Thats because 90% of a thief pk occurs before the fight starts. Its all about having a nice set, being hasted, and some shield/stoneksin doesnt hurt either. Once in the fight itself, all you need to do is prevent them from fleeing and thats that. Lets not even throw in blind/curse scrolls...anyone who isnt flying deserves whatever is coming to them.

If your not hasted, after that dual backstab the hero arial sword spec is going to parry 100% of what you have coming, hitting you with riposts in the process. Ugly. Lets not even talk about how taking away dual backstab and giving warriors huge hp gains from 41-->51 affects the matchup between thieves vs warriors at hero. Personally, I dont give a ####, it just makes it harder and more of a challenge to kill people.

Romanul.
