Guild Wars 2

I want equip my thief for wvw and was wondering if backstab is still a good source of damage or should i go into something else?

My last resort is rerolling a warrior. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks

back stab and unicorn and p/d bleeds are still as good as they were.

Condition, and backstab thieves are the only builds that were barely touched by this patch.

Backstab is still fine.
Condition P/D builds are still fine.

Everything else kitten, or not up to standard of the other two.

W3 is PvE, so the only nerfs Thieves received are:

*Dancing Dagger: This skill’s damage has been reduced by 50%.

Just reroll warrior, they’re immune to nerfs apparently.

Do the most burst damage in the game for both melee and ranged, have the highest base health and tied for highest base defense, have great group utility/support… never get nerfed once, instead they look to bring other weapons up to Rifle/Greatsword’s level with buffs.

Me though, I find warriors really boring to play because they just faceroll everything.

That was the reason why I thought about making a warrior because every class gets nerfed except for them. All I see is buffs for them.

Nothing has change for WvW goes in builds , WvW is pve therefor , we were buffed not nerfed in WvW

I’d say the balanced one perhaps?

They just nerfed the pvp really to be “fair” to the QQ’ers. I liked the update.. Now we may see alot more variety in terms of classes in spvp and tpvp. Tired of seeing full teams of mesmers and thieves.. even though i rolled a mesmer, theif and a warrior xD

Cept that whole 50% dancing dagger reduction.

Yeah but I only really used it for DPS against Rangers. And it’s not like they’re hard to kill.

It’s still decent as a cripple and that’s fine.

But to be honest, very few balancing decisions make any sense to me. Some of it just seems to be completely random.

lmao.

all those combo finishers to the harpoon gun were some leet warrior buffs.

Better than a 50% nerf on one of your most popular weapon skillsets.

I’d love to see the warrior reaction if whirlwind attack got a 50% damage nerf, and rush got a 33% damage nerf with promises that they were looking very closely at 100 blades damage and probably nerfing it.
