Guild Wars 2

Just to let you guys know, you would want backstab thieves more than anything. They are very easy to counter, and die soo quick.

^_^ perma dazethiefbaby! lolz s/d ftw(we need a better dual skill though than that pos skill).

Doesn’t matter we backstab thieves just got nerfed pretty badly.

Lol. They went the right way about doing it. Thieves are perfectly balanced now. Maybe you guys will start using it on your chain of skills (CND —> Steal --> backstab —> 2 more attacks with 15%)

I don’t see how it’s that big of a nerf.

If anything I’m more disappointed in the removal of evade in whirling axe.

the patch?

To be honest im more than happy that they didnt nerf the backstab skill itself. This doesnt change anything though, probackstab thieves will always be probackstab thieves. Im just hoping the qq posts in thief forums die down a little bit (doubt it).

I’m thinking once the rendering issues get fixed, thats when the qq will die down a lot.

So now I get to show off for a little bit longer while I continue to dance around my opponents and hit them with Backstab after my initial burst? Works for me, this is why I took Feline’s Grace to begin with. Plus the better synergy with PW and Clusterbomb.

Duckzor might be right, I might be more saddened by the removal of the evade from the stolen Whirling Axe skill.

Seriously, what’s with the complaints? This isn’t so much a nerf as a very good balance tweak. The Signet is now viable with multiple builds instead of just one, and opened up more options for Unload and other combos.

Excellent tweak Anet, very glad that you didn’t listen to the QQ and just nerf BS. My faith in your balancing abilities has been restored.
