Guild Wars 2

Stab does too much damage. This is the skill you get when you equip just a sword. With 300% crit damage, 9001 power, 50 stacks of might, and 100% crit chance it does minimum 8000 damage, sometimes even as much as 24000 against me when I’m naked and level 1. That’s a one-hit kill and nothing should ever one-hit kill. SO I implore ArenaNet to fix this glaring issue as that would finally bring thieves in line with other classes.

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not xD

Yeah, pretty bad. 0/10

I’m actually on the same boat. I once hit steal and the enemy exploded for something like 300,000 damage against a Mosquito. No one ability should be able to put out that much damage. I didn’t even have 3 Orbs. I agree with this fix.

People need to stop crying over Thieves. I’m 80 and it’s my main character. Make one and try to do anything else than PVP or WvW right now. Most people who actually make one understand that you are more fragile than a elementalist and you have a hard time on the dps side for dungeons.
Not happy with a class, just reroll like I had to do with my Necro.

O_o did someone just miss the VERY obvious sarcasm in this thread?

But they do like 5 million dps with a toothpick!

I approve of this thread.

That Mosquito must have been running a glass cannon spec which is certain death against a well geared/highly skilled thief who knows how to press F1.
Mosquito’s need to L2P

Cleary the OP part of this thief build was the over 9000 AP

Otherwise it would be balance

bad trolling. 3/10. for the effort.

So much of good sarcasm went wasted, such a shame.

Over 9000 power? I approve.

Yes, for 5 years I’ve been waiting for the nerf for this ability since gw1 and now my dreams are finally coming through! I would have used my reserve shadow form, however for some reason I could not assume it! But fear not brothers, we do not need any buffs separately as we are the assassins where other people struggle with the debate what should be ‘right’ and ‘compensate them’ for.. yep, you gessed it right, the over powerdness of the sneaky thief assasins.

Please post your build, I can only get 8000 power! Perhaps I just need more training, or maybe I’m just not eating the right food.

You don’t even need a build just put 90 random points wherever you want. Yeah that’s right thieves are so OP they get 90 points!
