Guild Wars 2

Played since headstart about 3600 hours into playing thief and quit about a year ago. I’ve always wondered and looking at this recently
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Burning
and realized why are we the only class with no reliable access to burning still? would this really just put us over the top?

#TEAMGRENADEKIT #TEAMBOMBKIT don’t know about you guys but my 3rd utility slot is always interchangeable after SR and shadowstep. Putting kits in play would solve my problem

Honestly whatever the weapon is i hope it focuses on ground target aoe/cc functionality. Staff and kits could fulfill that while rifle just screams single target burst which thieves clearly lack right guise?

As a player however I would benefit most if staff was a thing for a thief since ican fulfill my dream of wielding my bifrost less resources to spend on weapons

I am fairly confident that because druid demands a staff weapon to coincide with the theme that staff for thief won’t be a thing. While i want a 1200 range choice i am against rifle purely on the fact that it is single target. I am really hoping for “kits” along the lines of engi grenade kit but of course something like ninja stars or kunais type of stuff that promote an aoe style of thief.

sheesh a P/P build in PvE… so much bad in this thread. Opponents that ignore you in the middle of a team fight while they allow you to pew pew. Excuse me if i question the quality of players you have highlight matches of. Sure you can throw of people who expect a different playstyle but once someone realizes you main P/P it is VERY EASY to counter thus “trash”.

the fact that you post hotjoin trash vids is misinformation on P/P viability. P/P was trash, is trash and will still be trash unless it’s skills changes fundamentally. PVE , sPvP, and WvW it underperforms compared to other sets. Post some actual ranked matches where you are effective and then maybe you have an argument. The fact still remains that utility wise the set is trash. I can’t even believe people mained P/P holy kitten.

Of course arganthium ill give you credit for your kittenty ineffective outdated 2/0/0/6/6 build and continue to put sizer’s properly updated 2/0/0/6/6 build on my rotations that i use when i play thief and spit at your setup.

As a thief main with over 4000 hours on my thief certain setups make killing her a trivial matter. Whether that be in my power, hybrid, condition setup in most cases killing her is easy the failures come in once I had to attempt doing 8 orbs before killing her due to pulls fr cosmic rifts if you are not paying attention.

man i cant believe scrubs think building around D/D deathblossom can be effective other than trolling…. o wellz more easy kills for me when i see these scrubs around i guess

Whatever the pop cap is it needs to be lower…. all this is just a zerg fest in enclosed spaces im already turned off

sad fact is sad fact do something about it and meet those standards stop messing it up for the people that actually meet those said thresholds that anet put up again no amount of polite map chat is going to make the noob/scrub actually run proper utilities even when it is said in map chat thus my only action is to maybe have a .1% chance at embarrassing them through digital chat and force them to actually think about what they run

the thing is this is not even hard content thus the insults from myself and many others who think people should actually take the time to get better at the game and stop messing it up for others! No amount of advice through chat can help the person behind a keyboard to play better. If they suck they suck let the insults FLY

That’s my 2 cents.

The insults are warranted so they know they are messing up everyone else’s enjoyment thinking that inexperience is an excuse to just waltz in an event thinking they can leech off the loot. Plain and simple.

yea this is more disappointment really instead of making the core gameplay better i would appreciate less content like this really

Even though I only had time for a couple of duels in obsidian sanctum shout out to the Yarr people that indulged this [HARD] thief good duels all around
Im sure im the only all purple thief on the field look for me! GLHF

What irks me the most is here you have a chance to introduce some variety that you promised looking forward at the beginning of 2013 and you clearly do so with almost every other class except thief…. all the new other class heals bring something to the table while our “new” heal is lazy as both an idea and in its execution… i mean seriously 45 sec CD for a heal that doesn’t even heal that much and can be blocked? thats just utter laziness

that 45 second CD better be early build… are you serious? i mean really? 45 seconds you think a thief not traited in shadow rejuvenation can even last in the next 45 seconds with this crap tastic long CD heal…? cmon mannnn

wow what lazy brainstorming this heal is just plain awful compared to other class heals we get a 45 sec CD heal(if true) with kitten healing that can be easily countered by blocking attacks so you dont get the heal benefit….

