Lols even before the patch… I always end up on a team of 4vs5. I don’t think it is Anet fault on this. I just believe people are trolling. -_-
I’ll play GW2 again when there is GvG or Arena contents. Till then… GW2 is boring.

Maybe it is your axe and shield? Change that to Sword/Shield? For warrior to survive better you need one weapon choice to run away from the enemies or get in range.
I usually prefer GS because of Whirlwind Attack and Rush. I also run Sword and Shield as my off hand. But since your main damage is the Riffle… maybe Sword/Shield?
Also I think Fear me is a better choice than Endure Pain. But that’s me when I play around with riffle build. =D

Lack of contents… Even with the February/March patch. Pvp still remain the same. No different modes in pvp to play beside maybe new maps and capturing points and you can setup a pvp room for friends…
TBH, I’m not into capturing points. What I enjoyed most is hardcore free for all and team death match. There is no down state in these mode to make the game pace faster. Someone mention how the name is Guild Wars 2 but there is no guild vs guild contents at all. The name is misleading to buyers and ruin the game image to me.
BUT hardcore GW2 fans will reply back “Then go play a different mmorpg like WoW” where you can raid with your guilds and etc.
You should make a thorough post on equipments, game play and etc. So I’ll have more ideas on what you’re aiming to achieve. =D

So if I can burst them down before they activate lick wounds under water, I’ll be okay. Or my second choice is to flee temporarily and let their pet res them and try to burst them down before activating lick wound? I guess if I can put them on down state, I’ll just make a run for it. So I buy time for myself to get away.
OR should I used a skill that daze, knockdown, stun and etc to interrupt the skill? Once I interrupt the skills, lick wound become useless right?
But the thing is… my friend and I die in a flash. After talking to her about it, it is one of those bizarre moments you can’t explain. We just know… he was immortal in downstate. I guess it is time to set up my utilities to fit more for under water battle.
Thanks again =D
The first thing I did was, I kill the pet because I notice it is their best weapon in down state. Instead, what I should do is let his pet res him so I can down him again and finish him before the lick wounds occur? It seem like rangers’ lick wound heal more than guardian down state number 3 skills. O.o
But my best option is to run cause I can’t kill a ranger underwater -____-
Thanks OG! LOLS
After I view the image and read Search and Rescue and lick wound, smart choice is, don’t kill the pet. Even if the pet hp drop down to zero it still can support players if he/she have Search and Rescue on their utility skills. And with lick wound, which is the number 3 skills can res the pet and ranger? Is that what it mean by getting up? Sorry that is how I’m interpreting the skill at the moment. So basically I started to hammer on him when his lick wounds was activated…
I guess the only option is to avoid water battle with a ranger in the future or spam number 1 with haste. Try to take them down before lick wound occur.
Thanks. That ranger was more dangerous in down state, than when he is alive and well… I didn’t know how to deal with “lick and wound” till now. I had the mentality if I can burst him down before he heal up, I win. Didn’t do my homework, so lick and wound took me by surprise.
Thanks for the information =D

Alright so yesterday my friend chase down a ranger and fell down the well (hole) in Silent Storm. So it turn into a water battle. My friend hate underwater fight so asked me to take a dive and help her out -____-. She was attacking the ranger, while I went after the pet. After I killed the pet, I went after the ranger and used my Nine tailed Strike to counter him. I’m constantly doing damage ranging from 4-7k. I came in with 3/4 hp on my thief while the ranger was down. He killed my friend and slowly pick me down. It seem like he was out healing my damage in down statement and hitting me hard. I end up losing… only explanation was “HE HAXXOR! OMG!” lols
Can someone explain to me what happen? I fought him on land and he wasn’t much of a threat compare to underwater battle -____-.
Nine Tailed Strikes: Block your foe and counterattack with a series of strike. Gain initiative if you’re not attacked.

