Guild Wars 2

+1 to see if we actualy get a say in this game

+1.

We probably don’t get a say.

+1

Please get this sorted out anet.

I do not think this vote will get us anywhere…… but you have my support

+1

isn’t going to happen though cause arena net had there brain kicked in as a child.

(well that’s the only justifcation i can find for this idiotic nerf)

congrats on finding a level of stuipidity below kittenation. bravo…

+1

Sure, I’m all for hopeless, futile attempts of rebellion.

You know what, +100 because it’s not gonna matter. Anet does——not——-care.

Trickery is already hurting heavily with the lack of synergy between Trickster and Flanking STILL not being fixed. Shadow Arts also took a pretty major hit as the stealth on steal trait is now kinda kittentastic for anyone not running a stealth burst build, or for anyone relying on stealth for condi removal.

Absolute +1. ArenaNet are not realizing that they are killing not just the main thief skill itself but also some of the traits that are related to it and that they worked so hard on. GG, ANet, disregarding your own hard work.

+1. The change is really annoying, and is actually huge nerf that went unmentioned in patch notes.

+1

wtf!?!? why did they do this for? its not even posted in the Update Notes.
I re-roll main warrior to thief because of the nerfs and its starting all over again.
this game had a great start but now they are giving us b.s.

My only issue with the steal change is what is hopefully a bug.

If this was actually intended.. :<

Pass! I actually like the change…for 2 reasons:

1: Steal does not go on short c/d if the target is out of range, because you can’t use it if the target is out of range.

2: It prevents out of combat group play for the thief…which (lack of purpose in a group) is just what they need to fall out of group compositions faster.

+1 For 3 reasons:

1) This change was not outlined in the patch notes, which is not only sneaky, it’s bad business practice.

2) This change resulted in a range bug where it seems to think I’m out of range when I’m clearly not (no red line under the skill)

3 (and most importantly) there was absolutely no need for this change. It solved a problem that didn’t exist. They “fixed” what wasn’t broken.

Please reverse this change, ANet. It’s in your best interest considering your Thief community is already pretty upset and ready to give up.

EDIT: One thing they should do, if their concern is accidentally activating Steal and getting nothing, is make implement Thrill of the Crime to make it not require a target (or something like that) since that is pretty much the sole reason Thieves intentionally activate Steal without a target (that and Hidden Thief).

My point remains the same. Please reverse the change ANet or give Thieves another way to contribute to their team’s mobility early game.

+1 for 4 reasons

the first three as outlined here:

and lastly, because I’m just used to +1ing now. it’s all I know.

+1
Please reverse this change.

+15 asuras riding charrs

+1 unless

1. black powder and shadow refuge get reduced cooldowns
2. meld with shadows affects combos
3. we get more group support (how about alacrity in acro)

I’ll gladly give up ooc steal for those things.

This nerf makes no sense, they should nerf the new op specs instead

Usually I’m level headed about balance and think its all good but this….THIS??!? NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS! NO ONE! I’M MOST INSULTED THAT YOU USED DEVELOPMENT TIME TO EVEN DO THIS

You have my vote.

+1
Cant anymore do stealth decaps, panic stealthouts without porting to aoezergfest nor buff allies…

Agreed. BECAUSE REALLY ANET, THIS WAS ONE OF THE ONLY WAYS WE COULD EFFECTIVELY SUPPORT A PARTY WHEN WE CAN’T STEAL ON A TARGET!

+1 revert this change.. Is pointless and debilitating for thieves in every game aspect, and Anet, for the love of god, hire qualified devs.

+1
This is how I got around in cities.

+1

Because if there was one thing thief needed less of, it was the ability to support a party, right???? /s

+1… WTF ANet… WTF.

+1
Really ArenaNet Every patch the thief feels like it getting closer to the grave for that Just F~U~C~K OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1

Terrible change. Undo pls. Ty.

+1
Not fixing bugs but ninja-nerfing…
You want to lose players? THATS how you lose players!

+1. This is absolutely absurd.

you really think steal was intended to be used without a target just to trigger some traits? this kind of change has happened to several professions and for good reason, i.e mesmer’s Imagined Burden. Spatial Surge is useless without a target, but a trait made it beneficial and was changed to only work in combat. same thing!

frankly, i think it’s better this way; impossible to accidentally waste steal now. bad feeling when a target suddenly goes invisible as you use it

+ 1

The balance of this game is in a sad state, the worst it has been in ever, and they choose to ignore it, then do things like this. Guess they are all too busy playin their Reapers, Druid, and Dragon Hunters to actually take the time to do their jobs.

edit: typed the alt code for the infinity symbol and it failed

+1

Even though I have assumed the dev team is uncaring or otherwise occupied with something more important than thief balance and am considering just scrapping the class until they decide to realize something is wrong with it.

+1.

You might say we were… stealth nerfed

+1
might as well +1 in this for my team

+1
It looks like someone in the anet could be killed by raging thief player

Personally I don’t find this to change much in the grand scheme of things, but seeing as how this mucks with other shadowstep combos (any shadowstep → steal, etc), I would vote for this to be rolled back, or at least for the aforementioned combos to be returned to their previous functionality.

+1

Now I can’t give people swiftness. Because support thieves really needed a nerf. Thanks anet.

+1

This nerf was uncalled for, especially when the class is already struggling in every game mode there is. They also managed to introduce a new range bug as was mentioned above and all this right as the pvp season started.

+1

I didn’t expect thieves to be the first nerfed in HoT, and I agree who thought the buff from steal was broken? Please fix ANet

+1
Seriously ugly nerf.

+1

give it back! >:(

+1
Please, I was just falling back in love with my thief after losing acrobatics.
