Guild Wars 2

People only think about what killed them. So, once you have them under 25% and use HS to finish them off, they see you as spamming HS. Or, if you use it mid fight to gap close, you’re a HS spammer! A true HS spammer uses it the entire fight, and I have seen some around even lately. That said, anyone dying to a true HS spammer needs to l2p because it’s nearly impossible to die to the damage it does over 25% health.

be happy they are spamming HS at you, meaning they are stupid and don’t know own class heh

i would be scared of thieves that actually don’t spam it…._

7k HS at 100% HP is impossible (even if you play glass necro)… screenshots or didn’t happen

this HS with 30/30/…. traits (aka full glass), zerker gear (with some ptv), with wvw bloodlust, w/o food however
let’s assume it always crits, w/o additional debuffs and buffs it would hit you for 2k dmg maybe but surely no where near 7k

don’t forget you also have armor that reduces dmg taken, so the number would be probably way lower

my guess, what truly happend, is that thief went stealth, hit you for 10k+ backstab and then went to spam heartseeker since you probably went under 50% of you HP

Here’s the bitter truth: If anyone dies to heartseeker spam, they are not a decent player.

To OP,

Assuming the thief hit you with bassi before backstab, hit your stunbreak, then activate death shroud and preferably fear them. Once feared, chill/cripple/immob them and range them for the rest of the fight. If you don’t have death shroud up, then manage your death shroud health better. Or even better, if you see the thief coming, just chill them and range them and watch as they pathetically flail themselves in the air in front of you.

Heartseeker spam is incredibly easy to counter.

I will spam four deathblossoms in a row but that works.

Yes, run a p/d build and destroy everything, heartseeker and backstabbing free!

Good to see most people that are on here are trolls..

There were actually posts about the damage coefficient and stopping the thief using immobilize, cripple, and chill. This issue has been addressed before and it probably won’t be the last time someone makes a thread on it.

Personally Thief plays as it should, Are they “op” 1v1 no. Every class has “op” mechanics to them. Everyone know thieves can stealth, deal high dmg, etc. And thats something you should plan for in a PvP/WvW/etc environment. If ur a condi build and u cant out-sustain your foe theeeeeeen thats a build/player issue, not a class mechanic issue.

HS spam kills noobs, there are tons of noobs, therefore there is tons of HS spam.

This was made quite a while ago showcasing the strengths of heatseeker spam:

In this case, this is a serious l2p issue. There are so many counters to HS spam, it’s ridiculous. Instead, we still get posts from keyboard turners about how they still die to HS spam. It’s the equivalent of getting killed by 6 pool zerg rush.
