Alright guys, this is PURELY about PvP. I know thief in PvE is still very strong, perhaps more now because of the dagger cleave, but PvP is what I do in this game, and it is what I will be talking (ranting) about here. Firstly, S/D hits like a noodle and can now stack 10+ dodges in a row. This will likely cause feline grace to get nerfed eventually, making this set even more useless. (why Anet didn’t just nerf feline grace instead of a whole kittening weapon set I will never understand but that’s irrelevant) D/P still doesn’t have a solid place in team fights, and with the BP nerf and infiltrator’s signet/steal bugs cant land anything, which brings me to my next point. STEAL IS BROKEN. AGAIN. And this time, I have absolutely 0 faith that Anet will fix it. It was buggy before the patch, but actually landing this skill mid-combo after patch is like winning the lottery. Everything being said, I will now be shelving my thief, (my only character with 5k+ hours) and moving on to another class with less kitten to deal with. Thank you Anet, once again, for the pointless trait buffs, and the class breaking nerfs. I may be over-reacting, but I, and many other thieves out there, have been thinking about leaving for quite some time. Maybe I’ll try again 6 months from now, but until then RIP THIEF.
i totally agree to you, i spent 4k hours on thief mostly pvp. its just too frustrating worst patch for thief ever. well this game’s pvp system is broken ever since. mostly meta bunker CC and condis flooding the high rank team pvp. where in thief has no place to go anymore in this current meta + the september patch. R.I.P
well gotta quit the game for a while. Archeage Online will be release nxt week!
Which is funny, considering I’ve been following ArcheAge, but with the recent 1.2 patch they seemed to have kittened a lot of people off. And Trion seems to have no actual say on what goes into the game. Big daddy XLGames (Korean company) seems to wear the pants in that Developer/Publisher relationship. Go look at their forums and see about Archeum rates (component for all high end crafted gear, and since crafted is best…) haven’t been increased, some even think they decreased. But you can find all the Archeum you want in gambling boxes…in the cash shop. >.>
I ended up coming back to check out GW2 since ArcheAge seems like it’s going to be a failure, especially here in the West. Ahh, the joys of Buy-to-Play model. Maybe I’ll check out AA once Trion gets their crap worked out.
I played in all the betas for Archeage and wasn’t impressed with the combat. All negative things/opinions aside regarding GW2, I certainly love the fluid combat system and every other game that comes out just seems to pale in comparison. Plus, not being able to really enter into the pvp in Archeage w/o level/grind was a definite turnoff.

Yeah the black powder nerf is what’s doing it for me. Like seriously, I have never been more upset with ArenaNet. Thief was just too much fun apparently.
