Guild Wars 2

-I see many people complaining about the overwelming dmg of a thief and others asking not to reduce the “opening strikes” (how I call the attacks you use when invisible), in my opinion these attacks are both too powerfull for spammable attacks (witha d/d set you can spam it easily by using cloak and dagger followed by the 1 strike, especially if to that you join utility skills that hide you or recover initiative faster), but weak for a long space between uses
My fixing suggestion: add a cooldown for the use of “opening stikes”, my suggestion would be 5 to 8 seconds, meanwhile these skills would stay in their “regular skill” form avoiding such quick hide-attack-repeat combos

-Thief Elite nerfed, Basilisk venom… this skill became way weaker than any other elite (and I do include mistfire wolf and racials) when used solo, and even in a team you need a specific trait to make it usefull…
My suggestion: revert the skill back o it’s old “1 second non removable stun” and make that effect non stackable (so if you’d try to spam attack an opponent on that you’d lose the 2nd charge if had the trait and also a team couldn’t stun lock unless strategically plyed)

Uh, just no.

That would reduce the dmg of a pistol main hand by about 1/3 and no one is complaining that does too much dmg as an opener. Thief complaints are 50% L2P and 50% everyone always whines about the stealth class. Throw some culling in there are you have massive QQ.

I destroy every glass cannon thief I meet, they are so easy to counter.

Because the longer you can stay alive, the longer you can fight.

Whatever happen to hitting the stun break and dodge button in pvp? it’s not like backstab is hard to evade.
