Take your pick.
Thief has been my main since forever. I’ve done everything and anything with it.
And I’ve always seen it as a profession with the main purpose of being good at pvp or p(layer)k(ill)-ing.
In pve stealth sucks, most of the time mobs don’t disjoint attacks so they’ll hit you anyway, even when stealth goes full duration and what not. It doesn’t disjoint channeling, projectiles, nothing. It flat out sucks. It doesn’t break aggro (anymore) for good and for bad so basically you taunt enemies back at you. In high fractals they’re good because of how broken some things are (dredge) but besides that, you need to trait heavily in damage, thus making your health worth a mosquito’s. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made it work, and it’s not as bad as it sounds, but the class mechanics (steal so you get bashed in the face, shadowstep that don’t generaly disconnect channels/projectiles, ect) are broken and this is extremely unfun.
For PVP they’re a 0 mistake class. You can trait heavily into defensive so that your damage doesn’t mean squat, and then your task is to be annoying mosquito that prevents enemies from capping. Initiative is quite unforgivable, especially when half of your skills deal no real damage all the while all the other classes blow off rotations that deal exponentially more damage and what seems near endlessly.
For WvW they’re great for avoiding zergs but…that’s it. With the introduction of dire gear and crit nerf, it’s all too hard to play.
Thief still “works” I still manage to kill mini zergs of mindless people and the like, but a mesmer or an engi could do that with much more ease. 1v1 not the best, team support it lacks, zerging it sucks, pvp zerging sucks more, lack of cleanse, lack of hp, lack of damage (unless traiting almost obligatorly on Crit strikes).
They seem to lack everywhere but, yet, having to play with much more skill than other people is stressing.
I think a trait which converts consecration light (and fire?) fields into water fields would be quite interesting (perhaps as a grandmaster trait). I mean, I think consecrations are the only utility line that don’t have a corresponding grandmaster trait.

We definitely don’t want to go to the level of fragmenting the game to the extent that we have PvP, WvW, and PvE versions of all the skills as that creates a disconnect with the characters we want you to use in all those places. That said, we are certainly discussing the idea of adding skills that would have a WvW focus. But they are just on the discussion level.
So the way this was handled in GW1 was bad?
Yes. Not only was it incredibly complex to maintain it became completely unwieldy to players as well. GW2 has made a great number of changes to systems specifically to avoid the complications we created in GW1. Not creating multiple versions of skills for 3 areas of the game would be one of those changes.
Winners will have access to the finisher until there are new winners. At that point those people will gain access and the winners from the previous season will no longer have access to the stomp.
Think of it like this, the finisher is intended to show off who won the last season. If you don’t continue to win each and every season, you will not retain the bragging rights.

More temp` content.
Who is surprised?
Huh? This is not temp content. This in character with any number of rewards that are about showing off what happened recently. You will be showing off that you won the previous season, but once a new season starts everyone is back to start. Having the reward for a limited period of time is very different from temp content.
so if I understand this right in this season there will be a free transfer to another server?
sfr is atm very high I hope it gets full soon then or a lot of ppls gonna come that don’t now kitten about WvW.
thank you Anet and devon you might have killed sfr AGAIN GJ.
a lot guilds gonna rage and then leave xD…
