Guild Wars 2

Hey Guys,

I am an active thief player as its is my only main (95% of play time). Currently i am really unhappy about the thief in PvE.

Whitin Raids, thief is completely out of order. As thief doesn’t really support the team, he is also low on damage compared to others. With this package thief is not relevant in any case.

In the other open world parts it completly doesn’t matter, you can play any class. But thief is missing the real fun part at the moment.

There is no part where thief is best, but in many cases thief is very bad. To be a relevant part in raids, thief needs a lot more damage. Thief is still an all-in character but currently it is not the high-risk high-reward character he should be…

To be honest, i don’t care about PvP and WvW and i don’t care that a change would make it OP in those parts. If it is not possible to balance all three parts, then seperate it. But since there is no chance to really compete in Raids I stopped playing GW2 more and more.

I don’t want to play another class. I want to habe a thief which is worth a pick due to its damage. And currently the damage is okay, but not worth picking it…

Since Thief was completly ignored in the last balance patch I don’t see any way to get it better…

At least rework the Traitlines. You need to pick many sensless traits to get to important ones. Especially at playing with staff, the trailines suck…

At least give us back a worthy ultimate for PvE. Currently there is no ultimate which feels like one. We use them for CC, but not even the complete rotation, because it would be a damage loss…. That is kinda sad….

So far

There are two good builds for thief for raids on metabattle.com, and the venom share one is really good. I’ve not tinkered with the raid dps one. There are also some really good tanking options for thief that allow it to stack up conditions really well (even off of our potentially infinite dodges). I’m not sure what the issue is…

I don’t know but this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQNAW4Yn8lCNOhVmCGOBkmiFaCTLAMhiAb5phzeauCuBHhA-TxRBABP8EAITJGAXEAzUCinuhr2fUeQp6PkCYghVA-e build is the second highest dps in the game. Yes it is not Ele level while also having worse utility than Ele but I have no idea what you mean with the part saying that thief has low damage compared to others.

Also easier rotation than Ele because you spam 1, dodge when almost full endurance and use Fist Flurry off cd (atleast use it before break bar appears so you can be ready with Palm Strike cc).

thief is best dps in game boy. Just no support. But there are so many players in raid there is no need for everybody to be support. Somebody has to do real dmg.

And the venom share build does help everyone else do more damage, CC (with basilisk) and even heal if you use skelk.
