Alts: Lv80 Necromancer, Lv80 Mesmer
[GoF] Blackgate
(edited by Kiro.3164)
I’ve been a thief since I started playing gw2 . it’s been a couple years but I STILL only have 1 lvl 80 character, haven’t completed the story at all, aaaaaaand hardly have done any map completion ^^; embarrassing yes but I love wvw and spvp
Same here, closest toons I have to 80 are a Lv65 Guardian and a Lv54 Necromancer.
(I been gone for a full year and that necro was level 1 on friday, lets just say I got sucked back into GW2…)
I found the combat of the other classes too slow for my taste,and for whatever reason I enjoy necro more than thief now.

I play a P/D and SB condi bunker thief. I also swap out to a zerker thief D/D and S/P or SB..
Its preference/playstyle, imo the thief has a lot of useful traits and abilities… it would be a shame to not utilizes them. Experiment!
Sometimes people take /wave as a threat lol. Any emote is the equivalent of a threat actually. PvP is PvP.
Its not illegal, just really dishonorable.
Or, (and i know this is going to sound crazy) instead of being any form of gem store purchase. You could actually obtain them by, wait for it… Playing the content?
/rant
Why would any one do that?
+1 it would be nice to have an insane meta for them or at least a skill based achieve I guess.
I got the Jetpack from the Molten Alliance. If the tower is a decent enough instance, count me in.
My fear is it will be locked behind RNG temporary content, or BL keys… If neither is true then I will be happy. Even if it’s bad RNG perma content. Let me earn this over time and I’ll be extremely happy.
I bet more on a gem-purchasing, just like it was for Braham’s and Rox’s weapon skins
Id be okay with that. RNG sucks
I need that dagger. Lol
I want it. So bad. I asked an anet Ingame and they didnt know. ;-;
Here I have complied a list of cheese
1. Swiss
2. Cheddar
3. Condition Mesmer
4. Provolone
5. P/D thief
6. White American
7. Colby Jack
8. Every brand of Warrior
9. D/P Thief
10. Pepper Jack
by the gods every single party i go as soon some kid is downed he rage quits if not someone else requests a kick
or worse if someone asks somethign as simple as Who’s gonna tank the fire eles on the ooze part he gets kicked cuz to the others he’s a “noob”
really people what is wrong with you you want everything handed to you without putting effort nor learning nor letting others learn about the content?
Its always been this way. Fotm… no GW1… exactly then same.
I dont mind explaining fights and think everyone should learn to do the content. Simply saying… its always been like this.
(More proof: CoF Zerk War groups only, Tequatl failing, and dungeons in adventure mode.)
Granted the cof runs have stopped because the loot nerf, but there is still a ton of elitists
There ya go champ
Mind blown =D
There ya go champ
Everyone is so cranky today. Since I started this thread, I declare that it is on topic to post a silly .gif or picture of kitties, babies, or something to make people laugh hysterically or go ‘aaawwwww’! To lighten the mood.
I’d like to kindly remind all T1 players to please keep their trash kittening within the confines of their own threads. Thank you.
Wasnt talking trash. I complement a commander, get asked how TB is doing … then told Im trash talking.
To be honest I didn’t actually read your post, I just saw it was from a T1 player and made a pretty safe assumption.
tl;dr Im a former SBI, left a very long time ago. Replyed to Bannok and Gravy. Then get chewed by star(radioactive).
Didn’t and doesnt surprise me.