Instead of asking for tips… do some research. I spend about 2-3 hours a week just reading and watching videos about warriors and thieves. I’m constantly learning everyday to max out my game play.
LOLS this is too funny =D
So the new patch at the end of Jan introduce Server’s Pride… Too funny… In my opinion it’s too late. Should just keep it free transfer once every seven days and introduce guesting.
Server’s Pride is already ruin long time ago. =D
I watch a lot of people on youtube playing Warriors. This video was made probably 3 weeks ago? I was able to get twelves kill before the next match?
I’m still learning and trying to master the way of the warriors! After watching my video… please give me details how to play better. =D
I love how people blame thief OPness on “stealth” while I go around killing players *WITHOUT even USING stealth on them on my thiekittenStealth is NOT the problem with Thieves. The problem is MMORPG players are NOT *used to fighting a melee class with mass utility.
Now, read my signature.
I agree.
I can careless if thieves get nerf. Even if thieves get nerf… the people that cry about thieves still going to get face roll by thieves. Why? Because now they are facing with a new dilemma. I’m not going to ruin it for others. BUT when you guys figure it out. GJ
Here’s how a warrior with 2,400 armour and 23K health fares in WvW vs a Backstab Thief in one simple picture.
At no point did either a thief or a red name tag render on my screen and as far as I knew I was moving through an empty field under swiftness spamming savage leap / whirlwind / rush. I was downed before my client even registered combat! Full health -> downed-> stealth stomped and I saw and heard nothing at any point. This is Tier1 WvW so no surprise some of these guys have this down to a very fine art.
I mean c’mon. If my client registers something I can react to before I die, maybe I can counter it (warriors have lots of options). I had zero chance.
I think you got killed by a backstab thieves with teleportation skills -____-
In my opinion, I can’t see how a permastealth able to kill you fast enough for the game not to registered it… Permastealth you need 30 toughness to regain initiative fast enough to keep yourself in stealth.
This isn’t entirely true, and I’m not going to explain exactly how, but using combo fields, I can stay stealthed for a very, very long time.
But with a combo field you’re constantly spending initiative right? So how you going to reach quick enough to a warrior on quickness running the other direction, using his weapon skills to move faster… when you need toughness traits to get 33% movement speed, regain initiative faster, and remove condition while in stealth?
Even if its possible to do permastealth with no toughness… how is it possible to permastealth using combo fields to go into stealth using heartseeker?
Is it even possible to regain initiative fast enough to keep field combo and heartseaker up?
My movement speed is 50% in stealth. I use a Superior Sigil of Purity to remove conditions, don’t you?
Um nope… But now I am. Thanks.
If a thief got you from behind with backstab…
it is like… an ele ride the lightning and updraft then change to fire for burst damage that look like one shot kill too.
Yeah, exactly the same… except, that the huge ball of lightning, that takes 3 seconds to reach you is clearly visible, compared to an invisible enemy that appears instantly out of nowhere.
If RTL would instantly teleport you behind your target, then we could talk.
Yup, but when you’re just running away… you’re no longer able to see your back unless you constantly do… Ride the lightning still going to catch up and updraft you which knock you down for a good sec or two.
I just try a permastealth thief. I notice a glitch? So I used blinding powder and hit them accidentally with heartseeker… Hit him for 4k while I’m still in stealth, yet I was not forced out of stealth?
Also I tried a different build compare to my friend because I want to killed too. I remember watching my guildmate do one vs one with a toughness thief that come in and out as he please… Dish damage and vanish into thin air. So I try a similiar build.
The build I was running guarantee permastealth and stack might. I can get up to 10-15 stack of might while backstabbing between 3-7k. Then I’ll used shadow shot to close in and hit haste to finished off my prey.
I also used Superior rune of the scholor and berserker amulets for power/pecision. So basically yea permastealth is alright. Just the constant spamming to stay in stealth forever isn’t my ideal way of playing thief.

All I am reading is “I am trying to defend my overpowered class from getting nerfed so everyone else should l2p. I am scared so i will lash out at everyone else and call them nubs”
Get over it. Thevies are one of the most overpowered classes i have ever seen in the many mmos i have played.
So that mean, All I’m reading from you is “I want thieves to be nerf because I can’t dodge roll and play my class efficient enough against a thief… So thieves should be nerf. Problem solve!”
Beside I can beat thieves on my glass cannon or toughness build on my warrior. When I play my thief… I don’t run dual daggers. =D

