Magic Toker on Revenant, Caed on Ranger… I have no doubt Sindrener will follow with something viable pretty soon. Surely if those WTS-level all-time-thieves reroll, I can see worse thieves joining the bandwagon.

Which means any thief/daredevil remotely interested in competitive PvP taking their luggage and moving to another class that actually doesn’t give you diarrhea to be effective.

So what is it?

*Disclaimer: I’m actually quite sad being this negative about the class. Nobody wants their favorite class which they’ve invested in for 3 years, ruined for the game mode they actually cared. A big hug to all thieves who feel the same.

If it makes you feel any better, warriors have it bad. I would take Daredevil over Berserker any day. But I feel your pain. I used to main a thief before I switch to warrior. So having seen both of my beloved professions not doing too well in pvp, makes me want to reroll too. Seems like players are migrating to Revenant although I hear Scrapper is the new dd ele. Anyways, just want to let you thieves know you’re not alone in your misery.

I’m staying the course. In PvP, Thief is more of an art than the streamlined bludgeoning of practicality, and that’s why I’ll probably always prefer this class. I’m just going to have to get used to avoiding Dragon Hunters, looking out for Revenants almost like I would a Thief, and forcing more blocks and invulns than ever before.

Revenant. Thief will always be my main, but revenant for pvp.

I rerolled from engie to Thief. I also played a mesmer in preperation for expansion, but didn’t want to hunt hero points on my mesmer, so I went in to the jungle as a Thief.

Having fun so far.

Mostly PvP on necro still waiting for CiS to go back to master tier when it happens I’ll ignore the rest of the nerfs and join the struggle.

Honestly, I’ve quit gw2 for the moment because of thief hate and neglect by developers.

Been playing season 4 in d3 with some buddies. Pve > getting wrecked in gw2 on thief…

I’d prob be playing revnant or mesmer tho if I was playing.

Just another noob thief…

I’ve always used both Thief and Engi over my PvP career. I guess I’m just gonna play a bit more engi until they change something. Not giving up Thief completely, I’ll enjoy the struggle from time to time.

I barely pvp anymore. Just farming pve masteries/doing LS. Thief is simply dead in pvp. I have no words to express how much disappointed i am with developers and how they ruined this class, how they ignored months of feedback and suggestions.

The worst part you can’t even express your disatisfaction/frustration with thief class as mods just send you into vacation right away. As thief player you can’t do anything to stop devs from deleting this class from game (based on their action, it seems to be their goal).
Only choice is to quit game and move to something new. So stupid, as GW2 itself is actually great game, i really love it, i completely it WOW for this game, but i don’t see myself playing anything else but thief, it is just no fun but apprently it is too hard to comprehent for some marketing people.

Facerolled on revenant a bit in pvp. Just made me sad :/

Yeeeep, I wasn’t giving up on dd and thief up until last moment but yday something hit me. Daredevil is attempt to bring back 2014 meta into late 2015. 1.5 years have passed give it up…

So yea herald/shiro looks like love child of thief and guardian which is great, luv it. Scrapper is new dd ele on tren/test. But I think I will just give up and roll mesmer since its developers favorite child with op mechanics. Is there something chrono can’t do? Op in pvp time split mechanic, unique buff (alacrity), shield for massive blocks because ports invulnerabilitys blinds dazes clones/phantasm for massive damage while farting around double shatter, quadruple with time split, massive stealth uptime, ridiculous condi damage/preasure and ability to 100 to 0 someone from stealth in second.

Some might think I’m salty but I’m really not I just found something beautiful to abuse the kak out of.
Enjoy extra dodge.

I rerolled daredevil. I’m doing fine, though life could be easier. For someone min-mxing with a specific team comp i would consider other classes, but for the solo player bashing heads with people thief daredevil is still fine by me.

Are you using Daredevil or do you plan on sticking with the general D/P build out of curiosity?

EDIT: after simply checking out Twitch I should say, do you prefer DD?

I use Daredevil, and I prefer it. It’s a good traitline.

I’m using Staff Daredevil in PvP (with soldier amulet and the daredevil rune) and I enjoy it very much.

The 2 3 4 slot skills feel like they would need some improvement however and the elite skill would be better if it started right away with the second stage as I find myself prevented from using it effectively far too often by either the downed state abilities themselves or other players.

By the looks of it however.. people will complain a lot about vault which is pretty much one of the main things that makes it viable, at least for me. If that skill will get nerfed… and the others don’t change for the better… I fear it won’t be viable anymore.

I’m also using staff thief and it’s refreshing. With dashes thief’s mobile like never before. As ppl say rev is new thief – it’s not, he lacks mobility. Few more balance patches and it’ll become more then viable. Imparing daggers + vault, weakening charge+steal are deadly combos. Impact strike is quite hard to land but used in right time works wonders. Also Cleave of vault is great. New heal with trait is better then withdraw (surprisingly) when you use dash as dodge. My main concern for now is that in game is too much dmg.

I’m doing fine on thief, S/D has gotten an great buff with all damage on dodge and evade rewards. For D/P Rune of the Daredevil allows me to get 8k backstabs of with a valkyrie amulet making me so much more sustainable. So overall the class is still strong, just got to get to know all the new professions so you can counter them. (Dragonhunter = pull out the shortbow, cuz them traps eat you raw)

the problem now as i see for thief is they cant handle the pressure in pvp from melee cause all the traps , aoe, chill, etc.. guards, necro, ranger, mesmer have

which is why i have more easy time with p/p but than again why not to role other class and contribute better…

Yes, the traps eat you but except traps they can have longbow with 1200 range with nuclear missles for “2” with 4s cd so if you are going to use that shortbow, use it for running.
