Guild Wars 2

Whats you’re favorite OP skill on Thief?

Practiced Tolerance
Gain vitality based on your precision – Precision converted to Vitality: 7%

… because leikz 10% would be liek way op and its such a useful skill and all to take up a slot vs limited other super ‘op’ traits. extraz 1200hp is swaggin vs all other classez with 1k auto attackz.

Concealed Defeat
Create a Smoke Screen when downed

Omg geez anetz you leik made this skill too hardcore liek. 7 seconds (6 after drop) of positional blind leik totally stops stomp flagz landing on your already mashed facez. too bad for range but like aoe?! like duh and yeah…

Back Fighting
You deal bonus damage while downed – Damage Increase: 50%

This is without a doubt the most obvious skill to nerf. I mean common 50% extra dmg while downed!!! Please anet that just isn’t fair. Like I mean 9/10 fights both my leetz dps pure regen guardian warrior with 1200 range grenades and magic fire spells that shoot ghost clones go down with the thief and they always kill me with such leetz 50% extra dmg! Please fix… k go.

Initial Strike
Attacks with the first weapon-skill slot have a chance to regain initiative.
Trigger chance 7%, Initiative: 1

No, no you… no 7% with 1 initiative point is just OP when 25% chance already from another 50% (give or take) crit chance. Don’t even think about making this 10% on both weapon sets. 1 set is already bad enough! We don’t want to go turning this into Practiced Tolerance. Move it to Grand Master, this is way too good to waste on Master. Nerf to 4% chance and 1/2 point initiative gain please. Maybe give them a 1/4 second evade at 25% chance to balance it.

Peace

This thread is crap and is now about waffles.

What isn’t overpowered about the thief?

Those are traits not skills.

Practiced tolerance and initial strike are actually pretty solid

Twisted Fangs, most OP skill in the game.

Hey. In the tutorial instance it is pretty OP spamming it on the bosses

i agree with that, but in the scheme of things you have to admit, they could use a little tweaking.

yes you are correct, my mistake there, but on a grand scale and if this was a traditional rpg they would be considered skills. pity its not :P

Thieves have no OP skills or traits.

One single trait is what I find most broken, and that’s bewildering ambush.

Concealed Defeat

don’t touch this trait I love it. Makes so easy to dps a stealthed thief that just got downed.

I don get why this trait is even a freaking thing and it makes me mad. I’ve never used it but fought a thief who did use it. It literally says “hey so you downed me and I’m right here so keep swinging”
ITS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF CONCEALED

Ice drake venom, improvisation, hard to catch, last refuge, ambush trap, p/p, etc. Oh I mean, yeah really what isn’t thief good at?

I forgot to include this one.

Merciful Ambush
Stealth yourself and your target when reviving an ally – Stealth: 2s, 10s cooldown

OPLEETSAUCEMUCH! anetz? I mean common. You down someone and go for stompz and ze teef has soooo much timez to rez their teamz. This soundz like a Shadow Arts skill, but you put it in Trixiez. Omg! I guess getting 3s of stealth would be leik even more OP yes?
