Guild Wars 2

thieves were never really great in a zerg fight but at least they had a role to fill. picking casters, engage people who left the blob etc. after the patch, this is not possible anymore. 5k backstabs on mesmers are nothing to generate pressure, let alone down someone.
yesterday, i took the consequences and switched to my ham/GS warrior – what to tell, lootbags rain again. jump in and out of zergs, stunning/downing a couple of them, rinse and repeat. it’s so easy and i have to admit, it’s fun.
i was able to down 5 people (who were at half hp or so) with an earthshaker and a subsequent faceroll on the weapon skills on a narrow part of the eastern borderlands tower.
apparently, that’s what people want. while high damage spikes and a fighting chance afterwards got nerfed to oblivion, (almost) stun-locking multiple enemies seems acceptable.
i know, it’s sorta low but i encourage every wvw player to do the same. make the meta data scream “we have a problem with the other classes” while having fun smashing people’s skulls!

That’s the problem with Thieves in WvW, good solo/duo Roamers, but everywhere else? You’re better off playing another class. In most cases you will be a lot more usefull to your team that way.

My guild asked me to play Necro, they are “powerleveling” me to 80.

FYI our wvwvw raids have normally 25-40 players and ZERO thieves, thats right! we all are playing with other professions, mainly guardians and warrios, now we need more necros and thats were I come in.
