Hi, i have to say i am really sad about this change as WvW runner, because WvW is last thing which keep me with this game. AN said us you can do anything with any class, but this change saying – No thief you have to be strict melee (one to one) and dont to dare do anything else. I mean in WvW is this class death for running with zerg or def. Walls ( only you can do now is hide and solo one to one some alone runners).
I dont really understand why this AN doing this, if cluster bomb is so strong they should remove condition – bleeding – or put down dmg, not made whole class short range only. Anyway in PvP or PvE is range of thief short bow not so important ( i never used short bow in PvP anyway and in PvE is good just for pulling), but for me as strict WvWer is essencial.
I stop crying here and probably move to some other game ( dont take me wrong GW2 is good game and i still come to back time to time help my guild in WvW raids with my guard). Just to feel bad to waisted so much time to make my thief legendary short bow even i hate ponies.
(Really sorry for my bad English)
