Guild Wars 2

I just made a complaint thread with some similiar complaints, the thing is ive been practicing and evolving my thief up until the june 7 patch and then after, I thought id try some more builds practice against people in conquest and 1v1 arenas, and i think our damage is gone, people will say “what! ive bursted people down easy with my thief”, well ya becuase you fought the glassiest person around, but the thing is for awhile people who are not glass cannon are like unmovable rocks, since patch and even before patch!!! everytime i go to burst someone my steal does average 1k which is fine but then the hs in my combo does 800 or mabye a little more and then when i sit there trying to dodge around and autoattack its doing between 200-400 and thier health is just shaving off bit by bit, ill try backstabs which normally do 6-7k on glasscannon will do 3-5k on the average non glasscannon player, And then the funny part. They heal right up after i drained initiative and thencthey spam dat aoe bursts damage which most of it i can dodge but they wont stop laying down the damage until im dead, Basic Example, i teleport in behind for my burst which does nearly nothing, then they turn around and im like 0-0 sry i hit you, then they stomp me, I use all my evades and stealth skills,then like a kitten run around with my autoattack.

Im not Even Lying about that damage, i have recorded videos of that damage, although the auto attacks did more like 400-1500 that still wasnt enough to bring anyone down, anyone have videos to show me otherwise, and you actually have to be fighting someone who isnt full glasscannon.

What is your build? I am currently running this build, and it seems to perform pretty well.

Like i said, ive tried pretty much everything including your build, nothing hits hard enough, makes me feel like im hitting with plastic weapons.

Sir or madam, there are viable thief builds. Sure they don’t stack up against other professions right now but in the right hands they are still lethal.

Our viable build diversity on the other hand….

Last night, we played a Thief in sPVP, who was dropping 12k bombs on us. You’re damage is alive and well, like ninjaEd says you just might have to use one build to get there

have you tried mine?

This is what I’ve been using. Crippling and larcenous strike can hit upwards of 5k. You need to actively use signet of agility for dodges and condi clears, but it hits pretty hard.
