Guild Wars 2

Hi, i play a thief as main and also play warrior and guardian.
Many people are complaining about the above abilities, I think that on a “duelist” POV they are just fine, but as a grp pvp player (s/t pvp and wvwvw) they are externally over powerd due to the cone AE capabilities.

These abilities should be single target only, or, cone AE but hitting the adjacent targets for 50% or less of the main target’s damage.

As it is, a single warrior or thief can laterally obliterate 3+ players, specially in wvwvw were there is lag and low fps making it impossible to avoid.

Whirling Wrath (Guardian Greatsword) and similar abilities start doing their multi-hit damage immediately.

Pistol Whip has a start up delay (the single target Stun), wich gives time for secondary targets to get away – if they don’t, they deserve to eat the cone damage.

Furthermore, lag is not an argument, as the game shouldn’t be based around it.

Hundred blades is fine. You can’t move so people can easily dodge it.

No idea on pistol whip, I hear it’s stupid OP though.

To the guy before me, hundred blades is the many slashes in front of you move, not the whirl.

I wouldn’t say that any spell is over powered, especially not when all classes have something as powerful.

protip to counter dangerous self-rooting abilities: move

Yes because all classes have something as powerful (sarcasm)

Thief = pistol whip
Eng = don’t know don’t play them or see them
Guardian = spin to win
Warrior = hundred blades
Ranger = rapid fire
Ele= dragon tooth
Mesmer = blurred frenzy
Necro = see eng

I still believe that abilities with such a destructive power, able to but out 7k+ dmg should never be aoe at least not FULL dmg aoe, split the dmg though all the targets or hit 1 for full dmg and the others for half or less.

I play a thief and i know what I’m talking about. in tpvp in Forest of Niflhel i normally rush to the boss near the opposite team spawn and hit them with 2x PW with Haste wile they are clumped up on the boss and i kill most of them and steal the boss kill. it is fun to do but extremely op too…

Hundred Blades is indeed easily dodged, just like the Guardian’s Whirling Wrath.

Pistol Whip is even easier to dodge.
The first hit is single target, takes like 1 second to perform, only stuns for only 0.5 seconds while the “cone multihit” lasts for around 2 seconds.

This means even the one who got stunned can dodge out of the way (tip – dodge TOWARDS the Thief, and you’ll end up behind him/her)

If you get hit by the full brunt of such attacks, you deserve the defeat.

No.
I specifically wrote (Guardian Greatsword) after Whirling Wrath.
Hundred Blades is the Warrior Greatsword skill, and it is quite similar, except for the fact it only hits in front of you, and hits hardest on the last attack.
