Guild Wars 2

So thieves have been suffering quite a bit since the specialization patch, from a pvp perspective, in terms of pve we largely remained the same.

The one thing that has kept us really relivent, was stealth, shadow refuge on our team providing us with a lot of stealth, and allowing for a more tactical opening. I am currently watching the Scrapper POI and the elite skill has just been shown. It’s a better, mobile, version of the only thing that really keeps us on teams, with this we’re left with our mobility, and nothing else…. The DD elite specialization has felt vastly inferior to many other elite specs…

So I am starting to wonder, is this the final nail in the coffin? Will the scrapper take over the only thing we’re bringing to a team?

Not to mention all the new skills coming into the games that are forcing reveal, which negates the only survivability thieves have.

No it’s the first one. It was confirmed live on stream that more is to come engi is just the first wave there are probably 12 more.

Well, one plus side to all of it is people can’t say that thieves can’t be countered cause of stealth anymore. I guess we’ll still get qq until mobility gets nerfed too though.

I wonder weither they are clueless or just do it on purpose. Thief is already most frustrating and unsatisfying profession to play in pvp (go to pvp but don’t you dare to engage fights), the only thing that keeps them in meta is sb5. Why are they making it worse? Is this kind of hate crusade? Are thief players really that bad that they should be punished and have only crappy experience in competitive areas of this game. Is this some kind of massive griefing action? For what? Is someone suffering from god complex and making thief experience miserable because they got backstabbed once?
