I will say it out loud. Thief waylay is far less useful than you think.

If there is a situation you want to use thief waylay over blackjack that does not involve the 'cb' command, you let me know. If you can't come up with one, you all are retarded and need to go back to the drawing board on playing thieves. Sufficient skill and planning, and not being a lazy fuck will prevent you from ever needing to waste four points on this skill.

In the meantime the only difference is that when it fires and fails they will speedwalk past you and may or may not return in the ensuing one round lag.

Blackjack has a two round lag on failure.

Most of the time if you fuck either one them up on someone you're praying you don't fuck them up, you're going to die.

Seriously, if you guys think thief waylay is better than blackjack to the point that you're going to waste 12 points stacking both, or use waylay and forego blackjack without replacing it with knock out poison, it is not just a polite suggestion, you have a RESPONSIBILITY to outline the pros and cons of both skills, and then KO poison on top of it as a third comparison.

Additionally, if you try to thief waylay, succeed or fail, you can't waylay ANYONE ELSE for six hours.

However blackjack can be attempted on anyone without a physical sleep protection timer.

I'm not saying the skill is useless. I'm saying you can replicate it's effects completely with proper planning.

Good thief skills vs. bad ones.

Well then, let's talk "best" build...

doge October 09, 2009 06:39AM

I wasn't discussing builds in this thread. That depends entirely on what you want to do.

Yes, but if you were quick enough on the ball you could have CB'd in the jack lag.

Um, have you ever...

I've had lore of the ages. The helpfile says it dodges item progs.

Scrimbul October 08, 2009 03:55PM

What's funny is that there is an item that does everything envenom does. NT

KennyPowers October 08, 2009 12:48PM

You will not always have that item. If you know about it, more power to you, save yourself 8 points.

Scrimbul October 08, 2009 04:01PM

Actually, you're kinda right. Getting that item before level 40 as a thief is real real hard. NT

Thief waylay

tongni October 08, 2009 10:04AM

I agree. Being thief-waylayed is horrible. (n/t)

Balrahd(VIP) October 08, 2009 01:03PM

Yeah. For the intimidation factor.

Scrimbul October 08, 2009 03:59PM

Oh come on dude. Seriously?

Java October 08, 2009 04:32PM

Counterstrike is huge, and even if the paladin in question is thief waylaid, they will be able to counterstrike out of any opener.

Scrimbul October 08, 2009 10:59PM

So..

Java October 09, 2009 03:31AM

Well, I'm not having the 'if paladins suck enough dick they can get as powerful as liches with less prep time/kill sealing ability' discussion today.

Scrimbul October 09, 2009 07:04AM

Of the last 5 hero paladins to get a PBF, guess how many had temperance?

Java October 09, 2009 10:57AM

Good for you?

Scrimbul October 09, 2009 12:55PM

Except you can thief waylay someone who can't be blackjacked.

KennyPowers October 08, 2009 04:27PM

You can also backstab, after prepping, someone who can't be blackjacked. It is not necessary to jack all, or even a signifigant portion of your kills prior to fighting. nt

Scrimbul October 08, 2009 10:42PM

Being waylayed is worse than being backstabbed.
