Guild Wars 2

Sprawl.3891:

people who only play thief: heartseeker is fine

people who play other classes including thief: heartseeker is a bit over the top

That might be because most good thieves don’t even use it… I run s/p venomshare and do just fine without ever touching hs.

MrPrometheus.9246:

Hi, This is Mr. Prometheus – the creator of the guides. Thanks to Tjirp for posting them here.

I am going to be releasing more soon, hopefully part 3 (Utilities) before the week is over.

Thanks for watching!

Great job, and thanks!

Hammerheart.1426:

I think the biggest complaint is the fact that you literally only have to press one button over and over to watch the damage climb. Heartseeker is a minor closer that keeps you on the target, and the damage gets progressively larger the more you spam it.

If you don’t see what is inherently wrong with that design there can’t be a constructive conversation about it.

I understand how the design scares other classes, but look at the numbers. Anet made plenty of effort to make the skill fun for thieves that want to mindlessly spam, but at the same time be inherently ineffective. You simply cannot get the same damage and utility from HS spam as you can from other skills/combos/builds.

Dreadspectre.3456:

A class that can go invis to avoid a 4 second window of damage explosion doesn’t have issues killing them? Well that’s surprising…

Brb..teaching my giant Norn Warrior how to go invis at will.

Inb4:
Use Endure pain
Use dodges
Use CC

Yes, because stealth is op even though it’s temporary and warriors are underpowered. Thanks for your input—it’s obvious you’re playing a totally different game than I am.

Heartseeker doesn’t do much damage, and any thief spamming it is bad. Same goes for those complaining about it.
