Guild Wars 2

I had the same problem :s

Hey Karl

I just logged in and saw you guys changed the dodge traits.
I was really looking forward to playing S/p and p/p because of the prospect of leaping through my smoke fields.
But now i logged in and i see that its no longer a leap finisher, its now a blast.
And since the blast will come at the end of the dodge, it feels clucky trying to get that wanted stealth effect.

I dunno, was just really exited for that trait and now not so much ^^

Love the overall clean up thou, i have confidence its gonna be great on release!

Hey everyone, Markus Valadir from sittingonacouch.com here. There is a major patch coming up today so instead of doing the podcast now we will do it tomorrow same time. That is 7pm gmt +1.

Revealed podcast will be online tomorrow at http://www.twitch.tv/soacgaming 7 pm gmt +1

Hey Arganthium, Markus here. I would love to hear about your ideas. I’m not a Spvp player like Jumper and Caed so I have practically no knowledge about the game-mode. Therefore, I would appreciate the input since it will improve my understanding of the game and by extension make me better at coming up with questions Hit me on Casper.Mikkelsen.Gmgmail.com and we can figure something out. That goes for RFF and Auesis as well

Hey RFF Markus here we are doing this sort of episodic so some episodes are going to be PvE focused for sure. Would definitely like to talk to you if you are an expert on the subject! Can you write me? maybe we could figure something out

You aswell Auesis

Hey guys we have a podcast coming up together with sittingonacouch.com that is going to be about the thief!!! YAY ! feel my excitement!

Anyways i would like you guys to come up with the name. So post all the names you can think off for a thief specific podcast in this threat

Its going to be hosted by Jumper and me (Markus Valadir).

Alot of the music is blocked so im reposting it today with some different music
hehe ye i was aswell, like 1 hit to rally xD

Travlane – Normaly im against putting out footage where i own upscaled, because lets face it.. its easy. However, this is a complete run showing how my build runs in actual play instead of just showcasing. When that is said, there is deffenetly more than 1 lvl 80 kill ^^ one section of the movie i take down 2 thiefs and a mesmer all lvl 80 at the creepspot, just to highlight some of it for you

Hey all wanted to make some noise about this new video i made. Its a follow up video for my old Juke and nuke guide. This time its a roam run showing the juke potential of the sword.
I would like to hear your opinion on the new sword, personally i think its super awesome

Hey everyone since the release of my Juke and Nuke guide i´ve been getting the same question alot people ask me how i use the shortbow to get high ground and juke.

So i made yet another video xD

this one is not really edited or anything its just to answer that question
Hope you enjoy <3

Hey all, Ive made a new video and want to make some awareness

Its about how i duel the mesmers – hope you enjoy <3

If you got some comment or tips to how YOU fight mesmers please share them in this thread !

It has been noted in the video now that the clip is pre patch, again sorry my bad ^^

kitten your right! my bad guys! the date has been changed in my folder because i was fooling around with the clip :S awe… i feel stupid now

i try not to rely as much on stealth as i was use to in the last patch, its normaly just as good just to get out of the way and strike when the time is right

I can confirm ! its from ore temples thanks for the positive replys guys!

i also want to note that using Steal in midair combined with heartseaker effectively increases the range of the combo

Thats true unfortunatly i didnt have a clip where i use that trick, it obviusly required stealth to use but its very effective thanks for sharing

hehe yeh :P the build is pretty standard i think besides the fact i use cond remocal trait and mug its more the playstyle post patch

Hey Nilgoow thanks for the reply i gotta ask first, i dont have 30 shadow arts? xD because im pretty sure i do :P hehe

I did change my build after the patch and changed my playstyle. before i used 0.30.30.10.0 with speed in stealth now i changed for the more agressive build in the video with Mug. There is one clip in there where i still use my old build ( the one at the camp) but i prefer to be more agressive

Hey all im posting in here to tell people about my Juke and Nuke guide that just went online.

The video explain itself i think so give it a watch

The nerf in the new patch forced me to try and rework the way i play the thief and i would like to know how you guys have handeled the patch yourself

Karolis.4261:

okay … why all the keybinds if u still click most of the time … ?

The same reason as i dodge sometimes when its not needed, im simply human ^^ -i have quirky human bad habbids
Im far from the perfect player

[DJay is absolutely right, people have no notion of what is worth showing or not.
And there is more: the players he was facing were abismal, in the jumping puzzle video they are absolutely excruciating, seeing those 2 elementalists die to bleeding like that, with plenty of time to watercleanse the conditions made my eyes bleed themselves. And please, no more troloro music next time, it was this self presumptuousness expressed by the music that prompted to make this critique.]

sorry for taking your time, my vid is not worth showing, self presumptuous and makes your eyes bleed – thou if it was that terrible to you i would suggest to stop the vid when u realized it was kitten and do something better with your life. Either that or doing a " what i would have done instead" comment instead of just rage, then both of us would have got something from the experience instead of just bleeding eyes

hope i didnt ruin your day

i will keep the “no 1v1s” in mind for my next vid

i can se where you are getting at with the amount of skill it takes to pull this off, and i agree my thourght was that i have less HP and less healing so to survive u would have to move more around and be smart with the shadows refuge. But i guess u can make an argument in both cases.

Yes Pistol/Dagger is boring – i agree! this is the main reason i dont play this spec anymore. I just post the builds

It starts with 1v1 and goes to 1v3. In part 2 i show a stupid clip of me vs more people.
thourght it would be a clever way to frame the build, guess i was wrong xD

thx for all the replies, didnt expect any feedback tbh.

Hey guys my name is Markus Valadir and ive just launched my new channel deticated to the thief proffession. Im going to post different builds that i make myself and all of them will have videos to show playstyle. be warned thou, some of the vids will have troll elements :P

anyways, for my first build i bring to you the Condd solo spec! aka old faithfull.
This spec is called old faithfull because it practically never lets me down and its strong in just about anything but big groups fights with 20+ people. its perfect for roaming with good movement speed and teamsupport in the shadows refuge.

Im running: Pistol/Dagger + Shortbow

Deadly arts 20 – Mug + Quick Venoms
Shadow arts 30 – Cloaked in shadow + Infusion of shadow + shadows rejuvenation
Trickery 20 – Thrill off the crime + bountyful theft

My Clothes – Toughness ´precission Condition damage
My Jewels – Power Vitality Condition damage
Weapons – Power vitality Condition duration.
Sigils – +5% crit and sigil of generosity

There is a pretty famous build that looks a bit like this one, or at least it has the same general playstyle. The “Wild Bill” set up, go give him some love aswell he is an amazing player. this is however not the same spec, as you can see the traits are completly different and the utillities aswell. This set up takes a little more skill to play (my oppinion) but will reward you with more damage, more stunbreaks, more condition removal and more initiative which allows for more moveabillity.

People have been asking why i use the shortbow and not the D/D as my second weapons. The reason for this is that i dont think the extra weapons are really needed in actual combat. The way thiefs work with their initiative mechanic makes it so that we practically have no CD on abillities and we can then choose to focus those initiative points on certain abillities. This build focuses them into stealth, slow and escape. Why the shortbow then? because its great for catching up on people and for mooving around the map, wont use it in actual combat.

if you have questions in regard to this build or the upcomming builds feel free to ask questions either here, ingame or on my youtube and ill answer to the best of my skills.

- feel free to leave hate comments or ideas for improvements aswell.
Thou for you with the hate comments, really ? :P
