    I've always played Thief but after getting back into the game recently I would also like to get into PvP now and finally actually learn the class and it's REALLY hard to find recent resources on (D/P) Daredevil. Both video and written. At the very least, play style hasn't changed that much over the last years so old videos, which there used to be so many more of, are still somewhat valid. But what did change massively is the meta. Most videos I found are long pre-EoD.
    You could make a series about learning Thief ;) Unfortunately, there is hardly any transfer of knowledge in the Thief community anymore. The few remaining streamers don't commentate what they're doing at all and also don't really have any VODs to go through, especially since Twitch doesn't want people to engage with VODs in the first place. I binged your "PvP decision making under fire" series a couple of days ago for general PvP knowledge and loved it, but Thief has so much class-specific things to take into account, it can only help so much.

      Try a vindicator. I started 6 months ago as a ranger main and every single person in wvw would just rip me apart in 2-3 seconds. Once you learn how their animations look like the game slows down and you'll be more comfy with your class. On my vindicator now I not only survive clump fights a LOT better, but I can support my team with heals, boons and damage and have better mobility(through gap closers) and I can go chasing people with it. I'm not dying anywhere near as fast as I used to and sometimes takes multiple people to take me down.
      I still meet the random dude that will piss on my world in seconds, but those are usually people with a decade's worth of pvp experience while I only have 5 months. The best advice, at least for wvw pvp, is to NOT get greedy thinking you can get an extra kill if you just push in a little more. It will get you pulled and killed 9 out of 10 times. Or just make a tank build, something really stupid, and just join zergs until you learn what everything looks like.

    a decent build for pvp the dual pistol with "Bounding Dodge" ; you have a lot of stealth and can burst from stealth non stop (pistol 5 + dodge, then burst with skill 1 from stealth), on ranged so you are less vulnerable. In pvp this works A LOT better than wvw because in pvp are much less reveals so you don't have to rely on the "Unhindered Combatant" that much

    As a big fan of FFXIV who's played for years now, I can, in fact, say that the beginning is....AWFUL, but it does indeed get 100000 x better the later you get, and it's still one of my favorite MMOs to this day
    Breaking into the classes later level skills is where it really matters. Running later dungeons/raids/trials is where FFXIV shines in gameplay

    As a Power Deadeye in WvW, I can absolutely sympathize. Unless you're a pack of Thieves, you're not killing anybody on your own 😅 It's not that you're 'bad', but rather everyone else is way way better. Even had a few folks last night on TC ask me 'why bother? Most tags won't take you'.

    I agree with you about WoW - I cannot see myself going back. FFXIV though is worth more than 10 hours. It just starts out *very* slow; you really do have levels to learn each new move. Max level play is very different. Maybe after 10 hours after a level skip might get you a decent idea, but not 10 hours from level 1.

    Gotta come back to the wow comment. I went into New World and the combat systems are similar between GW2 and NW, and I also cannot go back to wow and I played since launch and lol I'm still watching the stream I couldnt do FF either. I never played it growing up, my friends were addicted to it, I went a different way playing doom, warcraft orcs and humans, and other nintendo/sega games. Did you ever try New World? It's 60% off now if you havent, and while not as deep as GW2, I'd say you'd probably like the combat system even more.

    • @arkdesign9517
      @arkdesign9517 Рік тому

      I would never ever recommend anyone to play NW again and I was one of their most vocal defenders to the point I was arguing with my friends about it. The game's pvp is fun, if you discount the constant desync and the fact that people with low ping have a HUGE advantage over you in every pvp situation. Apart from the rare occasions where you don't desync, pvp can be quite fun indeed, but that's literally the only thing that game has. It has no endgame at all, nothing to do and when you go out of your way to get full BiS for your build, the developers who are without comparison the biggest imbeciles and impostors in the gaming industry will piss on all your work rendering your gear completely useless. They did this to me twice.
      Dungeons are a complete joke, the easiest pvm I've ever done in any game. Brimstone Sands, the biggest expansion they came up with and worked like 2-3 years on is nothing but a chest run, it has nothing else to do in it.
      The game is nothing but a running simulator with artificially locked droprates and there aren't many mechanics in game that actually work right. Every single weapon has a bugged talent, a bugged animation or a bugged interaction, one way or another and when something becomes meta(because the baboons running the show don't actually play it) everyone plays it. I consider the 3.5k hours I put in it the biggest waste of time in my entire life and I'm begging people to read about it and ask people before going full in. The game has a lot of dopamine triggers that get people addicted, but once you get bored of that you will have realised your time was wasted for nothing. GW2 is superior in every single way, from the complexity of pvp and movement to how crucial your dodges are, to the vast highly active open world and events. Dungeons/raids are incomparable. Please, I beg people reading this comment to truly think about it before giving that game a second of your lives. It's just not worth it. I have led a 150man company that was split in a baby company to handle the people, only to watch each and every one of them quit the game because it's shit, or because of exploits, or because of duping, or because of desync/lag.

