[Video] Unranked season - Faeleth thief S/D

Okay, I watched the video.
When someone claims that thief is in a good state and should not be buffed it irks me.

So I watch the video. Okay you spam dodge out of situations. No suprise.
You kill thieves and mesmers. You kill a dragonhunter focusing on someone else.
You kill opponents already engaging with someone else.

You are playing a very forgiving playstyle on a mobile profession doing +1. It is nothing amazing about it. You are a decent player, dont get me wrong. I’m just tired of people killing a few kitten players and go “see? it was all l2p all along”

Guild wars 2 is in a state of unbalance at the moment.
Some professions are stronger, some are alot weaker.
Unranked que. New players. No teamwork. Noone vs full premade.
Cancer builds. Bugs, no dev responses.

When I’m enjoying the game I laugh, I have fun. I stay positive. Dabble in conversations with fellow teammates.

When I lose over and over and over again my patience runs low. When premade dominates your team by zerging and your team don’t outrotate them you get sour.
At first you pretend like it doesn’t bother you, but every loss gnaws at your arrogance.
You then meet players with cancerbuilds whose only existence is there to torment and annoy players.
Yesterday that was when I had to pleasure of playing on skyhammer vs a 3 man group and their DH put all the traps right inside the portal to the skyhammer.
Because of the loading animations, your character would not dodge before it was too late.

Simpe answer to your question: Block them right away. Dont waste your time or energy on people like me, because we are quite good at getting under your skin.

With the new specialization release… i just get rekt so much more.. because.. i main a warrior.. and the berserker is nothing but complete thrash so i was sticking to my old build.. I cant even touch a DH without being in range of his death traps. And some of them.. will /dance on your corpse. /s “u suck”.

i cri everytim

Yes sadly this is a recurring thing. Dragonhunter has got to be one of the easiest and strongest professions out there hands down. It has absolutly everything you want, and then alittle more. 8 k trueshots on a low cd, traps, CC, reflections, burning. Blocks. Hp regen.

Is there something wrong with me as a player?
There is no easy way of telling this as it is to a bunch of strangers. We are taught to be critical about everything being said and done and in the end noone cares at all.
So why do I feel the urge to tell this now..even when expecting the reponse to be divided.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Gw 2 has been an emotional rollecoaster. My first main in this game was thief and never looked back. Only the last 6 months that Ive been playing thief, engie and necromancer. Right now I feel like I dont have a main…
When I log on now its mostly a feeling of “What do I do now, and what do I play?”.
When I play pvp games I seem to get people on my team that has no intention of playing the objective but rather offpoint or charge right into a 4v1. No matter what I type, how I explain things it falls apon deaf ears. Right now solo Q is a living hell filled with premades and experimental players coupled with fresh players that refuse to utter a single word.

My passion used to be playing, crafting gear. Theorycrafting and putting that theorycrafting to life by killing players. Right now I feel out of touch with myself. With the game. Iam starting to really see the underlying issues in guild wars 2 and how it is so. Why haven’t they fixed ranger pets yet? And why is it the moment a pet actually does something it gets nerfed hard? But why arent other professions equally nerfed?
And why arent some professions equally buffed??

Guild wars 2 used to be about timing your dodges. Right now it doesnt matter because every profession has several abilities which will interupt, stun, daze and knock you down. This become clear when facing full premades who is really going for as unkillable build as possible. I dont understand what the game wants to do anymore.
Is it all about as much burst as possible? Then what is celestial amulet for?
But its to stop people being bursted. Then why don’t they reduce the overall damage?
They keep increasing the damage abilities of some of the strongest professions out there and you have two options. Either you throw every survival utility on your bar, or you get yourself the celestial amulet, or cleric, or settler.

In the end build variety is killed off because certain professions NEED a certain weapon type and 2/3 utility skills. We have become so ungulfed in the meta that we are actually harassing players from playing a certain profession.

