Guild Wars 2

The big pre-HoT balance patch has come, and our class is no closer to being fixed.

The only hope left is that Karl can somehow make Daredevil into everything thief is currently lacking in the next 24 days, and well…

What’re you guys rolling instead, so you can farm the stubborn few who’re remaining thief?

What am I rolling ? Nothing … Just a couple more weeks of patience and if nothing changes by then, I guess I’ll have to start looking for a different MMO.

Zerk Mantra PU Mesmer.

Go Chaos Inspiration Dueling. Take harmonious mantras to work with mantra heal and mantra of pain. It’s as disgusting as old D/P SA and then some. Any damage you lose from not taking Domination is compensated by power spike. I still one shot people out of stealth while having AoE heals and conditions removal from mantra heal and mantra charging, as well as heal/cleanse on shatter.

Revenant:

• Energy Managament
• Few Fs (F1 & F2)
• Can play dmg, tank, heal/support or codi effectively

I think I’ll be ok.

A different game. I’m waiting until this weekend to see if DrD gets any better, but I also expect to ask for my money back on the HoT preorder.

The worst part is players should be excited about an expansion and most thieves i know just aren’t.
Elite specs will raise the bar even higher while we fall further and further behind.
At least give us some decent condi cleanse Karl:
Hide in Shadows removes all damaging condis
Traited tricks remove 2
Shadow return cures 2
Channeled Vigor removes 1 condi per pulse
At the very least!

im gonna play necro my 2nd class that I love

Revenant….. and witcher 3 DLC as well as gigantic closed beta \o/ since you know the stealth character in that game doesn’t get ruined because of learning curves.

Irenio said on the Ranger forum that this would not be a huge patch, and there will be more. But currently, most classes got meh changes…The ranger changes to their we heal as one skill were pretty huge though.

Thief ones are below the bottom then. How much time is that? Like 3 months repeating the same stuff?? Nothing for OH dagger to compensate for CiS being next to SRej the list goes on too.

My question is why were none of our concerns addressed in this patch (aside from pistol, but damage buff wasn’t what we wanted alone)? Feels like a list of stuff devs just wanted to change to make it look like they did something with thief. Looking at necro, ranger, mes, engi a lot of QoL changes and requested features were addressed. Does Anet really dislike this class that much?

I didn’t even expect balance changes, despite it being a “balance patch”… that’s how low my expectations were. Seems they weren’t low enough, because Thief didn’t even get any bug fixes (Ankle Shots is actually MORE bugged now), even on things that were fixed for other professions in the same patch.

Stop putting up with this second class treatment. If the end result of this patch is that most Thieves complain, then shrug and keep playing anyway, what’s the lesson to ArenaNet? That they can keep doing this exact same garbage over and over again, and the same people will lap it up time after time, just like the grouchy comicbook fan that rants on a weekly basis that Marvel and/or DC are ruining the industry… on his way to the cashier’s counter to pay for his weekly pull of $50 in comics.
