Serriously. If you haven’t run into it, just wait guys. You’re in for a world of hurt lol. The old blind was better. Why do i need to hug the guy to get rid of my blind. This makes no sense to me. With this thieves moved from being demi gods to gods.

Also Staggering blow is bugged. Use it then run forward after the animation. You’ll quickly get stuck for another second and i’m sure this is unintentional.

Cry with me my brothers, for I feel the demise of our class is soon at hand :…(

Just woke up from my coma, sitting in my hospital bed. The doctor says I need to take these blue pills to relieve my stress. I just remember these divine hands looking over myself and I’m sitting there kneeling to a shadowy figure dressed in leather, with daggers in each hand. I reach up at the hands and ask them for mercy. I felt a cold pause as the hands quickly shifted toward the shadowy figure and laughed at my presence. Shortly after, I fell into a state of comatose, the world all black around me.
When I opened my eyes, I was standing under a luminous, blue beacon and different colored portals ahead of me.
“Is this a sign?”
I asked myself,
“what do the divines wish to do with me?”
I then fell unconscious yet again and woke up in my hospital bed. The doctor says I have taken irreparable damage to my dignity. He says that no matter how smart I am, or how hard I try, the shadowy figure of my torment will always be more so than I.

Camp guards gonna be OP as hell now..

come on flock to my call criers.

I checked the other class forums and haven’t seen any other complaints.

they should get rid of the adren gain of SOF (IK you rely on it in your build cal but i do too) and turn it into something that resembles the engies goggles that counter blind. I think 5 seconds of immunity to blind on a 27 ish second specced CD would be enough to kill thieves that think they are safe from us by throwing some smoke in the air and inserting their left hand into their kittening arses. Cleansing ire could have countered this kitten so easily if they made it cleanse blind if a target would have been hit. (like how unsuspecting foe procs at the same time as ES and mace f1)

Blinds are slapped onto everything, they are always present in fights with 3 or more people, which is murder on us. Waay too much blind in this game.

I made my build in a way that anet will never nerf it. This patch did buff it but they buff other classes to the point where my build is near worthless. Arrgg, I only make balance builds too.

warriors have limited condition removal

Blind is a mechanic that so easily reapplied and have ridiculous long duration that it was strong before the buff. The only thing that kept it from being too strong was it was easy to remove it.

I can tell the difference between a good player and a bad player. Good players use it as a interrupt. Bad players just spam it like evade on vigor

This was expected, a stealth buff to thieves, remeber that they balance the game around them.

Ya, I know hammer struggles against it, certainly gunna hurt that you can’t just hit 1 real fast before you close with burst.

It sounds like people are having success using Berserker’s Stance as a counter, but sheesh… that thing has a nasty CD. It isn’t what I would consider viable.

You know what else is cheesy. The blinding powder is kittening cheesy. Blind on stealth is kittening cheesy. Dont even bother saying being able to remove a blind is cheesy because It takes no skill to use such an ability in your favor. There is no narrative where you can say it takes skill to use blind since its mostly tied to thieves bloody stealth skills.

I don’t disagree a well played thief is cheesy. Condi thieves can shut down a lot of builds, and if they can’t, they just run. D/D serker thieves tend to be scruby though.

If you said it doesn’t seem to unfair, you’re obviously in the wrong forum section. Thief thread is that way>.>

It posed as a great annoyance because you would go in for an Earth shaker and a good thief would insta blind it, making it not hit. And since you can’t sheath/interrupt your own leap skills, there’s no way to save the cooldown. So they would essentialy bait your CD’s then go in for the kill. Now they can do it from range. Just pistol you from afar while you sit there helplessly. Pretty sad joke

Mine is built that way too. However, I proposed 2 different scenarios on how this buff was going to go.

1) They buff warriors/necros and they’re so strong that they will become nurfed into the ground like a ranger, rendering the buff completely useless, or:

2) they buff warriors moderately with much needed changes and it isn’t really a buff, more of a step towards being not under powered, but at the same time they buff the strong classes like mes, thief, ele, engie… guard……… Which it seems like that’s the path they went. kittening morns man. What the hell. This buff is essentially useless to a warrior with the new blind mechanic now.

How does balance work exactly? You buff things that didn’t need it and cut things that were fine already like leg specialist? How does that work in unlogic 101.

Fenrir.5493:

This. LOL. even in harbinger times, there is humor. But at the same time it makes you look at your shoes after you laugh and you know that’s where you class is. Right there below your shoes, and you’re the thief standing in them.

I still don’t think cleansing a blind should be as easy as swinging at nothing. I don’t disagree that it’s a little out of control now, but there are other ways for them to adjust it. They can start by speeding up the hammer. I played S/D acrobat thief for a bit to learn the class, and hammer warriors were a joke. There wasn’t a single attack I didn’t see coming. I actually felt a little bad for the guy cause he was completely helpless.

Anyway, swinging at nothing is lame, and the amount of blinds thieves have is even more lame. Hopefully something changes.

I don’t think its that bad yet to bring up Aion. I mean kitten you remember how Aion was? Or maybe still is (its been a few years since I was done with that).

Also free to play my kitten . I payed for this game and the sub model is on the way out as it is. The old server cost argument is dead.

As far as action goes. Bah DCUO is the stick I actually measure action by (Poor CoH). The is a basic mmo with action elements. TERA is technically an action mmo but the animations are so slow in PvE its stupid.

I agree it was bat at times. I remember a thief named ghost fayce would go around in full golds and wreck people. He’d stay at level 40 so that he could level cap the rift and just dominate. He racked up like 50k frags in a short amount of time lol… it was pretty bad. It is heading this direction though. They already have the thief mechanics setup for it. It died last I remember because of some corporate game that ncsoft instilled which killed off all the player base. Tera, if i’m not mistaken is the result of those people who left aion and created their own thing. I hold this knowledge loosely, so don’t destroy me for it.

