Guild Wars 2

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Powder

An attack that has no cooldown, that blinds the target on attack and every second to any target within the area of its effect.

its pretty much Iwin vs any melee class, and can be just as powerful on ranged players if used well.

it has quite a low initiate cost, but can be spammed all the time while using the fotm d/p build.

that in of it self is more powerful than most other classes defence skills but still skill does even more, its a combo field that anyone with a leap can spam to stack stealth, its just totally over the top.

I don’t suggest changing it, it simply needs to cost more, atm its being used like an auto attack, the skill needs to cost a lot more, the skill needs to be a costly strategic skill, not some monkey stomping trolling skill of power

Oh look. Its direwind’s “nerf stealth” post again…

Ahhh but this isn’t nerf stealth, its nerf blackpowder.

It has low initiative? What? It is being used as an auto attack? WTKitten?

Direwind, you are trying too hard.

and anyone who has every played any number of mmo and witnessed this skill and doesn’t think it overpowered has been drinking too much absynth

Point to the place on the doll where the thief touched you.

It costs 6 initiative which is half of someones total initiative. if they trait for an extra 3 initiative they can use it more but are sacrificing power/defensive trait stats. It takes about 7 seconds to normally regen 6 ini. The combo field lasts 4. If this is THE ONLY skill they are using then out of a period of 14 seconds they will have 8 seconds of the skill being active and that is ONLY if you chose to fight in it.

Don’t try to talk sense to him, this is Direwind’s daily “nerf thief” thread.

He could at least wait until the others get locked first. :I

OP, roll a Thief.

I realize getting kittenganked and getting outplayed by a certain class suxxxor and it’s in your given right as a consumer to kittenrage quit and post here soon after. That said, just roll a thief as it will give you a better perspective of a certain classes strengths and weakness.

its ok, just give every other class the ability to aoe blind many people at once whenever they feel like and another skill to leap stealth into the target trying to get out the aoe so they can plant another on the floor at the targets feets.

then we can rise repeat that all day until they die

I have a thief, doesn’t mean I like playing it though. and there are some things you cant counter.

thief insane damage + nonstop stealth regen and chain blinding being one.

Warrior has insane damage, nonstop cleanse and chain CC. Does that mean I kitten about them?

Name of Thief and server? Based on your post, no you don’t have a 80 thief

I’ve never lost to a thief… in a 1v1, even 2v1, ever… if anyone wants to take me up on this, feel free to.

Why would you kitten? Thief can’t lose against warrior so it’s kind of pointless.

Exactly.

L2identify the problem source. The issue isn’t with the skills here, they’re perfectly fine (you know, that blind field, it’s only melee range, just, y’know, use ranged attacks for a bit?); the issue is with the trait that gives 2 init back on each application of stealth. If you want to point to anything being broken, that’s your best bet. Just saying.

… And before anyone says anything about me hating on thieves – I play one, I do my best to not abuse stealth. Just pointing people who want to rage about thieves to the most likely culprit of their raging.

OMG dire this is started to get old, you make a new QQ thief thread everyday
