Okei DmG is insane but this is overall a problem.

But this class have some problems now

- Lower HP/Thougness (after Patch)
- Bad Condi Cleanse
- Sustain

Anet a one way ticket playstyl really hurts. Before patch i was playing some Hyprid styl but this doesn’t work anymore. It isn’t fun to play a “kill the enemy fast or you get one shotted playstyl.” As thief you are also now kittened up more in bigger battles in WvWvW. This insane DMG + Condi kills us in 1-4 secs when u dont have dodge or ports on CD.

well SE got nerfed, pretty hard actually. I am not sure why considering they buffed condis over the top. But then again what a surprise, given how Anet LOOOOOOOOVESS to throw nerfs at the class.

HP is actually same, zerker amulet got changed. You have to run marauder amy now unless you wanna get 1 shot by 13k shatters, few stacks of burning etc. That obviously gives classes with higher HP upper hand as they can still use new zerker amy which allows them to do way more dmg.

Thieves never really had actual sustain, sd may have been sustain build, but the class design is just hit and run.

What really surprises me is how withdraw didn’t get promised (in patch notes) heal buff but just flatout CD nerf. There are still a lot of bugs added with this patch which obviously have impact on class performance (not to mention the minor traits bugs which disables them unless you go to pve and port back to pvp, i mean honestly wth).

Thieves have low HP and no defense besides avoiding dmg completely, given how high dmg is atm, taking 1 hit means a los most of the time.

I think if burning and some dps traits from all classes get toned down, thieves will be ok.

Welcome to Guildfield 4, take Sniper and camp on the roof! oh i forgott your range is only 900….xD

Yeah the Nervs was a little bit to much. Seen today many many thieves one shotted or killed by condis.

In bigger battles they are focused and die in 2 secs. I think this isn’t fun for thieves players.

Same here. Sometimes you don’t even have time to react……you are instant death or in downstate. I wasn’t running full zerker….

It is not just thieves.

When the game first came out, there used to be backstab builds where you would pop a signet every 45 signets for a guaranteed instagib. You were of course insanely squishy and would die very quickly if focused, but still if you initiated first you would most likely get your kill every 45 seconds. This was perceived as a huge problem and the signet as well as the trait line that was used were finally nerfed to oblivion.

Basically, right now builds of this sort are possible on any profession (and some of them are not even that squishy). THEREIN lies the problem.

thats not the problem im face rolling my whole keyboard for that matter, fact that they nerfed my endurance recharge by kitten VIGOR turns out that they completely kitten d my play style i never used hide much…

was pure on dodge had almost perma 140% endurance recharge up but now i feel like a fat guardian in WvW while my “guardian” is not lvl 80 but more likely lvl 30..
got 1 shotted by mesmer who i didnt even see ever all i saw was a trail of clones popping up after i got one shotted..
now i dont really give a kitten to get one shotted but that they basically hit most thiefs with nerf stick where it hurts is pretty lame..

dunno how u play your thief but im all ears if u can tell me how to play thief with no hide only hide i have is the 3 seconds hide from cloak in shadows skill.. which i dont really use but w/e

all i want is vigor back to 100% i dont give a kitten if they nerf my damage i just want my only deffence back which was dodge.
in 1v1 not much has changed for me but i dont do arenas or w/e only thing i do is WvW good luck finding them 1v1 there so ye im pretty much screwed..

good thing is i dont play GW2 everyday maybe 2/3 times a week sometimes i dont play for few weeks. so i dont really give a rats kitten to not login anymore

but like i said

VIGOR VIGOR VIGOR all iwant is my vigor recharge rate back to 100% and not 50% like we have now
