Guild Wars 2

I dont understand what Anet had in mind when they gave frenzy to thief. Thief is already the highest dammage output class without it….

I think you confuse Thief with Warrior.

Call it Haste then, or Quickness!

Burst Damage yes, DPS on the other hand is a diffrent matter I believe

Edit: Anet should just remove haste, or nerf if it.

And still is Warrior the class with the highest dmg output (then engeneer, and then, maybe Thief, together with Elementalist and Mesmer).

Frenzy + Hundred Blades + CC = GG.

The only compareable thing the Thief has to that combo is Quickness + Pistol Whip, which does way less dmg than hundred blades, even before is was nerfed.

Kinda funny, isn’t it.

Agree, quickness as it is now is the kind of effect I would expect to see only in single player RPG not on a MMORPG. 33% should be the max increase attack speed someone can get in a MMORPG.

Quickness is general is a stupid boon, for any class. It should be trashed completely or completely re-worked. 33% extra speed in GW1 was perfect.

You place thief dammage output on same rank as elementalist…

I’ll apologise on his behalf, you’re right, Elementalist should actually be above Thief.

Thanks for pointing that out.

OT:

Quickness on a Thief is no more OP than Quickness on the Warrior, Engineer, Ranger, and Mesmer (not sure if other classes have one). If you’re going to complain about Haste, go to the sPvP forum and complain about Quickness on all classes instead.

Elementalist actualy has better damage, then thief and its all in aoe scale.
However its unplayable as with full damage elementalists get blows away by bounced attack which it randomly hit. If you build ele burst, it has very very hight burst truth be told. Survival just sux though.
