Honestly I feel that the thief profession is already fine as it is. The 4 seconds revealed debuff has added salt into the wound so why the need to nerf more? Plus, the culling should be the main problem (fixed) and has nothing to do with our previous revealed debuff.
From the 14th december update notes:
“[Thieves] can be very fragile if you counter their stealth with area of effects or large stacks of conditions, but they trade this fragility in order to have some of the highest burst damage in the game…”
And ArenaNet has already said that Thieves, out of all the classes, are supposed to be able to dictate the pace of fights—which includes retreating if things aren’t going their way.
I highly agree with the post above.
That’s just how thieves are played. If you don’t know how to utilize these skills provided properly, then you’re pretty much screwed.
If someone asked you to define a thief what would you say in 144 chars or less? Now I know its a fantasy game and not meant to be real life but play a long.
My definition – A Criminal, someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goal. No morals or ethics. A bad guy. A outlaw.
My thief is a hero not a criminal. He is born into nobility and recognized as honorable. He’s a good guy and part of society.
But that doesn’t mean he can’t dress in black at night and hunts bad guys.
