Guild Wars 2

…… thieves are kittening about us.

Well I decided to do a bit of sPvP, I haven’t in a while because I hated the state it was in (I.E 5 Mesmers and 8 Thieves in total), anyways I pop on to test out my new staff bunker build, I was doing well, surviving 2v1’s ect, but in a few games people left and it ended up being a 1v1 match between me and this thief. We brawled it out in the Graveyard, I won in the end and to quote this dear friend “lol more luck spammer”, yeah, coming from a thief of all professions. He then goes on to say that we’re a “self heal noob class” which is wrong considering my heals are AoE, obviously he goes on to insult my mother with no grammar nor punctuation but he ends it with a PM; “….no skill and heal 1 wrong button ill reap ya where ever i find ya noob than without advantages kiddy” (Then goes offline).

I’m actually confused out of my head, I mean seriously? By his logic we spam skills but from what I gathered from his PM he says that if I wrongly click on button I didn’t intend to he will “reap me” where ever he finds me. Doesn’t that mean to say we have a precise order to our skills and that one mess up can cost us our lives? But yet we spam skills, and spam usually means in no particular order, needless to say during the fights I made mistakes, I always do but I still won the 1v1 against what people class as the spamming class….

I just thought I’d share that, something else to talk about than the plethora of EA/bugs/we’re up threads – at least we can still make thieves cry, I guess that is pretty OP. xD

PS. I do have the SS’s of this convo, however I thought it’d be best to conceal his identity. :P

Dude, you can’t hide his identity. It’s obvious who it is: 12-year-old with mommy’s credit card. Don’t fret. Don’t even let it worry you. People who have “power” and then lose it go quite insane.

I loled. Squishy thieves are squishy. There are only a few good thief players I have trouble with, the rest are pretty bad. Sounds like you found 1. Heal spam, good old 40 second cd spams, totally gonna be able to heal with that. Maybe if you were just auto attacking his face in water and he was doing no damage lol.

Gooood, very good. Let your anger flow through you.

Let the thieves feel the pain they’ve wrought on elementalists. Finishing them right off is too good for them; down them and then run off to Ride the Lightning back with flames of vengeance when they are about to revive.

There are lots of players who cannot take defeat with pride and will find any reason to proclaim that their defeat was ‘cheap’.

Sad, but true.

You got trolled. I hate to say it but sometimes I like to dance on dead enemies and claim “Da cow goes moo”. Sometimes I’ll have a similar message typed out and I will release the message during the middle of my burst rotation.

Thing is, according to him, I was the one trolling.

That’s good, embrace your inner troll. If you’re lucky you’ll have a thief scream, "They’re eating her… and then they’re going to eat me… OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! "

Seriously, thieves who complain deserve no sympathy at all. They are too used to having their targets fall at their feet to backstab and heatseeker spam that a lot of thieves don’t know how to respond to a prolonged fight against an intelligent foe. More brownie points to you for beating him down with a staff- (I can’t get the feel for staff)

Oh my, I laughed out loud. xD
Well thanks, as I said I was just testing a new build out, though tried D/D too and I’m not sure which I have better results with. The only thing that offended me about him was his grammar and punctuation, makes me sad.

Non-elementalists complaining about elementalists

sounds legit -_-

(clearly people who never played elementalist have no idea how hard we need to work to be like this)

He got killed 1v1 against a staff ele….He should be embarrassed. But seriously, bad thieves like this give the whole profession a bad name. I 1v1’d a thief the other day and we had a great fight, lasted the entire match and we never scored a kill, very intense. Unfortunately these guys are few and far between the HS and BS spammers.

People complain about anything. On another note… I haven’t lost a single 1 v 1 against a thief since the patch, and I’ve fought about 50 so far in tpvp and spvp. They seem to be going in the right direction with balancing thieves, despite bs still hitting too hard. I run dagger/dagger 10/0/0/30/30 cantrip build. Only class giving me trouble right now is extremely bursty shatter mesmers who take off half my hp with one root>>shatter.

The best compliment another player can give you after you kill them is rage.

I think that reality is that most (not all) thieves are poor players. They were doing well simply because spamming a few abilities allowed them to be effective. Now that the class is being brought more into balance, their crappiness is showing.

Mhm, weeding out those that jumped on the bandwagon.
