Ok, this is it.
I was solo roaming in WvW with my ele. I don’t usually have many problems killing stuff: coyotes, skelks, yaks, and sentries go down really fast and don’t cause much problems.

However, everytime I find a thief, no matter what, I just die. And the problem is, I can’t even see him!
I just go around, then bam! Dead! I got hit by 18k spikes out of nowhere. And when I see the thief in front of me and I manage to avoid his attack, he will just go in stealth in another gimmicky way and backstab me from behind! I can’t even use my heal, because his burst is on a 0s CD!

For reference, this is my build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEEQJAodnEElXbdN6GQYrAhcIDDHIgxBQQkittenHiBA-jkxAYrAm8KiGbLoIasKJMVJRUtToIa1yAYPCA-w

I seriously hope Anet will fix stealth because at the moment it’s just too much. I get killed sometimes by zerker rangers, but at least I can see them and if I get killed it’s because they are good (their bear hits really hard and must require a lot of micromanagement to be effective!). But when it comes to thieves, it’s just 0 risk, 101% reward, go stealth kill people #yolomode

This is obviously a troll thread or you are incredibly new to PvP.

  • Classes are different playstyles.
  • Build matters.
  • Player’s ability in PvP matters.
  • Environment matters.

You can kill an NPC fast as a Zerk Ele.. well done.
PvP is completely different.

Yes, I’ll admit Thieves do have extremely high burst, and they are probably the best 1v1 class in-game. Ele’s on the other hand have the best AoE burst in-game.
I don’t see any Thieves going to Ele forum and complaining they died in a blob fight because an Ele was hitting them 4k’s with Fire Storm in a huge radius?

Ele can give group support and buffs.
Ele is the only class that can destroy siege far back within walls.
Ele has superior AoE.

Thief has none to little of these, I don’t see many (if any at all) threads in your sub-section by Thieves complaining?

Every class/build fits into their own slot of what it’s intended to do. Thieves are almost only for DPS as they provide little Support. Ele can do all, and at that.. within the 1 build.

I crafted a Thief to 80 2 weeks ago and as much as I enjoy it at the moment, I’m slowly getting bored of it due to being tunneled into playing full DPS.
I have a 66 Ele I occasionally work on by playing SPvP for +1 level tomes. I can’t say I’ve played much of my Ele (more than my Thief though) but I will say that it’s far more enjoyable for sure.

EDIT: IGNORE ALL OF THE ABOVE, THIS IS CLEARLY TROLL THREAD. I’LL COPY AND PASTE INTO THE NEXT “NERF THIEVES” THREAD. !!!ONEONE111ONEONE!!ONE11!!ONE!

This thread should embody the hundreds of other threads made by people who request nerf for thieves.

This kind of people usually:
_know nothing about the Thief class
_know nothing about PvP
_(usually) claim to be really good players
_(usually) know nothing about their own class as well
_don’t even try to get better at the game and ask for nerfs instead
_will not change their mind ever
_say that every thief is a noob and that other classes “require skill” to be played

It’s kinda funny that not every user here actually got this

Man, another noob ele complaining about thieves……

If you’re so bad you can’t even pick your traits right it’s not a thief problem..

Arcane abatement is useless, “fall” doesn’t really help if you “fall dead”. Take cantrip mastery instead, it really fits the build and you’ll see those thiefs “fall dead”: they have a lot of knockdowns from permastealth and reducing cooldown on your cantrips will make the difference, especially with your build.

Also, swap the crest of the saman for more magis, the extra healing power will make the difference against those stupid thieves.

i remember this one back in the good old days, " Thief 19.8k Backstab critic"

Since than. how much damage thief can do?

Is it more or less-so-called “nerf”?

If less….

Please! provide patch date of proof

-thanks-

Notice November 2012 patch.

Where their damage is “nerfed”

1.Tactical Strike: This skill’s damage has been increased by 10% in all formats. This skill’s daze duration has been reduced from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds in PvP.
2. Cluster Shot: This skill’s damage is reduced by 15% in PvP.
3. Cloak and Dagger: This skill’s damage has been reduced by 33% in PvP only.

Obviously,

you see what i see…

There goes thief balance.

There goes thiefs’ Future.

Well your full zerker and have no source of protection as well as nothing to help you on attunement swap. I do admit that some things of a thief need a bit of a nerf; however such a thing may never be, and that is okay because a thief can be killed in just a couple hits with some AoE bursts