    • @OGParzoval
      @OGParzoval Рік тому

      @@arkdesign9517 I disagree, the season stories every 90 days, the raid and trials that have been added etc are excellent. They have been constantly improving the game and the dupes and stuff were at the beginning. Bots are gone etc. A lot of your complaints are basically year 1 complaints. I get it, you did not like the game. People do have issues, but I feel that's an issue with minimum system requirements being lower than they should be. Latency is always a problem with any PVP game it's a fact of life, and is 99% out of the provider's control. That's a function of several companies between you, your ISP, and AWS, and you never play this game on WIFI ever! It has a mostly positive rating out of tens of thousands of reviews on Steam so your opinion is likely in the small vocal minority.
      I like GW2 as well, but it's one glaring flaw is this 5pm reset and that every company does everything at 5pm, there are no late evening companies catering to people who might have jobs or kids and cannot be playing essentially when they're doing their commute home from work. So for me it's a single player game for the most part. The reset should be in the middle of the night so people are not sitting there having FOMOsis because of a 5pm reset.

    • @arkdesign9517
      @arkdesign9517 Рік тому

      @@OGParzoval also disagree, the game is still suffering badly, both from leadership incompetence and dev incompetence. The game still stutters bad, so much so it's a widespread problem. The meta is still bullshit, changing every time some muppet dev decides to put the people on the "gear treadmill". Heck, even the devs call it that, a clear indication how the game is nothing more but grind so you can grind more. Pvp is still packed, packed full of exploits, from people triggering lag when they get attacked, to auto dodge, aimbots and unfixed dupes. This isn't "something from a year ago", this is happening today. Trust me, man, I was new world's biggest defender, it took a year of hassle to reach these conclusions and I still keep up with it on the daily, these problems are all current, the irony is they're both current and have been in the game since day 1. When I go on discord with my new world buddies so I can watch them pvp, all I see is desync and them swearing. It's no longer an enjoyable experience. And the fact these baboons running the show are trying their best to milk the remaining population is the cherry on top. You're very welcome to enjoy the game, but if you're recommending it "cause the game ia good", you're lying through your teeth and you know. The game is dogshit, endgame is non-existent, pve is easiest in all MMOs, the combat system is ridiculously easy. Dodge spam watching people's animations when the animations are slow is a dogshit combat system, pure and simple. Combat system in gw2 is much more intense, much faster and your dodges are waaay more important. Idk, I just find the 3.5k hours I put in it to literally be the biggest time waste of my entire life, which is why I'll never recommend it and will beg people to do reading on it before buying anything ags/new world. I would say this is just caring for my fellow man, by not wanting to waste his time in a piece of shit of a game who's only real benefit is the graphics and sound. Every other system in game is either stupid, or much worse than other games have implemented. Sorry but this is the fact about new world, not "the game changed a lot". It didn't. Every patch, bugs existing since start but fixed are coming back, along with the stuttering, desync and lag. And the community is toxic beyond belief, from mass reporting people they don't like to get them banned, or cheating in wars or just talking smack all day. Besides, people only play that game solo because all their friends have left for better games. PS: the game is causing these issues on systems above 4k dollars, it's not a "minimum requirements should be higher", the engine is just that crap.
      If my voice is such a small minority, why did new world lose nearly 15 million active players and are down to at most 200k worldwide? You have max 20k concurrent players. It's dead.

    Not sure I should help you lol. To put it in WoW terms....you were playing PVP without using your trinket...a trinket that frees you from stuns and has the ADDED benefit of stealthing you. I'm sure if you played DD a lot, you'd rock with it. Here's where they're broken: imagine a rogue in WoW with multiple vanishes. Not like 2....like 4-5 with low enough cool downs where you can pretty much drop target on your enemies whenever you want. Now add the best dodges in the game and a blink with a huge range that you can reverse to get behind your enemies. They have massive escapability. MASSIVE. You were basically spamming your easy big hit weapon attack without any real set up, and your heal/stealth when needed. Also, while that trick elite can do a lot of cleave damage, try basilisk venom--you hit that and STUN on EVERY HIT...with a decent duration. It's STUPID strong. Also...the signet is great for condi drop...not a bad choice at all, but the pull gets your single targets out of position--really nice when trying to isolate one guy from his buddies. I have never had much success with it, but I have been on the receiving end in wvw a lot. Candy has it DOWN. And I didn't notice, but the reason stealth is so important offensively are those stealth attacks (usually auto turns into one and sometimes dual wield attacks). That's a huge part of your damage. Start adding combo fields and...god they are broken in wvw....you would think reveals would FUCK them, but they really don't. They just use one of their OTHER vanishes when available. or SS...haha bye, stealth....

    I have a Thief and I rarely play it. I've had an easier time understanding my Elementalist (a complexity that my brain still barely comprehends). I openly admit to sticking with variations of my 3 main classes: necro, mesmer, and ranger.
    --------------
    As someone currently playing FF14, I can say in all honesty, A Realm Reborn (ARR, lvl 1-50) is bad overall mixed with occasional good bits. It gets better and better every 10 levels after that (Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker).
    However, I'm finding that lvl 70-90 mobs hit me like a semi-truck hitting a stroller (I'm currently on my max level Scholar (a barrier healer)) it's not been a fun time for me. I'm seriously thinking about switching to one of melee jobs and working on getting it to max level. I've found get through the high-level content is much easier on a ranged dps job (i also have these at max level) than on my healer.
