Thieves
it’s not fun to hit a guardian or warrior when you deal ZERO dmg to them
warriors Endure Pain gives 3 secs invulnerability on a 90 secs cooldown. you really want to compare this to thieves stealth? now I’ve heart everything… ROFLMAO
I play a thief but a bit differently from the common “peek-a-boo” thief. I don’t use Shadow Refuge but rather just make my way into the enemy in plain site and attempt a Cloak and Dagger. Some players just stand there and take it from behind without evasion. Others actually evade. So, I will say some people actually deserve to be poked from behind while others provide a challenge. I don’t use Shadow Refuge for escape either. My preferred method of escape is Shadow Step and heal stealth. I don’t always work out but meh – I don’t really care.
My two most common challengers have been “peek-a-boo” back stab thieves with Shadow Refuge and D/D elementalists (great mobility build).
I agree that the rendering issue needs to be looked at.

Conversely, thieves get 0 seconds of invulnerability from stealth, regardless of cooldown. They aren’t really the same kind of ability, but they’re both useful.
There are counters to everything.
My thief cant counter all classes abilities at the same time either.
Some classes are no fun to fight as a thief either.
Be careful when asking (or hinting) for the nerf stick to be used, your class may be caught in the AoE.
Dont like having to fight a stealthing theif – when a thief stealths and runs off to regen out of combat, use a waypoint and move on to another “fun” locale – that’s what they do.
Please dont ask for someones (the thief) enjoyment to be broken just because you dont have “fun” with the challenge of fighting one.
WvW is large scale fighting, not 1v1.
There are lots of abilities that interfere with the mobility of a stealthing thief, it is not fun to be caught by them when trying to make a stealthed escape. Should we remove them for the same reason – it breaks my fun – NO! I think not.
You are a typical player who plays a typical thief who doesn’t know the potential of your own class. I have no problem with 90% of the thieves out there thank god they are bad like you. But the few who does know the class and ‘abuse’ stealth is just dumb. But you would have a clue what I’m talking about anyway.
So, using stealth is ok, but abusing stealth is not? Or is it, having stealth and using it is an abuse in its self? Is this like the right to have an opinion is ok, but voicing it is an abuse?
I usually dont read threads like this one but the title didnt give much of a clue to the subject. I find people who make requests like this one, based on the fact that they dont have “fun” in a certain aspect, to be annoying in that their opinion (because they had it, and it’s their right) should be posted for the world to see – and acted upon.
This is just my opinion of cause, in response another.
