Why is TW so low on the tier list?

[Spreeuw]

Hello community,

When I read her skills and what she could be, the TW seems possibly like one of the strongest classes. Yet, she is not at the top of the tier list. What are her flaws, and how do I deal with these? I saw that the guide on TW here is a bit old and involves a complicated point jungling scheme throughout the playthrough. Has the skill line up something to do with it?

Thanks in advance,

Spreeuw

TW only flaw is not having oneshot protection.
The forum tier list take madness into account, which makes it bad. That's why TW isn't tier A there, because you need overwheling offense/defense or both to have a shot at madness and TW is only really good.

Here is another tier list, imo closer to reality : https://te4.org/wiki/User:Bpat

And here is a good guide that is up to date : http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=46851

Bpat undervalue hounds imo, but otherwise it's accurate.

Thank you very much!
I like the idea of the TW so far, bit find it hard to decide on skilling etc. I am sure the guide you referenced will be helpful!
