I am a well known guild wars 2 pvper and spvper that mains an asuran warrior. In recent times I have tried my best to fight thieves, however your class has become more and more overpowered over time and currently it’s in a state where even an average thief can take me down.

This never used to happen btw… But with the recent buffs and changes it has become extremely noticeable.

I have come to propse some changes my clan has been mulling over and to get some feedback from the thief forum.

Proposed changes to the class:

1) Increase reveal uptime to 6 seconds.

This will largely reduce the ammount of invis spamming happening. Currently 3 seconds in game ticks is nothing and you can easily dodge and cloak and dagger you opponent as if no time has passed.

By making it 6 seconds, we wont make invisibility unreliable but rather a more tactical skill than a spammable one.

2) Nerf backstab damage by 25%

Currently in world vs world, a thief on food with might stacks can easily crit up to 14- 16k on a target with high toughness. By reducing this by 25% we drop it into the 10- 12k range.

Quite a reasonable nerf that still allows the class to quickly burst down most light armoured enemies.

3) Greatly decrease vigor and swiftness uptime.

Thieves have access to what is easily the highest swiftness up time. You’d also be lucky to find a thief that isn’t running acro + trickery for 100% vigor up time.

By reducing the vigor on heal to 4 seconds and bountiful thefts vigour to 6 seconds.
This would mean you still have 50% vigor up time.

Swiftness would also be reduced to that you only gain swiftness on every dodge roll when you have 30 in acro.

4) Reduce condition cleansing ability

Thieves easily have the highest and fastest condition cleansing speed.
With Condition cleanse happening every time you heal as well as every time you become invisible – its hard for us to stack condis on you.

Change this so that you only cleanse 1 condition on heal and 1 when entering invisibility.

To counter these changes i propose these buffs.

1) Increase the ammount of toughness the stealth arts trait line gives thieves.

2) Increase the damage per shot from pistol pistol third skill – also make this skill slow enemies movement speed.

Thoughts?

Cliffs:

- Increase reveal uptime to 6 seconds.
- Decrease backstab damage by 25%
- Greatly decrease vigor up time and swiftness uptime (50%)
- Reduce condition cleansing ability of class (1 condition for stealth and 1 heal instead of 3)

Buffs

- Increase toughness aquired from stealth arts
- Increase damage from pistol 3 skill and slow movement speed of enemy

1. Bad, because this class is heavily bound on stealth. without it, the thief is a sitting duck.

2. Cmon ?

3.Yeah nerf it! but then pls also nerv warriors god kitten Bullcharge and so….and this class is suposed to be athletic in combat.we dont have a godmode like warrior or aegis who negate 50 % incoming dmg or a shield and so on.

How does thief have fastest condition cleansing speed? Then ele must be god speed. If reveal is increased to 6 seconds, then thief will not be thief anymore since they are visible 80% of the time. You are just pushing thief to be played like a heavy class just because you cant beat them? I seen warriors, especially hambow and condis ones eat thieves alive.

There are some solo builds and wvw builds that are really powerful, I agree, although every class has cheese builds, and that’s probably what your complaining about.

however your suggestions would destroy the spvp scene for thieves. We have a niche role of high mobility decap and finishing off players(especially d/p), but your changes would completely destroy thieves and there would be no reason to bring one to a team with those changes.

yeah I doubt your a well known pvper. you write:

“This will largely reduce the ammount of invis spamming happening. Currently 3 seconds in game ticks is nothing and you can easily dodge and cloak and dagger you opponent as if no time has passed.”

if your losing to a theif that is spamming cloak and dagger, you need to work on your own game play and figure out how to beat a theif, cause any theif spamming cloak and dagger is terrible.

also warriors have the most condition cleans.

It’s idiots like you who don’t put effort in learning how to game better. You really think landing CnD is such an easy thing to pull off? It cost around 6 initiative that’s almost half our initiative spent if we don’t place 3 points in trickery. FYI warriors have the mobility,toughness and the highest amount of CC if you run hammer and you tell me that thieves are OP? Not to mention that backstab is one of our only hard hitting burst skill. You guys have freaking eviscerate and hundred blades( land those two correctly and you can almost kill the thief in an instant). Blocks are also as good as evades. One last thing, did you know that rangers have the skill called sick em which does a 6 second reveal? it wrecks any stealth thief if they run a power build. Peow Peow just stop kittening around because I never go any other classes’s forums and build hate if they have any new OP cheese build. SICK OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU

3.) vigor can be destroyed or stolen. ask any mesmer, necro, thief, or anyone willing to use sigil of nullification. nerfing vigor uptime on a build that loses a lot of offensive strength for the sake of sustainability is uncalled for.

your “buffs” are absolutely abysmal, and are nothing more than shallow attempts to justify incredibly heavy-handed nerfs that have no basis in reason at all.

Thieves - strongest 1vs1 class atm. Always was. And will always be. Mostly, because of non-cooldown mechanics and high resource regen
Let’s all another classes will have the same stuff: some resource pool and no cooldowns and we will see.
Or just thieves will got their cooldowns.

Conditions cure - another strongest option.
All classes have a 9-10 sec limits for autocure and skills with long cooldowns

Thieves cures it every 3 seconds in stealth (and 1st cure immidiately), also, sword’s 2 just didn’t have any limits, spammable and pretty low cost

Celestial gear just sucks.

Not being a kitten but, I never heard about OP and even more being a Celebrity.
Another thing – thieves are the squishiest with low HP pool class in game.
As from personal experience, I believe that vigor spam + s/d is annoying due to almost perma evasion.
That still doesn’t change the fact that you can kill such thieves.

It appears that OP meanwhile playing warrior, has to find another tactic against thieves, because it seems that plain and 24/7 used tactic that worked against every other class, doesn’t work.

