Guild Wars 2

Before the patch Arena net specifically said that this patch, stealth would be nerfed, but condition thieves and thief’s mobility would be buffed. Instead in this patch, it’s the total opposite, there was no buffing in thief’s mobility, no buffing in condition thief but instead they nerf both builds. QQ from other class is rather pathetic and they (arena net) even said it is only hard for new players to counter thieves. What happen to giving condition thief burning? why go ahead and nerf caltrops? What happened to the “we want to make thief the most slippery class”? they nerfed gc/back stab thief/stealth thieves but they also nerfed condition thief as well? So instead of encouraging condition thief which is already week and a piece of cake to counter, they nerfed it.

they never said they would buff thieves in this patch, the mobility changes especially where things they’d like to look into in the future (this is developer speak for we’d like to but probably wont has been in every mmo I’ve ever played)

Until they explicitly state that they have put this and that in the patch you should never expect what is said and even then until the patch notes are shown you shouldn’t expect exactly what you might think (as this patch has shown many people who are new to MMORPG’s and play a thief)

they did however say they were gonna buff “condition thief” because it is frustrating for you to do everything to stack these bleeds, and enemy just take it off like its nothing. That’s why they said they want to give condition thief burning. They nerfed both build and didnt give anything good in return. The act is rather lazy and wasn’t think through very well.

That’s why I rerolled into one of Anet’s more favourable classes.
I love this game, don’t get me wrong, its emphasis is more on skills and not gear grinding and level grinding only takes 5 – 7 days if you rush.

But to be constantly nerfed with each patch that rolls out on my thief…. no thank you.
