Guild Wars 2

thief is overpowered, they have too much stealth (in certain builds) but in EVERY build the combo of going stealth and then using the finish move has NO COUNTER PLAY

in addition pistol thieves have too much blind,

no counterplay except just interupting the finisher lol?

the first part i won’t even comment, but for this:
I’f you mean for stomps, then use this tactic: attack 2 times (first attack clears the first blind tick, second attack clears the one that comes right after) and then use your interrupt skill.
The blind field was changed recently so it applys the blinds less often than before and you can land your interrupt.
If you mean for combat, then just don’t stay in it – it’s really small and most
(auto-) attacks hit a thief hiding in it if you stand right at the side.

Problem with thief is that, maybe on paper its dmg, armor ect looks fair, but when you fight against one of them, when you dont see it most time, and at the same time hes taking most of you HP, it doesnt look al right. Thats engineer’s without turrets perspective.
So yes, agreed with OP on nerf

A mongrel dog who tuck his tail between his legs and runs away from a fight should not bark. Thief is not the hardest profession in the game plz. So much stealth you get away with so much bullkitten. And you’re the hater and one of my victims. Now get good noob bye.

^ Don’t feed -10/10 just complaints as always.

I’m not sure what a thief is supposed to be in the OP’s mind? " Too much stealth", isn’t that being a thief’s thing…stealth defines us. We act from the shadows and swallow you when you expect it the least. That’s what a thief is all about. Now are you asking Anet to make of us plain hard hitting warriors that would be always in your face so you can see them better? That we are not and the way thief is being played at the moment is how it should be. Just watch your back, don’t falter and you’ll survive.
And to the guy talking about thieves needing no skills, mesmer is a remote control class, nothing more, I find it funny when people say it needs skills. It’s fun to play, I have one but I still prefer thief, because it stands apart if you play it well. What a thief will do is it will expose your play flaws, that’s why people hate this class so much. If you loose to a thief in seconds, you have l2p issues, if you loose to a thief after 5 mins of intense dueling then you are good. Simple as that.
They nerfed black powder, meaning we are liable to take more damage when in it, the chances of blinding have been reduced. I now get interrupted, knocked off and feared from it.
What I find curious is why nobody complains about the ele going mist form and stomping someone with no problems or a guardian using, aegis/shields/fields/buffs to stomp with no problems. Why is Anet constantly nerfing thief and letting other classes with certain aberrations off the hook is what disconcerts me the most.

Leave thieves alone. This class has received the worst nerfs from the september patch and those at the top of the meta was not even touched. Thieves already had problems dealing with bunker builds before the patch. What more do you want?
