Guild Wars 2

Im so sick of always going glasscannon, just ot do half the dmg of all the other classes, at first i thought this patch was great then i realized how bad it truly was for thieves. Anet always saying they want build variety, the only build i see anyone do these days has trickery, deadly arts, and critical strikes. You have forced thieves into a corner anet, and why? because some whiny mesmer players said we were too op, well guess what we never were, now you have given mesmers a huge dmg and condi advantage, this includes most other classes except necro which i feel bad for. Do you have morons doing the balance for the game?

Half the damage of other classes?… do u even Use a build?!

I can 2-3 hit squishys instantly… and even can outdamage guardians.. sure Rampagin Warriors currently are annoying, but i never had a problem killing mesmers… im sorry but Thiefs are good.

Huh? checks

Yep, still a thief on each team in the ESL finals a couple days ago. Neither was running Critical Strikes.

Any other burst class will kill a squishy target, even with auto hits.
I’m not trying to say your wrong, but our dmg is lackluster compared to almost every other class, since they don’t need to be stealthed or need a backstab from behind to do sometimes even more dmg

Thieves are still good, even condi ones, I adore them and never had a problem killing anyone unless they meant to be my counter somehow. But yeah they’re really good

Damage is ok on thief, its our defensive options that are shrinking. you have to give up basically all defenses just to be a threat on the field.

^This the defense doesn’t even seem worth it.
