Should I keep playing thief
Wait nvm the class mechanic isn’t the dodge enhancements, just the single dodge and kittenty animations.
I can only speak for myself. I will always stay true to my roots, which is Thief. Been playing it almost non-stop since I started playing gw2. It’s a fun class, it’s still strong in good hands and feels out of all classes the best (IMO).
But Thief gets pretty much no attention on stuff that has been a problem for years, or more recent stuff, like the 10% heal increase that was promised on withdraw – hasn’t been done yet.
And with the extremely underwhelming daredevil, which probably will not be any better when HoT launches, the state of thief is quite questionable. In my case, I’ll not replace any traitline with the daredevil one. Once a D/P, always a D/P! If you get hooked once, it’s hard to get away from it.
That’s all I have to say, with over 3.2k hours on Thief alone out of my 3.5k hours over all
I’m still enjoying myself alot with Thief.
Best bet to go for necro/rev like you have planned to not waste your own time.
Had this game since release, never got around to playing it.
Got in the game after seeing HoT, and I now have a level 44 thief. Anyway, I’m planning on mostly playing pvp and eventually a lot of wvw roaming, but I plan on still playing a lot of pve. Anyway, daredevil looks EXTREMELY underwhelming and seeing the posts on the thief boards I feel kinda discouraged, especially after my last few games where I got outlasted, couldn’t 1v1 any other class, and felt like I was just capping points, not pvp’ing.
So should I keep on with thief? I’ve been looking at necro to get to 80 pre-HoT, its an easy class, its good in all aspects of the game, and it has a sexy elite specialization. And eventually, if I got tired of necro I’d go to revenant and main that. Both of those classes seem like they’re in far better spots than thief is looking like its ever gonna get to…. like seriously? A class mechanic taking up grandmasters?… and a single dodge?
Sorry for my English
Well…if you haven’t tried it for yourself, you just won’t know. Personally I think the unique dodges have their own sexiness. Sure their placement in the GM trait tier leaves a bit to be desired, but they are quite powerful in their own right.
As for “better than thief is ever gonna get to,” I really don’t agree with this. Keep in mind that thief has only really been getting lower and lower (which is discouraging in it’s own right), but now that it has hit an all-time low, I feel like the only direction it can go is up. The question, then, is how long this will take. If ANet is serious about shaping PvP into a competitive game mode (I’m hesitant to say eSport because of spectating issues), then more frequent balance patches will be released to make sure everyone is having fun. At the very least, they have already confirmed that balance patches will be coming two weeks before every season. I really don’t think that it’s as bleak as everyone is making it out to be.
but now that it has hit an all-time low, I feel like the only direction it can go is up.
Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see them do something wacky like even more stealth nerfs, increase the initiative cost of Short Bow 5, or make shadow’s embrace remove even less conditions.

We felt stealth was too powerful so stealth has been removed from the game along with all classes that have access to stealth.
