Guild Wars 2

Yep i’m using Daredevil rune , my next attack is guaranteed to crit after completing a dodge while in combat. and i always have this signet of agility to restore 100 endurance so a daredevil with signet of agility can do 5 to 6 dodges which is really good! and i rarely get into clash while signet of agility or shadowstep on cooldown

So if I am correct. Black Power -> Dodge -> Steal right after stealth takes effect.

No, as I said, you need to use steal WHILE dodging, so Mug can proc too before the dodge animation is over and you inflict both Mug and Bound dmg and end the combo in stealth, rdy to use Backstab.

Edit: and if you can, try to use Black Powder with the target already picked, so if he has Aegis you rupt it with the BP skill, allowing Mug+Bound+Backstab to land (if not, Mug will be blocked by Aegis).

ya exactly. sorry my explanation ain’t that clear. my english is bad

Bounding Dodger Trait – Your dodge ability is replaced by Bound, dealing damage to the area after you evade and it’s a blast finisher that when u combined it with SMOKE field like Black Powder (#5 skill Pistol offhand) it applies Stealth then + quick steal and bacsktab and make sure to always hit you’re bacsktab at full potential so quick positioning is a must always hit at the back and BOunding dodge can do 3k to 4k ish crit

hey sup!. and good news for us, no more soldier, celestial and other tanky amulets i don’t think any bunker can stand a chance against us! + auto attack on daggers got buff… no more boring fights GTFO Bunkers

Ya it’s been a long time since i made a video been busy in the past 3 months but next time i will try to make a 1v1 duel against all different classes with tutorial. Thanks!!

thief still good bro believe me. just avoid get into a clash without enough endurance to dodge and without breakstun breakstun and avoid Dragon hunter trapper they’re aids against thieves especially a good DH trapper. but don’t worry we will get a really good damage buff soon!

it’s been a long time since i made a video. 720p and 1080p at 60FPS also available
and i can’t wait for the upcoming thief auto attack buff !!

Awesome video man!! Thanks for posting! Ive watched it over and over, music is awesome too. just curious what video card youère running cause it looks REALLY good.

Thanks!! i7 2600k @ 4.8Ghz and GTX 980 OC and Nvidia ShadowPlay for recording gameplays

Bazzoong.7145:

Double fire sigil on the bow….

Rage sigil on the dagger….

Sigils of the same kind do not benefit eachother, quickness reduces the leap on heatseeker (known bug since forever).

Blinding powder used while revealed and nobody near to blind…

Fights miles away from any objective, 3v1 chase and your team fails to cap anything….

Quality game play and really knowledgeable stuff all around, thieves are fine….

Darn…

I could go on forever (sigh). But I would get banned again….

My bad that suppose to be fire+air or fire+generosity

Pros- A mixture of decent damage, very good survival and good team support rejuvenate and take less 25% damage everytime u apply stealth to allies!

Cons- Not as bursty as Deadly Arts + Crit strikes trait

Another alternative rune is Rune of the Pack to gain Fury but change trait “Thrill of the Crime” to ‘Haste/Flanking Strike’ trait then use Fire + Air Sigil for Dagger / Pistol

Again, as the OP stated the issue is NOT Mantra of Distraction. The issue is the trait “Confounding Suggestions” was changed from a 50% chance of a stun to a 100% chance of a stun. And was also moved from a GM level to an ADEPT level in the trait changes.

Changing how MoD works, will have ZERO affect on what is happening right now. Because all the Mesmer needs is the “ONE” Power Lock/CS stun to do his burst.

Then he can stealth away until the cooldowns on his GS are over and go again.

So yes, CS is too powerful and needs to be changed. Mantra’s do not need to be touched. Because all that will do is hurt OTHER builds that do NOT use CS. (Granted, right now, pretty much every Mesmer is taking CS. But there are some of us, that do not.)

So yes, nerf CS. But leave the Mantra’s alone.

+1 What he said.
The problem is the 100% chance to stun, which was changed from 50% off the old trait. Sometimes I don’t know if devs really think through their changes. No class should have that much access to stuns in such a short amount of time, unless they want to start adding stun breakers to a lot more utility skills.

+10 absolutely correct!

Thief will get Greatsword and can Backstab for 12k – 15k ish CONFIRMED!

Acrobatics is just fine BUT Felince Grace. Cuz its the worst trait and most useless trait in thief.. gain 2 SECONDS of Vigor for EVERY successful dodge? and it has INTERNAL COOLDOWNS!!! WHAT THE Heck!!

or i think Anet shud add cooldowns on Mantra of Distraction from 5secs to 8secs or 10secs. cuz 1.25sec stun every 5secs after the initial Stun/Daze is hard to counter. atm the only counter to this mez are marauder “Rampage” form Warriors but a smart player will try to avoid it till the form is gone

Chance to inflict stun whenever you daze a target. Increased stun and daze duration.
Trigger Chance: 100%
Stun: 1s
Duration Increase: 25%

almost most of the mesmers using this trait with Mantra of Distraction and i think this 1.25sec stun no casting time for 1.2k distance is hella OP and i thought this one is just a chance to inflict Stun but its effin 100%!!? so anet shud change this trait description to “Increase Stun and Daze Duration by 25% and Inflict Stun whenever u daze a target”

mesmer is the new thief but w/ clones invulnerable bursty like a thief and stealth like a boss!! so why play thief?? cuz i always want and keep liking this prof.!!

LOL i totally agree

Takato.4976:

You know, at 7:16 in your video, you use steal and your deception skills all recharge.

A little cute to be praising executioner when the video you post actually has improvisation traited in lol….

oh really didnt noticed that! i used 2 video clips combined here. maybe the other one is improvisation! i shud have change the vid title then

sometimes using improvisation trait is OP if you’re lucky but it’s a dice roll gamble thing but executioner trait is always there +20% more damage

my main is thief playing in tarnished coast server and i also play cele d/d ele or scepter burst ele.

DeceiverX.8361:

Nobody knows. I doubt we’ll ever get it, honestly.

or bringing back the withdraw’s 15secs CD but same healing power 4,344 is fine to me

im using trickster for the sake of withdraw’s cooldown and remove 1 condi but feels like playing burst thief without bountiful theft is different against foes with protection and aegis with em

Withdraw: This ability is now a trick. Increased the recharge of this ability from 15 to 18. Healing (both base and healing power) coefficients have been increased by 10%

ya sometimes it happens but i dunno maybe lagg? or i maybe pressed button while jumping

wow this thread becoming viral in this pvp forum!!

hihey.1075:

You missed A LOT of Steals. He has GS, so only use F1 when he is on GS.
Aside from this, that spec is definitely in need of some shaving.

ya and also i missed alot of steals cuz of his aegis from his PU trait while invis. and i didn’t use Bountiful Theft in this match

This mez perfected the Rotation of Distortion>Stealth>Dodges>Blurred Frenzy and what really annoys me are these blinds on shatters and he is just untouchable!!
Kudos to Hyperion Xnm

Confirmed Anet did not test all the traits before official release!!

Improvisation u can use stolen skill twice i think this one is too OP
Feline grace and guarded initiation = useless trait
Withdraw’s cooldown was increased but the promised 10% base heal is missing

ya LOL Feline grace is probably be the most useless trait in game. each successful dodge only grants 2secs of vigor? and guess what? it has internal cooldown good Trololololling there Anet