To be honest – I play both warrior and thief – Warrior lately received only one noticeable nerf – Adrenaline decay, meanwhile thieves are nerfed constantly bit by bit.

Omg… Seriously?! == Guys, does a strong skill in every class have to be nerfed in order to satisfy everyone’s need?! I mean seriously. All classes have their own strength and weaknesses. Do you know how weak thieves are without Shadow’s Embrace if they decide to run a stealth build. Almost every thief runs at least 2 in SA(s/d & glass cannons are an exception). It’s one of our most important trait. Other traits for surviving conditions are just pure BS.

I’m flattered you came to that conclusion from watching my vid, but I assure you I am very killable. There are a ton of classes and builds that do very well against, if not hard counter, thieves — medi guards, d/d ele, most engi builds, etc.

Thieves are in a good place in the competitive environment.

I don’t know about you guys, but I like gimping myself in WvW. 16k backstabs? No way, too easy. Just run valk / pack runes and my backstab becomes around 6-8k with food. I thought I’d just give everyone I’m ever fighting a chance. Because, you know, I don’t want anyone to rage at thieves or anything like that. I also take like 1 condition cleanser and maybe, MAYBE my stealth can cleanse one thing per stealth session if I trait for it.

Anyone else feel this way? Maybe I just like the challenge.

It takes alot more skill to land eviscerate then any thief spell. You an never miss CnD because you just use it along with steal and it 100% to hit.

You can also use cnd and infilitrator signet to get 100% hit, that is the only high damage skill in the game really that cant miss.

With thief swiftness up time its almost impossible to miss backstab – so really I think this is just your lack of skill showing and not the ability of the class.

Thief has alot more mobility – you can dodge 1200 range with shadow step, all i have is great sword rush and then im out of mobile skills.

This is very much a learn 2 play on your behalf – thief is severely in need of a nerf after all the buffs they ahve been recieving.

I agree with you in the case that warrio takes much more skill to play than a thief.

I also agree that s/d and vigor needs to be nerfed because it’s just to many dodges and is severely unbalanced.

Backstab is actually very easily landed – i never even seen 1 thief miss it.

Also you know as much as me that thieves dodge to much and abuse stealth with perm stealth builds.

You dont need to get 6/6/6/6 to be having the buffs i stated in my post.

THe pistol pistol should be a viabl build so i buffed it to make it an option with the stealth nerf.

Stop hugging stealt so much its not a skill style of playing just passive abuse that I hope is removed to balance this game.

It takes alot of skill to time your shouts and health regen well as warriorand to dodge because we havent got vigor we only hae limited dodging capability …

In fact thief is in top 2 classes that have recieved an ammount of neutral changes/buffs.

befor you respond to my thread you should really consider what goes through your mind? Do you think about the people that are going to read your response, or whether or not you are adding value to the lifes of others.

Personally I try to be a value giver rather than a value taker, I try to brighten the day of others as any normal human being would do.

The problem here is, you are focusing on the wrong things in life – infact I think you should take a good hard look at yourself and ask… Am I really the kind of person I want to be?

If the answer is No, understand that we are here for you and that together we will make it. The trick is to start making positive changes each day, eating healthy foods – attending cross fit classes, meditating in quite places, doing yoga with a close aquintance. When you collectively add up these changes, you’ll become closer to your inner core – the real you.

Man, I retract, this is better than peotry from burnfall. Let’s begin…

befor you respond to my thread you should really consider what goes through your mind?

I’ve attached a gif of precisely of what goes on in my head when I read a QQ thread.

Do you think about the people that are going to read your response, or whether or not you are adding value to the lifes of others.

Adding value to their lives… man, I’m no prophet or anything, but I think I am giving them some form of entertainment, like you are.

Personally I try to be a value giver rather than a value taker, I try to brighten the day of others as any normal human being would do.

Yeah, I can tell by your OP. Though try to brighten everyone’s day, and not just your own and for the like minded others.

The problem here is, you are focusing on the wrong things in life – in fact I think you should take a good hard look at yourself and ask… Am I really the kind of person I want to be?

I always answer “No” since I’m always trying to become better. If GW2 and it’s forums is my life… well kitten my life, it’s small and kittenty. Fortunately it isn’t.

If the answer is No, understand that we are here for you and that together we will make it.

Awww, you guys, you don’t have to… seriously, you don’t. Actually try not to.

The trick is to start making positive changes each day, eating healthy foods – attending cross fit classes, meditating in quite places, doing yoga with a close aquintance.

So, actually, you know how you offered help… can you cook me healthy meals? Be my body guard, and get me some phone numbers from those chicks in the yoga classes, k thanks. It my sound shallow, but I have a soft spot for brunettes…

When you collectively add up these changes, you’ll become closer to your inner core – the real you.

Right. I’m willing to bet that the last paragraph of your post was taken from some self-help book you’re reading… It’s nice to see you’re trying to reassure yourself that it will help by telling others it’s ways. Keep it up, whatever rough patch you hit you will get through it mate! If it’s the thieves in this game that make you hate life, have no fear ANet will be there for you and will “help” you get through your troubles.


Side note, I’m all for a (proper) thief rework.
But when QQ threads are made, I feed off their delicious tears. And no, it’s not all the threads that request nerfs, some (might be to peoples surprises) are relatively legitimate and seem like a bit of thought has been put into them (and they dont reek of QQ’s). Though those posts are so rare that majority just end up on the nerf wish.


Stop trolling man, you have no power here, Zero Day has good reputation in this forum . . .

O.o Flattering.
Though, there are others more knowledge than me.

:D I’m more of a troll with an acute sense of smell for QQ’s, and when I find QQ’s I record them on my list.
