The OP lose all his credibility when he say “mesmer are actually top tier”, you might be stuck in the S1.

Pretty sure me and other 3/4 mesmer in the entire game are still playing GW2 with a main mesmer char.

But yeah, the 6 second of auto evade, so balanced… How someone can just even think about that?
The actually top tier profession are Necro/Scrapper/Thief. Mesmer are pretty much dead in every single game mode.

I mean…rly?! Mesmers suck in pvp, sure. No doubt about it and they deserve to get buffed. They are btw still a brilliant addition to pve, but I do understand if you dont want to be a support class. I LOVE having mesmers in high-level fractals. It bursts my dps to levels not-imaginable and therefor, thanks to IP, makes me almost immortal.

But that wasnt even really the point. Thieves…top tier…we aint exactly bad, but that doesnt change the fact, that you have to reroll to another class if you dont want your team to have to carry you.

Just my top 10 things (no particular order) as to what Anet needs to do to revitalize this once great class. Other things I would fix as well is probably a rework of the Shadow Arts trait line but that’ll be for another thread. Hope you guys at Anet get a peak at this. And what are your thoughts? It is a bit too much? Too little? Or sounds about right?

Edit: Scratch 7. Instead, make it be “Evade the next attack after every dodge roll”

uhhh ok.
1. no ty. think of 21k hp d/p thieves….. i shiver
2. “15 initiative baseline” <- ok, rest is like, WTF? guess u want 3ini HeadS spam.
3. no more stealth pls
4. ?
? definately not
5. ?
already stronk
6. yepp, should have happened since years
7. certainly not
8. no ty. enough instant spamming is enough
9. ????trolling?
10. cluster bomb is 10/10

Edit: the majority of the classes are flooded with flawed designs in terms of out of hand boon spamming, instant mitigations, instant soft and HARD CCs, passive major healing sources, limitless spammable enormous damage sources w/o any requriment of positioning, etc….. get some of these issues fixed(even thief got some of this HoT-AIDS) and thief going to be viable with eZ.

Sorry to say it, man, but Thief is far from top tier. Necro/Scrapper/Rev/Ele take that cake. The rest are as follows from best to worst:
Druid > Mesmer > Thief > Warrior.

If you try to play thief as a 1v1 and team fighting class, you will not have much success with it. What makes thief so good in spvp is their insane mobility that allows them to dash around the map and even shadowstep up walls to get to the capture points faster than any other class. With the bunker meta gone (thank you!) thieves are even more relevant!

Just don’t worry about fighting and focus on taking points for your team and away from the enemy team and you’ll just win every game.

Yeah, it’s just lame that Thief has been relegated to the only class in PvP that shouldn’t be PvP’ing while in PvP. It’s like backwards inception.
