Guild Wars 2

are you ******** serious?

What buff to mobility did thief get that wasn’t already available?

Hidden Thief: This trait now grants 50% bonus movement speed while in stealth.

Not a buff they moved it from the Acro trait line

They moved it from acro (unused traitline) to shadowarts (also relatively unused) yay now there’s a reason to play both with the buffs?

No ones runs shadow arts anymore and the moment speed in stealth already existed under a different trait.

tl;dr OP is ruhtard

It’s in Shadow art. 99.9% of thieves use DA Trcikery DD.

Please stop complaining about stuff you don’t even know about.

Guys, the Thief nerfs are moments away. This much whining will guarantee hot nerfs. Inb4 Sword too clunky to auto with again.

well i hope it get nerfed,bcs its soooo bad,you cant put on invis char best mobility + spd.
its just bad desing,im sure they will get that and nerf thief back to where he was.

It’s so bad that no one is using it. Why nerf a bad option?

My guess they are going to nerf thief by buffing every other professions damage.

Because omg the theoretics. People like op want a profession such as Thief to have NO options. We have no sustainable boons/conditions outside of regeneration and vulnerability, both via specific traits or weapons. We have no spammable defense outside of evades and a 15s block (+.5s cast time, so 15.5s) cd. Oh, and now our weapons are usable, manageable, and threatening. Its day one. Nerf it. I refuse to learn past day one, anything I see in this first (not even 6 hours, holy kitten) day needs to be nerfed.

This trait does not get used and it has been in the game for a long time , has it caused any issues?? You are only complaining now because you view it as a buff to Thief yet it’s has been in the game in an unused trait line and now being moved to another unused trait line, that won’t see any use still, this is another call for nerfs on Thief just because.

Patch is 5:41 (hours:minutes) old roughly. I love it.

i like that buff…. but i am probably only thief out of 100 or so using sa atm :|

problem with pvp is with spd atm,you cant have one slow moving char and other with 5 blinks and max spd + invs
its just that.

Common thing with Thief. People immediately cry nerf at something about it even though they have no idea how it works, have no interest in trying to figure anything out and often have no idea if it was even ever used against them in the first place. It’s like when I killed someone with my Sword long ago and got spammed with complaints about my Heartseeker being too OP.

each class has strengths and weaknesses, Thief is the master of mobility, and supposedly stealth in this game designed to do massive burst damage, but they get shredded like wet paperbags due to all the AoE/cleave in game. Other classes rely on passive defenses while Thief relies on pure active defense. Hardly any boon access.

they have too much mobility,you must ballance thiefs,so they can move IN to the fight or OUT the fight,never both at once and never in 5 sec.

okay. Will trade our mobility for MORE damage, MORE BOONS, and MORE conditions. If I can’t choose how I KITE a fight, I better kitten well be able to sustain a fight.

could u please whine about AA instead?
Really, this modify counts nothing.

it’s more than what a lot of other classes are getting, so it’s a buff. Stop trying to downplay this, you know nerf is incoming.

No it got nerfed because acro is missing its best trait that gives 50% movement speed in stealth.

How is it a buff if Thieves had it in another trait? They just moved it to SA instead of Acro. Hmmm interesting

It’s a nerf because we can’t have 50% faster movement in stealth with the vigor on dodge unless we take both acro and shadow arts.

ROFL,you wana more dmg? are you MAD?
