The classes are still imbalanced for conquest and for 1 vs 1. And what’s worse, unlike in league of legends where champions get balanced every patch. The balance team in Guildwars 2 hasn’t balanced their classes for a long while. I’m just wondering if they have given up.

Different specializations need buffs Da/Tri/DD is all fine but it is used with 3 different weapons sets since nothing beats them most times……

Tactical Strike doesn’t require you to be behind or flanking your target. Ofc you would land it. And you will also land your Backstab but you won’t necessarily land the double damage. That’s what is hard to land. What’s more, it’s hardly worth the effort.

this went strait over your head mate. when i say tactical strike i meant the dazed version, so yes i am behind said target…who uses it to blind people :p, how ever it is a bit faster at ‘casting’ then back stab is.

Tone down the damage and dodges and you’ll have to give thief more passive defenses to balance them. Thief was out of meta for the previous seasons. Even Toker, perhaps the greatest thief in the game’s history due to his amazing reflexes and initiative management, switched to revenant (which admittedly takes more skill since it has cooldowns on top of energy on top of the moves charging longer than thief and no shortbow 5 and Shadowstep to get out of town when needed, but) as it was objectively better (so long as you can time the skills right) and perhaps still is.

Oh no you actually need skill to fight the most skill and reaction dependent class in the game which also has the least passive defenses? Your lack of skill is OP confirmed.

I don’t even say I main thief anymore. I stopped playing it much because of the trash status it has been in. These days it’s not bad but it has become completely one dimensional and boring as a blow someone up then run away class, because any fight where they don’t win in the first ten seconds is lost. But ok you can go ahead and keep complaining about a class that is barely a notch above DH in today’s meta. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of sympathy.

= average thief player.

L2 predict, I dodge steals all the time. If any of you actually PLAYED thief it becomes very obvious when a thief is going to steal. Have you ever even played a fighter game like super smash or street fighter? Being competitive is like 20 percent reactions and 80 percent prediction. .

Yup. A good thief will predict your predicted dodge, and wait, baiting it out. So that leave you to predict his prediction, to which he’ll predict your prediction, and that prediction will need to be predicted.

It’s that simple!

You know you’re a true pro when you predict the 1200 range insta teleport steal coming from behind LoS while stealthed. Just got to play thief, you’ll see how easy it is!

And now you have a boon strip, daze on cooldown, and could even be feared due to a passive proc and the only really reliable interrupt to earth overload on cooldown.

People talk about specs and builds but there’s another thing that is overlooked: psychologies. If two people are equally skilled then psychological rock paper scissors could come into play and our psychological makeup determines our style/approach. Someone that’s a pusher (overextends and sometimes play like they’re winning even if they’re on equal footing in the matchup) could seem oppressive to a waiter/reactionary (someone who prefers playing black in chess or charge characters because they want to see what the opponent does first before committing) assuming they open with the correct decision but a waiter could shut down another style. You have small stable advantages and also watch for tiny windows to turn the table (tactical sense), you can play mind games or be a technician. Some classes may be good for some people but not others due to their general psychological makeup, which influences their values and approaches as gamers. Most people run metabuilds, so that means most will assume you have that build unless perhaps you’re running an unusual weapon set. You will be approached like you have the weaknesses of that metabuild, but you don’t have those traits and utilities, you have something else and that could leave them in an awkward situation.
