Any reason to keep my thief?
Good changes. I have a thief as well. However you could b in stealth 90% of the time with cloak and dagger. This new change to stealth is a GOOD one. Especially for WvW.
If you can’t handle a much-needed balancing, then you should probably delete your thief. As a thief player, I can say with no uncertainty that your claim that “all viable roles have been removed from thief” is nonsense.
Also, warriors got hit pretty hard with the quickness change. 100 blades wont be AS deadly now.

Actually, they didn’t change that part …

You can still stealth near infinitely. Now you’re weaker if you don’t stealth near inifinitely.

Isn’t it hilarious?!?!? It’s such a poorly thought out change that I can’t help but just laugh in disgust.
You still play a thief?! lol
No, please quit

Yeah, it’s so horrible to sit in chain stealth somewhere and not be a threat to anyone.
So you nerfed our elite skill, you nerfed our condition damage skills, you nerfed stealth, you nerfed our burst ability, and you nerfed our sustained damage all in one patch. Are you planning on removing thief in the next patch? I’m unsure what you want the role of thief to be now that you have removed all viable roles from them and again buffed warriors.
If you don’t want us playing thief just tell us so we can reroll into warriors.
Well, they don’t want you to reroll warrior. They want you to reroll d/d ele lol. And yeah, it seems they are bent on removing the thief at this rate.
Elite skill removed from game in one patch, stealth nerfed due to bad players whining, etc. Basically anet is saying “d/d ele gogo!”
Oh yeah, where’s that “extra mobility” promised? Lol. Yeah, we knew this would happen. Just blanket nerf a mechanic with no compromise anywhere else.
Yep you should delete your entire account and go play another MMO. Clearly these nerfs that have rendered the entire class unplayable even though it will still dominate WvW.
Dominate WvW? Yes. The glass cannon full zerker thieves will take you down in seconds. Why you ask? They only rely on stealth once to get their burst (CnD -> Steal -> Backstab -> Heartseek until death). These new changes are pretty much forcing thieves to play those builds, because our survivability just dropped with 33%, and it sucked to begin with.
Every time I’ve played sPvP I notice something.
Fighting noobs; They cry about stealth being op. They never try to dodge my backstab. They never AoE the crap out of the area I can be in. They never auto attack the area I’m in. They just stand there. Waiting for my backstab. Or they start to run and I’ll just chase them down and backstab them.
Fighting some who have learnt to counter thieves: they chain CC me the moment I come out of stealth and burst the crap out of me. If my stun breaker is down I’m dead. While I’m invisible they AoE the crap out of the are I could possibly be in. They dodge after they’ve counted to three seconds. They auto attack the area I went invisible in.
And who do we see in these forums? The 12 year old noobs who think that something they can’t see is something they cant kill. I have been killed countless times by pro players that have learnt to read stealth. Learnt to predict my position and actions. I’ve asked several pro players in sPvP and most of them say the same thing: In the start it was pretty annoying to meet a thief. But now I have no problem dragging the fight out, and for a thief that equals being killed.
See? They learnt how to play and they didn’t complain. They learnt that thieves in stealth isn’t immune to damage, they can still get downed and cc’d.
We were just nerfed to being warriors with half its damage, hp and toughness. w2g anet.
