Guild Wars 2

Just remove trapper runes and it’s gone. Easy solution and then guard and ranger don’t have stealth anymore so balance is restored a little bit more.

There is nothing wrong with Ghost thief, for the love of MMOs, you guys try and take all the fun out of this game.

And to answer the question about what is ghost thief, Its a build for thief that focuses on Condition damage and Traps where you use traps to gain stealth, and hit players with condition burst, then vanish into the “night” like a ghost. It’s fun, not extremely over powered, and hard to get good at because you have to be careful of reveal.

I should note that i don’t play this build my self, but it’s still a fun build to play around with.

Not entirely. Ghost thief just abuses D/P’s permanent stealth access. It only makes it require slightly more skill to pull off (which isn’t much).

oh i was not hating on the build i think it a great build to be honest. just in term of skill to play it really go to thief starter build teaches you positioning how to keep stealth time up.

You both clearly missed the obvious troll or have not been around the boards for a while. I mean this is Zero Day of all people.

I mean look at his signature lol…

i think if i wanted to rate WvW based on what i think is hardest to play to easiest hmm i would go. 1 being no skill.

0. ghost thief. LOL? we even going to talk about this one.
1. eva staff/staff( power) (only thing you worry about is landing steal you can frame trap it for 100% hit)
2. eva d/d/short bow ( con) (only thing you worry about is landing steal you can frame trap it for 100% hit(
3. d/p/ short bow (power) ( only worry about staying in stealth)
4. d/d / short bow( power) ( you have to worry about how to engage with out using any utility)
5. p/d / short bow(con ) (you have to make sure you do not put yourself out of position to get kited)
6. d/p /short bow( con) (it very easy to commit to much to 1 attack get con clear)
7. s/p / d/p ( power) ( it very easy to commit to much to 1 attack an they out tempo you in the fight)

this may not be every build in WvW this just a sample size of my view on there skill level as a my view as a thief.

i am not going to put p/p on here because i think it just not worth viewing.

What’s Ghost Thief?

try reading the 50 WvW forums trying to remove it XD

It ain’t easy, being cheesy.

Anything running Trapper runes is a compromised build. DH is probably the most effective but that has more to do with the low skill floor of that class in general than it does Trapper runes.
