Guild Wars 2

As of the new patch if you use flanking strike, Heartseeker or any skill that moves you while using steal, the steal goes on full cooldown and says out of range, counting as a failed steal.

This makes the SD change even harder to cope with – If you’re going to make it so that we can’t flanking strike from afar then larcenous and steal at the same time to the target, at least let us use flanking strike with steal at the same time to guarantee that it toggles to larcenous strike.

If you didn’t quit because of S/D change, you’ll quit after you go and find out for yourself what steal is like now.

Yea fix this totally break thief in any viable pvp. FS or HS + steal = steal out of range, even if u are IN RANGE! steal goes on cd, you miss it and dont get an ability. GG

Not to mention sometimes FS doesnt even HIT! even when u are full meele range!!! if you are going to nerf something make sure you dont nerf it with so many bugs. thanks very much.
Ah and the cant stomp someone for 3 sec after u downed him… its broken aswell.

Is this a bug or is this intended? (ANet should be clarify here.)

I’m no friend to the thief class, but if it’s a bug, fix it.

Definitely a bug, this makes Slight of Hand unviable.

Thieves said stealing was fun so it needed a little shave. To compensate for this, Ripper and Deadly Strike received massive buffs cos build diversity is important. Enjoy the fun for next 6 months.

Lol now that would cause an exodus.

Dec 10th – The initiative “buff”
September 9th – Steal kitten

Guessing the next one will be the…

June 8th – P/D-venoms-best-build Day?
