Guild Wars 2

So I play my own home style Thief build, very effective and allows me to carry up to 2 bad players on my team (no I’m not kidding, I’ve carried with a tri pug). Unfortunately, thats not ok anymore because “what kind of scrub thief doesn’t have shadow refuge” =(

May I cry now guys?

I don’t think the small theif builds that work in the meta actually use shadow refuge so whoever said that is an idiot

With all the mass reveals and how rezzes/stomps are in this meta, shadow refuge is not usually taken anymore. Any revenant or scrapper with sneak gyro would ruin your day.

SR was honestly pretty bad to begin with for sPvP. It just offered some downed state safety to prevent stomps, but DPS’ing the invsible corpse isn’t prevented this way. Otherwise it largely acts as a “Here I am come AOE me” indicator for the enemy team.

I always use other utilities for PvP/WvW because someone who knows how to deal with SR/stealth should be able to kill the thief and whatever he’s trying to hide without issues.

The best use of SR when playing against skilled players is using it while already stealthed away from you such that it forces enemies to be baited into blowing AOE’s/cooldowns within it in an attempt to kill you, and then just waltzing up and killing them when they have no further access to damage.

Just turn off chat. I turn mine off so i don’t have to read QQ from people like “we got thief games lost”, “hey thief reroll plz” etc.

Many people block people that can’t communicate. I do when I lost or win if the guy can’t follow simple strat made over Team chat.

You better block the annoying guy than block us all… you are loosing opportunities to play with decent players.