Poor TB, they left to Dragonwagon and then the wheels of the wagon came tumbling off, just as SBI became Stormhaven’s Rest of Madness with the many transfers. When you guys went to Blackgate though I was pretty sure Blackgate lost one of it’s biggest SEA guilds to JQ which may be indicative of bad things to come for them as well. Good luck on BG, I’m sure they can entice (pay) more people to join their queue fests.
On a related note. We had a really fun time playing the 30 or so full on minion masters in Maguuma Borderlands last night that were camping SBI spawn. It’s a hilarious strategy and I applaud the efforts.
Cant wait for SBI to hit gold even more now.
Yes, I can’t wait to see you talk kitten about how you are beating us in PPT. I don’t care if we lose to Blackgate by 300k points, I’ll be out there to fight every night regardless of the score. I hope that you don’t forget where you came from and don’t develop the Tier 1 ego that comes from coverage and PPT.
But whatever, if that’s what makes you guys happy you were good members of the SBI community while you were here, so whatever makes you happy makes me happy. Even if its PPT hugging.
Im not the one who will be doing that. When have I ever talked trash about SBI?
And where the Hell did that kitten come from.
Edit: T1 ego? Lolwat.
I actually can solo camps still
I question the value of someone’s viewpoint when one of their highlights is soloing a camp.
God this is so lame. Take someone out of context for a post. I heard Mag was like this but until I’d seen it in detail I had no idea how infantile it was.
Again I will stop for fear of child abuse but guys……find another angle……ironically perhaps is your highlight of the week….. Taking our Garrison……once. 3 pages of ‘chest thumping’. Come on…..really?
Though Mag was all about roamers, and small cough zergs. So, why are you knocking a fellow roamer?
we aren’t knocking a fellow roamer, we are knocking someone who is applauding themselves for what is a basic task of even some with the most average level of aptitude, what is concerning here is that you haven’t grasped that.
^ no roamer I know would consider taking a camp solo as noteworthy or even challenging.
When I said I can still solo camps. I meant I dont get rolled by blobs as much as I thought I would. PvX is great in t1 but some times taking a camp is relaxing.

ppt roamers r best roamers
This week I cant, JadeBlob and Sanctum of Bags are zerging everywhere lol
Point invalidated by OP.
The only time anyone ever solos anything in T1 is because there are no less than 4 sets of orange swords elsewhere on the map calling all zerglings back to their motherships.
As a thief, zergs kill me faster than PvX. But yea, following a BG tag will get you some badges. All the cool kids flock to it.
Badges….Badges….We don’t need no stinking badges.
Exactly.

I like roaming. Lol and the fact that I dont have to let the zerg wait to cap a camp when they can just run in and get siege.
We were screwed by transfers once and survived, I am sure if it happens, we will again. The general consensus was we wanted to stay in the mid tier’s, that changed, we cant change it now. Not all of us wanted our transfers back, especially me and a whole slew of the WvW’ers that showed up every day for the T1->T5 fall . Some did, and thats their opinion. Thats not SBI’s as a whole.
If we make it to gold, we do, if we dont then we dont. If we continue to rise, we continue to rise, if we fall, well you get it. I am 99% sure those people who stayed after the first exodus are going to remain if it happens again. There is no question we will get decimated in gold, and I like to think it will help us all improve.
Im still glad we had this match up, even with you trolling Mags, I always had a soft spot for you guys, and FA has been pretty awesome as well. It has been a pretty great match, and its helped already. Going from Sat/Sun/Mon of getting curb stomped in EB to wiping both zergs past 2 nights means we’re doing somewhat better. Its been fun.
Looks like it will happen. One more week to know for sure. Good luck SBI! <3
Final Update: The Dreamer has been made and soulbound to my thiefy.
Thousands of hours and hundreds of gold into the forge and still no precursor. I read this thread and the very next day I get this from a trash mob in low level fractals. I just went there to get 18 more tokens to finish my backpack.
Holy.
You’re forgetting a major utility skill here… Shadow Step.
Legendary Update #3:
Weapon: The Dreamer
What I need:
- The Lover (precursor)
- 48 Ecto tokens.
I have lost all hope in the mystic toilet. Tonight I burn 1 more 100g then I’ll start saving for TP purchase.
It hurts.
Edit: update I hate this game ;-; mf’d 250 rare short bow for the 10th time… I could have bought 2 The Lover’s by now…
(edited by Kiro.3164)
Currently need 2 things and Ill make The Dreamer.
1. The Lover
2. 80-120 ectos.
I say 80-120 because I do boss dailies.
So I got 3 armor exo’s today all about 2-5g each. Its my first 3in about a month
As for the ectos, Im 137/250.
I mf rare short bows for a pre chance. I have yet to get that,‘oh snap so close’ feel.
Diem dreamer feels.
All I need is ectos and The Lover. ;-;
Feels like Ill never make my legendary.
gz on bifrost
I logged in to see this little bug after the little patch we just had.
I chuckled a bit.
wrong there is rewards on each phase , 75,50,25,kill 4 loot boxes kitten !!
Hot.
I got the jump the wave achievement by accident. I saw the wave jumped and boom. Didnt check the achieves till after the fight failed.
Well done BG, saw the news on facebook before I hit the sack.
Have any others downed him yet?
All the r34 has got to ANet.
I actually believe that the current stealth mech fits rangers most or will fit them better.
-It isnt a nerf, but a completely new stealth mechanic.
This is permanent stealth and will only get revealed if hit by aoe, but remember there will be visual cue/s like footprints for an example since we already have that feature on legendary weps, it should be easy to incorporate that to this skill.
-Swinging a weapon isn’t aoe.
-Ragnarok did have aoe spammers too, but it worked. You will see bigplays from stalkers calling the whole guild into emp room. Promotes sneakiness on thief and smart play, not just oh im dying > Bam! stealth skill easy getaway with players getting away unpunish from having complete disregard to positioning and absolutely removing the “risk” factor.
Once more, play a thief. Its almost a compliment if you get a thief to run away while you have full health. Only the ones that come back 10-20 times think they are leet360noscopemlgbackstab.
Not to mention how mobile we are with sb and shadow step. We don’t need stealth to gtfo…
Thieves aren’t hard to predict. Play one to 80 and you’ll see.
Only a fool would need this mechanic. And as said above, WvW is AoE Central, I would just spec warrior and be done if that happened. (Or elem)
+1 needs to be sticky
Old thread revived.
Ironically enough I know a few people that still run around in rares on their alts. I mean everyone has a main toon they like the most. Also I think exos and rares will drop in price, but only ones that are 2.5g+. And ectos will keep them from crashing too hard.

