Before you complain about the thief class
stealth is our only real defensive ability
People have said this, like, 20 times on the forum today.
It makes me sad that you all have forgotten dodging. And shadowsteps. They, too, are your friends!
1: don’t care let them all die
2: Devs have already admitted that Thieves will be toned down Specially in the backstab area). Stealth rendering issue is a kitten bug that should of been fixed at launch and makes teri-bad Thieves actually look good.
3: One of not the lowest that belongs to the Ele I believe, but your class has so many ways to get away and heal it is not even funny.
4: We are not going to argue that Guardians and Messmers are not OP, but if those are the ONLY 2 classes you need to catch unaware to beat then there is a problem (by your own words).
5: That goes back to rendering issues with stealth, I got ganked 100-0 and never saw the Thief until I was dead. Sure traps and such work but if you can’t target them you can’t do your main damaging abilities putting you at a huge disadvantage.
6: That is such a crock it encourages the punishment of zerging? WOW is your head in the clouds. NO SINGLE class should be able to keep 10+ people from capping for as long as it is going on right now.
7: Nope kill all the kitten fairies.
8: Get ready to be nerfed into oblivion
Lol almost every single one of those response numbers is an opinion
Culling wasn’t spoken of and that’s a universal issue. AFAIK that is the only thing devas have promised to fix. Guess what? Even that wont stop me from doing what I do and that’s stopping 40+ zergs from capping supply camps. Its easy to count with coordinated gameplay and is what makes thieves useful in their own way in wvw. Just like mesmers with portals, guardians with walls/sanctuary, eles with aoes, etc etc.
Arenanet themselves said that zergs are actually the weaker strategy compared to separate squads running tactical missions while coordinating with other commanders.
You havent seen the ele bunker build? My comparison to other classes was to prove that we are not most OP if other classes can straight up beat us in 1v1
