Guild Wars 2

So, apparently the Thief is “in a good place” because it can easily burst anyone down who has all of their defensive skills/traits on cooldown and/or are under 50% health.

Umm, am I missing something? Do people honestly think this way?

Source?

Not sure if I need a good laugh or a good cry.

Honestly, it’s a conglomeration of threads mainly in the PvP forum. Usually combined with the argument that the Thief has the best mobility, evasion, and Stealth.

Though here’s a related thread on reddit (which I stay away from)…

Nothing you haven’t seen before :-P

I’ll try to keep track of them from now on in order to provide sources… especially the crazy stuff! I attempt to just ignore them for my own sanity.

I guess I may have to necro the Thief Nef Wishlist soon.

I guess DrD D/P is in a good spot.
Oh, forgot that we’re talking about different game modes *shakes fist at bogus balance

Let me rephrase: DrD D/P is in a good spot in wvw.

“in A good place” — emphasis in the “A” means. The Thief has one role using one build with one weapon set. Yes, the Thief is in A good place.

That’s Dev speak and it’s dumb. Thief needs options and diversity, not pigeon hole.

The thief does have options. The option is to reroll, or use the one viable set up my man.

It is the weakest class at high ranked play by far.
