Guild Wars 2

All I see is a raging thief that has no clue how to even approach a guard, let alone a DH. Bounced himself MULTIPLE times off the ring of warding, while he was outside of it. Used withdraw, while in stealth, while at 75% health or higher. No attempt at trying to use SB to help pick away at the DH’s health. Leaped AT the guard right when his shield blew up…

let alone this being a 1v1, which would favor the guard even if he wasn’t DH, as guard has always been a counter to thief…

You need to realize as a thief vs any guard its going to be an uphill battle just as it is for the guardian vs an ele, engineer, necro or rev.

The fact that the thief didn’t seem to have any idea how to utilize stealth or how to avoid traps didnt help either

what exactly is the point of the vid?

thieves have always been more or less hard countered by guardians, even more so DHs that spec into traps.

is the point that guardians should be nerfed to the ground to the point where it counters nothing no matter what spec is being ran?

I’m just pointing this out since you decided to put it in capitals. That was the Spear of Justice pulling him into Ring of Warding the second time. The first time was a 5/2 for stealth and was just short of pulling it off. Then the guard snared and pulled him back into it.

I’m hoping DH get’s knocked down a couple of pegs in today’s balance patch. It really needs it.

And I hope it makes it more valuable for Raids.

You are correct, I did miss that on the second one, that was my bad. However, I know what the first one was, and that is still bad play, even when doing that combo for stealth, why would you leave the guard targeted knowing that he is standing inside the ring?

yea all those DH traps just stomping everyone in pro league really needs to be taken down a peg or five.

Blame the game, not the player

no I think i’ll stick to blaming the extremely bad thief, blind button mashing would have made you survive longer than the type of play in that vid you showed.
