Guild Wars 2

Mesmers have aoe, Necros have aoe, Warriors have aoe, Rangers have aoe, Guardians have aoe, Engineers have aoe, Eles have aoe, and even Ranger pets have some nasty aoe taunt now…. seriously. Howl with Wolf and get taunted for 2 seconds THEN feared for another 2 seconds… that seriously needs a fix.

Just voicing my frustrations at how kittened up the kitten hole us thieves are getting right now. I cant jump onto a single target without getting destroyed by aoe from every other class in the game.

I really, REALLY hope Staff helps aleviate this, if that is our elite spec weapon. Maybe give us some nasty aoe of our own cuz… cluster bomb and caltrops? Ha… yeah. Totally…

Ricochet was our pseudo AoE…

They could speed up the Cluster Bomb projectile speed. That would help a lot with our AoE

A high precision dual pistol Ricochet build with a superior sigil of fire. Good times. ;_;

Thief got some good aoe. SB #2 and #4

and Thief doesnt mean to be aoe type of class.

Nah, but it does need some stronger ranged AoE since they can’t even approach those other AoE’s without melting. Poking with sb shouldn’t be our only answer.

Yeah I don’t think we are meant to have any viable AoE but I completely agree with you, 90% of the times where i get downed is because of some random AoE shredding me to pieces.

I suggest they add a trait to allow us to diminish direct AoE damages (not conditions) while stealthed or something. Maybe in the famous Shadow Arts, I know it’s already a buffed up trait line but it wouldn’t make sense anywhere else.

Ok, so SA is “buffed up”… why didn’t I know that?
Well yeah, for D/P thieves it’s great.

I just had a feeling somebody would make that remark.

I wonder why that is.
