Guild Wars 2

Revert Shadows Embrace to remove all conditions but move it to grandmaster tier so it competes with Shadow’s Rejuvenation. Then you can move Cloaked In Shadows to the adept tier.
Reason:
With Shadows Embrace and Shadows Rejuvenation thief got too much sustain while at the same time some hefty damage buffs.
Also Cloaked In Shadows is way too weak for Grandmaster.

PS. Thief is my second main, so I know the class pretty well, arguments that I have no idea are invalid. Also I an aware that there are bigger issues with other classes (engi – Im looking at you) which will most likely get fixed soon. Still this change would do good imo.

sure, nerf our defense more while everyone pewpews you with 10k burns and 20k crits.

Are you joking me? Too much sustain?!?!? I don’t think you actually play thief, the thing thief lacks most is sustain. I would give up some damage just to have good sustain like other classes. People run SA just to get some sort of sustain, the main problem is the lack of sustain in other trees or I guess now “specializations.” If they were to take your suggestion they need simply add more sustain else were, whether in the form of condi removals or heals, or really whatever.

This suggestion is terrible, shadow’s embrace already got a nerf. Reverting it back to normal and putting on GM tier? Laughable.
