Guild Wars 2

So, I know that there’s logic in the matchmaking system that tries not to stack too many of the same profession in the same team, but could we get something that emphasizes this for certain professions? I mean, 2 thieves is much worse than 2 revenants and this is something that stays true across all metas. The same could really be said for mesmers (except for the current bunker builds that are going away 1/26) since they’re also glassy roamers.

Anyone else on board with this?

As long as devs think thieves are extremely strong (taken from dev stream few months ago… cringe) it won’t happen….

Inb4 everyone queues as thief or mesmer with intent to re-roll, so they don’t get a thief or mesmer on their team.

Awww man! I thought this thread was going to be about strategy for an all thief team…

Thing is, a team with multiple thieves is bad regardless of how overpowered or underpowered they are.

Agree, but sometimes just happens…

…and after 26 you will see more thieves, now they are going to be buffed.

They can’t implement the change – it would be admitting a mistake.

It’s sad to say that even as a Thief Main, when other thieves tell Thief players to run a different class in a match it’s bad, but every once in a while you get teams that can do well with 2 thieves if they both no what they are doing. But 90% of the time it’s a liability, granted you should never need more than 1 Thief on a team but it shouldn’t be to the point where it almost guarantees a loss. If only the Devs would allow for no class stacking due to the nature of the balance currently but we will never see that because of Qeue times.

A good thief is very useful, but 2 thieves in the same team is a problem. It is hard to hold the points and deal with enemy aoe.

Give thieves own water field on short CD – bruiser thief that can hold points was born.

Steal from Rangers with Improvisation, and you’re set. Your water field will even cleanse five conditions over five seconds.

They actually had to add a cooldown to that Steal bundle because they felt it was too strong!

I actually found that I had good success with double druid teams. Just have one druid on home and one on far. They bunk well and have good decap abilities to keep the point in your favor.

After the balance patch however…we’ll see. It’s possible that this could become even stronger with things like the Mender’s Amulet.

Dear diary, per usual i logged in to do daily for backpack, per usual people asked us to reroll to something that is not thief, per usual we won and people thanked us

Having two skilled thieves can be a great asset if not going against premises.
