture posted of a situation like that in this thread. Again...just curious =)
feedback it? I just created an account to let you guys know how hillarious it is to watch that pinkish bubble on a dagger-throwing, projectile-reflecting thief...insta gib =P
