its so sad there is a nerf wish list 4 the thief . u need a wish list telling u how to use your build against a thief lol thief’s r easy to kill if u do it right . the only class u should have trouble killing a thief with is like an element unless they r running a d/d regen element than the thief will have some trouble

You do realize this is just a joke thread, riiight?

(And please, use proper grammar and punctuation…I had to read your post 3-4 times to understand the gist of it.)

Not a joke, this is serious business. We can’t let a single game update without a Thief nerf…that would be an abomination!

This ^
Seriously, think about it… I think you WANT these changes…

What: Sanduskel’s Thief
Why: Too stronk

Excalibur.9748:

What: Sanduskel’s Thief
Why: Too stronk

Oh no, what have you done, you have summoned “he who should not be named”. He’ll be here in a few minutes telling you how decent thieves don’t use permastealth at least 50 times in the same thread now.

Also:
what: the thief class
why: because the fact this class still exists it’s quite OP

You cannot “summon” something that would -most likely- appear of its own volition.
Eh, I suppose I can’t give the guy too much crap, considering I run my own Thief stealthless. /shrug

what: Stomps
why: People must feel bad when they get stomped by a thief. Therefore, thieves should not be allowed to stomp. We should force them to desperately auto attack their opponent – no wait, people who get downed by thieves should have instant rally. Or even better, once the person rallies, the thief gets downed instead so they can be stomped.

Excalibur.9748:

What: Sanduskel’s Thief
Why: Too stronk

What: The number of thieves that can be made on an account
Why: They make each other exponentially more powerful

What: nothing
Why: Thieves already got hit a thousand times by the nerd bat and are just starting to get buffed to being balanced.

This thread is a joke, you really expect people to WANT thief nerds unless they unskillfully play another profession? Let me reinforce the idea that if you complain about thieves, you are an UNSKILLFUL player of a different class because any good player can go toe to toe with a thief and it comes down to how well you play, not the profession.

What: heartseeker spam
Why: because dodging and using defensive skills for non-thieves is just too much work.

Running a 4 signet thief whose only source of stealth is Cloak and Dagger with no initiative regen or stealth traits. Still getting accused of permastealth :P

What: Cloak and Dagger
Why: Yski OP. Long range initiative free permastealth! Oh wait..

What: Ability to gain xp via any means.
Why: A level 1 thief clearly has the same, if not greater powers than a level 80 of any other completely geared class.

what#1: shortbow
why#1: insane damage, miles ahead of warrior bow/rifle damage. Plus the cluster bomb needs a shorter range; is so high that i can defend the the garrison from my war camp :ae:

what#2: stability
why#2: we have too many boons and stability perma up, need a nerf or a buff on other classes :ae:

What: Traps.
Why: They weren’t really hit by the nerf bat yet.

What: Weapon skills
Why: Bcs not all of them got nerfed yet!

What: low initiative cost
Why: Bcs they should only use 1 skill every 15 sec or its O to the P.

What: Crits
Why: Thiefs shouldnt be able to crit, that is something for warriors, guardians and mesmers who have such low base dmg.

What: acces to looking for group tool
Why: Theifs are so OP that they make other party members feel useless in a dungeon

What: Venoms
Why: That stuff 1shots any class with full cleric gear

Prince.7198:

What: Crits
Why: Thiefs shouldnt be able to crit, that is something for warriors, guardians and mesmers who have such low base dmg.

ironically they already implemented it
you can’t do lv 44 fractal with any half decent thief build outside of condi and obviously people would rather take necro for that

34 Fleeting Precision Your critical chance is reduced
44 Overextended Take damage when you deal critical damage

i am still waiting for instability that makes you take extra dmg if you have high toughness or HP, but nope, let’s male a level that is specifically there to screw thieves

oh thieves survival is based on dodge? let’s fix it
42 Lethargic Reduced endurance regeneration
49 Stamina Outgoing damage is reduced when endurance is low

GG anet

What: Heartseeker damage bonus
Why: The bonus should not be compounded with other bonuses like Executioner, Flanking Strike (trait) and Vulnerability. It should be harder to finish off someone desperately fighting for their lives. Besides, blood-soaked daggers becomes dull over time so the heartseeker bonus doesn’t make any sense.

What: Black Powder
Why: it’s perma blind cuz I don’t wanna step out of the field with my warrior, and thieves keep putting down another field like every other second.

What: Skelk Venom
Why: It’s so bad, it’s good.

Arganthium.5638:

hahahahaha yeah . . .

What: Black Powder
Why: Pollute Tyria

What: Sword Auto
Why: BECUZ SWORD OHPEE

Zacchary.6183:

What: Sword Auto
Why: BECUZ SWORD OHPEE

OH MY GAWD!!! that’s too OP. Not just the Sword Auto but that sword as well — no Thief should be allowed to use any sword at all, especially that one.

