How did you adapt to the changes?
I never relied on stealth to get the job done so I had no need to adapt. Some of the more D/P type thieves in our guild have made simple changes and are doing just fine as well. I gotta agree with the OP, this QQ fest is really sad and needs to stop. ANet would listen if our class community could find the time to intelligently approach the situation rather than scream NOOOOOO! WHHHHYYYY!?
2 cents and +1 for the first real thread to take a positive note on the recent patch, let’s see some more new builds.

Okay guys, enough of the QQ fest, ANet won’t listen to what we have to say in the matter with thieves anyway. Now I’m here to ask you – how did you adapt to the nerf in PvE, sPvP and WvW? How did you change your build and playstyle?
I’m especially eager to hear the opinions of people using Valk/Berserker armor, since I’m using that build, but others are welcome as well.
I was full beserker armor and trinkets, but invested in some defensive gear. Now using power/precicion/toughness armor with divinity runes, beserker trinkets, and valkyrie weapon for more hp. This gives you more defense and hp, and still sustaining about the same critical rate. Critical damage goes down a bit however, for me went from 111% to 95%. This gives you more defense for when you are out of stealth, which you are way longer now, and still sustaining great backstab damage.
Build: 0/30/30/10/0 playing with d/p
PvE doesnt matter, still pretty easy with full beserker armor.
How did I adapt? I’ve been playing Tomb Raider since its release and from the looks of this I will not be returning to GW, so, basically I’ve adapted before the changes.
None of my builds were affected really. No adaptation needed as far as I’m concerned.

This crap is not helpful.. Your playing Tomb Raider but still on the GW boards… uh huh.
For me I am trying a S/P with some better armor and more conditional then the d/d GC I was running.
Sometimes adversity is opportunity and while I don’t welcome the change its forced me to try things that I wouldn’t have before because I was complacent.

This new change adding 1s to revealed has really annoyed and ruined my rotation then made my thief unplayable.
My thiefs only last hope, trying to find a new build where I have almost endless dodge.

endless dodge is somewhat attainable, if you will invest in certain traitlines and add a signet that will return your full endurance
specially if you will gear towards condi damage and utilize superior rune of the adventurer

Just looking, I noticed a patch was planned so I checked it out. He asked, I answered, I don’t understand why you are having problems with that.
Are we forbidden to post unless GW is all we play?

Aw, blind spam? Man, I ditched that before reaching level 60, it’s so boring. Mind you, D/D burst is least affected by this while S/D (your other sword main) is out of the window.

Enjoy your blind spam + auto attack.
I force my self to play better with what I have.
I don’t change anything unless I clearly cant do anything with it.
I really don’t notice the extra revealed time at all and the only haste I used was on proc so that was matter of changing traits.