Happy Birthday GW2 <3
I remember logging in to GW2 BWE1 ;-; thanks for the memories and living story keeping this game alive.
Can’t wait for it first expansion, and more awesome content.
Keep up the good work ANet
Hello, I´m running a glasscannon elementalist in tPvP and on 1o1 servers from time to time. Now, when ever I loose to a evade thief he insults me and says I´m a noob for not beating him and that I have to time my attacks.
I really getting sick of chest thumpers as well. A good fight is a good fight. As soon as they gloat, even if they beat you, they’ve lost.
i want legendary too , but precursor is so expensive ;(
All I need is Gift of Might, Gift of Magic, and The Lover. (Halfway done with both my final gifts)
I know that feel.
So I was thinking that it would be amazing if backstab cleaved your target so that D/D is more viable in large group fighting instead of single target!
Also could we buff heartseeker in anyway? Make it a 1200 range leap finish or something?
Lol are you high?
If ANet did 1200 range to HS… so many people would QQ for days.(implying they said it wouldn’t be nerfed within 24hrs)
For PVE. I pretty much use a high int build with lots of dodges and swiftness. Using short bow as the main weapon for AOE trash pack damage and instances that requires a lot of evasion whilst using D/P for single target, melee situations, blind tanking and interrupts.
0/30/10/30/0
While it isn’t a stealth build. Blinding powder, shadow refuge, black powder/HS combo all come in handy for condition removal.
Gear should be no other than full berserker to obtain the best possible damage.
Damage mitigation through blinds and dodging, nice.
I run d/d s/d roaming, d/p s/d when duo, s/p d/d when in 4-5, and d/d with sb if Im in a 10+.
Cant say what utilities I use, because honestly I use all of them depending on the situations.
0 30 30 10 0
(edited by Kiro.3164)
Is this a joke that I dont get?
The way I see it is if you think that the thief get nerfed. You’re crazy.
Just by respecing after a major nerf can make us “op” in the eyes of any new player. Experienced pvp/wvw players can predict our every move even with stealth. It really isnt that hard to do.
I am also looking for a build for fractals and dungeon. I’ve been using 30/0/0/20/20 that I threw together while leveling but I don’t know if its good.
You could go full Condi if you get the gear, trinks, and sigils that apply bleeds on crit. But it would be a 0/30/0/20/20
No no no pls no….. no condition build for arah or fotm!
Try 30-30-10-0-0 or 25-30-10-0-5 or 25-30-0-0-15
Good to hear. I run 20 30 0 0 20 pve and 0 30 20 20 0 wvw

Signet of Malice + Shadowstep + Daggerstorm + Shadow Return = Profit
Shadowstep 1200, you are the ranged weapon.
also as said above, trait Long Reach, I have it and it’s amazing.
Can stay longer and hurt a zerg more if you have 20 in trick and trait ricochet. What you’ve said, I do.
Naturally as long as a static doesnt get tossed on me…
D/P is too easy, and all D/P thieves make me really really angry.
Nothing like a good ol’ bask venom to detroy a pesky d/p thief. Honestly, CC’s destroy glass d/p thieves.
