Hey guys,

I've been getting lots of omgwtf PM spam during PvP on my thief lately.

I'll release the build and in-battle thought process soon. Stay tuned.

Note: 1HKO on lights, 2 on meds, 3-5 on heavies.

Update:

I was gonna post a detailed write-up but with all the lovely community support we have on ehmry.com from players that already know everything the game has to offer...I don't need to prove anything to these haters.

However, I thought I'd make a quick video tonight for fun. Enjoy the lovely music.

Hi Haters

Keep talking.


P.S. I am still offering in-game help to those who are continuing to search for me. GL HF.

If this build is very effective in 1-hit killing, I'd consider buying a character slot expansion just to roll a thief.
I'm in dire need of increasing my kill counts after someone told me it takes 250k kills to get the Ultimate Dominator title lol

In my eyes it's typical, but as I've spoken with fellow thieves in PvP... it seems our thought process and skill order/selection are slightly off. It's all about getting the most out of your 12k hit potentials. Anyways I'll work on it lol. I'll write up the guide from MY perspective and see if it connects with anyone else, that's all.

I'd like to see you 1-hit KO my light class. Unless you're talking about light as in zerker light.

pffft not all of us can take a tank to the face and live through it because of a death shroud and the ability to raise the dead.

I'm curious to see this build too.  Personally I decided to opt for a bit more survivability with 0/30/30/10/0 as I find living a bit longer lets me gank more ppl later :D . But I think it'll be interesting to see the full glass cannon version along with your comments as to how to play it and why you like it.
Han shot first, you know it, I know it, everybody knows it

1 hit KO a light armor? as in they don't react at all? cuz i've done some testing on my ele with bunch of theives. my d/d ele has a trait that give arcane sheild at 25% hp, means that if my hp is 14k and you hit more than 14k damage, my arcane shield will pop when im at 3500 hp no matter what - you damage on that 1 hit would be 10500 at the most. looking forward to meet you in w vs w next match up.

You have a build that hits hard.


So what.


Can you take on 5 people solo while hitting remotely that hard is the question

Necros are fun to kill. I always imagine a slew of curses as they get spiked after I have to kill them 3x
