Guild Wars 2

“I need help finding a good thief utility build.”

because thief got not much of an choice in there.
As far as traps are to weak , there are 3 major kind of thieves. Backstabers, vennom build, and condition build.
vennom build , use 2-3 vennoms, backstaber use stealth singet of assasin , and condition thief will use maximum survaivability.
If you make an comparation with guardian , where they can use support build, bunker build,burst build, spirit weapons build, consacration build, then yes, thives are forced to stay on 2-3 viable utility builds.

“Venoms are very useful and reliable.”

“i fell in love with traps, they’re awesome !!! "

“I lost to a thief because he was better than me and i need to learn to get better.”

“I wonder what traits I use in my backstab build.”

“Being moa’d for 10 seconds is the best fun I’ve had in a video game! They should double the duration right away!”

“Flanking Strike is the best skill EVAR!! "

(well, sorrow doesn’t count)

“D/D doesn’t have the damage I need. That’s why I go P/P.”

“My Warrior was backstabbed for 15k in 5-6 seconds and I actually wasn’t using frenzy”

“I always use D/P’s Dual Skill, its the best skill in the game, to bad I don’t remember what its called.”

“Backstab is balanced”

“Our sustained damage cannot be overclassed by warriors!”

“Rendering after stealth is the real problem. Thief’s burst is in line with other classes.”

“Our traits are really nice, I don’t even know what to pick.”

“Bodyshot is the best skill ever made.”

“Thieves need a buff”

“we have so many builds and weapons to choose from (for pvp)”

“I came here for thief discussion, strategy, and advice, you guys were so helpful, thank you”

“I was just killed by a team of operatives!”

Daecollo.9578:

“I was just killed by a team of operatives!”

Did they stunlock you until you unsubbed?

“I’m going to roll a ranger as my main.”

“I was just killed by caltrops, NERF!”

“OMG I finally learned how to play and now kill thieves on the regular”

“thief is in a good place.”

“arenanet aren’t going to nerf the crap out of the thief”

“Today I was fighting a thief and I actually used an aoe when he stealthed, so that’s what everyone has been talking about”

“I sure am glad thieves can’t use rifles!”

“The ‘off hand empty’ skills are OP”

“I got BSed by a thief but the rest of my team killed him and he couldn’t finish me off so… I win I guess”

“I use head shot over my other skills all the time because it does such high damage.”

“Wow the thief is such a complex class that requires such skill to maintain a good level”

“OMG rangers burst is so high it needs to be nerfed!”

“Rangers are OP because they get a pet! Why don’t I get a pet?”

“Necros are OP because they have 3748582 health bars!!!”

“Oh look on those 3 mesmer versus us in tournament, this will be so much fun!! ^^”

“A-net admits that thieves are underpowered (UP) on some builds”

“Venoms are amazing, I am glad I can find a build focused around them and that they’re traits are not spread around and that I can use them to reliably heal my group and real utility like other classes get!”

“Nerf dual pistols”

“I’m half decent at sPvP and I actually was able to counter a Thief today”

I love how all the other classes come to our forum with constructive helpfull ideas to improve thieves

“The real problem here is that I’m not good at this game. But instead of improving my skill I’d prefer that everyone is nerfed into the ground and brought down to my level so I don’t feel so bad”

“sorry guys it was really stupid of me to say this without checking it out first, so I edited my post with apology instead of deleting it”

“I sure am glad that Anet never implemented the suggestions of thieves having F1-F4 , either by racking up on stolen items, or by getting a set of 4 random items every time they steal”

“We don’t need a diverse set of weapon skills, six is more than enough.”

“Thieves are a complex and challenging class to play”

Tagnut, that was said by at very least me on these forums.
Don’t spoil our little game. You are the weakest link, goodbye

“I am so glad our traps are deployed in a straight line instead of the standard circular AoE.”

“thieves contribute a lot to they’re raid groups in wvwvw besides spamming blasts in water fields”

“venoms are awesome, I use them all the time!”

“traps are awesome, they fit very well our profession, I use them all the time!”

“channeled abilities do not follow me wile in steath”

“i can solo a bunker guardian”

But… I am glad they deploy in a line.

But… I am glad they deploy in a line.

Why? If they appeared in a circle, like ranger traps, I feel they would hit enemies much more often and generally be more useful.
