Yup, I’m sure a number of you faced the same problem of obtaining it. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stalwart_armor it says here that it’s currently unobtainable, back then, I remembered that it could be obtained from the personal story (level 40) but it seems I’ve passed the choice or something. Basically, I’ve tried every option I have to get this beauty and still can’t get it. Even bought a new slot to get this baby cause I didn’t want to delete any of my current characters. Medium armor ranger Sylvari, nothing wrong right?

I don’t really have much to say in terms of my personal skill play but I’ve been a consistent main Thief pvper ever since I’ve started (prefer over WvWvW cause of the consistent fights) playing gw2. After going through so much nerfs I’ve come to a conclusion that the best defence is offense, yet again you won’t be able to do much once you die in like two hits.
Solution, this trickery buff build. Only difference between this and the standard d/p pack/vamp are the utilities. You don’t really have to view the build link as the only difference are truly the utilities. With this build, I’m surprisingly able to stand against most elite classes, reapers, scrappers etc etc. The only ones I couldn’t stand, like what you’ve stated above are DH and Tempest (take forever to kill). Double stunbreak with 2 condition clears as well as initiative/quickness uptime. So meh, YUM.
Not sure whether I should switch and focus my main to Revenant or not as it seems to be at a really volatile state. It maybe worthy though as Roy seems to be a really legit developer. The only thing that is keeping me on Thief are emotional attachments I’ve spent on him these past few years.
Freedom of movement is why I played and stayed by Thief through all the years even if it couldn’t keep up with other classes in terms of competitive play. I’m like a faithful husband to this class. I never really choose Thief because of its Assassin theme, no I choose it cause I’ve never felt like this with all the other classes. I felt free, an explorer of the game machenics. In a way I also think that this class is making a sacrifice for the others to not be neglected. Alright let’s put it this way, Thief gets super OP (mobility aside), NO one else(majority as least) would be dull enough to pick other classes. Think about it, who doesn’t want to be Ezio from Brotherhood with initiative machenics.
I am sorry man but you just killed me with some descriptions. Thank you for good laugh xD
Looks quite accurate to me. Add some burn guards in the list. Oh and other thieves ofc.
Please make such list for pvp…
Updated. Two things for hotm, shortbow 5 and two thieves in a losing team(Ranked). Somehow I think the thief’s elite is called the Daredevil is because it’s a Dare when you duel any competent player using a good build/class. sobs marketing and the things Ive spent on Thief.
Other than hiding in keeps for a few minutes and keeping blobs at bay what are the advice for facing competent players. I know you might say learn from your mistakes but tell me something I don’t know. I’m going to make a list of classes I’ve faced in WvWvW and how I’ve been dealing with em.
Mediation Guard GS/Scepter-feel like I’m getting mocked
Bunker Guard- unmovable object
Burn Guards- BURNNNN!!!
Celestial elixir/kit engineer- run away
Condition Engineer- Not worth the trouble
Statis Discharge- still have to be aware
Celestial Elementalist D/D- NOPE
Staff back line Elementalist- Kill it
Fresh Air Elementalist- Can pose a real threat when duelling
Shatter PU power Mesmer- kitten these guys can be tough
PU condition Mesmer- nerf it!
Tank healing Mesmer- Clown
Power Necromancer- Fair game but dangerous if you don’t know how to face Life Force.
Condition Necromamcer- very tough if you don’t run SA shadow’s Embrace.
Power Ranger- Free loot bag
Condition Survival Ranger Carrion/ Celestial- HOW?! Don’t step on traps. T-T tough
Warriors- the good ones are just wow… they kill you with SWAGGY GS HB
Revenant- hahaha
Power Thief D/P- Empathy
Condition Thief- Desperation
New kitten Specialisation- Get your corpse jumped on childishly once they’ve used you to wipe the floor. Available to all players.
I get that it’s not all about duelling but I’d like to see what you guys think about the current Thief/Daredevil state. I don’t really have much to say about facing specialisations yet cause I haven’t really went deep into all of em. Bla bla bla, balance bla bla short bow 5 bla bla
Nope, it is the same client. Just login with his account-details and it should work.
Nope, forum posting requires buying the game.
Thanks for the quick reply but my brother still can’t log in with his account through the old client. We made cure everything was ride countless times.
Do I have to install gw2 setup again for my free account(yes the account where you sign up for free)? Cause I really want my brother to try the game out himself on his “free account”. Another question would be. Is he able to log into the forums?
Still very very glassy though. Pick your fights wisely I guess. Especially against anti melee builds like condition survival Rangers or Celestial Dagger Elementalist.
Well I guess they could be turning into something like the Revenant where they’ll do what ever they can to secure victory. Although I’d much prefer it if they added more physical skills that made sense like how the current warrior works. I know things like Earthshaker may be extreme but it’s still better than Flaming Flurry in my perspective.
Warriors in GW2 have always used magic, the typical Orrian citizen used magic (to a much higher degree since their proximity to the gods granted them immense magical power) for self-augmentation, fishermen would carry cargo that would break bulls for example, merchants would levitate their goods to put them on display, every single class in the game uses magic.
This is a simple question really. So what’s the lore between two Revenants facing each other off at once while having the same legends equipped? Do the legends answer different calls between different people? Do they give the person the like more an advantage? I know that this is just a game but I’m just deadly curious with what kind of answers I’ll get. Would Shiro flirt with attractive toons? Ironhammer “Buns of stone”. I think Malyx the Demon would be fed up with a 150 players per server channelling him.
