Guild Wars 2

Just so you are 100% aware. Pistol whip is currently the most broken thing that the game has seen in a long time. Even warriors have nothing this OP.

I just want to make sure that you realise this fact. Please community managers like Allie, please make sure the balance/spvp devs are aware of this FACT.

Thanks.

one of many riddicolous speccs… but definitely on the top

Oh crap I spoiled it

ok but . . . . . . . . . .

Pistol whip before the unintentional nerf to stuns could be considered over powered, as you could get all of the hits off unless your opponent had multiple stun breakers/stability.

But no it’s just pretty annoying now. The ability to spam any skill is annoying but thiefs can do it. And anyways thiefs are getting pretty close to Ranger status in terms of being non-viable in every aspect. So until different aspects of Thief are buffed I wouldn’t advise any more nerfs.

We should bump up all threads till anet confirm they know this is a huge issue

i actually do somewhat agree with u. thief does need buffs in other aspects. atm the spam chains are the main part of thieves, get in there, stun target, spamm 111,222,111 get out, rinse repeat until target runs out of health, blocks and stun breakers. cc does need some sort of cooldown, so a target that just got pulled, cannot be chain interrupted, chain stunned, perma immobilized or chain knocked down. i somethimes get pulled into a zerg in wvw and my skills are on perma cd due to interrupts and stuns.
its not a thief issue only its a cc issue. thieves can be countered, but if u are unlucky and get focused by 2 pistolwhip thieves, its gg.
sure certain things need a tone down, but u cant do that without buffing other skills/traits. otherwise u will really have another ranger disaster.

I agree with this entire thread, this one time in WvW, I went to go make dinner and when I came back 10 minutes later, I check the combat log and see I took over 30000 damage from Pistol Whip WTF!!!!

It’s strong and incredibly easy to play but compared to the warrior, it doesn’t even come close to being as overpowered as they are.

You ppl should see 10k dmg (not 9xxx but 10xxx) from 1 larcenous strike in Heath of the mists PvP….. And he didnt even have single sigil stack or might stack.
