Guild Wars 2

Hello!

I’m not a thief but a warrior and I would like to reguest a buff for thieves.

I run arah alot and find thieves not so good in it because of the short range of their skills. If u don’t melee lupicus and other hard bosses u need to range it obviously. Thieves got no option to go really ranged. They will be always be at close distance from the target. It doesn’t matter if the dmg ain’t that good but the distance from bosses like Lupi is important specially when u aren’t so experienced with it.

Make some trait or something like that to upgrade pistols’ range or even shortbow. Just to make thief more useful on dungeons. If u think “Thieves are useful because of their stealth” well mesmer can also do that. Not so well but if u do things right Mesmer is enough and that class actually has range(and dmg AND utility).

Please Anet: Pimp their Thieves!

PS: I don’t like thieves overall :P

Just about every solo lupi video ever is a thief…using…Melee. Secondly Thieves have the highest mobility of any class, and should never get hit in PvE if they know the fight.

Your PUG thieves are dying in arah because they are terrible, not because their class is restricting them.

But yes pistols are garbage and need a massive buff.

While Melee is preferable in 99.99999999999999999999999% of situations, I do think that at least one ranged weapon being able to reach 1200 units would be nice.

the only thing I can really think of is to make trick shot 1200 range, but penalize the bounces

ex: 0-400 (3 bounces) 400-800 (2 bounces) 800-1000 (1 bounce) 1000-1200 (single target)

Maybeeeeeeeeeeee increase the damage for for 1000-1200

Or give us rifles <_<

Sniper ones. 2500 range.

No thanks, give me this dude’s Bazooka. Melee + Ranged attacks and AOEs included.
1200+ range of course.

Warrior isn’t only class with rifle.

On topic: Yes the pugs I play with aren’t the best. Anet has stated that the game is ment for everyone. From casual to hardcore gamers. Some people can’t play the game much and arah will be hard to those people and that makes them have one dungeon less. Or one dungeon more that they can not do.

I’m just asking an option to those arah newbies or thief newbies to get something a bit easier allowing them to be a bit more useful and feel they are useful. Every other class has long range option.

Weak long range is better than dead short range newbie.

Other option: Put modified charr rifles on a barrel near bosses like lupicus? Every class would get the range and when u get out of the dungeon u would loose it.

I think a simple fix would be on pistol range. It is not working as intended, and broken. I run Arah as well adn with normal groups where we stack at 900 range for phase 1, the pistol DOES NOT reach. the tooltip says 900 range and my range indicator shows that i am within 900 range, but my shots still say “out of range” this is a pretty serious problem taht i think needs to be fixed….
