Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

Been a week or so since my last post. Been busy with stuff.

Just got off of my thief probably for the last time in a long time….which is sad, because it’s my favorite class.

Thief has become so bad that I literally CANNOT play it anymore. If I join any group for PvP or the Raid, people literally tell me to switch character or get out. Telling me that thief’s do everything worse than other classes.

I spent two hours trying to find a PvP group or a raid group, and was kicked from 6 groups that would invite me, ask me to switch characters, and when I didn’t, would kick me.

So…..thief is basically unplayable unless you are just solo’n random stuff.

You can’t do any group content or competitive PvP because no one wants us……

Is this really what it’s supposed to be like?

I am currently rocking my Tank Herald and get groups instantly….which is fine….but I guess it means I might as well sell everything on my thief because it might as well not exist anymore lol.

Really crappy scenario that makes it harder and harder to even log in anymore.

But thief is fine cuz mobility and stealth or something.

Well, if raiding parties kicks you out, it means they’re just really ignorant and probably bad players, you should be relieved by that.

Do you have a guild? My guild doesn’t care about the meta. Sure, I’m not very useful in raids, but for anything else, they will happily have me. I personally don’t like raids anyway, so it’s a win/win for me.

If you need a guild, I’ll happily invite you to it.

But otherwise, I avoid PUG groups like the plague.

I do have a full guild list, and thank you for the invite.

But really the point of the post was to bring to light the fact that thief’s have been nerfed to a point where no one wants us. To a point where we literally CANNOT play them. To a point where in order to play them, we need our personal friends or our guild to take pity on us and LET us play our thief……

That isn’t how it should be…..

There is always a strongest class and a weakest class….but rarely in all of my MMO’s have I seen a class SO weak that they are literally banished from group play….

I’ll have to agree with Galandil, the people who actually kicked u for being a Thief were probably garbage players who would have wasted ur time anyway. I’ve killed VG on my Thirf plenty of times, just start ur own raid squad and invite people because people are too ignorant.

Watch what the recent nerf and reveal additions do to this argument.

Watch. You’ll be amazed.

Tada.

Going into parties I literally have to put a disclaimer that my DPS I am speaking of is a thief…..upon finding this out, they don’t want me to DPS anymore…

I have to put a disclaimer of what class I am……how sad is that.

That shows how good our dev is!!!

Real answer, the groups you were joining were morons. Thief has the highest if not one of the highest DPS in PVE still given a situation where you have full party buffs.

PVP is a different story, even when I see a thief on my team I sigh a little now…and I main this class.

I thought pretty much every class has higher dps than thief now?
And yeah, let’s not even talk about thief in pvp

Every class does have higher DPS than thief, better armor, better speed, better stealth. Since HoT I get chewed out quite often if I bring a thief into a PvP match because they are absolutely the worst class in the game now.

I did reroll to herald from thief on HoT release, play properly a Thief requires a really high skill level that I don’t have and I doubt I will ever. I mainly do WvW and I still meet pretty good thieves there (thieves no daredevils, it is actually interesting) than can totally destroy you in a blink of an eye taking no any damage and totally outplaying my kitten off.

Every time that I get my kitten totally rolled up by one of those thieves I smile.

Not in raids.

We really need an answer to what they feel thief’s place is in this game because its really painful playing the game these days.

staff thief, drastically under powered.
venom share thief : slightly better with new stats but still only has poison as valid damage which is a waste of an elite trait for one skill.
condi: subpar
burst stealth : reveal every where even in bloody Fractals, really…
trapper: were the only class with a rectangular trap, why?
all the thief op comments from people who have either just faced their first thief and or never played a thief to se how hard it actually is to get skilled on, have caused this game state. i mean the recent unexplained change to steal (which i believe has been undone now) shows how out of touch balance teams are with this class now they have they’re shiny new ones.
we’re meant to be the fastest class, swift hitting with burst damage or huge burst condi. in a 1v1 we use traps/stealth to gain the edge agains the other classes. and new physicals give us the close range edge to we can get in and take hits in a tanky dps build.
at the moment its arrow to the knee, down state ,dead. you’re a thief don’t join us, you too weak in everything. you unique utilities, we don’t need them because the other classes who gained them as specialisations, now do them 100 times better than you did, don’t worry at least you have a nice dodge animation.

Please rebalance this class back. look at what you’ve added to the game and see how you’ve destroyed it.

Even though elite specs are strong, they are not the perfect option for every single build in every situation. Daredevil traits are good in some builds, too bad that most slot them no matter what.
