I will not give up

Thieves on patch day be like:

When is the patch comming?

AlCojester.4316:

I will not give up

thinking we’re gonna get a balance patch in the forseeable future.

Plz don’t hit us, plz don’t h-… OUCH.
“Behold! the nerf-bat’s power!!!!”

IchigoHatake.5098:

When is the patch comming?

A few hours from now

Not so sure actually as balance patches are usually announced and every upcoming nerf and buff is listed – also we’re in the middle of a pvp tournament..

But maybe now every class (except thief) gets reveal – only fair, right?!

Pretty sure they will just nerf thief more…

Thieves on patch day be like:

can confirm 100%

• Removed Evade frames on Vault

or

• Vault now cost 6 initiative

Nocta.5274:

• Removed Evade frames on Vault

or

Do it to us Anet.
We like the pain.

Corrupt a balance change!

• Black powder now pulses every second. Also applies self blind if you are in the field.

• Preparedness is baseline. Removed initiative regeneration from infiltrators signet, shadows rejuvenation, and quick pockets, and reduced normal regen to 1 per 2 seconds.

• Shadows embrace now pulls all blinds from allies and enemies to yourself when you stealth.

• Acrobatics has been totally reworked. All traits focus on removing impairing conditions. There are so many options, you’ll never be crippled again! Your welcome! Deleted unhindered combatant so that acrobatics is valuable.

• Increased potent poison to 100% extra damage and 50% extra duration. Replaced poison with bleed on all skills and utilities.

• Added blind to CnD. Edit: self blind.

• Increased dancing dagger damage by 2000%. This skill can hit allied players.

• Pistol whip no longer roots you. Removed evade frames.

I wish Pistol Whip still evaded =( I missed the memo, and now it doesn’t.

But uh ye. That skill fact update. So glad we got one, and ele got what 6? Also, Impairing Daggers still isn’t a combo finisher, Dodges still root us post shortbow 5, Pulmonary Impact does not affect downed, and Pulmonary Impact does not benefit from Brawler’s Tenacity. Faaaaantastic. Can I be salty now?

Oh and Scorpion Wire is still bugged while Magnet Pull is k, and Withdraw is still 10% too low.

Edit: With Leagues about to start and Thief still status quo, I’ma just play a Dragonhunter or Reaper. I’d prefer to win, sorry to say. Need that backpack.

It’s patch day. Teef ninja nerfed and notes only show tooltip buff, as always.

“At least” everything was bug fixes – not happy about one “bug” fix in wvw… actually I’m pretty mad because of it

ETA: But on the plus side, the BL dagger is the first BL dagger skin I like.

rejoice! the patch as arrived!

Alright – hey no patch without nerf for thief.

And I was planning to dust off my thief today.

Am I miss My something? Didn’t steal always require a target?

Or am I getting trolled?

Steal used to be usable with no target and would grant thrill and hidden bonuses, but no others.

Ah ya forgot about that.

Thanks

Fix terrain and pathing first, then ‘fix’ Steal.

Often times it helped in endeavors like chasing targets or juking by dropping target and hitting a stealth. It also granted initiative and endurance. Clutch play stuff.

no valid path to target

I used the steal to swift my allies – mostly while repping stuff in wvw.
But in the end, thief is dead anyway – so just nerf it some more, doesn’t really matter.

Thieves won’t ever learn. Then again, that’s what thieves do.

Go Revenant and give multiple Thrill of the Crime stacks automatically every second with no cooldown.

But that wouldn’t be fun, now would it?

I like my rev – but every time I see 5 sec cooldown on gap closer and all the other nice stuff I’m getting slightly mad.

Try Shiro’s #7, it’s quite nice.

That would be 3 skills, but I agree, all three of them are nice.

Hnnnnnn

Anet knows I like it rough

Scary part is, it sounds like something they might do. You even laid the patch notes out for them. DELETE THIS WITH THE UTMOST HASTE, MY BOY.

And that giff just happened; atom guy (anet) just blew up thiefs today with steal nerf.

In return we get only a fix to text. 10/10 IGN Nerf thieves moar b/c it’s funny to see them squirm.
