Guild Wars 2

So please explain the reason for blind spam. Blind shoot you stealth blind shoot you stealth and it goes on until you are dead. how do you beat that? let me guess run away. I have never read so many forums in a mmo where the best advice is run away. devs give me a honest to good reason for this and how you see it being fair. thiefs get stealth so I cant see to hit them but I cant hit them out of stealth either. real something is wrong when a 4 people cant kill a thief. people call them gods in wvw. there shouldn’t be a place for god builds in mmos. do the right thing and nerf this.

yes, stealth is unbalanced in this game. yes blindspam is hardcountering certain professions and it’s broken but you better deal with it because anet won’t change that.

The usual answer is to play a thief. At first you’ll get your butt kicked again and again because stealth isn’t the perfect solution that you imagine it to be. Once you’ve found out how to play a thief properly you’ll know all the counters and be able to deal with them when playing another class.

I played thief since launch and know everything of how it functions. Thus this is applied to any alts I play and they end up steamrolling the poor lil guys.

Sure, nerf thieves even more.

My biggest complaint about stealth is how they can still revive downed allies and finish downed enemies while stealthed. Don’t know how many times i have been finished in wvw or seeing a teammate get finished while i am in the middle of reviving them by a thief i can’t even see.

To answer your question, we have to ask “is X fair?” Is crit spam fair? Bleeds? Poison? How about toughness and vitality stacking? 5v1 fights? etc.

If a thief is blind spamming you. They’re giving some thing up in order to spam that blind. Exploit that.

use multi hit attacks… for example that type of play is near useless vs flamethrower engineer wow 1/10 hits got blocked gj

He’s right about the hard countering. Certain builds are simply crushed because of it while different builds on that same class will do fine.
