Guild Wars 2

Hi all. I encountered an enemy thief earlier in WvW that kept stunning me as he was coming out of stealth. He wasn’t using a bow or dagger or any of the common weapons thieves use. But apparently he was spam throwing some AoE stun skill that kept stunning me repeatedly as well as others in my group. He’d stun for around 5 seconds. then go back to stealth. Come back out. Do it again. Rinse and repeat til our group had to bail.

So I was wondering how was he able to do this. I main a thief and currently can’t figure out where that AoE stun came from. And im pretty sure he was a thief due to the stealth animations and him being constantly on stealth after he attacks.

He could have been using a Sword mainhand. It hits multiple targets with it’s attack and Tactical Strike, the Stealth attack, will daze the target for 2 seconds. However it only hits a single target at a time.

I assume this is the most likely scenario because I can’t think of any other where he’d be able to consistently daze an entire group.

Probably the Gear consumable. Prob will get the nerfbat like the Golem boxes.

is sword/dagger -thief
sword daze you for 2 seconds when he come out of stealth
best counter for this build is constant blind /dodge , an stun breaker won’t help you too much

He said it was AoE stunned that hit him as well as the rest of the group. It was gears. OP consumable that works in WvW.

Its not a thief skill. Its a gem skill. Its ridiculous. It shouldnt be there. You can purchase it in the gem store. On top of it, it also deals dmg. If a thief (of all classes) is using it, dont feel bad with urself, the joke is on him. I would never do this, ever. Foods and nourishments, i approve, its available for everyone and its mostly stats boost (minor ones), but this gem skills (the most popular is a skale venom thats lasts 10 minutes and applies weakness and vulnerability, its bugged as it applies regardless of crit or not, and its a 5% chance) are just cheese that the rich fat kids use to overcome theyre fatness.

Don’t need gems. PegLegs are like 28 karma from a vendor. Skale is a few copper from a vendor. Gears are a few copper as well. All vendor items in the world, not gems.

I thought it was gem stuff. Its even worse, then. Gears are cheaper than omnon ghost?? ridiculous.

I just went to research. Gears cost 56 (!!!) copper… they bounce and apply stun for 3 secs, on top of dmg. Brilliant idea. “We dont want ppl to play the UI, so instead now were giving you Play The Inventory!!”. So good. Im crying. Im gonna buy some. Lol.

Have fun until next patch. They fixed golem boxes so Gears are def going byebye. So far Skale and PegLegs have survived many patches so they may be safe. If they ever get rid of PegLegs I’ll be very sad as it’s a huge part of my gameplay now. From pegging rezers and dowend body’s for my buddy to shadowstep stomp to throwing people from the top of the JP.

Wow. Good to know. Thanks all for the info. Yes. This Gears consumable needs to go.
