Guild Wars 2

The following buffs will make Thieves even more broken.

- Steal has had its base range increased from 900 to 1200.
- Steal recharge reduced from 35s to 30s

Skills
- Haste: This ability no longer removes endurance. Gain Fury in addition to Quickness when activating this ability.
- Withdraw: This ability is now a Trick. Increased the recharge of this ability from 15 to 18. Healing (both base and healing power) coefficients have been increased by 10%.

- Tripwire: This trap no longer deals strike damage, which would previously bring the thief out of stealth.
- Needle Trap: This trap no longer deals minimal strike damage, which would previously bring the thief out of stealth.

- Cloak An Dagger: This ability has been un-split and its damage normalized. Damage of this ability has decreased by ~17% in PvE and increased by 25% in PvP.
- Combined Training: This trait was rolled in baseline. All skills categorized as ‘Dual Wield’ have received a 5% damage increase.
- Residual Venom: This trait has been merged in baseline. All venoms now naturally have one additional charge.

- Needle Trap: Increased the poison duration from 6 seconds to 10 seconds.
- Lotus Strike: Increased the poison duration from 4 seconds to 6 seconds.
- Venomous Knife: This skill now applies 2 stacks of poison for 8 seconds.
- Escape: Increased the poison duration from 1 second to 2 seconds. Movement speed adjustments no longer affect the intended travel distance.
- Serpent’s Touch: This skill now applies 2 stacks of poison for 10 seconds.

These changes cannot be allowed, the QQ bucket is full. The Thieves are too OP as it is with access to the stealth god mode.

The cooldown of Withdraw from 15 to 18 is a trick (no pun intended) because with Trickster, this skill will now have 14.4 cooldown plus the 10% to heal coefficient.

Not to mention how easy it is to spam traps while in stealth…can you imagine someone will be perma-knockdown by an invisible Thief from Tripwire spam?

Also an underwater skill buffs? This is getting out of control.

Who is going to take Trickster over Bountiful Theft? It’s a straight nerf.

Edit: Sorry my sarcasm detector isn’t working apparently. I didn’t get the tongue in cheek nature of the post. The underwater part finally clued me in LOL

Underwater skill buff?? what?
so we cant even beat thieves underwater anymore? they are already op, at least underwater allowed for some counterplay

Class is dead. Roll anything else for the time being.

Indeed….Soooo……Roll Necromancer!

Acro :<

Anet will pay for this

Wait till we get our elite spec revealed… already parked two trucks by the forums to collect all the tears… pfft buckets…

Haha:P I secretly hope the Elite will not be RifleO_O I’d rather hope for something like Axe or something:P

Its prob going to be focus.. 30 sec of revealed, imob self on revealed, gain 5 stacks of might, 10 sec of fury..

Seriously Anet what are you doing?? It seems they are trying to build for pve and totally ignoring wvw/pvp class balances. I see a lot of hype on Executioner.. (THIS ISNT NEW, we already have this ability) and I dont see the meta changing much, we have seriously gained nothing from this. Nobody uses traps theyre slow, unreliable and have way to long of cooldown in combat to be usefull, the abilites for Engi to reveal us and mes to “outstealth us” is a work on the qq stealth crying nerfs from a majority of players who dont even play thief. The same thing happend when rangers cried they couldnt do anything.

TLDR people will cry for a while, get used to it.. Anet will fix it and there will be more crying.

Yes buckets — gravity powered buckets on a ropeway that stretches for miles.

Touché.

It might be my last drink to be honest… Judging from everything that’s going on and some of the decisions they’re making.
