Guild Wars 2

Well, been playing power necro in pvp since launch +-
Necro can kill thief, its all about the build you use and the utilties you bring with you to the fight.

for me, if im on point, it is either stalemate(when thief is being cautious) or the thief dies(when he is aggressive). I play basic wellmancer in pvp. thing is, when the thief play cautiously, he will eventually win the fight in regular 1v1, but since we on point and when thief spending too much time fighting me on point when i have it, he is useless to his team so he may kill me in the end, but I won the battle.

In wvw, it is different story entirely, and there thief can demolish you since he got huge space to maneuver and no reason to get at you closely.

If you play build that is about dmg with no sustain and slow lf regen, dont expect to win fights vs thief. Learn how to use the right build for every encounter.

Still struggling vs thief with the new “balance” changes that don’t “balance” anything.

You don’t kill any other class that same skilled as you. As some classes are almost able to 1 shot you while also can cc and interrupt spam you and you frekin vulnerable to it. while others you can’t kill because their healing/health regen and damage avoiding and mobility is way too high. So id say without support it feels crap as you are not great 1v1er on conquest which means your survivability mobility and damage sucks compared to other classes your damage sucks even more if whole enemy team focus you.

If you check necro videos on youtube all showing how they beat lower skilled/terrible players of other classes. It just doesn’t show the reality when they meet someone of xy class with half brain.
