(Gonna update this thread when i have a new thief video from now on.)

I haven’t played thief after the June 23rd patch because they kind of killed the old S/D playstyle (and i disliked D/P), but i played some thief again now so here is a video of it.

GW2 – Lagspike [REKT] – Eradication – Thief WvW Roaming Vol. 1

Not a perfect gameplay (was rusty with thief) and the enemies weren’t that good (it’s WvW after all) but it was fun to make and edit this vid ^^

~ UPDATE – 2nd video is out! ~

Link to the video: GW2 – Lagspike [REKT] – Eradication Vol. 2

Quick preview: this video is also D/P “heavy” but there are some S/D play too. As most people know after HoT thief is in a pretty bad spot (at least for SPvP) but i still think it’s pretty strong for WvW roaming, although you have to watch out and learn the new specs.
This video is kind of similar to the last one as i used quick fights, because they fit the music and edit that i do (and it also fits the “thief/assassin kind of playstyle”).

~ UPDATE – 3rd video is out! ~

Link to the video: GW2 – Lagspike [REKT] – Eradication Vol. 3

Just some S/D and D/P roaming. Haven’t been in WvW that much so i didn’t have many footages but i just wanted to make a video and edit it.

~ UPDATE – 4th video is out! ~

Link to the video: GW2 | Thief Roaming | Never Gonna Find Me | Eradication Vol. 4

Mostly D/P roaming with my new asura thief. I love that ANet rotated Alpine BL back and they try to change WvW for the good.

I hope you like it!

Since I didnt know you I sort of expected a kitten guy running around in WvW trying to gank scrubs. What I got instead was a really good roaming video of a guy with a ton of thief knowledge and that editing! If others put half as much time in making the song sync with the playstyle. All in all I’m quite impressed, and then it hit me. Your in the guild [Rekt] with the big guys. Afro is probably watching the video and smiling to himself saying “Dat mah boy, rekking wiv teef”

10/10 :]

Wait!? At about the minute mark do you start a stomp, shadow step away and continue the channel, then undo the stance and shadowstep back to land the finisher?!
Cause that’s a really smart play!

Secretly creative

Welcome to GW2! Yes shadowstep stomp is something you should practice.
Mesmers also do the same with portal stomps. If the enemy blinks away from you. IE a mesmer downed on the ground, or a thief you can also secure the kill with steal. Or any types of blink like mesmers and ele has.

Nice vid, I was hoping to see more S/D play. I haven’t played thief in a while either outside of pve but want to do it again… S/D for lyfe!

a lot of people will be disappointed they are not it.

I feel like I actually learned a lot just by watching that, I tried messing with S/D but I didn’t have much knowledge of how it works or what it’s capable of. I feel like I know a little more now =). Thanks for posting, was fun to watch.

I wouldn’t say i have a ton of thief knowledge but i know every class enough to know what they can do so i can react. What i learned by playing thief is that you have to be patient with it or else you can die really fast.
Yeah i’ve put many hours into editing to make it more enjoyable and i’m glad you liked it!

Yeah as Inflames said you can do it with every teleport/instant skills. You can even teleport away with shortbow (the teleport is delayed a bit because its a projectile so you have time to start the stomp while the projectile is flying) and teleport back with steal/infiltrator’s signet/shadowstep. Blinding Powder is also an instant skill that can be used while stomping to aoe blind and get stealth.

I had some more S/D gameplay but those didn’t fit in the video unfortunately

S/D is harder to play than D/P and not that effective either, but it can be more fun to play if you know how to (but when i getting ganked too much i just change to D/P or even to my ranger). Its all about practice I’m glad you enjoyed!

This editing is on point. The work that went in to that alone is very apparent and well done.

You definitely have a knack for thief. Simple things like your clusterbomb weaponswap combos show a very thoughtful playstyle. Looking forward to more!

Nice, not really a fan of the quick one shot ganks as they don’t display as much sustained skill as a real fight. However, there were some nice fights in this. I like how you focused more on your own mechanical skill rather than just facerolling bad players for flashy 1v3s or something.

@BobbyT It’s because the music copyright owner decided to not make it available on mobile phones sry :<

@darkaheart Yeah it took me a while, the 2nd one needed way more (choosing clips to fit the music, had to learn to use AE and Sony Vegas too). Im glad you like it!

@Fat Disgrace In the clips i havent used it unfortunately. I had clips where i instastomped people with it, but those had either reaally bad ppl / the clip was way too long and/or boring / didnt fit with the music :<
