Guild Wars 2

I actually miss the warrior meta… at least warriors played to take points. Now all I see if thieves glory farming randoms. 7 thiefs and a Mesmer on one team. We went from condition wars with necros.. now we have spam wars with thieves. sigh

Spam what ? :/ thieves didn’t get buffed

What are you talking about? Lol. This def isn’t the thief meta

> 7 thiefs and a mesmer

Don’t worry guys, he’s talking about hotjoin.

Thieves were nerfed hard, lol…

I would say the meta (so far) hasn’t changed at all. I still see condi necros, tanky dps warriors, spirit rangers, and engis in solo que. I could be wrong but doesn’t seem like much has changed yet.

As far as hotjoin glory farm weren’t we expecting that?

I’m curious what buff you think we Thieves got.

Are you talking about the MASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIVE base initiative regen? lolol

I think he means the droves of (new) newbs running berserkers amulets and the droves of tryhards stacking the other team to farm them

What new meta? The top teams set the meta. Solo queue isn’t the meta, bro. This patch has been out for 12 hours.

sorry looking at hot join.. all you see is thieves… and its because of initiative change everyone is flipping to thieve because its even less skill to spam them now.

lolwat?

Thieves have one of the highest skill ceilings (hard to master), and Thief initiative regeneration was actually nerfed overall for the builds that took all of it and balanced out to be a very, very minor buff for those that didn’t.

In other words, Thieves weren’t buffed, the strongest build (S/D + SB 10/30/0/30/0) was nerfed hard and the other builds received a barely noticeable buff.

If you’re actually having trouble with Thieves, then may I politely suggest that you post on the Thief forum with any issues that you’re having; we’ll be more than happy to help you.

OUR TIME HAS COME

jk thieves are still dumb.

Is there even such a thing as meta in hotjoin?

Hotjoin is its own separate game mode/zone/community/place/planet

I said one of, and it’s true. A Thief at the top tier of play is hard to master thanks to just how squishy the profession is compared to others.

If you played a Thief you would know this.

Thief got buffed lots actually the new initiative regen is crazy and they made pistol whip good again. So they did make it a lot easier to play…. But right now whats broken is condi mesmer with new signet.

Y theres no meta at all yet..

As a Ranger i can say you that i tried some Power builds yesterday and i found em very effective..
Ppl still run Spirit Ranger cause its undoubtely the supportiest build for Rangers right now..
But it may turns out that a 1500 range killing machine is usefull..
