Guild Wars 2

1v1 Duel with a SoS thief when shenanigans happens

Dont take this wrong. But after a boring duel, because both are way too defensive (good for soloroaming and killing 1vsX pugs), two of the four classes with the most overpowered 1v1 builds kill two hammer/staffguardians. What also takes them forever (see above).

So: I dont get your point.

The thief doesnt do much but cleanse his conditions and fail to sneak attack you and you just keep evading, hoping for your pet to land one proper burst. I mean you did not even use your signets.

Strange place to duel

I love situational irony. Those two probably thought you were both easy targets. The next thing they know, your working together and they are taking a dirt nap.

Ehh, Do you have any idea how Signets on a Ranger actually work?

To be honest, that duel needed to be interrupted, almost 10 mins of 0 damage and 100% regen.

I recommend dueling north of Speldan camp, i almost never get interrupted there when i’m 1v1ing the deers.

Yea I was roaming when I came across the thief, that’s where he wanted to duel actually.

But yea, Heavily Regen Ranger + Heavy Regen Pistol Thief = Stagnant fight.

Even with PI int he build it would of been an exercise of frustration because If I manage to get him low he can easily stealth and kitten near heal to full (I know he can do this because I can do this on my Thief).

Since I have a Pet as a Ranger, Unlike most classes I can’t just starve him of Init by dodging at the right moment so he waste’s C/D, He’ll simply hit my pet every time.

The only reasonable way I’d have to actually kill a Thief like this would be if I actually ran a bow, which I don’t. Its just one of those classes that i’d have trouble actually killing but won’t be able to kill me.

In reality, Most non glass cannon thieves only die anyway in 1v1’s cause they get over confident.
