Guild Wars 2

Heck. Let’s make a thread where we tell each other the gloriously glorified glory battles we have. Free cookies to those that give epic tales.

And this is totally not an excuse for me to tell you one of my own proud moments. So yeah! I also wanna hear yours too! Mhm!

—
Roaming earlier today with s/d, and snuck up behind some poor ranger. Took him down fairly quickly, (zerker longbow) and his friend suddenly appears from nowhere and rapid fires at me. The simpletons might have wanted to make a mockery, I wouldn’t know. I respawned before they could and ran back, annoyed and ready to give them a good solid beating.

Soloed them both and stomped them into the ground, and their little dogs too. Two rapid fire spamming zerker rangers with knockdown-and-fear howling dogs. Their tactic was simple enough to understand – CC the target and DPS before they can react.

Reason I’m brimming with pride is because I got myself to be patient and cautious. Saving cooldowns, sticking to them like glue, refusing to give them any breathing room, and BV/dazing them at the right intervals. And then I let them know they lost with a quiet snicker before heading on my way.

I deserve a cookie, yes?

Give that thief a cookie!

I logged in once to see that I sold the 250 green low lvl items that I bought for 95 copper for 2 silver and 92 copper. I invested 2 gold 37 silver and 50 copper to make 7gold and 30 silver, that’s 261% profit.

Those are the kind of epic tales/proud moments that I’ve been having on my thief for months now.

I will let the picture do the talking – 2v7. The thief in the picture didn’t last much longer. Also, this was after duo capping hills while fighting 2v2 in the lords room.

Back when I ran dagger storm the stars aligned and I reflected two killshots at the same time.

Well, this is technically a proud moment as a mesmer, but it only happened because I played thief as well.

PvP match, enemy team has three thieves. Initial reaction is, “Ooooh….kitten.” But no! I switch around some traits and utilities, charge into battle!

Backstabs. Backstabs everywhere. Ooooh, a mesmer’s nightmare. I run back to home to defend a point from a thief. He runs off the point and stealths, using SR. I run back and forth on the point, recapping it, knowing a backstab can come from anywhere. Summon a few extra clones and cast chaos storm, granting myself aegis.

Backstab! Into the aegis! Dodge and decoy and daze and spike damage to stay alive! He survives my burst and I am out of escapes. I stand very, very still, mimicking my clone, and oh my gosh it worked. He stabs my clone instead of me and I finish him off.

Oh, and we also won the match.

3v2 fight on Sky hammer, off point near c (it was ours):
Burst opener on one warrior. Got hit by bull’s rush by second warrior. He begins 100b. Shadow step out. Withdraw into jump pad, swap to Shortbow. Bouncy shenanigans ensue. Their third (mesmer) and friendly warrior go off to c, leaving me with the two warriors. I end up downing one of them and using SR to secure the stomp while the other tried to revive. Friendly skyhammer blast downs the other warrior.

I’m still in stealth, just finished my first stomp. Stomp second warrior. Appreciate the two Quaggan finishers for a second.

See half health mesmer slowly backing out of c… Backstab, apply third finisher.

That whole match was an action packed display of dead warriors, back captures, narrow escapes, and IA shenanigans.

Remember to always plant a tree for a dead ranger <3

My first wvw roam( was on my p/d set). Saw a zerk rushing a keep , stealth, went in it looked for a corner to perma stealth, jump around like a true ninja, got knocked back by a golem, fell out the tower, mesmer brought me back up. After that did a few more ninja moves everyone was out of the tower besides me n the zerk. They left eventually leaving one zerk guard behind, surprised him! Killed him! Lucky stomp. Finished The Lord without wasting a ramp. I know ,cheese build but the jumping part was wicked another one was when I was on my d/d went far ,killed a kitten guardian!(newbie) ranger arrived, death blossom to dodge sky hammer! Still got longbow-ed afterwards XD one more death blossom n last refuge saved me.

Doing my thing, roaming in WVW, my own borderlands. Getting wrecked the week by two stronger servers. They own our Hills, but I see in mapchat we are planning to take it back. Oh well I’ll just go kill some dolyaks and flip a few camps. Eventually end up running closer to Hills, see two orange swords, decide to check it out. Massive battle between our servers, probably 100+ people. I run through the broken front doors to check it out, so much carnage – screw this – go into stealth… Decide the only thing a cowardly thief would do here is to run over the bridge and hide in the lord’s room.

Go into lord’s room – there’s nobody here! Lord is dead, room is empty, nobody is guarding! Go sit in the circle. Count down the seconds with sweat on my brow. Capture Hills while 100 people are still fighting. Eventually we end up massacring them inside Hills, corpses everywhere. Mapchat praising me as a a hero. My 15 minutes of fame.

Solo’ed BG garrison, took 15 mins once inside the lords room, and only one guy kept showing up to fight.

Proud moment of mine is when my friend joined a hj and they were losing badly. We joined the losing side and the score was 257 to 492. We then proceeded to carry the team to victory with a 3 cap and orbs

Also when my teammate was down with 3 ppl on his body. I quickly ss up and dropped sr, dodged a few times, and got him up. We then wrecked all 3 of them

Was doing a small group roam session (all 5 of us as thieves) and the timing for our stuff was perfect. Using positioning and good decision making skills we took out an entire JQ zerg (50 people) with just the 5 of us and managed to take the camp and a nearby tower that they happened to break the wall on. They were a squishy zerg (probably lots of zerks and uplevels) so we wiped em again. Nobody else in our map, just us killing zergs. Good times. Also won a 1v4 on s/d thief once in a pvp match but I forgot most of the story. I was just happy I lived XD.

Yes!

This is a tradition in [Grim] and I hope it’s a tradition among all thieves.

When I forget to plant a tree on the corpse of a ranger I get a little sad.

I’ll quickly shadowstep back and try to plant the tree, but they rez just as I start!

If I could run away and emote /shake-head-disappointingly I would.

So this is a ‘So Proud Moment’ for me as well ;p

Did [Grim] transfer to Yak’s? I think I saw someone with that tag last time I logged in. If yeah, then /sad cos I can’t fight you if you on same server. It was fun duelling you even tho you always kill me.

Yes I transferred to YB with the rest of the filthy casuals in [EP]. I often run a [Grim] or “Ancient Vampire [Lord]” tho, depending on my build ;p

I decided to dust my thief off after not playing with him for roughly 6 months. First thing I do is hop in a BL and run to the NW camp. I’m on the cliff overlooking when get turned to stone my another’s Basilisk venom. I shadow step out, and SR. The other player SR in response. I come out 1st, count to 2 , dodge backwards, and CnD. Surprised that I actually stealthed, I back stab right away, hitting the guy as he comes out of stealth. Both my sigil of air and fire proc, his last refuge procs and I heart-seeker into nothing. The thief comes out of stealth downed. CnD and stomp. I stood there amazed at what had happened. Of course I stayed still too long and a medi gaurd hit me like an A-bomb, can’t win ’em all

soloed 2 guards in ranked… killed them both… still speechless weeks later :|
