I don't know how much damage does the doohickey, but in groups I've had IS crit for around 18k sometimes. (obviously just the first hit)
by my own, I get it to crit around 10-12k or so.
Doohickey does more damage than that? o.O

To my knowledge, TRs actually have to thank the PvP Community for every single reduction of damage. The only PvE related 'nerfs' are to stuff that allows bypassing on content, like for example, bosses, to get directly to the last one.

Yep. The TR is my favorite character, but PvP has made its PvE effectiveness pretty bad now. But you know, the squeaky wheel gets the most grease! So, PvP complaining about being owned repeatedly by TRs made them a non-factor and caused the GWF to have no real competition when it comes to PvP, except maybe some good CWs. . .
I still love the game, just disappointed what PvP did to the TR.

There is a growing voice (getting louder and louder every day) about the ineffectiveness of TR's currently. Mostly surrounding our reduced damage. If you want to see positive changes I would suggest leaving feedback on what is lacking. I have been on preview alot testing how TR will fit in pvp for mod 4. It is not looking good as our perma builds are less effective and the damage builds are lackluster as ever.

I hear a lot of this but on more then 1 occasion I've seen TR's soloing T2's they skip most the trash but being able single man bosses seems like their not as bad as people say, heck my roommates main is a TR and he is constantly #1 in DPS in dungeons, if I'm not there that is, granted i still think they could use a little buff.

If he's #1 in dungeons then he's probably pugging it which doesn't say a lot. Sure they can probably solo a lot of stuff if they know what they're doing, but they're still not wanted particularly on the team. Why pick a tr when you can just pick a gwf who does the job much better and aoes. If they could still skip trash, they'd possibly still be considered, but they fixed a lot of that.

I agree with you that's why i rolled a GWF personally, but tbh their not as horrible as people make them sound on the forums, and i know how it is with not being wanted on a team as my main is a HR. All I'm saying is that their not quite as bad as people make them out to be, but could still use a buff.
I compare it when battling IWD monsters, with my TR I have a lot more trouble than with my GWF or CW, on those last two I just kill the enemy groups in a few secs, and I'm mostly never about to die. With my TR is takes longer and if I screw up, I have to react quickly or get killed.
Also, smokebomb or dazing strike isn't too useful in there, lots of enemies are inmune to it, so it leaves TRs with less tools to defend ourselves. Or the boss from Biggrin's tomb, that can see right through stealth, it leaves us with ITC as out only defensive move. (no stealth and no dazing strike or somekebomb either)
When pugging in Skirmishes or some dungeons, sometimes I still top executioner, but if there's a GWF or CW that knows what they're doing, I might end up doing half their damage or something like that.
I'm a all ranged whisperknife though, things might be different, I'm better at AOE damage than a MI probably. (and worse at single target damage).

Well it's not like you can't do the content with them, if we're doing a dungeon and a guildie wants in, I'm hardly going to say no unless there isn't really a place for him (ie 1 melee only in a CN group unless the group is top notch) but they do fall short compared to others. So yes they're not completely useless providing they know what they're doing, but they definitely could do with pve love.

Part of the issue is this yes. The other component is that the TR suffered from its own popularity. Like when the HR came out, and like the SW no doubt will go through as well, everyone and their moms wanted to be the dual wielding ninja death monkey. Problem was that the vast majority played at a "sub par" level and thus in the eyes of the meta elitists, they deemed the class less than optimal. This sentiment was adopted and when combined with nerfs based on the ridiculous notion of balancing PvP you end up where we are today.
Good TR's are out there, we're just so far and few between so as to be almost a myth. We resorted to guild groups since the vast majority of the player base sees the TR as a stigma. I've only recently started venturing back out into pug land lately. The myth about not enough damage isn't completely true either as I consistently do 12mill or more in MC runs with three 16k GS CW's from my guild. We do plenty of damage you just need to know how to do it.
I am optimistic about mod 4 as a lot of TR players will gravitate to the SW thus "culling" the herd so to speak. Not everyone makes a good ninja.

I dunno, if he is #1 in DPS I would question who he is running with. Not doubting you but it is just so easy for other classes to out DPS us, specifically CW and GWF currently.

I honestly hope you are right for mod 4 however if the preview server is any indication its is going to be a rough start for TRs. And for PVP it is going to be even more pronounced.

you are so wrong on every lvl.
this is 80% pve game which all polls confirmed.
and best class for pve is and always was cw.
so cw is and will be the most popular class in game(not talking pvp but the whole game)
so saying everyone wanted to play tr has no logic.
clear case is gwf once they got pve buff so many people rolled one(sure some roll for pvp,but 20 people who bought some gear dont make the game)
now playing with overgeared tr in a guild is no were near good enough to be viable as a class in pve game.
in pve game tr has nothing to offer its utter dissapointment.
its like the song cw and gwf sing
anything you can do,I can do better. / Ha! / I can do anything, Better than you
biggest and only problem trs have is that on every thread some tr shows up saying tr is still good in pve.
so if anyone ever read this forums they would think ah its still fine trs are satisfied as it is
same time cws are realy upset abouth the nerf and will go crazy if they dont have at least 3 in the same group
but trs can be happy if there is one in 30 groups
i fail to see any logic what so ever in your post
but u achived your only goal u posted you are good pve tr
I won't bother with much more response than suffice to say almost every poll taken has similar results until the HR came out and overtook the TR's top spot. A little investigative search of these forums would do you some good. CW popularity isn't even close.
Honestly don't know you or what your problem is but I'm sorry if you are in fact one of the shunned due to being sub par.

are we still talking about it?
we have the worst single target damage between warlock and gwf and soon GF (mod 4).
we are the class with 0 aoe damage.
we are the most squishy.
we are the class with the lowest AP gain.
we are the class with the lowest HP.
we are the most nerfed class.
every other class is gonna be buffed to hell in mod 4.
Bilethorn is gonna be nerfed.
We are the only class without free armor pen throught stats.
We are the class with the ****tiest feats and the most bugged ones.
We are the class with secondary stat (CHA) that is SUPPOSED to give us combat advantage damage but it doesnt.
Stealth is actually a joke, target lock plays an important role here.

you are showing me the poll one and a half year ago
before the game even started
loooooooool
no one even knew nothing abouth the game
one month in the game this changed radicaly
and since tr nerfs no one wants to play the class
i still cant belive u posted a year and 6 months old poll like it was yesterday

sure everyone wanted to play ninja trickster but as soon as the game was released cw was looking better by the day with that sing repel down the cliff thing.which is way cooler then any tr trick
and after the tr nerf the class became dead.

Doohickey does more damage than that? o.O
Cause PvE is So retardedly easy....
this entire game is sinking faster than the titanic
This is a roleplaying game, not a competition, unless you are an avid PvPer, which you might be.
Instead of complaining, try to have some fun. Not all bug fixes are easy to fix.
