Guild Wars 2

My title explains it. Everything else just dies and burst really isnt super high. Few players use anything else, the thief that comes to mind who doesnt use s/d is caed and he is even overpowered in a lot of 1v1 situations and has to reset a lot. He manages to succeed due to brilliant plays and is a master of his build. I would like to see the other builds brought up to be viable so we can actually experiment with the class… Right now i have to choose between fun or being viable…

other builds just don’t fit in current meta nor can compete in current state of game :/

i agree i wish other builds were more viable

nope, you’re completely wrong, there are some good builds around which are strong and viable.
For example I’m using Cruuk’s build with some variations, such build provides you a lot of damage and also a lot of survivability, combined with perma-stealth you shouldn’t die in any 1vs1(that doesn’t mean you win all 1vs1 but you shouldn’t die in those)
You only need practice practice and more practice to master it.

ah and also, d/p>s/d blinds do the work.

Im sorry dude but those builds just dont work. Cruuks build doesnt really work in the meta or any meta either lol. Once you get to a certain stage of the game u will realize this.

Everyone is trying to nerf our one last viable build which IMO is not all that great. But then ofcourse I"m playing the almighty OP warrior so nothing seems that great in comparison but still.

Cruuk’s build doesn’t work in this meta? lol.
It gives you the best way to condi remove for a thief.(vs necro, engi,ranger).
it gives you the most constant damage for a thief.(you can get 100% critical backstabs all the time)
It gives you blind(warriors).

I don’t know what are you thinking.

ehh. to each his own. just play what you like and if it work thats great

Cruuk’s build can’t cap points or contest points until you manage to kill the defender(s).

In high level play no team will leave more than 1 player to deal with you, so the rest of the fight will stay 4v4. And most good bunker or 1v1 builds certainly wouldn’t ever die to you (lol no Executioner). So you’re essentially wasting your time on a point that keeps ticking for the enemy. Even if you do kill the defender and take the point, you’re destined to lose the point during any later fights that ensue because you can’t contest it effectively, and must kill the enemy to have any chance of taking it back.

This is just a woefully inefficient process and pretty much any of the good far point assaulter/roamer builds can do your job much better (including S/D Thief).

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great build to watch and play, and he certainly plays it very well, but the Stealth mechanic really needs a rework for any build based so heavily on it to be viable in the conquest meta.
