Guild Wars 2

I made my thief as first char when i started playing, weapon skills were semi bugged for D,S and SB, but i dealt with it and played it as main. i acutally was thinking stealth debuff was a good idea to make it more challenging to be thief. but now It basicly like playing with a handicap. If you meet anyone with same experinced let it be engineer,warrior,guardian,mesmer or necro you can just bend over or run away.
They wrecked any sort of Pvt builds. now a days its either full GC( or close to ) and just hope you can burst them in 1 sec with their 5 stun breaker and much better health pool and sustain.

Other classes has been buffed to a level far above the one of thief.

I tried more or less all builds. thief has one of the least choices of builds and not even very viable builds. I really believe they will have to re-think what they doing or just delete the class already.

I know they wont do a thing since arenanet probly has the worse support and just awareness of their playerbase i have ever come across.

Guess i will have to re-roll engineer or mesmer if i want ´roamer

‘’I know they wont do a thing since arenanet probly has the worse support and just awareness of their playerbase i have ever come across.’’

um nah that would be blizzard with world of warcraft XD frost mage and paladin

They will do something and yes they are aware. They just dont want to make people notice to much otherwise well start asking for impossible stuff and they wont be able to fill the demand. Give them time it took a whole expension time in Guild Wars 1 before we started to notice some change to the class. They still have so many stuff to fix and content to add they just have so little time for class balancing they will make thief viable one step after another

Well Thiefs strong side was roaming and scouting, but both Pvp, Wvw and Pve they been nerfed to a state that can be used but with such a handicap. that they should have done something, i know quite a few thief main players that has quit already( I been way 6 months to come back to a even worse state)..

Exactly my toughts. I have been trying out pretty much every possible Spvp build there is when it comes to thieves, but i cant do a thing versus the more experienced players. If i see a necro, warrior, engi or guardian i might as well run somewhere else, because there is no way i will win 1vs1. In the meantime im doing twice as good on my guardian while having 5x the playtime on my thief.

Thieves aint even the kings of mobility anymore…. warrior wins that game these days, while also having huge amount of CC, survivability and damage…

the problem with thieves is that their entire mechanic is based on stealth (outside of s/d which got destroyed by last pacth) however stealth works only on noob players, hence why thieves look so weak vs any half decent players playing other classes

majority of the players however are pve’ers (aka noobs to pvp) or too lazy to learn, so the QQ about stealth will continue, thieves will keep getting nerfed, while good players will wash the floor with thieves in pvp heh

I agree with a lot of this. I think that Anet balances the class around back stab as well and not all of the weaponsets. Every other build suffers because anet doesn’t give us access to things that regular weaponsets need.

o please just give us our stun break back on the sword u can not use the sword for wvw with out that stun breaker u can semi pull it off in pvp but u r fighting a controllable # of people . but it is tricky in pvp
