Guild Wars 2

There are ways to prolong the experience.

1. Join their party on an alt

2. Use the piggy back method. Have a friend from their server join their party and invite you or if they solo join friend then invite target. I’ve actually used this method to join a zerg guild on an opposing server….needless to say guild chat was hilarious

3. 3rd party method is to have everyone on your server whisper the target asking if they need a tamponin (kudos if you get reference). Also having friend mail sugar cookies as a peace offering works as well to.

Just gotta think outside the box

I got one. Someone once complained thieves were crazy OP since we had Shadow Arts – and that trait line made it easy gamemode.

…So I dueled him without any points in SA, and won. He then decided thieves were OP anyways, with or without stealth mechanics.

You doing it wrong then….

Faeyd.5094:

I officially love this thread.

I killed a thief duo last night and got a LOT of aggro from them after I was running full Dire D/D P/D so lots of Blossoming and such… they were able to res several times (refuge each other’s downed states) so it took a while but was a comfortable. Turns out one of them was very close to my spec and wanted to show me how bad I was in a duel. I mean… I just killed you and your mate… several times each.

Then ran into a brilliant Ele who ran rings round me – I couldn’t get him down, great cleansing, timing and rotations. I legged it as I would have lost and was about to send some props to a great player and got a mouthful from them just before I could send my message. People hate thieves… even thieves.

My mentor told me deathblossom builds counter nearly every thief build ever. I didn’t believe him at first until he melted me a few times. I got to hand it to those two thieves though. They tried. :P

Where are all these deathblossom thieves I hear that is such a powerful build? ._. I’ve never encountered a good one…

So last night I was in spvp, (Battle of Kyhlo) and decided that the ranger on the enemy team was the issue, being that he was the auto attack flavor of the month.. So everytime I saw him on the field, I had to make sure that he understood his place. This lead to a huge cry fest in map chat, as well as in whispers.. to quote him. “stop playing d/p and learn to be gud noob”. So yeah, the QQ is still very strong in the player base when it comes to thieves. lol

this would probably be removed if it was in english…

Well,my dutch is not the best,tho i can tell he swear at the start(son of a …),and then complaining that he can only come with 10 ppl and that he is a bad player

Still need full translation to be scored on 1-10 scale

ps. That’s the new thing of the thread….score the QQ

Superb reverse psychological complaints thread.

I’m sure that when Arenanet read all these “our class is ubarrr” comments, they’re bound to give thieves the nerf they deserve a haircut.

Bumpus maximus.

He was one of the last fleeing members of an enemy zerg, full glass thief, shadow-stepping away from a couple of guys, so I took the opportunity to feel like a powerful class and bursted the little glass connon down. The following people enjoyed their free stacks.
Teef so OP, can down other teefs

i dont mind S/D and P/D but i must admit that D/P makes me mad to no end. I dont mind dealing with heartseeker spammer i dont mind D/D backstabs and i actualy wouldnt mind backstabs in the first place if it wasnt for the fact this build is constantly hiding in stealth and avoiding chains while running away and escaping with like 20 seconds stealth the moment its about to die. Like holy crap you darn coward come here and fight already stop hiding i didnt sharpen that edged weapon just so you could heal yourself fully by hiding like this!

Behing myself a S/D thief wich practicaly nearly never rely on stealth save for refuge and cloak escape i find fighting d/p thief who constantly stealth spam with blinding powder utherly frustrating. There is no counterplay to that its just called endure the constant stealthing phase and avoid getting stabbed in the back. At least D/D needs to connect a blow to go invisible D/P does not and has easy access to blind making it into some kind of glorified version of D/D stealth spam. do all the darn backstabs you want but god sake stop constantly stealthing like this its makes fools out of people who actualy works their head off building stuff. There is no counter to a constantly stealthing thief save for a bunker build a mass turret enginer or a tanky guard and that alone is a hint that something is utherly wrong.

I dont mean to say that D/P is easy mode it might just be difficult to place damage with since BS work only on back or side but if playing thief meant behing a ’’BLEEP’’ then likely it exemplify it.

Like they say… there is no honor amongst thieves. Those that do fight honorably generaly gets killed by other thieves that do not.

I find d/p thieves pretty much easy on my S/D dunno what is your problem really :o
I just attack the thin air with my sword somtimes use the basilisk venom and when you see that the venom buff is gone it means you got him and just continue to auto attack where it hits+you can reach him even if he is in the blind field cause the sword can reach farther.Most of them squishy as kitten so 4 auto attacks would almost kill them.
And if I know he have less then 30% health I switch to SB and cluster the whole area if he stealth.

Im not saying i cant kill them but i take a perverse pleasure on punishing them to the point if one is realy bad at its build ill even spawn point farm him till he ragequit the match (who cares if i loose that hotjoint i got a jerk to torment and god know ill ENJOY it). The defrence between other class and D/P is they take way longuer to chase or to kill due to constant excape and thats anoying i dont like when my prey runs away constantly.

You see its all anchored in the fact i used to run D/D shadow arts, I respect the fact a stealth thief needs to connect cloak and dagger to actualy stealth constantly as it force the thief to melee contact and allows the player to actualy score a few hits between stealthing phase, however blackpowder makes a joke out of d/d glorious backstab set because it doesnt even need a blow to connect or to actualy strike something to stealth constantly from smoke fields and i realy cant stand that.

No realy there are kind of players who deserve a long painful agonising death and i consider it a duty to punish them accordingly when given the chance. You heard me all of you D/P thieves? I want to hear you scream!

You forget the simple fact that black powder+HS combo do require much more inti,and have less stealth time than CnD?

@ kyubi: since you talk about D/P thieves healing in stealth driving you crazy, it might actually be the SA line that bothers you, not necessarily the D/P set.

Trickery D/P fights are usually fast paced while SA D/P is a long game of hide and seek.

Depends on player

Prediction factor is important.
You need experience to stand your own against D/P and guess where they are.
Some people just stop attacking like NPCs once you are stealthed…

hmmm lol longbow pewpew ranger complaining about thief doing 222333322333
first of all if a thief kills you with that you are a total noob,secondly,longbow is not better than 2233322235 , at least 22233332225 needs to be in melee range and not 54311111111111114311111111143111111111,1300m away.

it’s funny when people don’t realize that thieves are designed to spam.

Optimized into spamming…
Why throw in a backstab/death blossom on a target that’s bellow 25% health when heartseeker does so much more.
Just one example.

Thieves don’t spam they finish it

Hi everyone,

Since this thread couldn’t offer a constructive debate and has derailed into an inflammatory discussion, we’ll now close it.

Thank you for your understanding.
