Guy predicts future release 2012
Well, that actually already happened. The circle just continues.
So, would you like to know why Thief more than likely (and I mean it is beyond unlikely) will not be op kitten? I highly doubt it will be broken, and if its moderately ok we will get hot nerfed faster than anyone can finish the balance patch.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.

That dude is the soccer mom, calculus nerd type of play that expects no positional play because he likes to sit there and play card game style. The type that think its only about rock vs paper and strategy and not about hand eye coordination. Thief has always been one of the classes that require more skill. And its little calculus nerds like this guy who cant aim a mouse and move his character artfully around that have helped ruin this game from all their qq. Go play wow, join a guild, join a raid then you can talk about all the statistics. They will love you because you play a healer and stand in one spot and heal and talk about statistics.

This is funny b/c all these thieves are getting all defensive…while completely missing the point of the video.
Here is a hint: the video isn’t really about how amazing thief is…
I laugh every time I see that video
LOL loved the video, thanks OP
So yeah the amount of naive people in this forum is amazing, never realizing that this kittening nerf/buff cycle is all thanks to the complaints and crying they make about the most stupid kitten they can think of, cause kitten L2P, everyone inside their minds most think they are among the top players so whenever they die it most be the game that is broken.
Like seriously I feel bad for you if you think the game is getting more balanced with each patch… It’s all the way around if you didnt notice that by now.

So long as we have long 3-4 month balance cycles, there cannot be any real balancing. Oversights can mean entire classes being meta or trash tier for an entire league season. Coefficient and cool down tweaks should really happen mid season. Better to shave than gut. Same is true for buffs.
“Number 1 elementalist in the world, 8 kills, what a noob.”
Always good to see a classic.
Oh and also
“Thief was never OP.” ~Every thief ever.
I remember that time in GW2 sigh
It was the era of invisi rendering thief’s in WvW. You could never seen them (rendering issues, no reveal = perma invisi). You always listened for the spam 2 sound to know an attack was incoming, cause literally that’s all thief’s needed to do. The number of times I reacted only to realise it was a team mate spamming 2.
Good times, good times.
A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”

It was also the time of 100% more confusion damage, and bursting confusion on a thief, then watching them destroy themselves was super easy, and oh so satisfying. Nobody ran condition cleanse back then XD

Off the top of my head didn’t perplexity runes come in after a time?
The thief spam 2 meta was around for awhile.
EDIT: Rune was added August 6, 2013.

Don’t remind me of perplexity engineers. Will give me nightmares. Literally every 4th WvW roamer rerolled to perp engi before they introduced the rune ICD.
It’s not PvP related so much but anyone interested in the history of thief’s might find this thread interesting:

In regards to that thread, stealth was never really a thief problem. It was specifically D/P being the one thief set that grants unlimited and easy access. Its the same with stealth gyro on scrapper in pvp: easy and low CD stealth access.
Heck there is a thread calling for a D/P nerf now in the thief forum and I completely agree with it – despite being a thief main. D/P could do with a direct nerf so that other weapon set options can be brought up to par, un-nerfing D/P in the process.

It’s worth mentioning that at that time ANet were in the throws fixing culling which occured after March 2013:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/world-vs-worldthe-end-of-culling/
People were still new and had no context so focused on stealth as being the issue, which thief could spam with said weapons.
It wasn’t really the communities fault either, for example, a thief could prevent camp caps while invisible, essentially trolling an entire zerg that couldnt kill the ‘bunker’ thief. So there were many mechanics that made people focus on stealth.
Tbh it was a fail on ANet’s behalf, it really created an anti-thief movement within the community.

Long before perplexity, confusion did twice as much damage than it does now in WvW.
