Thieves need a boost.

Currently u dont really need any of the damaging units but the gunners to take down everything,i mean brutes are good so are the which doctor and other deffensive units,but any tactic i try with other damaging units fail.they are just not worth it while the gunners can attack from behind a double layered wall and not engage with mortar hits since they dont stack with melees,melee units need much more health than they now in my opinion,that way i would use thieves and others.

 

There are many threads about balancing the PVP. Couldn't agree with yo more, I would love to use a greater variety of units for battle.

 

perhaps they can have a disable effect that weapons near it have -10% firing speed or something..

 

At least traps, right? Isn't that something thieves are supposed to be good at? Like @Gristle said, there are lots of ideas in the forums about balancing out the thieves and other units too.

 

Trap evasion is my favorite idea for them them.

 

I'd settle for 10-15 seconds of invisibility while attacking stores. Anything to make the current skill useful.

 

I would love to use the Thieves, but there aren't necessary... unless they receive a boost.
Gunners take care of enemy resource buildings in two seconds

 

the more I play around with them the more I notice that their speed is their greatest advantage. Since that can be upgraded quite a bit I can only imagine how lightning fast they'll be once fully upgraded. At that point I might just use them in place of bucs, the same way I once used goblins in CoC

 

Yea. I can see them being useful upgraded. And I know at least one guy in our guild that uses them religiously.

 

That speed is useful in many ways, like when you forget to drop troops near some stupid building hidden in the corner of the map. Thief speed also applies to swimming, so they've been responsible for lots of 100% victories I probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

On a related note, I get scattering buildings, but I don't get why people put an outhouse or two in the corners. By making someone get 98%, aren't they just depriving themselves of a better shield?

 

Thieves are the best recruit in the game.

 

100% doensn't get you a better shield compared to 98%. If somebody does 40% the defender gets a 2 hour shield. And if somebody get a star the defender gets a 12 hour shield. Thats the options.

 

@The Fish Eyed Pirate Thank you for the correction. A lot of people miscalculate their shield's time remaining and think there are many different lengths. Then they post about it and Kels get confused. I'd always thought it was 2hr for 40% and *=6hr **=8hr and ***=12hr.

 

I totally agree, outhouses can take 800 damage, they are great to fill spaces next to a cannon or tower.
