Guild Wars 2

Ok so back then, before the updated S/D patch, ‘Zoe L’ a famous Sword Dagger thief was famous back then because she was like the only thief that ran it (S/D was quite hard to play back then), and we haven’t seen anything from her for a while now. On the other hand, there’s this other big name called ‘Jumper X’ who have innovated Sword Dagger build that most S/D thieves these days run, so I’m just wondering….

So… I came into conclusion that, Jumper X is Zoe L in disguise!!!

Wat.

S/D was far more balanced back then IMO. Similar to D/P, used every ability in the kit.
I was actually prepping to use it after the November patch, but turns out they just ended up destroying D/D and annihilating S/D. Not to mention Mug and 4sec reveal nerfs.
The current S/D practically has 2 abilities and the skill floor is set too low.

S/D was played by a lot of people back then, but then came the Dancing Dagger + CnD Nerf – which basicly killed it.

Zoe L was the only person running S/D?
Lol wot. Lots of us ran it until it was nerfed and even for awhile after it was nerfed. I was still seeing S/D run in tourneys after the nerf for a bit before people finally gave up on it. and switched to either burst S/P, D/P or D/D.

You can still see on Guildwars2guru (though I suppose you could find it on here too) many S/D thieves boasting ourselves against the other 3 melee sets back then despite being the most uncommon of the 4 melee.
Current S/D wasn’t really hard to play, You could 5-1 and be relatively successful at lower-mid levels but the skill ceiling was a lot higher.
