Guild Wars 2

So.. I just got 1-shot by a thief in spvp….

Invis, popped out and killed me like nothing.

Why do people still play this game? Is it because its so easy for certain classes? I really don’t see how getting 1-shot by someone is competitive or fun at all.

Im on the brink. Waiting for other games to release officially so I can cleanse myself of gw2.

one shotted on necro? do not believe

sounds like googles work

You’re exaggerating. It screams L2P.

You cant 1 shot people but you can 2 shot . Basilik venom+ CnD+Backstab is what a thief has to do to kill you . To get such high damage he will probably use assassin’s signet which takes away 1 of his defensive utilities. He probably has no point in shadow arts therefore no blind on stealth , no condi removal , no HP regen .

Conclusion if this little combo misses, the thief can die from simple autoattacks . Is it OP? Not really , this is what we call a glass cannon

Until he uses SHOOOORT BOOOOWWWWW <— kitten this weapon

Although they can kill very fast I think sometimes lag is the reason it seems like instant death.

A lag meter in game would be very helpful.

Coulter loves shortbow :P

Only way a thief can down you in less than 3 sec is if they run signet spec which can burst about once every 30 seconds. You can see the spike coming from a mile off and if he misses cnd twice he’s dead and even if he doesn’t you can always cc then and kill them/blind them.

Play PvP for a while and you’ll find that heavy burst like this is pretty rare as any build that can pull this off will spend the majority of the game on their back or away from fights.

Also, if you’re getting hit like this, you’re probably really glassy yourself. That may be part of your issues.

…but I doubt you’re here to find out what went wrong in attempt to improve and counter this. I think you just want to vent a bit. =P

Problem is they need very high damage or the whole game mode becomes a boring bunker-fest. So, whilst it isn’t ideal to have massive damage, it is very needed. In fact damage is too low in the game right now relative to sustain

Really? It seems that the TTK ratio is really really high.

Deffinitely AK. Maximum deeps.

i don’t think that even full glass thief can one shot a necro… unless that necro has no amulet, no runes, no points in traits
