Guild Wars 2

Ok long story short thief vs my reaper = dead reaper unless the thief is really noob. Run into P/P one, ate 15k unload in a flash. Needless to say how it ended. My defenses since that time have gone up, but that still doesn’t solve the major issue – they can burst me from afar and i can’t.

So any suggestions how to handle those guys?

Do you know what other skills they had. I can’t imagine the entire fight revolving around Unload.

1. Stop playing zerk reaper. CC is your friend.
2. learn to play necro. Get some HP and some toughness.
3. repeat steps 1 and 2 until you know what you’re doing.

Seriously, you have two entire HP bars to play with, whereas the thief you just faced is playing ultra zerk low hp build.

When I used to main necro, I practically ignored thiefs, as the chances of one downing me unless I was actually afk was zero.

go in deathshroud hit him 2 times with life blast

Reaper here. Don’t have ranged life blast.

Your kidding right? Reaper shroud 2 is a dash to target that destroys projectiles.

You could also use grab and bring him to you.

This is probably in the wrong forum. P/P has always been cheesy. Chillblains → Reaper 2 → dead

If all else fails…

Dodge twice.

Then proceed to win. (Preferably dodge towards him so you can close the gap… which is 900-1000 at most)

Well the RS#2 is something i did forget. Also the chillblains etc – back then it was pure power build, gs/d+d, so condi warfare was out of the question. When i go condi, yeah, thieves are no longer so big. In future matches (when i’m power) i’ll consider the advices here and main hand axe. Least the #2 will give them a run for their money..

I laughed…seriously, of all the broken PvP classes, thief. Haha..ha..i’m gonna go cry now

Did you try breathing on him? Perhaps try some colorful language or a stern look, usually kills thieves these days.

Retaliation is fun as well.
