I’ve been playing a bunker engineer build in sPvP for the past month or so and I never got all the complaints about thieves. Sure, I lost to a few good ones, but for the most part they weren’t a problem. I just decided to run a high damage build and, oh boy, I get what the issue is. I was running a bit of a glass cannon build (2300 armor) but I still had 24k health. It didn’t matter. Steal, C&D, backstab, and two heartseekers is all it took. Probably about 2.5 seconds and I was gibbed. Happened to me twice in two minutes by two different thieves.
The problem is that because they have stealth, you have no chance. The combo is over before you even realize what has happened. Thieves may need a buff against bunkers, but against other glass cannons they are way too powerful. I’d vote for giving them more defensive abilities whilst taking away some of the offense because, after those encounters, I’m never running anything but a bunker ever again.
