Guild Wars 2

I have been trying to get my raid on with my thief, but so far all I’ve gotten is “lol good luck!”, “Just quit now.” and “You are so brave!” when trying to find groups to do VB. On my chrono people seem to trip over themselves trying to get me in their raids. I have groups who pick me first when they are about to go in, but as soon as I say “Can I take my daredevil?” I can hear them cringe over TS and those are the polite ones who do not outright laugh.

Am I naive to think Thieves/DD are not in that bad of a place? Are we really so awful that a well played thief is still worse than a a facerolling scrapper who has 50% of his buttons not working due to all the drool he has deposited into his keyboard?

Can we please get an elite thief/DD to make some videos of them just kicking kitten in the raids so that maybe just maybe we can stop this notion that my favorite class is useless.

[Teef] is working on it.

Pre-HoT: dungeons and fractals as most played inistance pve content: 1: thieves had the highest single target DPS. 2: they bring the utility “stealth” that is handy in tons of fractals and dungeons.

Post HoT: Raids and Fractals are te most played inistance content: 1: thieves are no longer the highest single target DPS. 2: they bring almost no support to the party except for stealth which is completely ussless in raids and fractals ( because who needs stealth in your daily swamp am i right..) and dungeons are dead. (Speedrun groups for it are. And these are the ones that used stealth).

So basicly… thieves have become what necromancers were before HoT: non-superior damage without utility.

the PvE isnt that hard in that game to completely exclude some classes out of it just people are bad and filled with fear and prejudice and you cant do anything about it other than follwing the usual advice: “make your own raid”
