I owned GW1 way back in the day but never bought any of the expansions, i read on the forums about all the recent stealth and thief changes and some people are saying that Anet should have just had the thief be the" Assassin" from GW1. being ive never played it nor know any of its skills or even play style, how would it compare to Gw2 thief? would it be a clean transition? would the game take a massive change? would it actually be for the better or would the thief just turn out to be better with stealth.
This is just a “What if” discussion, please stay on topic if possible.
Probably because they’re the only class that can escape anyone they want, even zergs if they want to.
An ele can’t RTL away if he’s rooted, but a thief can infiltrator’s arrow out of roots and can hit random animals to stealth away.
Basically, thieves can reset fights. Yes, thieves can lose to several specs, especially confusion or retal ones, but their difference with other classes is that they can still harass and disengage at will from even fights that do not favor them, whereas a necromancer for example is kittened if a competent thief catches him, or a mesmer is screwed the moment a d/d or engineer arrives.
I fought a condi/confusion mesmer the other day in wvw.
We dueled like 4 times and I lost all 4. I almost killed him once but the confusion+bleeds was too much even for shadows embrace.
Thieves are not OP. They are just frustrating to zerging noobs who feel entitled to stomp roll anything they see because they are 100 and you are 1.
Yes i have to agree with this post here, i roam more than erg, personally because zerging isnt that fun to me because of the fact that it ends up to just whoever has the bigger zerg. but so far ive won most of the fights i run into mostly due to patience and knowing if i can take them or not. i lose to most Mesmers, i have some trouble with elementalist. But the rest are quite simple. i believe most people think that Thieves are OP is because of our roaming power and escape, other classes dont have as much escape as us or as much burst (besides warriors burst) but to counter this we have the smallest health pools in the game. but i can also see why they would think we are OP even though we are not.
So for quite some time now in both PvE and PvP i rarely ever see thieves that run pistols (main hand and off) or that use LDB (leaping death blossom). Back when i first picked my thief which is my main, i constantly used it during PvE encounters, i see it here and there in EXP modes, but I’ve started to PvP more now and i pretty much haven’t seen it at all. Do most thieves just not like the ability along with the pistol? Or is D/D just considered stronger or better?
Read your other thread. seems like you don’t know much about thieves, but instead just complain about them. if thieves had CD you may as well make it a completely different class. Thieves are VERY easy to counter, its the main class i play. most thieves run Pure damage glass cannon build and die ALOT, basically the reason i don’t run that build is because i value living over maximum damage. Its not hard to deal with since they are squishier than paper.
+1 for this, 2v2 would be an awesome idea for the way the combat is in this game. 3v3 would also work. to implement it all i see is that they would have to create new maps tailored for smaller groups. maybe king of the hill or something or a classic deathmatch style system
1. It is to laggy (yes, i do have fast internet, fast computer, fast card). I wan’t to see the enemy players from a distance. Now i see a whole groupe of enemy players when i am standing in the middle of it…Too late…
2. I don’t like 4 maps. Just 1 good map is enough.
3. I don’t like to be ‘forced’ to move with a groupe of players. Sometimes i want to play allone, but u can’t do much in WvW. Would love to build my own device to get walls down.
4. I don’t like it that i can not see my team members on the whole map.
I do like pvp in games, but i don’t like pvp in GW2 that much, especially not in WvW
This isn’t a suggestion. sounds more like a complaint and whatnot. WvW is not that bad, i cant play it that much do to MASSIVE frame rate issues( such as in large groups or zergs) but i still have fun with the smaller things like supply camp ambushes and things.
I’ve always felt that 2v2 were always quite fun cause it made it like u and your friend were unstoppable. two peas in a pod if you will. i know that GW2 is mainly focused around 5v5 but a new feature with smaller maps would be great for just 4 players total. like a king of the hill style maybe. this may be a suggestion that has popped up many times but this is to refresh the thought.
Are you for real? stealth for 3 secs then when can even go back in stealth until the debuff is off, so now you need to reveal us? that would be quite broken and im certain more people would stop playing them because of something like that.
During his absence his characters were transferred to an EU server. was really weird cause we tried to play not too long ago but i noticed he was on an EU server when we used to play together on My serve (NA) what happened?
Im not sure really, twice ive just walked up to one the green portals and started the event manually. idk if thats how it goes but ive never done any events leading to it unlike the Shatterer fight.
Any Guides on how to kill the the Fire golem ?
(2nd summoned golem during Kudo Boss fight)
I’ve looked around and most people says that it is over-tuned :/ me and a group spent literally upwards of 10 minuets fighting just that golem, running back after dying multiple times. at on point i ran in the room and was two shot by it Lol. so it it broken or were we just doing something wrong?
