Ya AOE nerf right? SO it is time to switch to Thief and make it ThiefWar, Since A net never think that Thief 3 button 15k damage is OP but Bunker Ele is.
Maybe because thieves, to do their 15k damage combo, have to spec glasscannon and become squishy as hell while d/d bunker eles, as i said many times have:
the best mobility, great survivability, and a good (also aoe) damage, obtained through very powerful conditions (burning does a good damage even without a condition build) and direct damage.
As if that were not enough they have great CC (stun – knockdown – chill).
So to go back in topic I think that they do not need a larger HP pool, unless something is ripped away.
I really lazy to feed you so, i simply copy and paste this to you:

Before I say anything I would just like to say that I have played thief and I understand what the class is capable of doing.
A lot of people in this post don’t seem to realise that the issue isn’t only the damage, but the fact that thieves can come in at any point in the fight and insta gib / stomp someone before the rest of the team can react and that is really bad game design and not really enjoyable for players on the receiving end.
There is little you can do to stop a thief from one shoting a player who is already engaged in combat with another player and than getting insta stomped by quickness.
What people fail to understand is it makes little to no difference how much toughness the thief has, if you can’t hit him in the first place or the fact that he can disengage most fights at will.
If you wish to compare thief to other glass canons your going to find that they are far more effective, because they are harder to kill, harder to stomp, harder to keep track of and they deal a lot more damage than other glass canons; so overall they are more effective than any other glass canon build in every single way.
I do agree that thief burst needs to be toned down, or made in a way that it is possible to react to, because atm this game is a lot less fun not only for the hardcore players but also the casual who wants to log on for a few hours and have fun with game, instead of getting insta killed over and over.
Simply said, it makes me laugh that people try and argue the fact thats its okay to have an “Insta kill” ability because you have a window of 0.3 seconds to react to it.
Insta kill should not exist in any video game and detracts from the fun of the game, hopefully Arena net address this issue at the nearest time frame possible.
Go to state your point in this thread, i am done with any thief player in this room.
No to all.
If you want to Nerf Aoe damage, then how about other class that have Superior Single Burst like Thief? This is greatly indirect buff to them.
Going to dead, since A Net have no clue to balancing the game, all they did is Nerf, and now you see the joke’s AOE Nerf coming soon.
Limiting targets on AoE to 5 means they should elevate the damage up not nerfing it down lol. What is the point of taking trait for larger AoE attacks…?
GW – Guilds of Warriors?
Nope, It become the Meta of Thief since they can do so the single highest burst damage with 3 button like 15-16k, so might as well rename it to ThiefWar
Reasonable, since aoe damage is getting nerf then there is no point for thief still holding the highest burst damage in game.
Unless A Net is going to make this game Name ThiefWar2(?)

No worries, you’re one of many fotm thieves who don’t bother to learn the game and want free kills. Looks like we’ll be seeing you around here often!
Oh man, plzz dont feed the troll, or better say dont feed the thief? These thief will just constantly qq and the best way to do is ignore them.
Nerfed healing: check
Nerfed condition removal: check
Lowest base hp: check
Lowest base armor: check
melee range: check
Long CD on stun breakers: check
No class specific damage mitigation mechanics: check (except auras maybe)
Obvious burst sequence that doesn’t hit as hard as other burst: checkOk I get it now. Eles should be free food like they were a few months ago. Oh wait a second, they can still run away. Silly me.
QFE (quoted for emphasis)!
If eles run away, it means they need breathing room (aka about to die). Should say something about their current state. Pay attention to how often it happens.
This is unacceptable! No one else should be able drop the bomb, and getaway so easily and reset the fight other than the thief! The thief should only be the most annoying class! Why are you d/d eles taking that away from thieves????
Make me lol hard! Ya thats why the most QQer who complain Ele is OP is come from Thief player if you check carefully, Thief should be the only one who have highest survivability(Stealth), mobility(SB), Burst damage(D/D D/P) and condition damage(P/D) in this game!
(edited by Joe.1394)
Life steal on Fire or Air trait can be useful to increase survivability.
Fact of the day: Those who complain how Elementalist is OP blah blah bah, 99% of them come from a single profession: Thief. And we have a example here >> Daendur.2357
Seriously i dont get why those thief player hate ele so much, or this is a new trick to cover the TRUE OP class in GW2?
My elementalist will just right without those noob thief’s QQing.
The issue with the D/D build is not just about mobility, it is when you combine that mobility with the burst damage potential (15k AoE from the standard combo), support potential (including heals), and tanking potential that a D/D has.
1v2 isn’t special or even tough as a D/D ele. Go for a 1v5+, burst down someone while tanking with 22k health, 2800 armor and 10 seconds of Protection and then stomp them in Mist form and RTL away. That is when you see just how broken this spec is (Especially when using Reaper of Grenth).
Seriously, enough of these BS which post by thief player who have 0 sense abt ele, what happen to those thief player now? They just sneak in Ele’s forum and make some BS thread to complain how “OP” ele is when they cant defeat a bunker ele? People need to stop feeding these troll. Just check their post and make sure where they from and stop replying these noob thief player. These noob thief player really making ele’s forum worst.
