Guild Wars 2

so i’ve noticed that since alot of DH have realized people just evade through traps harmlessly, they have been dealing with this by exploiting points on the map where you cannot evade.

alot of them will stand on the edge of ledges in spirit rise, the boxes in the corner of clocktower, or any map really, right on the edge of the ledge and drop their traps right on top of themselves, if you try to evade past them you’ll fall off and they will still be able to longbow/true shot you from above

just another cheese tactic for perhaps the cheesiest build ever

Sounds like smart positioning to me. Why don’t you knock them back off the ledge.

because i’m a thief and don’t have knockbacks for days like you guys do

Sounds to me like it’s time to think of how to solve PVP problems as a team.

I don’t play guard. But you could probably do something like steal→ dodge roll away from ledge to trigger traps to mess with them. Thieves usually have a hard time with guards anyway, but you could at least mess with their setup if you want.

I also like to blame anything I dont like as “cheese”

IIRC, you have a pull as a thief as well so … use your toolset?

And wouldn’t you call running up to someone invisibly, disabling them and stabbing them in the back to death then running off invisibly the greater of the two cheeses?

Cheese is pretty tasty, especially with a bit of salt.

What I do is stagger the traps by using the stunbreak and heal trap to bait the first dodges then put the real meat and potatoes after.

Also Line of Warding right as they’re about to spring traps is funny too lol.

Personally, running invisible and backstabbing someone for half their HP before they are even aware someone is present is the largest cheese chunk of the two.

exactly…..im fighting 1v1 against someone on point and out of nowhere I’m stunned and dead because of cheese build stealth thief came up behind me and killed me. Where is the counter play to that?

Traps, apparently.
