Guild Wars 2

This sucks for constantly switching between playing WvW and Spvp; you constantly have to adjust and will not remain in a proper routine.. Can’t both be 3 seconds, or both be 4 seconds? Has Arena net given a response to this?

Both be 4 seconds?!?!?!?!?!?!
lol that will make us comletly broken again!

I put both options as the change didn’t affect me really.. As long as you are aware of when to restealth/counted number of attacks before; it wasn’t a major issue.

It WAS a major issue – DPS dropped like a brick for any stealth builds in PvE for no reason whatsoever.

The difference between the two isn’t that bad to get used to. A good player will be making a decent effort in disrupting your stealth→hit→combo→stealth routine anyway.

If it goes back up to 4 in PvE, I am done with the game.

I don’t really care for PvE. This thread is about WvW and Spvp. I’m not saying isn’t hard to to cope with. I’m just saying it’s a pain to constantly switch between 3 and 4 seconds.

I’m sure you don’t, but Arenanet consider WvW a PvE environment. So until they actually split it, you have to deal with it.

I’m going to have to side with the PvE Thieves here. It doesn’t matter that you don’t play a part of the game with your class. Others do.

If the world worked where “it doesn’t matter because I don’t do that”, then I’d vote to tax the heck out of all you single guys (more), not pay taxes that go towards welfare, medicare, social security, etc..

As far as the current state of Revealed …it makes no sense to me that it is longer in sPvP than in WvW and PvE. If I was going to label the thief as “weakest” in one of these three in comparison to the other two, I’d say they are in sPvP (more accurately, tPvP).

As far as “just relearning the timing”, this is pretty good advice. If you simply go to the mists and play around with your sword/dagger/pistol, you can tell how many auto-attacks you get in once revealed before revealed goes off. This is actually the first thing that I did when I started my own Thief.

There’s no point of this thread lol. arena net doesn’t reply to thief forums. There’s been so many and 0 replies.

For WvW, the 4s revealed broke D/D with 30 in shadow arts. That 1 second effected not only the dps but the healing from stealth and the defense of blind on stealth. Obviously this is one build as this effected only traits but still it killed the build.

Honestly they need to make revealed 3s all around and anet needs to sit down and figure out a way to restructure stealth. As a thief I’m bias, I think its fine, but its obvious others don’t feel the same so something needs to be done but messing with revealed is not the way to go about it.

Side note for WvW: new stealth trap will reveal you for 30s if you walk through it. Better stock up non thieves!

I agree with you that ArenaNet needs to figure out wtf to do with stealth with regard to sPvP. Between that clusterfrak and elementalists, it’s not surprising that Thieves are minimally seen at high levels of tPvP.

I disagree about the traps. I already don’t have trouble with thieves and would rather use my supply to create siege to take your tower/keep or defend mine since that is how you win WvW.

However, if you give me plenty of time, I will place a mega ton of siege at a choke point and then drop traps so I can see you coming and shoot you down with my collection of siege toys.
