Guild Wars 2

Condi is king now. Necros have dhuumfire, engis have thier burning on crit also. Guardians have it. Mesmers I think can randomly apply it.

To compete with the condi meta we need burning somewhere. Either on crit on or a pistol #2 or dagger #4.

Just saying, condi thief will never be viable in tpvp unless we can drop condis as fast and as many as necros and engis. Burning would go a long way.

They said in interview they were going to give us burn condition. Hasn’t happened yet. (along with more mobility)

Thief in general isn’t very viable in tpvp because stealth can’t contest points.

Note: I am not saying thief is useless in tpvp.

I’d take burning and not complain :P

Burning isn’t even the only problem with thief condi. As of right now, the only condi weapon we have is P/D which is entirely reliant on cloak and dagger landing or else it’s damage will be pitifully low.

There is a lot wrong with condi thief.

4s revealed.
Burning.
Weakness.
All rest of status condis that other classes can throw at you over and over and we can’t.

Burning I think would go the furthest tho.

I hate the new condi meta. Either move with the meta or quit the game, right?

MOAR torment too plox?

Not to mention we don’t spread our conditions on all the node like Necro/Engi (Caltrops being the exception).

Need torch :O

What if we could cap points while in Stealth, just do it at half-rate versus not stealthed.

Fair?

I thought about breaking out my condi p/d thief to try out the changes to shadow strike. It’s been so long since I played that build, I had to run the gear and traits through a builder to get an idea of what my damage would be like. Compared to my engineer it’s pretty ridiculous. Even optimizing my thief as much as possible doesn’t come close to what my engy can stack. And, my engy doesn’t come close to what my necro can do, but imo is much more fun to play. At this point, my condi thief will stay on the shelf, and when I do play thief, it won’t be condition.

Don’t forget that they nerfed Caltrops durations too. :(
