Thieves are not a viable class anymore, they have next to no defense and are now so far down the dps run that killing anything with this class is extremely hard, especially if its a squishy (lol) caster.
In fact, mezmers have better stealth than thieves now, and with the addition of titles displayed its near impossible to tell them apart from their clones.
Thief has taken a damage reduction, backstab damage has dropped considerably, crit damage has been nerfed, stealth is near useless, theres more bugs than i care to mention. Combine this with their low survivability and you have a class which should be wearing a big hat, a red nose and some big shoes.
What, I ask, were you thinking?
We are in danger of having a game full of necro’s and elementalist at this rate, very very very poor job on the balance.
even blizzard could do better than this and thats saying something.
Hopefully we will see better balance in the next beta.
