Guild Wars 2

Seriously. It’s not fun when we constantly get nerfed because other classes don’t know how to play. You simply can’t stealth that long if the other player isn’t terrible and standing in your shadow refuge. It’s fine. Really.

Buff the damage of other classes to bring them in line. Give everyone another Slot skill slot. Done.

We have so few weapon options (6 possible combinations – the fewest in game) that these double digit percentage damage nerfs are very disruptive to the thief community. Please just make other classes better.

Puppy off, white knights. I won’t read your post.

why create a topic if you obviously dont want to dicuss anything… makes no sense

I’m fine discussing something with people who aren’t reactionaries typing dreck in vain hope that ANET gives them gems.

so your saying the solution to over the top damage is to make it across the board, allowing everyone to kill in record speed?

why on earth would they increase the damage of 7 classes when they just have to tone down the damage of 1? i can’t put in words how flawed your argument is, let alone how you have no idea how to use the term white knight, and puppy? kitten is a word filter, the fact that you feel the need to try to replicate it is beyond dumb

No please nerf us, then it will be more fun killing bad players that come here and whine. They will keep whining after nerf as well, and hopefuly then they will realise that they are just bad.

because thief was perfectly fine from the start and he just got nerfed because people didn’t know how to play….ah ah ah….
i mean…are you seriously serious?
Thief deserved any single nerf he got, but you are saying something very intelligent in your post after all, buff others so that this game could be like a Western movie, 1 shot, quickest draw win.

btw what’s the story of anet giving gems? probably i will get an infraction for answering you but you really made me smile

Oh you’re silly. They’ll just successfully get more and more nerfs until the thief barely exists.

SEE: all previous thief nerfs.

The only nerf I was disgruntled about was Assassin’s signet, I liked having that one big hit. The current one is nice for chained abilities though like sneak attack, which is okay I guess.

I would like to see an offhand sword for thieves with something along the lines of:

4# Counter-reflect: Hold your sword infront of you reflecting incoming projectiles for (insert seconds here), if you are struck by a melee weapon you swing your sword in a cone in front of you inflicting (insert conditon).
5# Shadow slash: Hit your foe with a sideways attack inflicting weakness / vulnerability and knocking them back (insert ft here).

Also would love to see a Longbow added to our weapon set with single target abilities, have some sniper elements to it would be really nice.

Heh that was the only one I really supported. Most of the other nerfs have either been unneeded or completely attacking the wrong thing. The pistol whip one is the one that pissed me off the most, since that skill was, and still is, only OP when combined with the over-the-top quickness effect.

Salt, I get where you’re coming from and I agree I’d like to see other classes tweaked, buffed and nerfed where needed rather than the thief just stonewalled. The QQ Needs to stop.

P.S. Just wanted to point out that Engineers have even fewer weapon choices than we do

I’d say the engineer kits count as weapon choices.

It takes a special kind of wilful disregard to allow yourself to believe that the explanation for all the thief complaints is that everyone in the game not playing a thief is a bad player.

It takes the same to think that all thieves are kitten GC builds with no skill. ANY class ANY build will prevail in the hands of a skilled player, followed shortly by the QQ.

What kind of specialty does it take to not realize that most people playing the game don’t have a problem with thieves, and the bunch that come here and cry are a vocal minority? Or to just ignore the 9 bad thieves you steamroll and only focus on the one well played one who owns you? You only notice what you’re looking for. Hell, most of the people crying for nerfs admit that they steamroll most thieves when we really get down to it and the truth comes out. And most of what’s left admits that they steamroll everything but thief.

This thread shows a sever lack of understanding fundamental game mechanics. As if buffing everyone to instagib everyone else is the solution to anything.

I would rather them balance the classes than break the game.

You didn’t know that facts have a very well known liberal bias? It’s incredible that people can deny the obvious but that’s life. I mean half the country still thinks global warming is a myth. People are far more delusional about much more substantial things.

Every single MMO that comes out suffers the same issue. A bunch of nomad FoTM MMO players (who are mediocre at best) get hissy about a class and clog the forums up with nerf calls.

Developers react and nerf the class, almost always over-nerfing, but by the time the nerfs are in those same forum posters have moved on to the next FoTM MMO . End result is a useless class, most reasonable players who have skill and have researched how other classes play realize that class was nerfed too hard, but developers will almost never correct the over-nerf in case the forum whiners start up again.

In GW2 the class is the thief. I’m hoping GW2 devs are stronger than most.

the post contradict itself since “FoTM” mainly is composed by Thief, and Mesmer…now mesmer has no point on qq about thief since any decent skilled mesmer will wreak a thief, specially considering the % of you who can only play with 3 skill combo and backpedal when they are on CD

FoTM doesn’t mean class of the month. it means Flavor of the month, and can refer to a variety of things. In this case, he is referring to the status of the MMO as being the currently popular new kid on the block. By calling it FoTM he is suggesting that once something new comes out and these people have already ruined enough in GW2, they will move on to the new MMO, in a never-ending cycle. And this is absolutely true.

I’d say that I have more faith in ArenaNet than to think they’d ruin a class, but after Pistol Whip’s nerf (Seriously, our best damage skill on sword now deals less than auto attack?), I really wouldn’t put it past them to overnerf another weapon class into the point of uselessness.
