thief is to op is just an excuse because you dont want to admit that some people are better than you are
Why: No player better than me should be allowed to play the Thief. The profession is already OP and in the hands of those better than me will only generate a lot of QQs. Save the game — ban players better than me from playing Thieves.

Full set of 5 unique skills for both dual-wield weapon sets: P/P and D/D – Make it happen
PvE – DD/CS/AC – If that didn’t work, roll a Reaper or Revenant.
Sometimes I think I’ve met a lot of people that can do that. It’s really impressive and I don’t know how they do it but they do.
Just because they have a brain doesn’t necessarily means they know how to use them.

What: Cloak n’ dagger Why: It can give you almost perma stealth if you connect all of them. This is CLEARLY way too op.
Solution: Make CND give 3s torment on top of the vulnerability it already gives and remove the stealth.
As compensation for this nerf, move “hard to catch” from master tier to adept tier. This will make thief sooo much harder to kill so it is not only a big deal, it’s a MASSSIIIIVE buff.
We’ve never seen buff that is “MASSSIIIIVE” before. This is the first.

What: My kneecaps and pc
Why: An Anet employee should come and nerf my kneecaps and pc with nerfbat because i DARED to roll such an OP class!! I am deeply sorry for doing so and i shall promptly proceed to uninstall GW 2 from my pc and perform a ritualaised harakiri, for i have shamed myself deeply.
I got more!
What: Thief healing
Why: Too op, every time thief player press Q to heal, the player should spontaneously combust!! Because Thief healing is just WRONG in cosmic level!
One more for the road!
What: Thief movement
Why: Thief is too hard to catch, other players may get too frusthrated. Thief should only be a torso, flopping on the ground. This way other players can easily kill even an experienced thief!! IF the torsothief can, however, land some damage to attacking player, or even if he/she bleeds on the attacking player, thieves account should be automaticly permabanned. Oh, and the torsothief players PC should violently explode at that point. Preventing the player from living and thusly preventing him from buying another copy of GW 2 and rolling another op thief.
what: Now im going to shut up and proceed with the harakiri.
why: because thief op!
What: Practiced Tolerance Why: 7% is OP! Bring it back to 5%, or even 2%. A Glass Cannon is not a Glass Cannon if they don’t break like glass.

What: Thief Skill Twisting Fangs Why: True Story: I recently encountered a thief in wvw. I saw that he was d/d and prepared my stunlocks, stabilities, and aoe. Suddenly, he unequipped one dagger, and proceeded to spam Twisting Fangs (1 dagger equipped; skill3). Not only was the range horrendously OP (130), but the spinning animation brought tears to my eyes! I wept as I died from this OP skill. Please, remove the range, or the spinning animation, or make thieves use TWO daggers, not ONE.
“Shadow Arts V—Infusion of Shadow: Increased the amount of initiative gained to 2, but only when entering stealth.”
What: Shadow Arts V Trait, Infusion of Shadow.
Why: Obviously increasing the initiative gain to 2 makes it way too OP compared to the pre Dec. 10 patch Infusion of Shadow which only gave a 2 initiative gain. This new 2 initiative gain that they gave us is way too powerful compared to the old 2 initiative gain and needs to be nerfed immediately.
What: Being able to see while stealthed. Why: Stealth is invisibility, which means the thief’s retinas should not be able to absorb light whilst stealthed. Therefore, thieves should be presented with a blank screen while stealth is active. Mesmers use magic blindfolds and Rangers can, I don’t know, probably smell the landscape really well or something and thus should not be impacted by this change.
What – Stealth Why – Because even though I can’t see the thief I can still damage/cc/down it, this makes me feel dishonorable so thieves shouldn’t stealth
What – All the thieves Why – Because the devs play all the other classes.. it’s not fair that Thieves get balanced based on no playtesting by the dev team when I do.
What: Thief in it’s entirety. Why: Since we’re free loot bags, this is a merge of all the requests, Not only should the class name change to “Free Loot Bag” and take away our limbs so we can’t run or do anything, instead a total remake should be made (I agree with Burnfall! He’s totally right when he said it.). Our character creation screen should show a 8 slotted bag that we can then customize (pick out ribbons and colors…), and as we level-up/gear-up as bags we progress into a 10 slotted loot bag then into a 15 and so on. Or we start off as “Tiny Loot Bag” and progress into a “Small Loot Bag” and so on.
What: Thief gathering Why: With signet of shadows, heartseeker, stealth, and all their teleports, they can clear a map of all gather nodes in about 20 min. This is way OP, it’s gotten to the point that no other class can hope to gather as quickly as them. This is making most (cheers to the very few non-permagather thieves out there) thieves very rich, while every other class gets to sit in Lion’s Arch with 0 gold wishing they had rolled these incredibly OP gatherers. Ever since ascended weapons came out all the mid-level nodes have become pricy making these OP gatherers even richer. A nerf is needed more now than ever before, or else you are going to have 90% of your playerbase leave because you could not fix a terribly designed and OP gathering class.
What: “placed” AoE (i.e. Caltrops, Choking gas) Why: Everything Thieves do must apply Revealed debuff, even if they fart in a crowded bus.

What: Thief’s stealth Why: I cannot see where he is but clones & pets can still attack him. Why could they do better than me ? My channeling skills also track him, but I want to be able to fully attack him while stealthed without wasting my precious AOE CDs.
What: Thief’s skills that benefit from position (back) Why: They dish out too much damage and they are mono-target skills.
According to the meta, high-damage skills should be restricted to AOE with at least 180° radius and with no positioning required, for obvious high facerolling skill purpose.

What I mean by L2P
What: Trap
Why: Because one thief ruined my flower pot puting a spike trap in it (my poor roses Q_Q)
What: Thieve guild
Why: Thief should do a quest to aquire membership in a thieve guild before behing able to spam that skill
What: Pistol
WhyL: arent pistols at this time supose to be able to do maximum 6 shot before needing to reload there should be cooldown after hiting 6 time
What: Short Bow
Why: how can their arrow actualy bounce perfectly between target this skill needs ground targeting o_O
What: Cluster bomb
Why: just how can he detonate the bomb at distance with does he has some time of ’’bomb’’ button somewhere on a remote pannel?
What: pistol stun
Why: stop making me dizzy _
What: ambush
Why: Just where did that guy come from?
What: Your mother

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).
thief 2.0
I agree. Thieves are completely broken and need a serious revamp.
[/sanduskel response]
BUT in WvW thoses perma thief are just totaly OP
So what i would like to see its, on somes skills of all others class, something that can :
Stop the stealth if the skill hit a thief in stealth
Or / and
Prevent them to be able to stealth for 2-4sec
Actualy, ( no speaking of the anti-steath trap or the siege weapon anti stealth ) its the ONLY thing that dont have ANY single counter
Conditions have anti condition, boons have boons remove, damage have block.. etc
But stealth…. nothing !
I agree that thoses skills might be a problem for the mesmer, since the mesmer stealth is far away to be as OP as the thief stealth.
So yeah its should be somes anti-stealth nearly only against thief.
Or just prevent the thief of beeing able to perma stealth. because actualy they are really way to lame with that “ability”

E Tan, you’re absolutely correct.
This also proves that Arena.net Intentionally allowed this to happen.
Example; would you forgive someone who mistakenly hurt you? or someone who Intentionally hurt you?
