Guild Wars 2

from speaking to some friends and reading some forums I have come to the conclusion Thief is one of the most appealing classes yet the highest failure rate in terms of people not adjusting to the skill required.

for myself, I am enjoying the profession and I have become very good at it (I will be making some vids for folks that are having issues in coping with the skill required for the profession)

before I make a vid, people need to realise the thief is far removed from the rogue in WoW, you cannot stay stealthed 100% of the time and you cannot ‘tank’ – there is no trinity system so technically no-one can ‘tank’, although some might be ‘tankier’ than others.

please realise, the thief is a in-and-out kind of profession, you need to be quick and you need to pay attention to animations (enemy attacks), if it’s a big swing or a gtAoE you need to use your dodge/abilities to get out of it.

also…. a thief does very good damage, however this game is not like other MMO’s which depend solely on who does the most damage, this MMO is about killing your enemy and w1nn1ng. to do this you and your party must survive the onslaught, whether it is dungeons or PvP and to do this you must stay alive. survival is key, not damage output =)
