Guild Wars 2

I don’t find restricting the thief with his stealth abilities all that beneficial to his play style. If you’re playing a stealthier thief this mechanic severely limits your potential, leaving a wide gap for your opponents to take advantage of. This doesn’t exactly solve a stealth spamming build but rather is punishing to those who use it, mainly for backstabs. A reasonable anti-spam would be a 1-2 second reveal option

Stealth spam is annoying and fun-leeching.

That’s from someone that’s almost literally only played a thief for the past 3 weeks.

Imagine CnD – Backstab – CnD – Backstab and then Heartseeker, all crits, with Haste active, in less than half a second

Yeah, without it, we would be unquestionably the most OP class for 1v1’s at least.
