I’ve played a thief since Pre-Launch. Maybe — just MAYBE — the only OP thing I can think of about thieves would be the signets. Use them right, and yes, they deal a massive amount of damage that should probably get a little bit adjusted. Oh, and the culling in WvW. Yeah, that… never understood that. Kind of feel guilty about it so I don’t do much PvP on the thief nowadays… hoping that is something that gets fixed…
But when I look at these forums — rarely, mind you — I can’t help but be completely baffled by the fact that people already want a stealth rework. Or they want thieves to be nerfed until they’re just a useless sack of potatoes. Yeah, lets jut take out all their damage and just throw conditions on every oneof their attacks. THEN it’s fair. Yup. No wait! Then they’ll STILL be OP!
No. Just because you get caught by a thief and he decimates you because you don’t seem to understand the fact that you have a DODGE BUTTON as well as other tactics you can probably pull out of your kitten — and trust me, there are definitely ways to outrun a thief, I’ve done so on both my tissue paper ele and clunky-as-hell Guardian — does NOT justify a full-on nerf. I’ve been stopped by rangers, mesmers, eles, Guardians, Warriors — lots of Guardians and Warriors, jeebussotanky — everything. It’s completely relative to knowing how to play. LEARN your class instead of crying and crying for a nerf to something you don’t understand. AOEs work on any stealthed thief. Any. WvW, not even a thief can survive getting pelted by 6-7 arrow carts. Want to kill them as they try to run or stealth? Frickin’ root their feet to the ground so they stop jumping around and knock their face into the dirt, and you have no problem now in killing them. See? Easy!
I love this class. I will not have it ruined for me because of a bunch of crybaby idiots that can’t understand their own class and gameplay and want the easy way out. You want a nerf? Show me you can play first.
Especially mesmers. I hate them. And it gives me immense satisfaction taking them down simply because it’s hard as kitten as a thief. All those illusions and what have you…
If you need me, I’ll be in the game, ENJOYING IT, and PLAYING IT, because that’s the ONLY way that I’m going to get better. These forums do nothing for improving skill level. Just deteriorates your brain cells. So, no, I won’t be responding to anyone.