What: Baslisk Venom
Why: It’s useable underwater.

What: Steal
Why: it’s cybercrime.

What: Pistol Range
Why: Because 900 range is much to far to have to close while being shredded by unload spam.

What: Thieves’ guild.
Why: It’s bad enough to fight against one thief. Why force a fight with three?

Sir Vincent III.1286:

Don’t worry, Anet is taking care of the issue of thieves using swords on the 10th.

What: Their abillity to post on the forums
Why: Meh actually it doesn’t matter much. Anet doesn’t listen/care abt em anyways

Whenever a thief tries to search the forums, anet should redirect them to a rickroll. We want them to feel loved, but mainly unheard. Cuz if thief wasn’t nerfed every patch, I’d rage on the forums about how op they are, and then they’d be mean to me :’(

What:
Caltrops (again)

Why:
It still does TWO conditions! a LOT! When the thief is GONE!

Someone’s catching on here…

What: Vigor Access

Pretty sure that’s who they’re balancing us around…

They need to nerf our Armor from being so Trenchy. Trenchcoats are OP and restrict movement.

first of all read this thief description from gw2 wiki : Thieves are expert in the shadow arts. They utilize stealth and shadowsteps to surprise and to get close to their target. They’re deadly in one-on-one combat using their agility, acrobatic fighting style, and the ability to steal to overcome their enemies. They have an affinity for setting traps and using venom. As an adventurer profession, thieves wear medium armor. 2. people complain about thief doing 10 to 16k crits so what we get killed in 2 hits by almost anyone besides some war hit for 10 to 20k crits 3. its not only the class that makes the difference but also the one playing , plz stop complaining about thieves saying they are to op , stealth is to op , op here op there op this op that , guys cmon just stop hating cuz you get killed by thieves , i mean we still get beaten and that is because the other guy is just better than us , learn to play before hating on thieves AND sorry for my english im french

Prince.7198:

lool worst reply ever , crit is part of all games and all classes in any games its like saying warrior should not have high hp bcuz they have alot of armor that should be for thieves bcuz they have a low hp and armor rate ..

What: Thieves are expert in the shadow arts.
Why: It’s unfair that they’re experts and other classes are not.

What: Utilize stealth/shadowsteps to surprise and to get close to their target.
Why: It’s unfair that they can use stealth and shadowsteps while other classes can’t.

What: Agility, acrobatic fighting style, and the ability to steal to overcome their enemies.
Why: Other classes aren’t as nimble as thieves.

What: traps and venom.
Why: Why do they get to use traps and venoms and we don’t?

the other classes have their advantages to and disadvantage to just like thieves it would be boring if everyone could do the same thing . look im thief and i know lots of thieves and yes we are good but there are other people who are just better than us and they are not all thieves , truth is it all depends on the person playing not the classes , saying thief is to op is just an excuse because you dont want to admit that some people are better than you are , im not saying your bad , but stop trying to destroy thieves , thieves/assassin/rogue not matter what game you play these classes were meant to excel in pvp even in real life they are meant to be good fighters

What – thief height
why – they should be able to be smaller then asura

aLovedhater.4096:

What – thief height
why – they should be able to be smaller then asura

That would make them hard to see/click/target, so that would be OP. What you meant to say is:

What: thief height
Why: they should be able to be larger than norn

(Easier to see and target, bigger hit box for AoE’s to hit… larger target to attack)

you’re right.. i was stupid to think that otherwise.

What: Healing
Why: Thieves shouldn’t be able to heal cause blue aura while healing doesn’t suit my armor

What: Tier 3 Human Cultural Armor
Why: Thieves synergize with this armor more than any other, this is OP and should totally be nerfed immediately.

Alice.8694:

I would say you copied me, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you just agree with me

What: Human Cultural Tier 3 Armor
Why: Basically every thief wears it, and every thief does 30k dmg backstabs and sword slices as well as stealths and teleports, COINCIDENCE?!

I’m finally able to take some time to carefully examine thief class conditions, including the suggested nerfs in this thread.

So lately, I’ve resided in requesting thief overall class re-design, instead of nerfs.

Why so?

As i had already posted, nerfing thief class will not fix ‘break’ this class, not a bit because of 2 reasons; stealth and invincibility.

You can not separate them at all, and unfortunately, this is what i believe Arena.net is trying to do; and it will not work.. ever!

It’s like trying to separate your brain from your head and say that you’re alive".

Seriously,

who can live without a brain?

My wishlist for thief class, is to redesign the class from the ground up.

As the saying goes, “if you can not make something new, replace it with a new on”

(We are extremely, severely, miserably tired and frustrated of the broken, out-of-control, total-wreck thief; it is time to bring out the new, well-loved, humble, caring thief).

They also encourage misbehavior of various sorts!
