Guild Wars 2

I apologize for the low quality, the next will have a better quality.
Enjoy.

Wow great vid, that looks like it was a buncha fun.

Oh and to keep people like crouze happy you should have not stealthed so often and you also coulda died a few times to make the zerg feel good.

Cool video, but what is your build and what gear do you use/runes? Since i see you do cewl dmg but yet you’ve got like 16k HP, SHOW ME YOUR SECRET!

Greets,

The secret is selective targeting. Did you notice in the vid that the majority of targets were players scaled up to level 80. Others’ that were taking large damage were most likely glass cannons or not geared in exotics yet.

It’s still a pretty good video, and definitely a very skilled/experienced player playing the thief.

Lol exploit, yeah lets put reveal up so a thief cant stealth at all!!!!!!! oh hang on so what profession shall we call this now, as if this was done he/she wouldnt be a thief. Also if your thick enough to stand there and not dodge or counter you should die. I play a thief and yes its a hard profession to play you cant just whail on players like a warrior/ guardian, you cant produce massive aoe on targets as the ele’s and mes confussions. Our class is to hit hard and run. We are the worst health traited in game for what we do and if we get caught we are good as dead. Reveal stays as it is and just learn to dodge and fight a thief differently from other profs. Once you learn these skills you stand a good chance to survive and escape or turn and show a thief what your prof can do to them.

Good colour choice for fighting in the snow

Good play!

Good video, but you should put some music in next time. All I could hear was your blender, and it sounds broken. On a more serious note, I have no right to question anyone’s musical taste, my last video has Vanilla Ice in it :P

I thought of just a few seconds… like increasing it from 3 seconds to 5 – 7 seconds.

So it will compensate for the time the thief needs to load for the other players when he gets out of stealth.

And with the standard initiative regeneration cloak and daggers 6 initiative would need 8 seconds to regenerate.
It would not effect his overall damage output that much.

I dont see any problem with increasing the duration of the “revealed” debuff.

If you want to make changes like that over something that affects everyone, not just thieves, you gotta make changes to every class then like making the range on kill shot for warriors 600 range instead of 1500 that way if they are closer theyll render faster for me so i can see them before they shoot me…

I dont think the killshot is as bad as the stealth.

The thief nearly halves the time he is visible.
He gets affected from culling every 3 to 4 seconds.

You have a good point with other classes are affected as well.
But its by far not as bad as the stealth thief.

That is a hell of a damage.

Culling is being removed completely. Dev posted not long ago that all characters on the map you are in will be loaded simultaneously. There is no reason to adjust stealth or revealed one way or another.

Good video and well played. Nice to see that you weren’t a full glass-cannon either.

It’s a shame though that even picking off a dozen players like that achieves nothing in a Siege situation like that. People just keep rezzing and rezzing each other and there’s nothing you can do about it.

I would normally agree with you, however, in this video…all that’s shown is the abuse of culling.

Any decent thief can pull it off.

It has nothing to do with the opponent’s inability to dodge (or counter). It’s all just culling being abused severely…to the point, where I’m sure the zerg that was trying to siege was quite frustrated (understandably too).

Oh, and before you start assuming…I play a thief myself. I have abused culling (just like in this video) once in my entire play time, maybe twice (AT MOST)…and personally, I dare not degrade myself to abuse such a broken mechanic again. I would much rather play weak, and underrated builds than abuse broken mechanics to appear “good”.

Hi! In the description of the video says that usage. I use ruby’s orb instead of runes, and a mixture of set berserker with ptv.

Thanks for watching.

It is very hard to finalize the targets within a zerg hahaha, thanks for the comment.

@all
Thanks for the compliments and comments, this is an incentive. I hope to improve for the next video, and thanks again.

They never said they are removing it completely. They can’t make that claim. How long will the game be allowed to suffer until then?

I believe that our goal of removing culling from WvW is achievable and I’m looking forward to the day that I can announce to you all that we’ve pulled it off!
