Guild Wars 2

So recently all tournaments included rule that prevents all classes from using vamp runes. Given that they are bugged atm, i agree with the rule. Now i did 2 tourney now on thief w/o the rune. To keep it short: thief in current meta is unplayable w/o safe net from vamp rune due to low survival, lack of dmg mitigation, high dmg from other classes etc.

Here is dilema: do thieves need buff in surival? Do other classes need dmg nerf? I do think something needs to change. The question is what.

Discuss.

Yes. Yes they do.

When mesmer can 100-0 unavoidable from stealth in a second (not just vs thieves), than yea, nurf nurf.

thieves still have a few important roles, surviving isnt one of them

Another thing thieves and necros have in common is their powerful rezzing.

Thieves have one of the best and most reliable rezzing abilities yet they struggle with their own survivability which is sad.

Necros are even better. They rally downed opponents, sometimes even an entire team!!!

How can you beat that!!!

It’s just rezzing map awareness and reflexes allows you to cleave the thief down. I honestly doesn’t get why some believe it’s strong it’s just in minor so might as well try rezzing. The worse is when I see thieves +1 in an already 2v1 then swap to SB and AA.
