Guild Wars 2

I really just want to know why Anet seems to force us in to stealth every patch? They say they want the thief to have mobility, then continue to remove mobility skills.

As a S/P SB thief, I was a proud non stealth user. I loved using my IS tactically to get in to fights, and if it went bad, I used the one escape I had if it was still up. Now what am I left with?

PW was nerfed, and that was okay because haste was a bit over the top. Haste has been since nerfed, so why hasn’t PW been brought back up? Right now my autoattack chain does more damage. If it wasn’t for the evade I wouldn’t even use it.

It’s like they want us to completely convert to stealth users. Then what? Nerf it so thoroughly that no one ever plays thief again?

I am now approaching 1000 hours on my thief main, and the only thing stopping me from scrapping it altogether is the amount of time and money invested, and the fact that no other class interests me. I won’t go stealth and I won’t quit the class Anet, but it’s really unfortunate that I am kitten because of the way I like to play.

Umm IS was meant to have a 1200 range, said so in it’s tooltip.
People complaining that ANet FIXED not NERFD, but FIXED it so Thiefs can no longer have a “Get out of jail free card” skill, that has been rumored to be useful up to 2000 range, so pretty much, yes they changed it, but they changed it to how it was spost to work, they didn’t NERF it like everyone is saying…

I am not going to argue with you about the definition of a nerf, but I will tell you it was not fixed. It is now way more buggy then it was.

As others have stated, the tooltip also says it returns you to your original location, not in a tree/underground/a random distance from your location to the original location.

Why is it that people who have no idea what they’re talking about insist on talking

Infiltrator’s Strike 3 Shadowstep to a foe and strike them. Use Shadow Return to shadowstep back and cure one condition.

Shadow Return 2 Return to your original location. Cure one condition.

Where’s this Fabled 1200 range? Oh right, it doesn’t say that. It says, “Return to your original location. Cure one condition.”

Sorry if I sound angry, it’s just that you’re about the 50th person I’ve seen use that as a response so you’re the 50th person to reply without actually checking their facts.

I’ve never had s/p been too useful in pvp/wvw, but it’s great in pve. Even if they buff pistol whip the set will still not be good enough in a pvp setting where everyone is moving.

Unless they make it so that you can move while pw is doing it’s animation, then you’d see more people use it for sure.

Also inf.strike’s shadow return shouldn’t cost any initiative anymore imo.
