*thieves

And it would be more constructive if you specified a little more on what you mean. PvE, PvP, WvW? Stealth, Damage, Speed?

Yep.
Increase cool down of skills by 60s, reduce damage dealt by 1000, cannot heal, insta-killed when receive any damage etc. etc. By the end of the month, all thieves will be wiped out from all account. Any account with thief on it will be perma banned. Happy?

Seriously? This kind of troll thread?
You don’t even elaborate any reason for a serious discussion..

Take it back to the drawing board and get rid of that ridicilous spam stealth in combat.

( I most likely getting the good ole “L2P” “argument” thrown at me but its ridicilous as it is)

don’t fee the troll

Sorry for deeply offending.. Just an opinion

k

Its part of a dynamic combat system, meaning it has multiple aspects. positioning condition, active dodge, interrupts, stealth, mobility, way better then marcoing imo. its l2p. thieves jst got a huge nerf along with every other zerker class. ive had no problems post patch with thieves unless it was a p/d condi.

I can’t really comment on the specifics to the thief class specifics that may be overpowered or not, but I can attest to the rage inducing play style that makes me want to headbutt my monitor when taken down by a thief and having a giant cow planted on my face.

Here’s my two cents that wasn’t asked for. I can’t play that kind of thief. I tried and the play style is not my flavor. After several failed attempts to lvl 20-30, I finally was able to get a thief to 80. I followed several builds across dagger/dagger, dagger/pistol and sword/dagger. Spent way too much gold outfitting my thief, per these builds and I found nothing changed. I still sucked at playing a thief. I could not, for the life of me, mirror those shadowy terrorists in WvW that would solo, or two man, and flat out destroy 3-5x their numbers and then vanish, only to repeat it again. They were like lions, snagging the weak in a stampede and thinning the herd. What makes it even more amazing, to me, is that I can’t do it. I tried and I don’t have the skill to do it.

More power to the folks that can.

So, I avoid them. Rule of the jungle out there…they are the hunters and if I’m not keeping an eye out, I’m going to be the pray.

What of my thief now? I’m having a blast playing pistol/pistol. It’s fun. I’m not a dangerous hunter, but I’m having a good time. And that’s all that is important for me.

Well i play Engi and when i see a thief… there’s not much i can do. Maybe it’s just me which it probably is. I’ll just have to get used to it.