“Oh necromancer, worst in PvE”
“Two mesmers in one battleground? Might aswell go afk”
“Two thieves in one battleground? Might aswell lose right now”.
“Two elementalists, sure let every tournement team have two of these”.

Why are some professions still broken. Why are some mechanics still broken?
We have had beta tests for how long now? And most definetly they must have had inside testers?

Then how is it acceptable at all for some professions to be anywhere from 4-15% better, maybe higher then other professions? What is so hard about balancing this game?

And you as a community! We are suppose to be together. As one big messed up family. To hold developers accountable for what is happening to our game.
Pure whining posts need to go, instead we need constructive posts where we as a community go together and adress issues in a polite manner instead.
Is it because no matter how much time and effort someone puts into a post its gonna drown and become old news within a day and noone will remember it and devs would have never seen it?

To arenanet.

Thank you, your game is a coin with two sides. Its amazing, breathtaking.
Broken, unbalanced. You actually need to listen to your community.
You need developers to say something, anything. We are left in the dark here.
Come on! Talk to us! What is going on, are you gonna fix this, are you gonna fix that? What are we to expect? And how come it has taken SO long!.

I talked to a female streamer yesterday after mentioning the cool new pets.
And I said, you do know the pets are broken right? And she went
“Naah, they are not broken. They are amazing, and even so arenanet would fix that fast”.

so what does everyone think of scrapper?

Ive played tempest extensivly since the HoT release and after getting everything down the build is downright almost unkillable.
dagger/focus
Earth, air, tempest. Stability on overload, fire aura, frost aura, earth aura
The build got almost the same regen as d/d and dishes out good damage, while stunning and interupting the players.
See a player, run in knock em down with 5, air overload. See them wittle.

Sure its laughable weak, as it facetanks DH in traps, chrono mesmers, necromancers, revenants,thieves and warriors. But what do I know, I only have success while you gave looked on a forum for whiners

How does one counter dragon hunter?

in PvP

Posted by: Inflames.8026

Inflames.8026

What does one do when in a team fight as a dps and the dragon hunter teleports onto them?

You dodge out of the cluster, look at what you are seeing and judging based on that.
Be ready to save one dodge incase of traps, have afinger on a teleport/blink skill.
That is, if you think the teamfight is in your favor.

If not, get out of there. The dragonhunter is aslow and docile animal.

How does one counter dragon hunter?

in PvP

Posted by: Inflames.8026

Inflames.8026

First off, Ive been against just how strong Dragonhunter is from the start. They have amazing survivabilty coupled with some great escapes, high damage and onpoint denial.
To figure out how to deal with dragonhunters you need to identify each one.

Some dragonhunters run full traps. Their whole gimmic is to lock you inside it and watch you die.quick and painful. They usually run marauder with s/f LB and are suspectable to condition damage. Here is the kicker tho. Its deadly to even try melee them because of low cd traps and insane damage. Make them chase you, then condi bomb and evade them is my best option for this. They also have scary block on focus and reasonable fire damage stack outside of traps.

Best tools is condi bombing, or substain
Counter classes: scrapper, cele signet necro, tempest aura ele, another DH, PU mesmer.

The secound you are likely to phase is a GS LB medi DH.
This build offers quick burst with GS in range and the heavy LB nuke on far.
This build offers plenty condi clear and burn stacking and quite good survivabilty through aegis. They will run the arena trap and thats it so its much safer as long as you bring enough condi clear and burst to take them down.
The dragon hunter will try and use GS 5 and F1 to pull you through the ring.
Best tools is burst, stuns and interupts
Counter profession is : Shatter mesmer, pewpew ranger, reaper, scrapper and again other DH.

While most would agree that this DH counters thief hard, a really good thief can try and poke the DH down. Its certainly in the DH favor but possible.

Feel free to share more or if you disagree with me.

So, I was lucky enough to solo Q and face a full tryhard guild premade.
Fair enough, can still win.

Two tempest elementalists
1 shatter mantra mesmer
1 daredevil staff thief
1 Revenant.

Teamfight mid, alright no problem.

