Guild Wars 2

I wanna hear why you like playing the Thief. What makes you want to go back on and play some more! I just need a little push to finally decide. I wanna join the club…

I don’t have a thief but they keep destroying me in pvp, so if I don’t quit playing due to all the other bugs, I may make one.

I feel like Joker when I’m playing Thief.

i love my thief cuz i go full berseker/valkyre set ;D

both pve and pvp

ppl complaining about the thief, when he starts spamming heart seeker, dodge or die

I keep playing the thief because it’s the ultimate troll class.

My personal feeling is that they really nailed a great “feel” for the way that the thief class plays. This is a combination of the very quick animations, moving in and out of smoke/shadow effects, teleporting, etc. it just feels very much like this shark circling its target.

It has a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, because you feel a bit squish until you learn you need to be constantly on the move, constantly moving in and out of your stealth, or in and then away from your target. But that mobility, combined with the animations and effects that go with it, really give it a great vibe.

My only gripe with the thief, and this is a small one, is that we could use a little more weapon variety. I think on the whole, I tend to pick one of a few different setups and run with that (for PvE at least), so it’s not like I want to change things up all the time, but I think the class overall feels… compared to other classes I’ve played… like it could use just the expansion of possibilities that one more weapon could bring to the mix. I’m not sure if one of the existing weapons is appropriate, but that’s just my two cents.

Otherwise, it’s awesome

I love the thief, because I can play him like a ninja. I almost never use stealth, I am a dodge rolling, whirl evading fiend of goodness and I love playing her that way. – It takes a little while to get used to, and you are punished if you fail a dodge and dead if you fail two, but you have more endurance regen, and more evades than anything else that moves. Its very much like a troll on speed infuriating for whoever youre fighting, especially if you are dagger/dagger x2 and not focused on heartseeker, the fotm spec.

Why love thief? The better question is, why not? Gap closers with insane damage, and just as much survivability as any other class.

In all honesty, there is really no reason to roll anything else the way things currently stand other than a 2h sword class.
