Guild Wars 2

OK, so full disclosure:

a) I play a thief fairly well, but not my main
b) I made and tried playing a ghost thief

So, I played one for a little bit (and i did so badly I might add) and the thing was so over powered I accidentally won fights. While “funny” from a thought experiment sorta way it was super cheap. So to that end, thank you anet for updating the game to nerf this build.

Mind you I don’t think its a loss that i geared up for this since I can condi thief just fine. Still funny though.

Ghost thf is still going to be there as perma stealth did not get nerf only the abitly of ghost thf to stay perma stealth and it being able to do a lot of things. So you can still condi ppl out side of traps with other non dmg effects stealth cantrps and be annoying but a ghost thf cant kill ppl unless they revial them self with a trap or a hard hit.

Yes, while the build can still be played, there is at least some counter play to it as opposed to straight trolling and killing people while never leaving stealth. It didn’t take much for me to “chase” someone and condi them until they had no options left, and that was the biggest problem with it. They just had to take the punishment with no way of knowing where I was. The problem was that there was almost no counter play and in solo roaming situations it would be annoying for the roamer coming across one of them. All in all good changes on Anets part.

Thieves now have cantrips. Ok.