Tempest aura share and heal the entire team.
Both air specced, getting permastunned by air overload for 10 secounds.
Revenant hammer spam on target for 7 k crits
Mesmer shatter and spike for 7 k
Thief staff 5 for 8 k.

I dont care how much we outrotated them. The elementalists alone could hold the point and wait for reinforcement.
Never have I faced such an impossible matchup.
Whenever I would open on someone I would get chain rooted, stunned, interupted and then eventually killed off.

I have well over thousand games. I have never witnessed bigger cancer in a video game ever.

Who here have simular stories to share, show me your war scars.

Its funny how we say kitten is nerfed. Its barely touched. The socalled reaper nerf makes the reaper 10 times stronger then the rest instead of 15.
The DH had a tiny nerf to the elite trap which was 15 sec.
Druid on the other hand has been fixed alittle this time around.
Scrapper barely got touched. Yeah down to 60 per toughness stack. So instead of insane godlike hes a tiny bit less godlike.
pvp is pretty bullkitten tho.
No matter which side of the spectre you on, you are either lucky or not.

In all my 100+ games this week Ive seen an abundance of necro, rev, engie, chrono and Dh.
I see a little daredevil, some druids, some eles, and barely any warriors.

I am surprised you didn’t use a bear for this test… because you are playing worse than a bearbow (albeit with other pets) and complaining they do no damage.

You should re-title this thread “Bearbow don’t work in PvP”

This tread will get ignored by the devs because you are poorly using your pet and complaining it does no damage.

Archon is a living example why some guild wars 2 players will argue about the complete oppsite no matter what evidence you bring, if that is complete ignorance, trolling or low IQ we never know.

I seriously hope the devs actually take this to heart. If I was working on something and it was in this poor state I’d be embarrased and sad. C’mon, we actually need some kind of response on this, or has the developers been asked to be silent ever since Roy was forum devloper of the month.

Dragonhunter too easy.

Inflames.8026

Ive been pretty vocal on dragonhunter since the launch. The traps seem to zone people out quite easily and the damage seem high.

I’ve played dragonhunter myself , and against. Some professions seem to have little problems with guardian at all. Mainly good scrappers who block the traps and reflects, good chronomancers, ranged condi and some bunker professions such as cele condi druid and share aura tempests.

The thing it shines most at is killing thieves, warriors and overall anyone who dares to play zerker. Going from a handicapped warrior to a pretty well rounded guardian is a dream Im sure. But there are bigger fish in the pound.

Ive been banthering about dragonhunter alot, why? Because I felt the onstage presence was quite high and the traps were redicilous.

Even so, I gave dragonhunter a go. Went with sort of a trap medi guard build, probably the same as everyone else. Solid survivability, superb burst, decent onpoint burst.

The most satiesfying part is definatly the nr 2 hold and snipe on the bow. Gotten alot better with the nr 3 and condi bomb with nr 4 is great.
So far Ive been able to blow up alot of people, but still feel like highdmg pressure kills me quickly. I tried going full trap and even tho its fun to melt ppl the teamsupport was sort of out the window.

Thus I conclude that the trap is very gimmicy. Kind of like ranger trap, only with some extra boons instead and higher power pressure.
Overall the build is quite strong, with lots of boons and regen.The maw hits some, misses other but its a dodge well worth it and the 10 might is nothing to be mad about

C’mon this nerf is microscopic. You guys act like the whole class was ruined. Instead of weeping over a small but needed change think about those who didnt get jack kitten.
Like thief, ele, ranger and warrior.

Most of it is understandable. 15 extra seconds on Dragon’s Maw has once again reinforced that we’re only supposed to take Renewed Focus.

The elite is on a reletive short cd even with a meesly 15 cd extra.

You get to murder 5 people every 75 sec now instead of 60 or whatever it was

Dragonhunter is NOT fine, and the nerf is valid. The onpoint pressure of the DH is sickening and will prevent thieves from doing their jobs correctly. Furthermore gl trying to dodge traps in the middle of a teamfight. One DH comes from the side, put down traps, and boom you have 17k hp gone in a few sec if you play mesmer,thief, ele, ranger.
Stop being delusional. It is not healthy for the community.

