Don't hesitate 03/07/2004 01:02 PM CST

Came out of the forge and caught XXXX stealing off of me. I tried to advance but XXXX must have hidden again. I waited and saw XXXX come back into the room a few moments later. I then halted XXXX and took my crossbow off my shoulder and aimed it at XXXX. I then hesitated and didn't fire, deciding that I'll just be on my way to the boat I needed to catch. XXXX then said I must die and soon thereafter I was backstabbed twice to my death. XXXX then left the room for a few moments only to come back and drag me to the clerics. Guess I need to improve my CvC, or PvP (whichever one applies) skills.

Made a long day interesting though.

Always kill first!!!

Then ponder the question of right or wrong.

If you get the halt, finish the deal...

Hesitate my arse. You are never going to stand toe to toe with a thief. First thing is your perc sucks to bad. Second thing is thiefs are way overpowered. Well made thiefs half pally/barb circ can and DO take down big circ pallys and barbs. My 50s uber trained thief can mess up my 90ish pally. Ya its true if my pally can get some clumsy spells off I can kill a thief. Truth is my thiefs BS and khri skills major P-own. Yup id be the first to tell you its a major class imbalance, but thats just the way it is.

A 90th pallie who gets owned by a 50th thief isn't even trying. The first time I took down a 50th+ thief was at 34th circle. Work your perception, use GoL, add in a CV rune for good measure, and watch the thief whiff her backstab. Then grapple her for good measure and spank her to death.

If I were killed by a thief half my circle (while not AFK), I would be so embarassed I'd reroll.

Stevoson,

Umm, my perception is higher than any of your UBER TRAINED 50+ thief's weapons and I'm barely 50th myself. Just because you train doesn't mean none of us do. If I even know you are in teh same room as me, your only prayer is sniping. You'd never get to melee on me to ambush. Yes thieves khris are powerful, but are trumped by <insert secret power move>. A little clarity and I'm going to see you, watch you and take out yoru chest with one smite. Oh and toe to toe? You'd be dead faster than you can type depart.

Of course, playing devil's advocate here, Kolaisa is an exceptional example of paladinhood, and there are many paladins who are significantly less powerful, circle for circle.

<<<Kolaisa is an exceptional example of paladinhood>>>

I'd take a bow but I think most would rather wipe their arses with my actions and rants rather than praise them.

The point of my previous post being that any 50+ of any combat guild that over trains is a monster. But claiming that a thief, any thief for that matter, can stand toe to toe with me who is within 5 - 10 circles is rediculous. Toe to Toe, thieves suck. 99% of all paladins would wipe the floor with a thief of the same circle. Cookie spar helps them a bit but that's not enough to do anything against a paladin.

snap SR
snap AS
snap HoW
snap RW if the thief is dodging and not parrying
and you're TOAST.

The other thing to remember, is the average thief is very weak to SF, and, if they use spar or stab boosters, they aren't using mental, so halt and teasing them with a wand works fine.

I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man, target practice on the other hand, is another matter entirely.

We can sit around and speculate all day, but until there's an all out guild war we won't know for sure..