Also I play on Ehmry Bays before my guild is dead… I just moved up to Tier 2. The culling is bad on EB already and on tier 2… I was running around… before my game registered I was in combat -____-. I could of drop without seeing the enemies and question what just happen.
For me atm, the thing that is not registering to me is… If they are permastealth build? What power backing up thier backstab to kill you in one shot? I feel like you guys got backstab by a glass cannon and not a permastealth build.
(edited by Eshei.6803)
For permastealth… I believe one of the build a friend of mine run was 10/10/30/5/15?
So for 30 toughness his build was to regain initiative faster in stealth, heal in stealth, and he used dagger with pistol.
First he set up a shadow refugee, then when it is down… He used blinding powder and heartseeker to stack steal in blinding powder. He constantly do this to stack stealth.
In pvp all I did was run in circle like crazy to force him to attack me to come out of stealth instead of using AOE skills… His build can’t kill so I didn’t have to worry much about it. When I had an opportunity on my warrior… I’ll try to immobilize him.
So this build can’t kill but create confusion on other players.
Then there is a build on 20/20/30 which or 10/30/30 with more power, but with AC gears… I can’t see how someone can die to backstab -__-.
But I get what you mean, a thief that permastealth just ruin the game for hardcore/social people.
I’m not sure how others play permastealth… but it seem like if people understand how permastealth work… Best way to counter is to force their heartseeker to hit you which force them out of stealth or wait for shadow refugee to be used… to start the counter attack.
I guess for me to understand permastealth more… I’ll run it and give it a try. My guildies told me to run permastealth, but I love open battle with my thief.
So basically to be permastealth, you need to space to perform it? In my aspect it is better to run dagger and pistol unless you’re spec to kill?
Im talking about backstab and heartseekers. For perma stealth thieves… You just need to know which stealth move they are using…
Hide in Shadow… once you see that animation try to stun/daze and etc. So he can’t go into cloak.
Or once he set a shadow refugee… used any skills that force him out of refugee before the animation is gone like stomp move from ele, warriors, engineer and etc.
If you force him/her to used cloak and dagger… most likely he/she is force to extend their stealth with another skills… or they are going for the kills. Try your best to dodge and keep up the AOE skills.
If they used cluster bomb to cloak them as a combo… make sure you take a hit from that cluster bomb to force him/her out.
My way of keeping a permastealth attack off me is through AOE on me… and distance.
People who lose to spamming heartseekers, deserve to die. Your timing on dodging is off so stop crying about it. There is no difference in a thief that spam heartseeker and the one crying about it. WHY? Both in my opinion are nubs, because they never took their time to play and learn their class properly. If you know how to play your class… heartseeker thieves are the easiest to beat in my book. Also for those who play it casually and just having fun… Obvious you guys aren’t the one crying about thieves spamming heartseeker. sarcasm.
First off you know thieves run on initiative, which mean, after spamming their heartseekers, their initiative eventually run out… they’ll become vulnerable and that is when you attack. Used any skills you can do daze, stun, knockdown and etc. But make sure you kill them before they hide in shadow and escape and always save your heals when 35-45% of health go down if he/she got through with heartseeker. In a one vs one situation, there is no way you could lose.
Most build is 30/30/0/0/10… So most likely their traits focus on dual weapons to do more damage, but no survivability traits at all. Which mean no regain initiative unless they used signet or roll for initiative which is useless for them if they trying to kill you since it create distance and it allow you to run away.
While in a big open field battle in WvWvW. Is there anything to warn you about? Because obvious there is no place for a heartseeker thief. =D
Now for backstab thieves. Most thieves rely on only one teleport skill, which is steal. So if you fight a backstab thief head on… just dodge to evade. I advise you to dodge backward because it create a distance. their steal can be up to 900-1200 range. So just dodge properly and you can turn the table. HOW? Because some thieves have the tendency of pop everything up for that one to three shot kills. Which can leave them vulnerable.
Pop in Basilisk (40-45 CD), Haste (60 CD), cloak and dagger (6 initiative), Steal, and backstab
So if you evade this… basilisk become useless and it’s on cool down… haste is on cool down… For them to cloak and daggers going to take 2-3 seconds… since they miss it… Boo yah, right in front of you is a thief that fail to backstab.
After a fail attempt for backstab and they go off your screen… most likely because of shadow return or Infiltrator signet. Which mean they’re on a different scale with backstab. But the method still work the same but on a bigger range.
If a thief got you from behind with backstab…
it is like… an ele ride the lightning and updraft then change to fire for burst damage that look like one shot kill too.
or a warrior that bull charge, knock you down, haste and hundred blade.
why I used an ele and a warrior? Because if they attack from behind with a knockdown… Feel like forever to get up and by the time you’re up… you’re down…
Hopefully this is somewhat a helpful hint to let you guys know… it’s not that hard to kill a thief that spec in one area. =D
