Guild Wars 2

I have taken a break before and after coming back 3 weeks ago, I realized something.

Thief is still strong but… It lost its charm. I remember the good old days when Ricoshet – P/P was a thing. When S/D was a thing, when D/D rabid/condi style was a thing. When P/D + Bow condi was a thing.

Now a days we have D/P and thats it. Im not saying we are weak. I still rather take a 3rd Thief over any other 3rd class but… We lost our diversity. Im just waiting till perma stealth isnt a thing anymore and when Infiltrators arrow costs +1 to kittening quit this game for good.

Mesmers are more Thief right now than Thiefs are Thiefs. Is that fair? We have the lowest HP bar for a reason. Dont you kitten with me and take that from me.

Arena net!
Please re-introduce the S/D and P/P(I know it was a gimmick but it was the best gimmick out there.) I know we cant have a 1200 range option cause of stealth and moveability, but for gods sake. Give was back our former glory.

Back me up here guys!

I don’t agree. I do not know what you mean by losing the diversity. Ricochet got eliminated out of the thief’s kitten nal. It still won’t prevent you from playing P/P. Nothing Anet does should prevent you from doing what you really want to do.

D/D condi still exists and as a matter of fact somebody earlier posted a thread about that just recently.
You wanna do D/D? go ahead mate.
You wanna do S/D? go ahead. That are plenty of thieves with amazing skills with that combination.

But to say Thieves have lost their diversity is a little pushing it.
I do D/P WvW & PvP and P/D for PvE.

Diversity is fine, mechanic balancing is the problem.

That last sentence is the only thing i agree with. The fact we only have 4 trait lines for starters. Fine. If acrobatics get improved and S/D gets buffed fine, but P/P is dead cause rico. was 1/3 of all damage.

Thats the whole point other builds can be played but they are nowhere near D/P.
