Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

I’ve found that Engineer have a great site/blog to get great guide and tips for their class in any game style. It’s The Engineer Handbook (http://www.sheriffsauer.com) i was wondering if there is an equivalent for our great class ? (even if we get nerved at every patch..) I still love that class

Cheers !!

Sindrener has a twitch stream for sPvP. That’s about it.

Most thieves worth anything gave up on the profession/game long ago.

It hurt to read your answer

Most thieves worth anything were forced to reroll by their teams long ago.

The ones who stayed, yea.

Forced to reroll, or forced to listen to the constant trolling. Thieves are the scapegoat for any mishaps your team may have. Home lost? Thief’s fault. Mid fight lost? Thief’s fault. Far not decaped even when a DH is sitting on it? Thief’s fault. Team member afk’s due to thief hatred. Thief’s fault.

Fact is, as thief you have to put tons more effort into performing well for your team and no matter how well you do you’ll be flamed on constantly for things outside your control. Even when you make a justifiably small error on your part it’ll be blown way out of proportion and the world will end.

Thief tells everyone that it’s going Far before the game starts, then wins a 1v1 and takes Far, everybody else went Mid and got wiped, and no one took Home to start? Thief’s fault ;-)

I find that thief forums are a good source of information. Most players who know how to play a particular build are always willing to share advice on how to play it. A few thieves are multi-thieves who run many different builds—including those outside the meta.

I know that Sauer ran his HoT build for a while before posting it. Once he did it was picked up and became “meta” for some players. Often I think the new “meta” is determined by enterprising players who play a non-meta build until finally other people notice that it is effective (if you know how to play it of course).

My biggest advice for new thief players—re-keybind your utilities and steal. Then build up muscle memory using those skills on the keys. So much improvement in how thief plays—as a twitch/fluid/evasive combatant—can be realized that way.

I still look around for other sites but this forum usually has something to learn from other players who know what they’re doing posted every day. I don’t get a lot of playtime so I check these forums daily to keep up with stuff.

True, and you’ll rebind them quite a bit and it’s handy to use [shift] combos to slim down the number of keys so you can bring the ones you use most closer together in your best layout. It has to be a comfortable layout without a lot of lift off since you’re playing with Initiative and not cycling rotations. I like to gangster lean my lower palm on ctrl for my elite skill for one less finger bounce.
