Guild Wars 2

Nike.2631:

Have you tried Dagger Storm? A long duration missile reflect could let you close the distance in complete safety.

this would work great if Dragonhunters did not have an unblockable ranged pull on F1

I knew there was a use for staff on Thief thanks for not letting me down!

Nice video, looked like alot of fun, shame there was no equally skilled enemies in the ones that came to that camp though, would have made the video a bit more interesting.

Thanks we had fun, too bad at our tier finding equally matched fights are near impossible especially since most of the half decent players on other servers are playing mesmers which usually just leads to long boring chasing of them all perma invising and trying to burst you when you get tired of chasing them for a fight.

Lil Background: Mained thief since 3-day headstart involved in tpvp also since then, Avid WvW roamer, don’t pve because stacking is boring.
So because I have played thief for almost 3 years now this is the first time I have ever felt cheated in terms of balance. As a thief I have a low health pool, sure it’s low but prior to the most recent trait patch and vigor nerf, I had access to dodge rolls if I wanted to be survivable. Now that vigor is 50% endurance regen and we no longer have feline grace but instead our vigor is 50% increased which 50% of 50% is 25 so if I go into acro line I get 75% endurance regen on vigor this isnt even what the old vigor value was prior to its nerf. Sure I can play signet of agility for 2 extra dodges every 30 seconds, but then I have to give up a break stun which against your new mesmer trait. YEAH the one that gives them instant cast stuns on one of the shortest cooldowns. Experienced this in a tpvp match against 3 mesmers, normally a thieves treat to fight so many mesmers, Wrong they stunlocked me so hard with one skill and once I was out of my 2 stun breaks they would finish me off (shadowstep,infiltrator signet) with the lack of dodge rolls it was nearly impossible to escape 9 stuns from their mantras combined but also they had moa form and their signet of domination I believe which is a 3 second stun in itself. Mesmers also stealth the same if not more than a thief does currently I haven’t looked into what allows them to stealth more often now but it is very noticeable. I am not sure thieves need buffing but I am positive mesmer, necro, guardian all need another look taken at them as they all can at this very moment do a thief’s job better and safer.
Thief also has some of the worst condition removal their only reliable condition removal is Shadow Arts cleanse 1 condi every 3 seconds in stealth which generally means I have to sit in stealth a long time(15 seconds for 5 conditions [Burn,Poison,Bleed,Confusion,Torment]) I dont even cleanse chill cripple immobilize anymore. I have to run withdraw or roll for initiative for those clears. Oh and the clear 1 condition on use of a trick that trait made me laugh for a solid minute when you come to realize no one uses tricks on thieves and it is only 1 condition (Ranger clears 2 on use of a survival skill which they actually use). Sure I can play thief and just back cap on conquest but if I can’ sustain in a teamfight as long as another class who does the same burst damage if not more than myself what is the point of playing it? Currently I have gone to warrior full zerk GS Ax/Sh who at the moment due to the buffs to rush and leap skills can out run my thief, out dps my thief, out tank my thief all at the same time. Thief either needs an overhaul to their survivability and mobility aspects or other classes need to be tuned back down to bring thief back into decent gameplay.

Shout out to Fos = MVP of this guild

Whether this was about you fighting a warrior in spvp or in Wv3, (I did not look extensively), as a thief if you play pistol offhand and steal to this warrior drop your black powder then use the stolen ability you blind spam like crazy the only way he can counter is with berserker stance, so logic has it wait until he blows berserker stance then whirling axe+smoke field= blinding bolt and after this keep on the pressure. I would open up a fight always with a HS warrior with a choking gas from shortbow then the most important part is make sure you actually land the steal. This is my thought process on the fight, this is how i beat all warriors. Goodluck in the future.

I nominate Mayoken For the best Commander From Stormbluff Isles.
He is constantly in different voice channels communicating with several other commanders to coordinate how to effectively use our players in the Map to hold points. No he is not perfect but as most say WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. Our allied Commanders are also very good at their job but Mayoken Gets the Job Done and knows when to move in and when not to.
