Guild Wars 2

So, after the countless threads and posts from people asking to nerf thieves unjustly, how about instead of nerfing thieves, Anet buffs other classes?

That’s the best I can think of. After countless replies and debating, it’s really boring for me to write the same exact argument to people on why thieves don’t need any more nerfs, and when new people pop up to complain, they don’t bother reading the 18+ pages of debate. They just post their thoughts and the same debate cycle starts over and over… And I’m also tired of countering with long paragraphs only to have it ignored x.×.

So how about it? Buff other classes (not warriors, they’re really strong since I play that), and put an end to the rather tasteless requests for nerfs on thieves?

So instead of just leaving things as they are and just fixing niggles here and there, you want the balance between classes to be FURTHER skewed away from Thieves that have enough disadvantages as it is?

No thanks.

Oh, don’t take it wrong. Thieves could use some buffs and fixes too on some of the weapon sets.

This is just addressed towards those QQers. And there are definitely some prefessions/specs that are underwhelming, some due to bugs.

I’m pro-thief like you -.-. Read my past messages.

Yeah, it not like power creep has destroyed so many games’ balance.

Everyone knows its easier to balance 1 thing then it is to buff every class. Someone always suggest this in every mmo I seen it never happens. How do you just buff the classes anyway? Moar Damage?

So you want everybody to be able to kill everybody else in <2 seconds with no risk?

That doesn’t seem like a good idea. I’ll stick with the thief nerfs tyvm.

100b should be a 360 degrees ranged attack that always crits and can’t be dodged and on a 3s CD!

add stability, protection , knockback/knockdown to thief , like every other class have, and i would careless about stealth

Thief isn’t any bit ahead of other classes in terms of burst. Most of the classes in this game can burst just as fast as thief. The only difference is they don’t have stealth, because they have other ways to mitigate damage, higher base stats, etc. Hell, other classes can burst just as hard as a thief can, but they can do it at range and in AoE.