There comes chrono melt you down in 2 sec? So whats the point of your qq?

So your argument for my “QQ” is to toss in some QQ of your own?

Lets keep a healthy discussion instead then. The trap DH got superb ranged pressure, coupled with invuln, health regen, retaliation, 8k heal on a 20sec CD, and short CD traps being able to kill anyone unlucky enough to stand in the traps for a few secounds.

Dont argue that “Hey profession Y is much more insane then profession X”. One kills you in 3 sec, the other in 2.

So why do you stand in it?Do you not have a keybind for dodge? One dodge eliminates all traps.
I just said if you qq bout this dmg I am telling you what chrono can do, or we can talk about Revenants awesome dmg or Reapers pressure dmg. Enough now?
You must realise that traps do not cure conditions, DH can’t beat pure condi dmg.

watch this and l2p.

Yes, your very famous keybind dodge argument. Bet that argument works on some but not me.

First off, don’t pretend like DH is fine. Biased players will defend the profession they play no matter the evidence. Secound, you say DH cant beat pure condi damage. That is ranged condi for you since you wont survive close encounter. Now how many profession runs ranged condi builds? Thats quite few. DH cancels out alot of professions and gets easy kills because the traps are too strong.

Scenario, you are fighting mid. Random team. DH comes from nowhere, drops elite into traps and your entire team wipes. Now how many professions does exactly that? Being able to kill 3-5 people in less then 4 secounds.

Please dont tell me dragonhunter is weak because all you gotta do is dodge the traps and that the strongest professions in the game is much better (reaper,rev,necro,scrapper). Go watch any twitch stream where people like Phanta, Caithh, Helseth. They pretty much kill everything but dh demolish them with traps when dropped out of nowhere.

The dragonhunter wont put down traps until you are close to him. You charge in with invuln. He waits it out, hook you with sword chain. He puts down the elite trap to stun you, then place every other trap ontop. He then yanks u in with the nr 5 and apply the F1 hook on you to further drag you in. What do you do? Your currently at 4k hp with 4 burnstacks, bleed and vuln stacks.

OP: please go into your control settings make sure you have the “dodge” key bound. Then, when you trigger a trap, press the key you just bound “dodge” to. For a real MLG pro-level strategy, not walking in and out of the big circle trap is advised.

A dragonhunter is standing on the point shooting you with the arrows. You need that point. What do you do?

Isnt that what most people say? I never lose to it, so its fine. Try some different classes. If you play the overly strong revenant, scrapper, chrono or rev the DH is probably just another cakewalk. If you however like to tourment yourself in spvp go for one of the more unlucky professions.

People say you cant 1v1 on thief. I can. Guess how many of those are kitten players. Yup.

I think Gaurdian Trap builds can be quite strong expecially if you don’t pay good attention to it. But I don’t think it’s overpowered. Most people either just dodge through it, or just go ranged. (If your class has that capability)

Correct, if you are capable to go ranged. If you however is a melee warrior, staff daredevil player where most of your burst comes from melee, because face it. Some shortbow harass does not work on a guardian that can deal 9 times that in return.
It kittens over almost all ele builds, it ruins double melee rangers, it destroys those poor melee guardians. It has 1 counter. Hardcore ranged condi pressure.

These traps are sort of like the necromancer wells. But instead they do twice the damage, roots you inside them with the ultimate.
The problem is, these traps are exellent for taking or keeping points because noone wants to run into them. From the cosy trapbase the dragonhunter can then do 7-9k crit shots to you, hook you into them with either the dh virtue or gs ability.

Yes, on paper dodging these traps seem very simplistic. But, the cd is low and you got around 8 sec to burst down the guardian before the traps are put down again. And we all know guardians dont die that quickly.

But by all means, DH is bad right? Right?

