Guild Wars 2

Necroing/Reaping with style.

Livin’ in a bubble.

Daredevil’s grace.

No, it’s unbalanced, thief should have cooldowns as well.
/sarcasm
Are you for real?

I think the OP meant it the other way.

I think it would be cool if we had no cd on weaponswap (sigils etc have internal cooldowns anyway). Or maybe just lower the cd on weaponswap. We can’t, like other classes, equip for example 2 sets of the same weapon and use the same skills 2 times in a row. Having no cd on weaponswap would make some interesting tactics possible, and initiative might keep it from being op.

Yeah, I also feel like people are forced to play the meta-builds. It’s not only due to nerfs and game mechanics but also due to bugs. I remember when I first started WvWvW I was like “Omg it will be SO cool! I’m gonna drag ppl towards our team with Scorpion Wire and then root them with that venom!”, only Scorpion Wire fails 90% of the time (obstructed by a fart or a sneeze, will make ppl fall but not drag them, will get pet-blocked) and it drains fun and discourages people from even trying new things.

“Why not do a 1v1 fight huh, coward?” (or something similar) – From another thief that I kept teleporting away from, while I was playing venom-sharing support build during a Courtyard sPvP match.

I’m pretty sure it also happens with Steal. Along with the fact that you often steal nothing even though you teleport to someone.

Haven’t done dungeons as a Thief in ages (prefer to do it on Ele) , so I can’t help you there.
This is not a single target build, thanks to Ricochet unload (and anything really) can hit multiple targets. Dagger Storm also is a nice aoe, and skill 2 from Shortbow should also hit for a lot. But as I said, I use it on bosses cause I don’t have to pay much attention in those fights. In dungeons you have to be a lot more careful. Maybe someone else has another build that would work well in dungeons. GL

I’m using something like this:

In traits I went in Critical strikes mainly for damage % bonuses. I use this thief mainly for world bosses and dragons. Since you can’t crit on dragons I didn’t bother with precision on gear – I rather got something to survive longer without paying much attention (world bosses fights can get boring =p).

After I reach the place of the fight I switch the movement speed signet to Infiltrator’s signet for extra initiative regen. Also, if you expect a lot of mobs, use Signet of Malice and Dagger Storm. If it is more single target fight (like Inquest Golem mark II), go for Withdraw for heal and Roll for initiative and whatever Elite you like. And then you just unload unload unload. After the Target reaches 50%hp you get a significant boost in dmg. I’m pretty sure I’ve changed the build a bit but I can’t check it in game since I’m at work at the moment. Will let you know in a couple of hours what I use now exactly.

Here’s my human thief. I totally miss the HD screenshot option. I know it caused pc to slow down for a sec but the screens were so awesome, and you could zoom really close.

Doing group events with a lot of mobs that are a bit over your level can give an awesome boost. I was lvl 71 I think, and doing the whole Jormag event gave me +1 lvl and a half if I remember correctly. Over 17k exp per crystal + mobs + exp for finishing the event was really nice. Just don’t go there when you are like lvl 50 or sth, you will scale up the event but will be too weak to actually help.

Dendail.4896:

They had a notice of 6 days on the TP that is was going away & had the timer since. I’m sorry you guys missed it but the notice was there.

They did? Crap, must have missed it =(
They were marked as ‘in promotion’ all the time they were in the store so I didn’t even check if the message on the little exclamation mark info changed =/
I really hope they will be available again soon. I bought gems just for them and I’m not gonna spend it on anything else.

Thanks all for the answering the post.

I looked on it’s description on the gem store and in the patch notes when they were added, and it didn’t say that they were going to be removed. I really wanted to buy them but needed to wait for money, and they were removed without even mentioning in the path notes (other items being removed have been mentioned in the Dec10 path notes).
Shouldn’t they at least be available until after the ‘nightmare’ plot is over? It’s still going now and probably will end after the next patch. Can you please make them available at least until the last part of the nightmare tower plot is over? Pretty please?

I really like the new faces. I use one of the male nose-less ones (the one with smaller eyes) and it really suits the way I wanted to change my Sylvari. My only suggestion is that since they don’t have a nose, maybe they could use the nose size sliders to modify something else? Like additional tree-like extensions somewhere on the face that would have been hidden if the sliders were at the lowest point and only visible if you wanted them to be, and controlled with the nose sliders. Just an idea

Is he/she evil? If he/she is an Evil Mushroom Mesmer, how about ‘Hellucinogen’? =p

Stupendous Man.4920:

I would love to see unarmed combat. Some kick kitten martial arts moves. I would replace my human thief with an Asura one in a heartbeat if it ever occurs.

Unarmed (or maybe knuckles? fist wepons?) would be SO cool.

Just a small note for ppl out there – sometimes stuff like lag or even pc choking a bit can cause heart seeker not to fire, and then it registers all the button spamming + changes the target (or ignores it) and you see yourself heartseeking 3 times into a wall or a pet. It looks super lame, but believe me, experiencing it on the Thief side is even more annoying when done unintentionally. One of the reasons I prefer pistol.

Yeah, it’s been bothering me since the beta version. Sure it’s quite useful but sometimes the space between character’s feet and skillbar is just unnecessarily large. I often have only a huge stripe of land there that I don’t need/don’t want to see. I’d rather be able to pan the camera a bit up to see more of the sky instead.

7/10, he looks a bit like someone I used to know.

I went for a bit more serious look for my thief.

I think it happens when you try to pick up the tooth twice. Try to remember how many you have already picked up and check the achievement tab. I was sure my 4th tooth was bugged, but then I checked the tab and it turned out that it was picked up.

Actually, having something like “right mouse button always pressed” on toggle would make me really happy =)

I would love to be able to lock the camera on cursor, so there would be like a crosshair in the middle of the screen, so moving the cursor will automatically move the camera (like in FPS games), and whatever I cast will be casted on mob or person that was closest to that crosshair. After that, you could make it possible to bind something else to right mouse button, I’d love to bind my dodge button there.