TBH tera was killed as a sub game by this one. That being said they did try to bump PvP balance issues as quick as the main studio in korea would allow them. At first slayers were one of the king classes of PvP but they actually nerfed it to hell. It is that type of game. Funny thing you can still get stun locked by warrior who’s play can be more akin to thief in this game but requires more skill to play to its full potential.

However, comparing that game to this one this is better. tera is still a gear treadmill and I can not stand that kitten. I prefer this system. Despite it being a small difference this is much better in terms of frustration. The other thing is Tera can be clunky at times and relies too heavily on each classes mechanic (even more than thief and stealth). On top of that hit boxes are kittened up so there are clear racial advantages (animations as well). At the end of the day end that game is still a grind fest and PvP options here are numerous compared to there.

As much complaining as we do until another game gives many of us WvW to level of this game or beyond there will continue to be a community.

No matter how much I may kitten personally I rather see this game get better than quit. There is simply too much potential here that is not elsewhere. If you look at it GW2 is actually the best game out there right now because we are still in vanilla. Our complaints are meant not to ruin the game but to make it better so that as future expansion packs come out and the game expands we help it reach its full potential. This is a labor of love to an extent. How many of us played GW1 even when WoW was king? How many of us gave hours to that game and money? We put a lot of faith in Anet and we still do.

Our kittening is akin to a mother’s nagging. Its annoying as kitten but in the long run most of us are talking about what would be best for the game.

Little speech over.

This blind mechanic is absolutely kittened. It’s really that simple.

Wait till you fight multiple thieves who are all blinding you and dodging/rolling/stealthing in different directions. Might as well just stand there and die because there is nothing you can do.

LOL!!!!! Welcome to my post. I feel like I was one of the few people to see how kittened up this mechanic is now. I expect it to be returned to its former state some time soon. If not, then, well, anet has a lot of complaints about to be handed out lol

No matter how much I may kitten personally I rather see this game get better than quit. There is simply too much potential here that is not elsewhere. If you look at it GW2 is actually the best game out there right now because we are still in vanilla. Our complaints are meant not to ruin the game but to make it better so that as future expansion packs come out and the game expands we help it reach its full potential. This is a labor of love to an extent. How many of us played GW1 even when WoW was king? How many of us gave hours to that game and money? We put a lot of faith in Anet and we still do.

Our kittening is akin to a mother’s nagging. Its annoying as kitten but in the long run most of us are talking about what would be best for the game.

Little speech over.

A truely loyal follower. I share your passion, but…. the way this is going I feel like they don’t even read the forums man.

Is that really unreasonable? Anyone fighting multiple anything should have a REALLY tough go of it. Frankly, if you don’t die from being outnumbered, your opponents suck. You should expect it Has nothing to do with being thieves.

lol Have you ever seen what a good thief or mesmer can do?! Unless you have someone brimming with CC or glassy burst, the best you can hope for is to scare him away…

I don’t think you understand.

It doesn’t matter if you’re 1v2ing, 2v2ing, 3v2ing, the thieves will be applying AOE blinds, both of them, to everyone trying to melee them. Then they move in different directions. If you, as a melee, are stuck to one thief, you will still be blinded by another thief, whom you are not in melee distance to shake off the blind.

Here’s the other thing. It doesn’t matter how bad the thieves are, or how good the warrior is. If they are spamming blinds, the warrior is incapable of winning the fight. Thus the important factor is no longer who is more skilled, but rather whether the thieves have blinds in their builds and how many they are packing. And I guarantee you with how powerful blind has become, every single thief will be running blind-heavy builds.

And this isn’t even talking about mesmers, guardians and ele’s yet. Mesmers might even be worse than thieves at this point in abusing this now-broken mechanic.

Blind was already very strong before this change. There was absolutely no reason to buff blind.

Oh btw, guess who is in last place by a mile and a half with regards to number of skills that apply blind? That’s right, warrior.

Hopefully something changes.

Right. The reason that both rangers and warriors still play this game still. Oh hopefully they’ll get it. oh yeah they’ll get it next time. Oh okay next time.. and so this is the next time. But when is the next time? If you catch my drift. I feel a large player base ready to leave the game. I’m getting pretty close myself.

Lol. The only 2 reasons this game is still alive are: 1) It’s free to play 2) It isn’t competing against any other mainstream pvp-centric MMORPGs. That will change soon enough.

It doesn’t even have good pve. Honestly. Getting hard to tell what was so revolutionary behind this “masterpiece.” I don’t even think aion was this bad when thief era was happening. They got on balance pretty quick and it wasn’t much of a problem lol

No kidding. GW2 has actually made me miss Aion… For anyone who played Aion, that says a lot.

Somewhat agreed, I will never miss the brain-melting experience that was Aion grind, nor do I care much about it’s PvE in general (I find GW2 PvE more enjoyable, can’t quite put words to it atm but I know the reasons). But PvP was superior imo, for a variety of reasons, the bottomline is that zerging in Balaurea is WAY more fun than zerging in the Mist Wars, and on top of that, since PvP is the objective (most of the time) rather than some tower/castle/keep, there were also a lot of small group fights going on, which make the experience that much better.

Bump. Read it balance team. Read it and correct it.

bumping to confirm the staggering blow bug.
cant wait to run into blindspammers now

Did some games earlier, everyone was spamming blinds. It was just dumb.

if anet want to keep keep this mechanic, they should gve warrior more condition removal

now, we have to waste a precious condition removal to hit which is worse than needing cc

Warrior thread is the only one crying about it lolol.
