Guild Wars 2

Hello guys, I’m Faeleth, and I’m glad to present my new video, representing my D/P gameplay.

https://youtu.be/5amF0g6--x4
This video shows top-tier EU matchmaking matches.

Video has 4 chapters:
1. Thief encounters: 0:13-6:44
2. +1 Section 6:45-14:54
3. Carrying stuff: 14:55-20:35
4. 1vs1 part: 20:37-till end.
Hope you enjoy!

During vid i’m using two builds:

Classic DA/SA/Tr with rage sigil/scholar rune (http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-g3RV;1Vw-_07-R-Fd0;9;4IKM;0158247237;4IBm3U;1G;5a0C)

CS/SA/Tr (http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-g3RV;1Vw-_07-R-Fd0;9;4JKM;0246247137;4IBm3U;1G;5a0E)

Both builds are viable in top-tier matches, have their own playstyle.
Any questions or feedback will be appreciated, Except the fact I’m not that good at montage

Wasn’t aware that autobalance notifications appeared in ranked PvP… (at 1:30)

Didn’t you get the forum memo? Thief is dead in PvP.

So which is it?

Thieves say dead.

Non-thieves say OP.

:/

Im seriously going to play this game again just because of this video. I love the thief and I do think they are a bit UP atm, but your video gave me hope again. WOuld you make a tips are tricks guide. Just watching your vid I’ve gathered a few tricks but I’d like to see more if i missed any.

Good video, nice seeing some high mmr content

It’s sad how this trumps like 90% of all those wvw/pvp baddie farming videos yet it gets so few views

Well, yeah, there are 2 moments from HJ plays, First on 1:28 and second on 16:13.
And while first get there occasionally, I noticed it only after rendering, the second one get there cause of fancy 1v2.

You have good attention
The rest of it is ranked Q.

It is high tier play indeed! Nice to see. Its a fun build too, but i am not quite sure if the usual build is stronger in premade teams (talking about critical strike build). A fun moment is when you wreck red levin and he is like, what the kitten happend. I guess he didnt expect that burst comming from dp^^
After watching this vid and having had fights against some of your opponents I truely dont want to meet you.

I was planning to make T&T guide from this vid, but seems like my next video will be guide for thieves:)

This video is outdated with HoT. Thief will be far weaker then. I don’t think you should play this game again based on this video.

make a video fighting good chronos or the other new elites… you can get 1 shot by the warrior.. chronos perma block.. xD

I’d rather make the vid you suggested only after HoT release, cuz things can shake up and down during this betas. But I’ll definately do so after expansion hits.

Hats off to you sir…amazing play, nice disengages, amazing timing and some of those evades (remembering one vs Guardian GS 5 skill ) were breathtaking…

Especially enjoyed when you timed the mist form of rune of vampirism proc and gave the final blow without missing a millisecond.

You sir are an artist, please keep making more videos and if you can persuade others (top tier players) to give us videos of this caliber for other professions we would be forever grateful.

Great play dude!

And for all the ppl that think thief is OP, they fail to understand how close many of these fights were .

One mistake and it would have been a loss !

I most likely wont buy HoT because it wont be worth the 50 bucks and I know thiefs will end up being weaker. The reason I left this game in the first place was because I hate how Arena Net just doesn’t care about the PVP balance. Their balancing system was flawed from the start and they’ve really just made half-kitten attempts at fixing it. Only to make it worse later on. If they wanted to balance this game they need to provide constant updates.

The money needed for these updates can come from a optional subscription fee. Giving subs boosts and some cosmetics. I want this game to be the best because it’s potential is staggering, but the things that need to be done aren’t happening and they have giving us zero reason to believe things will get better. Maybe I shouldnt come back to this game….

highlight reels are fun and all but what about the other fights?

What do you mean saying other fights? ESLs? Duels? WvW?

In otherwords a montage vs a full match vid.

Montage shows highlights, and success. A full match vids shows every encounter from start to finish.

Well yeah, I got the idea, but this would be just another kind of video.
On boring words, I’m pretty successful thief, in 80% of games I end up with top team score aswell as lost of “top kills”, “skirmishes”, “points neutralize” and so on.
Some day I may end up doing this sort of video called “Tips&tricks” with full match coverage, but this one is definetaly not I was aiming at.
