Good day and I think that other people have a problem with a thief in PvP.Thief used in PvP BackStap and then just spamming heartseaker which gives a very large damage .Byl I would like if the thief has weakened a bit because it is quite a nuisance when you someone is a thief teleports can backstap and then just uses heartseaker. I saw that this combination removes the warrior who plays it to keep in team fights so easy. I hope you understand me

I will assume English isn’t your first language, however, your English is strong enough to get your point across.

I will agree that Thieves are very strong in the realm of burst damage and 1v1 in pvp specifically. Although; I don’t believe them (at least certain builds) to be overpowered.

If you are fighting a a backstab/heartseeker spamming thief; chances are you are fighting a double dagger glass built thief.

This build specifically is strong in the realm of burst, however is incredibly squishy.

From your post, I (might) understand that you play a warrior?
If that is the case, you can easily counter glass double dagger thieves fairly easily.

On my warrior, I love running axe/shield on my weapon switch. Especially when fighting glass thieves. A well timed shield block will completely ruin their backstab opener, and an intelligently timed eviscerate will make any thief cry.
I also utilize greatsword mobility to keep range of a thief in stealth if I don’t have shieldblock off cooldown.

It’s all about learning how to counter, man. Keep at it and you will figure it out.

Also note that there will never be perfect balance in 1v1 fights. There are too many classes and too many various builds for each class for there to be 1v1 balance. I will admit though; 1v1 balance in GW2 is ‘close enough’ that you can typically find a build/playstyle that will work well against hardships.

With this in mind; glass double dagger thieves are designed to be strong 1v1, but are greatly underwhelming in any team fight.

Hope this helps.

Completely unnecessary.

How do we expect the game to continue growing in playerbase and playerskill if we shoot down every player that posts a thread we disagree with?

I will admit I’m also tired of the “class xyz is OP! NERF!” threads, although, if we use the time we spend making replies to be constructive rather than “just l2p noob” we might get less of them.

I didnt see much HS spammer these days.
Thief spammer weak point:
They also wide open to take damage. If your DPS is high and you know you cant dodge those. Just try to last stand him with all you have left.
This is an easiest way I can think of.

Thief was made of paper.

Well I did link a video showing thiefs getting killed in spvp and its get so tiring constantly defending these class from inexperienced players. Just by looking at his post you know he has to be newish to pvp. If he came here asking form help instead I would not have been so blunt.

Thieves are in a really mediocre spot right now in pvp, a lot of top teams don’t run thieves anymore. In the ToL you could see the teams with thieves in them being overrun by teams without and both NA and EU winners didn’t have a thief in the comp. The thieves that were there weren’t that impressive as far as their contribution went.

Sure thief is still the best class to kill bad players, tied with mesmer perhaps, but it’s really not among the top classes anymore(warrior, engi and ele).
