Seriously. It’s like they don’t even realize the set exists. ICD on stealth attacks was fair for D/P, but D/D has nothing to do when (because everyone and their mother has passive blocks/evades/invulns/blurs these days) the backstab whiffs.
Not to mention the BV change strictly nerfs reliability of D/D with mug/CnD no longer being unblockable, and venom play/running multiple thieves with BV up is redundant and strictly wasteful.
I’m pretty disgusted by the profession balance changes. Buffs to condi mesmer and barely touching scrapper/druid durability…. what the hell is this?
It’s a nerf to all your weapons. SB, Dagger, Sword, and Staff. The ONLY weapon I see making out ok is pistol due to the channeling of the stealth attack. Thought the question remains if someone dodges the 1st bullet but get lit up on all the follow ups do they dodge the boon removal?
Either way you need to stop crying about specific weaponsets and look at the entire picture. When you all sit here lobbying to nerf your own weaponsets b/c it’s not your favorite does nothing but put thieves in a REALLY bad spot. You already know that the devs don’t play your class and for the life of them can’t understand kitten about it….so why are you going to advocate for nerfs when you know you ain’t getting kitten for your precious d/d.
IMHO y’all need to knock off the trying to nerf your own class and focus more on getting it into the metas of this game. EVERY class in this game has 1 build for the meta and it’s not changing anytime soon. So you have a choice:
1. Come together and get your class included in the metas
2. Bicker and continually get nerfed even more into uselessness
I was waiting for the salt to enter this thread. It was bound to happen at some point. The options you provide and opinion you voice have very little to do with the problem at hand. No one called for nerfs to thief so that argument is irrelevant. Also this nerf hurts one set more than others due to low stealth up time from CnD. Now please, stop preaching the meta in a thread that has nothing to do with it. D/D has been out of the meta for years. The ones whom have not converted to playing D/P Staff perma stealth yet most likely do not plan to. Thanks, have a nice day.
Played D/D since release and this is probably the worse the set has EVER been. Its manageable but now extremely difficult to land a backstab at all, due to no follow-up.
The Destroyer Scythe has been in the collections since it was released, and I doubt that it hasn’t been found in the mystic forge. So is Anet just being a tease or is it not available yet?
Turns out, turning my graphics down fixed it. Also apparently location is a big part of it. Guess I didn’t try it in enough places before jumping to the forums. Thank you all!
I play on highest graphics. Also, I tested this in many different places and day/night. The shading never changes. The weapon its self has literally NO reflection in the live game.
When Dwayna’s Weapons came to the gem store, I fell in love. Finally, a weapon that has reflective gold. However once I actually acquired the Dwayna’s Greatsword I was more than disappointed. Outside of the item preview and Hero window the weapons look dull and FAR from gold? Was this just a mistake in shading or purposely misleading?
