Utility
Skill Variants
Heal
- - worse cleansing but it might work better under pressure due to the lower cast time (assuming it blocks an attack). The same's true the other way around, this could let you quickly recover some health while pressuring targets without skipping a beat. Both healing skills are popular options.
Elite
- - this is seen as less competitive and thus much less popular, but the
Quickness could help you deliver burst damage while also buffing your team. is often used with this elite for even stronger bursts.

- - strong AoE damage procs on low CD. It's less bursty than the current relic, but the damage is more spread out which means it could make even your weaker attacks more threatening.

The nerf literally did nothing lol, it's still the most busted pvp class in the game. Ridiculous
Stupid build, perma uptime on resolution and near perma protection plus high stability. The only thing that can outrun it is a daredevil (Because it's faster than any other thief spec) and it's damage is ridiculously high and uninteractive. Wb doesn't even get that affected by boonrip or corrupt because it just cleanses and regenerates all of them immediately. The only thing stronger than spear Wb, is a bigger brain spear Wb
High mobility, high maintenance, high damage. but short cd ...? well . they never nerf because the designer plays Guardian. Easy to play. The best choice for RANK games.
It's easy to play and offers overwhelmingly strong DPS. Jump in, one-shot your target or the enemy team with solar storm, then pop Renewed Focus and run or port away. With all the ports, it's essentially Thief 2.0, but without the drawbacks. While it’s not as strong in P2/P3, you're mainly up against the minority who possess the knowledge and speed to counter it. The only true drawback is that it's squishy, but you have a robust boon setup with Aegis and Resolution spam to mitigate a significant amount of damage. Although not mentioned, this is likely to be added to the nerf list for the October 24 patch. If it isn't, it won't be long before it meets the same fate as Warrior Spear/Staff.
Very strong, good sustain, great against condis, only loses when it's outgunned, which isn't often. the amount of mobility the build has makes it easy to leave a fight that isn't going your way. If people using terrain is making it difficult, swap OH sword to torch.
