Guild Wars 2

So not only can you spam heartseeker 5 times and have it hit up to 11k damage on ONE heartseeker…but it is also homing as well. So I can out maneuver someone but have it be useless since they can just press 1 buttons over and over to stay on me wherever I blink/ tele/ dodge roll/ etc… to. This is not skill.

Let it be a skill shot. so they have to actually aim it. As well as not be spammable. I have another post on spamming it.

if they’ve used it 5 times in a row then they aren’t specced pure damage, it would only be hitting for near 11k if you were already more or less dead and then of course they’ve burnt all their weapon cooldowns on this one skill.

Plus you’d then ruin the skill for those that use it for things other than spamming it to down bads in wvw/hotjoin.

You are getting off topic. I am not talking about the damage in this thread I am talking about the fact that it is perma-homing, no matter where you go and no matter if you are not in the thiefs field of view.

So are a lot of attacks, should they all be nerfed because you don’t put any thought into countering them?

So far it sounds as if you are complaining because your being chased by a skill that’s made to chase people while also qq’ing about thief mechanics you have next to no understanding of.

hehe Das put your money were your mouth is and show me your amazing understanding of the thief mechanics.

I know the mechanics of all classes because I play them all EXTENSIVELY.

Don’t replay to posts if you have nothing helpful to add.

Other skills are not spammable so it is not an issue. Stay on topic or don’t post. I am not talking about other classes just this one.

From your extensive complaints about a mechanic that is not an issue in Tournaments ( as good players do not do this only in SPvP ), I am seriously doubting your fluidity in knowledge of how the professions work, Especially when people have told you how to counter this, I listed at least 6 things on your other thread complaining about the same skill, that you repeated here and just added the homing feature to it.

well you seem to think that using up all initiative is nothing to a thief when its basically the same thing as another class spending all 8 weapon cooldowns, granted on the same skill but since that one skill by itself is not going to murder people unless they don’t take any actual actions against it.

ok give all classes initiative. I would love to do 5 whirlwinds as a warrior

if warriors had initiative whirlwind would most likely be 4 cost and thus not as spammable.

And if your counter argument is “give everyone this” then why bother making more than 1 class? just remove all professions make a new one called “noob” and give them every single mechanic in the game without thinking of how certain things are balanced around certain mechanics etc.

Fact is your bitter because you got killed, you got killed because you ran away at low health and someone used a skill designed to chase down and finish off people running away at low health.

The fact that heartseeker is spammable doesn’t change this all it does is make it sound like you only fight thieves that don’t really understand how things work and will have to run away or promptly die soon after “spamming” you with that one attack which once again only really deals damage if your low health already.

This sort of complaining is everywhere from people that haven’t a clue how things work, heck you still get people yelling at thieves being OP after they die from stuff like siege weapons in sPvP.

Either start using something to defend yourself against the attacks or try rolling a thief and see how well YOU do with this “overpowered and unfair skill”

oh right I read it and wish I didn’t and obviously you didnt read anything I typed. I play all classes extensively.

You play all the classes so extensively that you know everything there is to know about them, yet your here QQing about a mechanic that doesn’t work 80% of the time against players that Know all the professions extensively.

Yep except all other professions can switch weapons and have a whole new set of cooldowns to use, if a thief uses all his initiative thats ALL his initiative regardless of whether they swap weapons. So thieves get 12 initiative (at base) most others get 8 cooldowns, ele’s and engineers get slightly more with their own mechanics.

12 inititiave at best gives 4 attacks before your relying on the regen compared to everyone elses 8 before they are stuck waiting on cooldowns, sure thieves regen is faster than most cooldowns (our longest weapon cooldowns are 8s at base initiative regen) but thats again because we don’t get as many as others do before resource limitation kicks which limits choice of how many attacks we can make before we limit our other attacks/weapon swaps.

Fact is your incredibly ignorant of so many things and yet you think because you died to a skill doing what its meant to do that you didn’t even try to defend yourself against that something is unfair.

Lol been playing my thief since we started back and forth…have died once and have been spamming 2 for leet skill kills

Where though? In WvW and hotjoin low level spvp I can spam autoattacks on my ranger and get kills with next to no deaths.

Just because people don’t defend against it doesn’t mean its undefendable.

yeah I can’t imagine all the lies I see here. minus the fact that you spam one skill. That is the understanding of the profession, I hate saying this, I tried to help you understand how Heartseeker is not the OP skill your are trying to make it out to be. Others have tried and your only response is I don’t care or I didn’t read cause your wrong. So ergo here it is

Learn to play, and stop QQing

And every one that complains about thief being overpowered with no real evidence should be reported for harassment :P

Stop crying about stuff that is not broken.