The dragonhunter as it stands is too powerful. The traps alone win fights , and its super easy to lock someone inside with the elite. The utility should be there to help a profession get kills, right now its more useful then the weaponset. I’m all for dragonhunter being good, but it is way too strong as it stands.
Think the guy above said enough about why.

So we have had two days now to probably test out a few builds, play a few different professions and experince the full force of something you have yet to fully grasp.

One thing is for certain. There is an overbunance of some classes, while other classes are near gone.
Purely based on what Ive seen people being able to do and play Ive put revenant, scrapper, reaper and chrono as the top favourite , while warrior, ranger and elementalist seem to be a little lacking. Ive read through a lot of these nerf posts and we should have a solid argument for what needs an improvement, and what could be toned down.
The top counter agument seem to be “l2p”. While I’m sure its valid at times I think its more constructiive to inform eachother why its easy to counter, what lacks ect.
I’m sure some people are trapped where their favourite profession is subpar and their experience gets sour in pvp.
Lets stop being cold to eachother and instead help eachother out.

Revenants, scrappers and reapers top 3. Followed by guardian, mesmer, warrior, ele, thief and at the bottom you have the ranger. With the same broken core mechanics.
A gutted elite spec that brings almost nothing. We got some cool pets tho. Guess its too strong when the pet actually does some damage.

Another poster with another post. First, if you played more then 1000 matches as thief and still cant win, you are doing something horribly wrong.
To be clear people, thief is viable, and you need to adapt and work for your kill. Stop blaming the game and improve your reflexes. Know what the enemy is running, find their weaknesses and take advantage of em. Keep in mind you will have some natural counters just like every other class.

Wanna know why? Because it takes extra planning, skill and knowledge to play thief , while everything else is just simply a dps filling.
There is always class based griefing.
Rangers bottom for pvp, necros arent allowed in dungeons. Thieves, engineers, and mesmers not top tier picks in WvW guilds, while the famous warr,guard, ele, necro shines.
But, thief is top tier pick in Spvp. Always. It has always had a place in dungeons, it has always had a good place in WvW roaming. And wvw guilds use thief for finishing downed player. Thief is in a good spot. Stop being negative. Instead go and try ranger for a day and see how you like it.

- rangers are bottom in tourneys, not actual ranked/unranked/hj (which is 99.99% of this game pvp)
- when was last time you did dungeons? I run them every day i have necro almost every run. They may not be as stupidly strong as eles and wars but they do just fine dps and bring their kind of team utility.
- not sure about wvw: when i was in wvw guild our GM cried that we don’t have enough mesmers for group stealth/golem rush etc. that i was actually forced to reroll mesmer

Also, i did play those classes besides ranger maybe (AI is just not my thing). My point stands: i was never harassed on those classes for just playing it, ironically no matter how crappy i played. Thief is only class i get griefed on consistently lately before i even get chance to fight.

Strange, I never get griefed on. Ahh well reroll, and be happy mate

There is no need for two thieves. Why? Because you only need one to run around and decap. The team rely on the thief to sort of roam around and do what I explained in my previous post. If you have two thieves doing the same thing, your team is at an disadvantage because now its 3v5 in teamfights.

Two thieves work in yoloQ when the opponent is kitten, because you just shut down everything.
Even you can understand this right? And I’m not justifying grieving. Iam explaining why you are getting grieved. Because you honestly thought it was about you being a thief

Thief main here ~
Running s/d sb~

And I love my job. I’m great at decapping points. I’m great at finishing off those who run away. And the best part?
I’m not a quitter. I find a good enemy player, no matter what class he choose to I try to 1v1 him if he is protecting points.
So far I dont think Ive lost against a single class/build.
Sure I kill them, and then they kill me. But atleast I can beat it about 70% of the time.
I’m not running stealth at all so the reveal is not something Iam afraid of.

