Please for the love of god, unless you’re atheist, watch this. Take notes and revise what you have created.

I know that my thief isn’t superior to anyone else’s, but i can fairly say that I am experienced on thief and i know how to play my role. But the same can’t be said to the people who are new to the game, heart of thorns is suppose to bring in new players. Not kick them out by one of these ^.

Just go dragon hunter. Already making my transition there. It’s obvious Anet doesn’t care for thief any more.

Your fault because thief is not meant to 1v1 any class but other thieves.
Also thief role is +1, next time wait for 1 teammate to engagé so you can be his pet.

Thief might not be as strong as last year
but they’re a lot stronger
than they will be next year!

Well, next time, just dodge trough him (pops all his traps) before trying any teleport and gg… you have 15 sec to down him.

you’re suppose to use staff, that’s why you got rekt.

staff #3 is awesome; you will get 1/2 second evade which is ample to avoid the damage.

Don’t you know that thief is perma shadowstep too? That guardian was clearly outplaying you, shooting arrows from 1200 range and dealing massive dmg every 4 sec and traps is only for skilled players.

It’s Anets way of getting Thieves to use dual pistols since it’s only way to dmg them enough from range. If hard to catch wasn’t on an awful traitline then it’d be nice for saving you from pull. It’s also a horrible idea to steal to them.
It’s funny how strong DH is though when it’s the spec everyone hated when they saw it. That’s what happens when something about a popular class is widely hated. It gets turbopowered buffs or something. Thief is unpopular in theme though since we’re profiled criminals and spit on by society. They’re supposed to be Heroes and they were; they defeated Zhaitan. However, they lived long enough to become the villain and got beaten by the Nerfbatman.

The problem with dragonhunter traps isn’t only low base health classes but you can imagine how much fun these traps are in zergfights.
But anet apperantly has said long ago that they won’t balance wvw, which they then did which brought us the pirate ship meta (ranged zergfights).
So yeah.. whatever, I guess.

One of the earlier forums post of me is something like “Why are you guys crying about coverage? My server is always outnumbered (no lie, we were even outnumbered while having a queue) and we always crush zergs at least twice our number” – and that was true. We did so as pugs without TS, btw. And can you imagine how that feels? Was pretty good (understatement).
Not possible anymore due to multiple changes one of them is DH traps. Anet nerfed skill big time.

You forgot the most important rule for fighting a DH:

YOU DON"T FIGHT A DH


Joking aside, pretty sure both DH’s and Rev’s will be toned down… between now and the next 3 years ofc.

In three years when they redesign the trait system again to just be a straight line.

For thief it will be faceplant instead of faceroll. flatline

The main flaw of this thread was that you mentioned you were a thief. Despite it being on the thief forums, if you said “Plea from a Warrior” you might’ve tricked them to respond

That’s why you don’t use a gap closer on DH because you know he is standing on those traps and you foolishly fell for it over and over again.

I disagree. I can 1v1 most meta builds. People just need to learn to adapt to the changes. It isn’t a year ago when you can run a glass power build and get away with it.

Nah, this is how you play DH. You just take a nap in your traps and wait for silly teef to steal to u and ded.

Hey OP, the DH outplayed you. you didnt adapt to his playstyle. You run around with 12,4k life? like seriously, what do u expect?! also you saw how squishy the DH was, just a few hits with bow to kill him. I for example played d/p / p/p before HoT and now i play Staff / p/p. in both cases i would have killed him. DH’s are soo predictable…

Heres my take on this.

First time you got melted was the fault of Anet for allowing cancer like this to roam wvw.

The second time you got melted, you deserved it.

general rule of thumb is dont steal to guardian.
