Today in WvWvW, one thief managed to get into a keep (no idea how, walls were up, presume it was an exploit), but he ran round destroying seige, just stealthing, hitting it one, stealthing over and over and over again. About 9-12 defenders were trying to kill him, but no luck as stealt is kittening op.

Thats totally overpowered, no one playe should ever be able to resist being taken down by 12 others.

Thats not a L2P thats an OP mechanic.

Don’t cry baby:) 5 cents are already given away

I truly believe that’s really not a L2P:D

Thieves are so OP man!

So he was attacking siege with nothing but Cloak and Dagger? It’d take him a week to break a single piece of Siege.
And if 12 people couldn’t kill him, that isn’t a game issue, that’s an all 12 people are raving idiots issue.
Stealth doesn’t protect you, it just makes you invisible. All they had to do was start throwing around AoEs and attacking the air around where he might be.
And it’s not like the Thief is actually doing anything while he’s staying in stealth like that.

If you knew roughly where he was then any of the 12 people could have used skills like updraft, earthquake on an ele or fear me, earthshaker, stomp on a warrior etc when the stealth was going to wear off. Follow it up with some burst damage and another stun for good measure and he’s dead.

Stealth is an incredibly powerful mechanic when people don’t bother to counter it :P

As a Thief player I believe Stealth is OP but if you nerfed Stealth now Thief will be a dead meat. I think we need help first and then nerf Stealth later on. An 1-2sec Revealed debuff on coming out of Stealth without doing damage would be acceptable.

All is vain.

Why do you always assume hacking……

The thief probably got in when your team was capping the fort and remained in stealth hoping to demolish your stuff when alone.

where do you throw around aoes? seriously? esp on walls where he can just jump off, or into supply building roofs.
No its pure chance to hit them,.

Its not skill.

Its a totally op mechanic.

AS ever the thiefs only agruement is “everyone else sucks”, strange that no other profession could do something remotely similar.

I’m not saying he was not good, he was, but the facts are stealth is op with an average player, wiht a good player its totally kittenedly good.