All it takes is this:
See what your opponent team consists of.
Know what they are capable of
Know what build they run (usually after a first encounter you get a good feel for it)
Find out their weakness
Find their strength (What do I dodge? The 9k crit attack or an auto?)
Don’t suicide

Whenever I see more then two people going somewhere I leave the point. I can rarely win a 2v1 and Iam just wasting my time and the teams time. Instead I quickly rotate somewhere else, maybe mid has a few weakened enemies. Maybe far is unprotected.
Maybe I can just sneak around and decap the point the two enemies just took from me. Maybe I can steal creature. Maybe I can wear down a door real quick.
Maybe I can assassinate the treb guy and give my team an advantage.
Maybe 3 people chase me and actually think they can catch up to me. So I waste their time on a chase. You will never catch up to me. Never.

This is some of the tips I can give you. I find thief most enjoyable because it is quite versitile if you know how to play it

Do the finishers actually do anything?

I like how none of you understand what he means except for Edgar.

Finishers are just a cosmetic look. Some pick one to troll the opponent.
Others pick something that fits their theme.
Good luck and have fun out there

There once was a small community
Skills nowhere to be seen.
They begged and they cried
Some of em died
But none plucks were given that day.

Wait!? At about the minute mark do you start a stomp, shadow step away and continue the channel, then undo the stance and shadowstep back to land the finisher?!
Cause that’s a really smart play!

Welcome to GW2! Yes shadowstep stomp is something you should practice.
Mesmers also do the same with portal stomps. If the enemy blinks away from you. IE a mesmer downed on the ground, or a thief you can also secure the kill with steal. Or any types of blink like mesmers and ele has.

Since I didnt know you I sort of expected a kitten guy running around in WvW trying to gank scrubs. What I got instead was a really good roaming video of a guy with a ton of thief knowledge and that editing! If others put half as much time in making the song sync with the playstyle. All in all I’m quite impressed, and then it hit me. Your in the guild [Rekt] with the big guys. Afro is probably watching the video and smiling to himself saying “Dat mah boy, rekking wiv teef”

10/10 :]

This is what happens ever since launch.

-New player enters pvp. Gets rekt by thief.
cant be a l2p issue, class must be broken.
-Tries thief in pvp and gets kitten on.
cant be a l2p issue, class must be broken.
3 months later
-Thief easy to defeat, found counter.
-New player enters pvp. Gets rekt by thief…_

Yup ragequits all over the place. I think 3 out of 10 matches are peope just quitting Much fun for both teams. Luckily you wont find them when the new pvp system is implemented. They are gonna kitten eachother.

Just had a 4v5 scenario. My teammate dc’d 10 sec before the match and nowhere to be seen. Me and my team were like “Well, lets just do the best we can and have fun..”.
We ended up winning. And not by alittle either. 502- 258 to be exact.
Never give up. Never surrender. Always give it ur best.

I understand that irl issues are forgiving or if the internet /power dies. It happens.
Just give it your best. No whining, no crying. No namecalling. Just be a decent human being and have fun. You be suprised how many friends you get with an attitude like that.

And are you grumpy, get enough sleep and eat :]

these are the worst posts

1- they bring up they dont want to be in a game where they will lose ……….
2- the want people to sub and there is a million problems with the sub idea yet they still post it.
3- Other players have posted that they dont want to get the pressure from pug team mates to quit when they might be trying a new build/having fun/are new/ etc etc etc but this doesnt seem to fly in to the resign players heads.

4-lastly your a quitter, how can anybody take a quitters comment seriously. When anything goes wrong people write gg. We lost a mid fight its over gg, they stole beast gg, they got trang gg. NO the match isnt over, how about this…….. finish the match.

Pretty much this, Ive had a couple of quitters. One of em I faced in the next game and we just killed him repeatedly. Never has there been such satiesfaction!
Anyway, if you cant handle a competive game, or losing, or simply don’t have time you dont join spvp. I know you do regardless tho. You don’t care about anything but yourself.

Thanks for these changes. The whole idea of getting a staff was to be able to finally 1v1 people again. Why give us a bruiser option if we are still only forced to decap /finish off weak enemies ect.

This makes me seriously thinking about focusing on thief after all. .:)
