Guild Wars 2

Let’s count that damage again since you think stating 15+k damage while stealthed was a frivolous statement.

4253 points from cloak and dagger
6753 points from heart seeker
4503 points from heart seeker

I count 15,509 damage from a thief while he was stealthed out

You were hit for around 6.7k damage while the Thief was stealthed, CnD was before he was stealthed and those abilities after backstab are after he leaves stealth.

Of course the moderator thought that, he actually knows what the abilities do. Stop crying, you are making a fool out of yourself.

Backstab nerfed? keep dreaming. Mug trait (steal damage) and Assassin’s Signet are the problem, not Backstab. Infact, I think backstab should do MORE base damage, because it is utter garbage if you are not full power/crit.

A damage build oriented skill is not useful without building for damage?

Do tell…

First for those of you that are saying he was out of stealth. No he stealthed and started in on me. Did not lose stealth until after he put the death flag on me. Most likely he used one of the other stealth operatives, i.e. the heal stealth or something like that, to get his stealth rolling.

When I play condition thief, auto attack, heartseeker, dancing dagger and cloak and dagger are all very useful, even when I am not build for power/crit so you were saying?

Backstab needs a higher base damage so it becomes better for other builds aswell. People who think Backstab does high damage have no clue, it is the combination of a Assassin’s Signet backstab + cloak and dagger + mug steal damage.

Backstab alone is actually weak and should have its base damage increased. Nerf Mug and Assassin’s Signet, problem solved.

WvW + invisible bug (not a stealth mechanic) + whine → boring and repetitive

Oh, and btw, you were attacked by TWO thieves, not just one, since I see another thief using shortbow in the log.

How much Armor do you have?

Am I hearing this correctly, nerf Mug? What does that 2k of damage have to do with anything? It’s like 4 stacks of might, almost nothing…

This is all a joke right?

I would bother posting and trying to help this person understand but…

Well, as the old saying goes, You can drag a horse to water but you can’t make him drink it.
