I’m sorry the thief balancing has removed your crutch, forcing you to work for your kills and removing your ability to attack with impunity.

I understand why you say that, I really do. But I just think they could have done it a bit differently? Maybe other ways to take a thief out of stealth or possible make them more susceptible to damage while in stealth. But I guess Anet wanted to remove stealth as being a center of defense for a thief when in combat. Which is ok, im not going to throw away my thief just because of this. However this does require me to change my build quite a bit to a more evasive thief for survivability and adjust traits for more damage since backstab was my dps. ( I was a DD thief ).

Im kind of dissapointed with the nerf on the thief. Simply because my build was backstab stealth setup. Not only is this cutting down some of the thieves surivorbility it’s killing the dps output. It may just be a second but believe it or not that second makes a difference in a 3v1. I know a lot of people disagree with this but I would like to know everyone elses opinion.
