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.
