Guild Wars 2

Can we please have our stealth attacks back. I used backstab a lot when running d/d power back in season 1 when thieves were in a bad place with warrior and still managed to succeed with it, but after the 1s cd nerf I just can’t play it. I don’t mind if its damage is reduced a bit, but I need to be able to land the skill to justify the initiative, positioning, and utility used just to have access to the skill. This also makes s/d a lot weaker since tactical strike gave the weapon set a moment to breath and execute the auto attack dealing a good amount of damage. I don’t think reducing the initiative of CnD is necessary, but having it down to 5 initiative would definitely be appreciated with all the blocks, evades, blinds, and invulns in the game.

Anet never reverts their nerfs. They might tweak stealth attacks in 2-3 years (in case game is still alive) but reverting the change would be admitting that they made a mistake. No gaming company ever does it, gotta keep image and all.
Common sense was thrown out of the window long time ago so don’t even bother reason with them.
