Guild Wars 2

So the thief…
It was supposed to be the 1v1 lethal killer. People cried and whined OP, and so it’s damage was nerfed. Then it became a stealth assassin, and people cried and whined OP, and so Reveal was added to all the classes. Then it became a slippery and dodgy assassin, and people cried and whined OP, and so Sword/Dagger boon-rip as well as Feline Grace were nerfed.

Now we have DareDevil which hampers our stealth abilities even farther, does OK damage, but nowhere near top, and our entire elite spec centers around an ability that used to be a master tier trait.

Our damage is lackluster, we have basically zero support, stealth is basically useless with all the reveal being given out like candy, and now today…stealth nerfed…our steal now needs a target. No more swiftness/boons from a non-targeted steal.

Every. single. class. mechanic. we. had. has. been. nerfed. into. oblivion.

No one wants us for raids, roaming in WvW has now been made even worse, fractals? Ha! There is absolutely zero reason to take a thief for anything.

I loved my thief. I really did. But this is the straw the broke the camel’s back. Nerf after nerf after nerf. I don’t even know which class to play anymore. I feel like the red-headed step-child because I actually dislike the rev, but it seems like that’s the new top-tier, good-for-everything meta. No one wants anything else. My other favorite classes? All trumped by the Rev.

ANet, can you please, PLEASE, give us thieves SOMETHING to work with here? All you seem to do is hand out nerfs to our core class mechanics, and it’s getting old.

No

Hurt us more.

THIS IS OUR META NOW.

GIVE ME PAIN! SO GOOD! DEVS NERF US!

And now i tell u now an before(not saying u r wrong, but to spare ur breath).

I played GW2 from start and quited a long time ago and now came back for hot. I played thief than and i do now. And like now thief forum is filled with 44% “thief is op”, 44% “thief us the worst class” and 1% of other stuff, forums were back then. Just shows u, how much they listen to the community.

50 shades of thief.

By Karl and the Forums

they should add this buff to steal: using steal without a target should knock the thief down for 10 seconds and put all skills on 60 sec CD.

Sorry, whoever is managing the thief class has no clue what he is doing.

So this is it, all that wait for the balance patch. I lost hope, they have more things to worry about.

Good read, would read again. But I know the sequels are still in the making.
