Anet, Do you Copy?
My biggest fear is that they’re going to completely ignore all the furor and outcry from them completely destroying, for example, pistol thieves, and just saying “well we know people are going to complain after this patch so let’s just ignore the forums for a month” and then pat themselves on the back for a job well done. But a month is a long time to wait for a response when you have no reason to log into the game anymore now that Anet has removed your build for not being “pure” enough…
Well they completely destroyed build diversity for several other classes as well, Thieves only got D/P crap left to play once playing in higher tiers. It was bad enough before but now it’s just completely botched.
I like the majority of changes o paper, but come on… If you test this patch out for a day you already realize how badly things are messed up right now.
I really hope to see Ricochet returned and Feline Graces made on par to it’s previous version (heck, make it 15 endurance returned on successful dodge that’d be better than this stunt they pulled with Vigor…)
I doubt anet will do anything — they seem to be invested in breaking things that work and ignoring things that don’t. Besides, PvE is king now in GW2, has been for a while, so unless it causes shocks in that community I don’t think they really care. Pretty much done with GW2 until they fix it, if ever. P/D used to be a fun roaming build and grew to be the only thing keeping me coming back to the game. Now I don’t even want to play anymore.
It’s decent for me, since I was originally playing D/P anyway, but it definitely sucks that they limited our options. Honestly I was mad because they buffed so many of the other professions, if not all, but, as usual, they nerfed thief. It’s like they hate thief, or they don’t understand that many people (were) mad about permastealth thieves, and not actually thieves in general. They’ve killed the profession, and unfortunately I just got an RNG ascended box and took a dagger. :/ I’m going to stick with thief for a while, but if they don’t change anything, or if MetaBattle doesn’t come up with some amazing build, I’m gonna have to say good bye to that main..

why rely on metabattle?
if the meta doesn’t suite you, make your own build, it’s not that hard, sorry but I’m sick of ppl crying (not directed at you I’m speaking in general ^^) about their builds not working any more, but for a fact it’s not even their builds, just copy and paste of a website that’s it.
Other players work kitten viable builds and spend a lot of gold testing and readjusting.
IMHO blindly following meta is the saddest thing to do as a thief, it has killed our build divesity, because everyone runs dp now, it’s boring.
I play dd and can mostly take out dp thieves, especially if they run meta, because atm they just drop like flies
I don’t mean to be harsh just stop waiting on others doing the work for you, sit down, come up with something and get to know your class better that way.
