Guild Wars 2

Yeah same here did my test @ Lion’s Arch. Guess it’s the area then.

Doesn’t work for me any more, steal will start auto attack and CnD never follow through. /Shrug just figure I’d toss it out there since I notice it

Was testing CnD > Steal on a combat dummy and it appear that Steal will now cancel out CnD. Anyone else notice this?

My brother and I had a group setup of like 5-6 thieves all doing dagger storm. LOL. I mean were you guys actually being serious with this skill Anet? I am not even trying to flame it just feels so ridiculously OP.

So you’re saying any other class, with any kind of damaging AOE that does any decent amount of damage, if all 5-6 people of that same said class all with the same built all casting that said “AOE” no one dies? only thieves are able to do this with their Elite ability that is on a 90 sec cooldown? OMG the sky is falling everyone run for cover.

This could be fun, I put the vote in for Yak Bend server

Make no difference really, people that die to thief before and cry will still die to thief now and cry. Thief is OP thread will still be rampart. lol

it really doesn’t do much for an HS spammer if the target health is over 50%. If you get hit with a BS that take your health down below 50% then yes HS is overall more effective now.

If you can’t counter it before, you won’t be able to counter it now.
4k + 4k + 15k = dead
5k + 5k + 12k still = dead lol

Dead? perhaps you..I will never go down that easy specialy whit that combo.Only if I’m AFK.Glass Cannon builds are viable only against stupid or newbs.They keep whining that they nerfed their precious AS and that makes thief useless.I’m a thief too and never used this build and I destroy everyone I fight and specialy Glass Cannon .

Isn’t it only the stupid or noob that cry about the bs built? I mean really it’s not a hard built to counter.

NightyNight.1823:

No it gave you the chance to actualy counter it and not direcly be burst down in 1 shot.

If you can’t counter it before, you won’t be able to counter it now.
4k + 4k + 15k = dead
5k + 5k + 12k still = dead lol

Hmm…. I think I’ll add Assassin signet to my utility bar and try it out might be amusing to see how much faster I can kill people now.

Whatever happen to hitting the stun break and dodge button in pvp? it’s not like backstab is hard to evade.

kaboo.5194:

someone please remind me how can you hit backstab right after steal? afaik you need to be invisible to hit backstab and i dont know about steal giving invisibility.

You can go into stealth from steal by taking 20pts into the Shadow Arts tree and take “Hidden Thief”, but then if you do this you’re not longer a glass cannon and the mystical 15k Omg I kill you in 1 hit back stab is just a dream.

100% Magic find ftw

I am having major issues with this in WvW. I see a Theif constantly stealthing then unsteathing over and over until I am dead. I can’t get get a lock on in time before they do it again, and the backstab almost 1 hitter is insane. I am a hunter with a chance to 3 shot people with my Beast Master high crit damage build with my Raven, however it has to chase down my target, wait for it to stop THEN attack. The only classes I have seen with extreme over damage output for such a simple keystroke is Warrior and Theif. It is ruining the PvP aspect of GW2.

So you’re a glass cannon complaining about another glass cannon class that kill you in as many hit as it takes for you to kill someone? Hypocritical much?

Divinity provide to all primary stat. Personally I use Scholar for WvW. For sPvP Divinity might be better, but all depend on how you want to play. Just remember though “Glass” cannon can’t tank.

I don’t have a problem with the changes to HS damage and threshold. My main problem is after the changes was made HS seem to misses 20% of the time I uses it and just for laughs I tried spamming it and wow 5 misses in a row? no this is not in pvp just regular pve farming mob. Totally lame.
