Guild Wars 2

If i as a thief carry orb and try to use either shadow step or inf. arrow, my character drops the orb yet warriors can use their GS moblity spells w/o losing orb. What?

It’s because warrior has fair mobility.

Thief has cheating dirty mobility.

Well shadowstep would take you much closer because you can bypass the stairs . I believe it works with heartseeker , dosent it?

Sword/greatsword warrior is about as fast over distances as thief, but yes, teleports with the orb would be horrible. Infiltrator’s arrow—shadowstep—infiltrator’s arrow—steal and you’re there!

but war does the same thing basically tho

let’s put the fact aside that they are tanky and take no dmg for given period of time

my point was, i agree that if you carry orb you shouldn’t be able to teleport around with it, i just don’t understand why wars allowed to do it or maybe it is just a bug

Think of it this way: even if a warrior uses endure pain, zerker stance, and balanced stance all at the same time, he could theoretically still get stability stripped and stunned/knocked back. There is no way to keep a thief from using shadowstep or steal. Invulnerabilities like mist form or elixir S also drop the orb. In other words, it’s never absolutely impossible to do anything to the orb carrier.

Mobility gaps are an issue though, and when spirit watch first came out, rtl was considered OP on spirit watch.

Keep in mind this isn’t limited to thief. The orb drops with any type of teleport. If it didn’t, you’d see a hell of a lot more mesmers logging on for spirit watch.

yeah, I cant portal the orb… wtf anet…. mesmer not OP enough! and buff thief cuz kitten youuuu! and add monks

Get a dagger on main hand the 2 skills that roll backwards (Heal and the one that gives you initiative) use the signet that gives u 25% speed Boyy ull carry dem noobs
