Guild Wars 2

In blade and soul is everything we once were.

Stealth, stances, high risk high reward, people have accepted them as something to watch out for and not cry about.

Why cant arenanet look at this for ideas to fix the sorry state we are in.

Even if they left their publisher, they should still be able to find ideas how to improve their own classes by looking at other games.

Anyhow, beta time. Maybe return to thief once anet do something that isn’t a nerf… Or until they just remove the class.

Peace.

why would they. who cares for a poor thief soul?

casuals are playing something easy like ranger, guard, necro. thief’s are a minority noone cares about, except forum warriors, who don’t give enough money. no reason to invest money there.

Because in this game it used to be if you built thief right you’d have no risk high reward. Not something the devs wanted, so they nerfed us to where we can have no risk medium reward. They still haven’t figured out high risk high reward yet.

So we have no risk now, Ryu?

OH NO. we have risk, risk of trying to play thief and getting grief for it xD

I’m curious about this no risk, medium reward thing.
Do explain.

Cuz I’m having a great time running around with High risk/Low reward.

D/P thief, zerker build. Good luck killing a good thief player using it, you won’t. Backstab doesn’t do as much as it did, which is why I said medium reward.

Well, what makes it no risk? if its the stealth, reveals have something to say about that. The health pools of thieves pose no problem at all for other classes. Do thieves get some kind of invulernability with D/P im not aware of?

Most thieves nowadays are sticking to out of stealth survival with Daredevil from what I’m seeing, so what’re the odds you’ll encounter an enemy who is using something with Reveal (which is often on useless skills to begin with)? Considering how much Reveal in general is useless outside of fighting thieves…pretty low. So it’s not that D/P thieves get invulnerability, it’s more that nobody takes the tools to stop one simply because they don’t expect to fight one. Think about it…would you expect a D/P Thief in sPvP?