Any special thing about the date for any of you guys out there? LOL just wanted to shout this thing out. Not gonna expect anything but I was wanna state that Hot and I are meant to be together :‘) and the new Daredevil (main thief) is just a dream come true… All I wish for from A-Net is to please not nerf this spec too hard. PLEASE. I know that my birthdate doesn’t mean kitten but I seriously wish that Anet would be easier on Thief.
I hate male norns – that will forever be the only combination I’ll never have. It’s like running behind a walking fridge. Human male thieves are my favourites. Female Sylvari are good too, male are a bit stiff and Asura and Charr are more for fun than for competitve play, although I find it pretty annoying to fight an Asura in wvw.
I couldn’t agree more with this statement! LOL walking fridge. I actually laughed so hard, I accidentally dropped my phone. Thanks Jana! Still love you <3
After watching the poi for Berserker… I’m not sure how to state this but I just can’t get over the fact the some of the animations might need a total re-work. The zerk burst on sword is idk… Ugh I can’t even find the words to describe it. Oh well, it’s just a game I suppose. Cheers to warriors turning into magic wielders I guess. Don’t get me wrong I like some of them, things like head butt n turning your opponent into a projectile is nice but… Torch 4… sigh Earth Bender?
For those of yous bringing in “well others profs are also in kitten…”, yeah that’s true, and it has nothing to do with thieves or what’s being started here. Now, if they, the other profs, on their forums could organize something like this, then by all means. Trying to use this as a argument as to why it can’t or not allowed to work… well, it’s silly.
Carry on.
I would highly recommend the other professions do this. It shows initiative on the community’s part.
Meh they probably don’t have enough INITIATIVE to start anything like this hehe
Like what the title states. Can we please make the skill unblock able? I feel like it’s worth it cause headshot itself costs 4 initiative! It also adds a little counter play when pinned up against Guardians or classes that block too much.
Seriously?! Distracting?! I know it’s too soon to judge but come on… The AI in this game is so unreliable. I think it’s really likely we’re getting it because Stances are unlikely our thing. Kits may be a factor but meh! Friday POI I suppose!
“I’m gonna summon a rock!… To punch it!” Is it me or does it seem like the warrior got so fed up he became a hybrid Elementalist just to fire shrapnels to his foe’s face? And the beserk burst with main hand sword only supports the fact that the warrior is becoming an Elementalist lol
I really like Sword on my Warrior and really don’t like the whole fireball flinging sword deal.
I wish they had used the Guardian flurry slash-beam look but tinted red. At least there it’d just look like you’re so kittened and swinging your sword so hard you’re super-heating the air to create searing shockwaves of heat.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. It’s much better than producing fire balls out of thin air.

If a Guardian gets wrecked by a p/d then obviously he’s a bad guardian or he just didn’t bring enough condition removal utility.== Plus, the video only features inexperienced players getting ganked by an experienced player. That mushroom who uploaded the video should fight other “OP” condition class or at least try to pull off what the thief did then he’ll understand what the true nature of the thief’s current state is at. cough cough PU mesmers.
Karl is going for the high risk high reward philosophy. Can’t you see that he’s trying to be a Daredevil himself? Maybe we’ll even get a “Clown” specialisation in the future. High hopes man!
Basically I can’t hold the urge to head to WvW to put my"Celestial Engineer" into action. The only obstacle I face is that I don’t have ANY celestial medium armour gears currently and I’m really not sure where else to get it other than crafting(still makin my way). So is there a way to gear myself up without using any celestial gear by using other combination of stats? The only thing I got close to is this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFAEA-TFjFABpoGQRKh6SlANVSAgSQjUKElyAqUichOgZUFgFVEQRFGA-w cause I’m limited by exotic gears lol Root the the reason is cause I’ve spent alotta “Cha-Ching” on my new Guardian and Mesmer.
Roy, please help the Thieves. Just take a look at the Thief forum when you’re free, it’s flooded with all kinds of complaints and no developers seem to show any care for that class. We’re not asking you to work on the class (doesn’t mean we don’t want you to;) but we’d really appreciate it if you’d just notify your co-workers of the current issue with the state of the class. The reason I’d make this thread is cause you seem to respond to whatever the community ask for, I’m not expecting a reply but a sign of life on the thief forum from the developers that are responsible. Yes, we’re that desperate.
Imagine yourself in a big fight and the revenant starts to focus you with his teammates lol they’re worse than ranger sic ems or engi analyse cause they’ll be equipping that utility all the time once they’re using Glint. Like A-net what’s wrong with you? Unrelenting Assult even evades now lol
I seriously wish Karl would take another look at the Thief’s base specialisation. Look at the revenant, they got an evade for unrelenting assault now. Wish Roy was working on this class instead of that guy who does 3classes at once and forgets the trait names== anyhow no point ranting so much. So what’s the plan? We post the problems until Karl notices? Guess I’m in, even if it takes a year of flooding the forums.
If you thought revenant were hard to kill… Well they’re definitely harder to kill now. Unrelenting assault evades and gain might while we use Death Blossom… Karl, Please give us the old Feline Grace back and change Potent Poison if you’re reading this. Please with cherry/blue berry toppings.
Well played Celestial Engineer or Elementalist, Burst Meditation Guardian, Condition Carrion Ranger/Engineer, PU Mesmers (especially the condition ones) and CC Hammer Warriors if you don’t have enough stunbreak. All these are serious threats where if you have play with extra cautious and experience, even if you play perfectly the odds will still be easily pinned against you.
does that sound silly to you? So no… Anti Reveal :|
hehe
