Guild Wars 2

I play as a thief and I have been killed in around 3 seconds by a mesmer, I never even thought about nerfing them. If people cried less and played more you may find your own ways of dealing with other classes. A thief is pretty bad as far as group fights go but excels in 1 v 1s.

TBH I find the hole combat mechanics and alt tab targeting game play kitten boring, so I don’t play my thief or any other alt any more so feel free to nerf the thief as much as you like.

It would be nice if the devs changed the game’s core mechanics to actually make it fun and requiring skill. Maybe then, I would actually log back into GW2 to play, but for now I find reading the forums more fun than gameplay.

So 1st why u all want for thief to get nerfed .. so it can take the position of ranger atm.. thief doesnt evolve to strong in PvE if not played well so nerfed it will get only to his doom .. and cloth classes whats the problem ? u get 1 shoot thats awsome .. if someone played Aion assasin i hope u get it cloth classes if not played well gets 1 shoot boom dead … if u also get 1 shoot u are not playing ur class correctly so dont cry here for things that are meant to be this way. I also wanna say that i just started a thief only lvl 6 so u wont comment that im a fan bla bla and cr*p like this like 80 % of u does when they feel attacked .. Have a nice day all have fun and stop complaining

I had issues with Thieves in WvWvW before and I was really pissed at how fast they can kill me. What I did? I created a Thief and played it till I get all of the skills and discovered their playstyle. Now, I play without fear of seeing a Thief in WvWvW. By the way, thief is a fun class to play. You guys should try it.

Army:
People getting 1 shotted doesn’t happen. Realistically it is 3-5 shotted within 3-5 seconds that people find issue with. In WvWvW you cannot compare class strength. Balancing will be done in organized PvP. If you are level 60 you will have a strong disadvantage to a level 80 that is geared regardless of profession.

yes in organized pvp … but if u were a lvl 60 and fight against an lvl 80 .. its proper that u die faster difference of items, lvl etc mostly of the people that are complaining im pretty sure that they dont have a tanky gear , theyre full glass canon , they are under lvl 80 , they dont know how to play their classes the possibilities are so many … the point its that anyone complaining has 1 of this issues … none its perfect i get it but i dont think thieves are god like or OP … there are good thieves and lame thieves and so on … Cheers

… the self proclaimed champions of E-sports who will tell you “they have no problem with thieves”. These are probably all also thieves in disguise though.

Ah, and everyone complaining is just a troll posing as a noob?

I have a little bit of hope that ANet has their own objective ways to determine actual balance, rather then just counting the trolls and believing they´re genuine . I´ve paid the same as everyone, so I should be able to play as everyone and if ever I see “No thief” for an explorable, and this forum is an indication it is headed that way, it will be the last money ANet´s seen from me.

You can counter thieves and i personally win very good portion of 1v1’s against them but that doesn’t mean the class is balanced. Even the most newbie thief seems to be a killing machine unless you’re on your toes every second. Wait until you run into 5 thieves in spvp. :/

You do realise you’re not paying a subscription don’t you…..

Yes true, but even with same lvl and same skill thieves turn out killing in very few seconds. I’m not saying its Op, because my warrior could kill a thief with dual axes in 10 seconds, but i think stealth is exaggerated. They should do the same they did with The guardian skill “save Yourselves”. Allow it to stay thew same in PvE but in sPvP or WvWvW, it should be brought down. This allows it to be even, even with high damage, you can actually get to see them, than actually being downed by them in stealth, then being finished off still in stealth, then they run away , and after 30 seconds stealth comes off. No, stealth should have a pattern, flickers off every 5 seconds for 2 seconds, and then continues. To allow players to target, or atleast be prepared for the incoming damage
