I "popcorn"ed the whole thread and thoroughly enjoyed the nerdrage and QQ. I tend to agree that thf is something you "settle" for in VW. I also don't think that you can justify yourself saying "youre a hypocrite because you admit drk performing at 90% of top dd is the same as the performing 60%".

The crowning moment of the thread is both people who bitterly fought for 2 pages instantly turned on the "u gaiz stop being so e1337izt" asshat and worked together. Remember kids, we can unite all the worlds people against some retard with no goals or work ethic, and a big mouth.

Hurray for year I was born post count!

It was closer to 4 pages, and it was indeed a barrel of laughs.

I need more popcorn. I ran out a page ago.

Yay for delusional people who are good at their jobs not believing that other jobs can do more damage if they are played just as well!

Let me pull up all my 2002 parses of lolDrg and lolThf kicking everyons ***! That is certainly indisputable proof that Thf and drg were the best jobs in '02! Then i can get my parses from 05' of my thf and drgkicking everyones ***! THen i can get my abyssea parses of me kicking everyones ***! Then i can get a parse from 2 days ago kicking everyones ***.

Undisputable proof that Thf and Drg have been and always will be the strongest DDs in the game!!!

Good god. If your good at your job you can kick most peoples ***. Shocking amirite?!

Protip: Anyone who eats the right food, picks the right atmas, uses their meds, plays aggressivly, gears properly, uses TP efficiently, reacts swiftly, and generally plays like a badass....will be a badass.

Protip2: Most people that bother to post regularly on the forums do a lot more of that than most people that play the game.

Protip CCCOOOOOMMMBBOOO!:
Combine both those points and it becomes clear why everyone who posts says "my jobs better than everyone elses!" because chances are most of us here are the strong players in game and make any job we play super awesome.

Your parse isnt special. Good players parse>Crap avg joe shmo players. Doesnt matter what job.

Lemme go get my LolBattleBrd parses. We have obviously been overlooking the powerhouse that brd is since i match ukko wars on lolBrd.

Get over yourselves already.

I use my thf for TH in abyssea only noob... Yes thf isn't that superb in VW but what if thats your best job? What if you have only mandeu...you want them to go like a +2 sam with gimp gear? Or would you prefer them actually enjoy their relic they earned? Talk about how thf can help...not how its bad. NO job is bad... What u think i dont own any empies lol? I used to be one of those people who enjoyed my 1k gekko spammin pre 80 cap.

Well in the good all days you gtfo until you level a job that has some utility for your shell. These days you start the shout group yourself to guarantee yourself a spot.

THF is useless in Voidwatch going by usefulness, it has close to no procs other jobs don't have, so it's the last thing you would bring.

This was actually my position from the very start.

Quote:
As of now, bringing SAM/WAR/MNK/RNG/COR for damage (assuming the people know what they are doing) is far better than bringing a THF, fact.

I'll agree to the last four. The first two because they are broken, the last two because as old guard I principally believe in stable tanking with ranged damage over zerging. I am unconvinced the latter two would be brought solely just for their dmg in a meele zerg oriented fight.

I take no position on SAM, I'm merely pointing out that whether or not SAM is good depends on how we are going to evaluate the job -- math or parse -- and that Generic is being hypocritical in the standards he applies to SAM because he wants to treat them as top flight but refuses to acknowledge THF could contribute

Quote:
Voidwatch is probably the worst event to parse things at, you either live and parse high or die and parse low. Knowing that, and then only posting a selected parse is stupid and everyone should be aware of that.

This is my point behind the pick your poison, math or parse, post. We can't compare parses directly so you have to accept the implications of parsing first hand.

inb4 "Chill", deleted posts, topic bans etc.

I've been banned from so many THF threads...

You can't use a parse to show DRK is a good DD, then make excuses for a SAM lagging behind in that parse... then just flat out reject a series of parses where a THF did well because "Oh those WARs must suck." Because then the rest of us turn around and go "How do we know the WARs you beat on DRK didn't suck? And that would make SAM even worse if they got beat by shitty WARs."

Not really my argument at all.

Was lucky enough to catch one of Skinner's shouts today for Pil. I went War, him on Thf.

This was the "fairest" parse. I was only weakened for the first 23% (the others were all way worse)

Skinner's Thf won, but I probably would have top'd him had I been unweak from the start. We agreed he was probably a very close second place to me.

He finished 6% ahead of the nearest alternate DD besides me (to be fair, the other WAR was proccing, the MNK was pure Vsmite). SAM and COR were another 2% below that.

Hmm I'd love to see Skinner's gear. His numbers are almost identical to mine. I've never done 4k on pil though, wonder what buffs he had.

His gear is top-notch for the most part. I had a COR giving me Miser's and Tactician. I have no idea what he had.

One caveat though, I don't have Stalwart/Champs

That would explain the low Ukko average. That nin's blade:hi is a bit higher than I'm used to seeing, but still pretty horrible relative to a real DD. Other than that, the numbers look normal to me.

Well from reading this entire topic I have learned that a great THF can't out do a great SAM/WAR/DRK/MNK, and if they so happen to it's a fluke. I was really hoping to get some valuable info from this topic but it looks like that won't ever happen because nerd raging SAM's,DRK's, and WAR's have to ruin it for us. So can we plz get back to the Topic of "Thief in VW" without any trolling from some Lucian Freud-looking pussies like Generic.

I think it was already answered. THF has no procs of their own, if you are going to zerg, you would bring zerging jobs.

Parses really don't mean anything. Parsing in VW is bar for the worst to compare when not everyone is going all out due to procs.

I take a thief because every time I do someone's getting bodies and more scrolls/plates/pouches. without there is a noticeable difference over the course of the last few months i've been at it.

There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that.

Not sure if this Is widely known, but when we I do Qilin/uptala I cap Green Light, and I usually get about 18k cruor everytime I kill...

there was a thf in our pt for a few kills, He managed to get Treasure hunter 8, and we got about 21k cruor...

I like to do Uptala and Qilin for cruor/plates, So im thinking bringing 1 thf and telling him to focus on nothing but stacking Treasure hunter for the extra curor.....

May not be the usefulness In VW thf was looking for...but hey its something right? >_>
