Guild Wars 2

If you don’t have an enemy targeted, the orb goes nowhere. Or am I doing it wrong

I would like to join this guild.

Lol! I has good laugh

Why don’t we have the same mechanic as tf2… when thieves get hit with a condition like burning or poison, u see their silhouette… this way everyone can thief check without making new skills for this…and thieves still keep their stealth mechanic

Engineer… that’s what i’m doing in college lol

Penguin.5197:

“They can be very fragile if you counter their stealth with area of effects or large stacks of conditions, " I like how you used condition damage yet you can’t really kill them in this game, shows how much devs are biding by their own guidelines.

But to be back on topic, What utilities did you have equipped? Imo standing on your own mine is one of the safest ways to avoid getting backstabbed.
What I usually carry in wvw though is elixir s/net turret/a kit (Which one depends on how little I give a kitten that day) and a rifle. I find that netting them with any of my 3 nets guarantees me that I know where they are, so even if they turn invisible I can go to their location, blunderbuss, jump shot and overcharge their health to very little. Then when I know they are about to run away, and they stealth I drop a supply crate in the general direction of which way they were last running. Sometimes I down them, sometimes I don’t, but without any hard counter to stealth thats probably the best we will ever be able to do so far.

Also don’t use condition damage on thiefs, their Hide in Shadows heal skill cures burning, poison, AND bleeding. Making condition damage pretty useless against them.

yeah, this sounds great as well.. I’m just already specced for cond/tough/prec so i can’t really use a rifle haha.. fighting thieves are so annoying

dang… I guess the best I can do is aoe spam with grenades, but i don’t use that kit… and i do try to stack conditions but he/she would dodge so frequently and our kitten pistol misses half the time. then they would slip into stealth again. I think my real problem is that my build is pretty defensive, so it’s my fault

i’m not worried about the backstab or w.e cause i have a lot of cc

i’m running a cond/tough/prec build with emphasize on stacking conditions with critical hits

1) i’m running pistol/shield – magnetic shield to push them off and static shield to stun them
2) elixer gun-“aoe” poison, aoe heal, and gtfo skill
3) flamethrower – “aoe” burn and bleed with crit, air draft to push them away, and smoke vent
4) tool kit – 3 second block, magnetic pull, bar to the face, and cripple

I don’t have a problem with taking the hits cause i can easily use any kit to control the thief… I guess my build is too defensive.

btw, thanks for responding and not saying “l2p” lol

first off, i’m not talking about d/d thieves or p/d thieves… only d/p

For example, today I had a duel with a thief for at least 6-9 minutes, I used my drop supply 2-3 times which has a 180 sec cd, and I couldn’t manage to kill him/her. This is basically what happens….

thief-
stone venom
backstab
blinding powder + hs = stealth
wait in stealth for 3-4 seconds for that regen
rinse repeat

if i stack confusion on them, they wouldn’t attack, so a tankcat build wouldn’t work on a smart thief. They’d just use that opportunity to regen with steath or w.e

I eventually lost cause their zerg came

I’m not qqing that I lose to these guys, but i’m qqing because I can’t seem to finish them off because they just run away when they’re too low and re-engage when they back up to 75%-100% hp… I can easily wittle them down with my conditions…
What I normally try to do is flamethrower or poison them with the elixer gun when they’re in stealth but they regen too much in stealth.

any pro engineers out there?

Ranger in GW1 was really awesome…you actually had a sense of importance and you had a role.

Rangers in GW2 feel too much like a DPS only class… all you do is deal damage whereas in GW1, interrupting casters was a rush and had a sense of reward for doing so. If you stopped a mesmer from using a skill, say diversion, you basically did a HUGE favor for your team. You could also spike on called targets if need be.

Rangers in GW2 just feels bland… dps dps dps… Since everyone can go the dps role, rangers don’t really have anything to define them as anything. That’s why I like playing guardian… I feel important.

I swear there’s someone inside Arenanet who is purposely putting these exploits in as a favor to one of his friends that play. No way can they make this many mistakes in one game in this short of a time period.

dude, i twas thinking the same thing man… what a coincidence…

friend-“hey man… i need some money for my legendary..think you can hook me up?”

anet-“yeh bro lemme just code this ‘exploit’ real quick… it’s gonna happen around 2 o clock and u got a 3 hour window to do this before my co workers find out and fix it.. have fun”

friend-" thanks brosif… ’ppreciate it"
