Guild Wars 2

give us your thoughts? in sPvP/tPvP everyone play as a bunker or hybrid but still tough to kill… so let thief be the boon/bunker destroyers since we don’t have traits for bunker build. if arena net gonna nerf Larcenous Strike. just delete this class and just be a standing combat dummy in Lions Arch

Haha shadowstep stomp, fun

I only managed to watch 4 minutes 45 seconds of that 9+ minute video.

In that 4 minutes 45 seconds all I saw was auto-attack and Larcenous Strike spam. Literally, that was all you did, wasn’t it? 111111-333333-111111-333333…

Amazing, bro.

You’re sh*ttin’ yourself at the thought of ArenaNet nerfing your over-powered, cheesy, spammable, unblockable, evasive, boon-stealing, carry-me-to-victory chain-skill, aren’t you?

I’m sure using Dancing Dagger, Cloak, and Infiltrators work extremely well as dps ini sinks.
Just no one has figured it out yet…
Guys, we’re all playing S/D wrong…

didn’t you know ? just ignore revelead and spam C&D to own everyone. I heard Dancing dagger spam is also imba as kitten.
OH dagger OP, PLZ ANET NERF.

ah, let’s not forget CRAZY OP TACTICAL STRIKE.

I don’t see why people complain about thief spamming. That is the point of their mechanic! Spam the skill that is best in the situation the thief is in. Nothing wrong with that.

Besides, Larcenous Strike is only really good because everyone runs boon heavy builds and they don’t know how to change builds

Mad that the thief just stole 20 stacks of might from hgh engi? Yell for nerf on forums rather than trying to change your build.

Haha! I don’t think Thieves need lessons from Warriors on how to kill!

Look, that post I made is just jealousy – I wish I could spam 2 attacks on my Warrior and win so easily.

Sadly, I’m forced to actually use all my skills and abilities if I want to do well.

And here we are wishing we had more than 2 viable attacks…

I can certainly agree Dancing Dagger is pretty crappy, not on C&D though. I can agree spamming FS on heavy initiative regen builds feels a little too rewarding, but as already said, it’s the only way to apply pressure besides spaming 1 all day.
I think in this case, if you take from some place, you have to give somewhere else.

Pffffft.

As it turns out, Sword mainhand is useless. Dagger OH is all you really need!

here again: give thief DR on spamming buttons

3x same button = 25% lower dmg
4th = 50% lower dmg
5th = 75%
6th = thief will be deletet

thx

Hey maybe your ingame skills are good but stopped watching after first minut.
For next video I think you need:
- better editing.
- better resolution
- you vs 1 or more opponents (3 or 4 of you zerging arround in hot join is not that interesting).
- Game sound is to loud and music to low.

Of course it’s only my opinion but normally people say they like my videos.

well I like the vid. gg. you tore it up

The solution of all these thieves spamming FS: increase FS initiative cost. Simple and easy. How is it possible that a skill that steals 2 boons is on 4 initative when average boon wiping skills are on 40s cooldown?
I mean, 4 initiative needs 5 seconds to be gained again only from regen…

Yeah, i think fs + ls cost too little for evade + 2 boon steal (unblockable) + good damage.

Or anet changes iniziative cost (maybe 2 or 3 for ls) or get only 1 buff stolen on ls.

i m not sure if owning hj noobs that dont even know how a s/d thief works needs to be recorded.
And yes , the init management with this build is ridiculous….Its just about to spam 2 keys and sometimes healing + disengage with shadownstep/skill 2 when its getting dangerous.

this build is really kitten in my opinion.

whats the purpose of the vid ?
Hotjoin against terribad enemys, most of them where engaged in fights with other people .

If you really think, that

a) S/D thiefs are OP or
b) you think you are skilled as a thief player

then you should post some duel vids agains good players of other classes, and you will soon see in which state a thief is right now.

They really should split the sPvP forum into a place for hotjoin heros who think they are good players and a place for people who actually play tPvP and who have a bit more understanding of the game …

The tone of the conversation really needs to shift to when/if something is not fun or frustrating to play against, regardless of whether or not it is OP, when does A-net step in to change it.

Having your main source of damage, an evade, and boon steal tied to the same ability is questionable imo; however I don’t think that is the larger issue. The area that I feel is too rewarding for the thief and not fun/frustrating to play against is inf-strike/shadow return. Trying to line up coordinated burst or even setting up your own burst is near impossible. The tragedy of the situation is one of the persistent problems when facing thieves. The only response you have is to have enough aoe to “accidentally” down them, which is an even larger problem the thief profession is facing. There needs to be some sort of balance associated with giving thieves enough abilities to allow them to play their role and not so frustrating to play against.

You don’t have to watch the video, he just spams #3 all day to crappy music.