I mean really devs? game changing? this is downright lazy and being awful at the same time.

i honestly think it comes down to
candied dragon rolls/omnom ghosts- 66% chance life steal on crit(1 sec ICD)
sweet and spicy butternut(power) or the precision version- 100 pow/prec, 10% crit dmg
sharpening stones and maintenance oils are relatively cheap except the highest ones running with a 5% boost really is good nuff

For the record I’m a guy but the female body is appealing so here’s my purplay thief

already did post and it has been 2 days

67288:gem store refund inquiry extra picks and sickle

it has been 5 days no reply still would really like some help with this and it seems the 3 day old thread hasnt been looked at for a while as requests are piling up with no reply.

67288:gem store refund inquiry extra picks and sickle

I was informed 3 days ago that my ticket would be transferred to another representative. Not even 1 reply from that transferred representative during the whole 3 day duration. Essentially looking to see if there is any final word regarding my situation.

gg whichever one of FA or EB started resorting to a zoom hacking tool to down our siege in lord’s room way to wreck the fun at the end of the day. Pathetic

i honestly would build around quick pockets first than i would ever take assassin’s reward quite honestly. Moving Assassin’s reward up will only cause to not be used even further and it pretty much dealt some crappy sustain heals while having to be engaged constanly in order to get full use out of it. If any dev is listening the only way hard to catch becomes a viable trait to be taken is if you reduce the CD, 30 seconds is way too long and with amount of CCs that happen within a glass thief’s lifespan the CD is too ridiculous to justify a random shadowstep back which could easily be closed in by 1 gap closer from a melee class

it is getting pretty ridiculous… protection was available to us before in the shadow protector trait since perma stealthing through d/p is being taken away i request another form of damage mitigation. Shadow protector was originally designed to give protection…. can’t this be a thing?

Condition thieves are irrelevant in competitive duels because we lacked variety evry succesful condition build has burning input into it.

That argument is a fallacy … Guardian condition build has burning too. Successful isn’t the word I would use to describe it.

im sorry could you please point out to me where i ever said condi guardian is a successful condi build? look at necros poof dumbfire was introduced they instantly became powerhouses staples in spvp and just straight up fights. Know what most good engineers trait into? incendiary powder burning on crit. While we thieves have a 40% chance to inflict vulnerabilty on crit wooopteeedoooo. who gives a kitten about vulnerabilty that doesnt even stick to ur opponent too long to matter?

Condition thieves are irrelevant in competitive duels because we lacked variety evry succesful condition build has burning input into it. It is quite frankly the number 1 condition there is where it puts massive pressure on the opponent and the fact that thieves are the only ones without access to it through utilities or traits is pretty crippling to condition thieves. Perplexity makes condition thieves relevant as confusion is able to fulfill that role but to have to rely on runes to actually make our condi build not laughable is unfair where like i stated every other class has access to it thru weapons utilities or traits.

Yes the only way condi thief p/d users are given enough variety and sustained is thru perplexity runes which gives the set enough burst. Since anet added dumbfire or necros why not buff thief condition viability so we can actually be relevant in spvp at least that trait did it and gave necro builds a condition that made them instantly relevant.

Where are we on this on thief i quite frankly think it is unfair that evry other class has some sort of access to this powerful condition. except maybe the gunk stolen skill thatll apply it if ur stupid enough to stay on it? I really want burning since there is no plan in the near future to move away from this condi spam meta i request a burning type of access so we as condi thiefs can compete with the meta you seem to be perfectly fine staying on.

i guess you can expect lackluster updates like this brought to you by the LS dev team that made the Canach’s lair update every 2 months seriously this is a pretty boring update…

there is…. sadly are you ready to bash your head at the amazing RNG that is loot drops from dungeon bosses? YES!? then and go ahead and far CM p1 to get Spineguard of the North that drops from “Frost” and yes it is soulbound i believe

Kumu Honua.2751:

I’m sorry. Did you say the spider hatchlings were taking out 4 level 80s?

That’s not an issue with the dungeon. That’s an issue with the group.

THIS if 4 level 80s are getting insta downed by this might be time to change that “uber” build uou made and start dodging a lot more…. It sounds like a L2P issue… As a low lvl taking and learning the appropriate condi removal and stum breakers is a musy if u even stand a chance not going all signets on ur character…

Why should small groups of friends have access to content we as a big guild piled up assets by doing more content than a casual group of friends? I find it unfair that you would get access by doing less than a concerted effort by medium/large guild piling resources together for one goal.

You missing the “A” in ascended really isn’t however /facepalm

So just a question once this gets “old” would that make it even more frustrating to you as a player seeing me shoot this until the game dies? If so you just made me a happy man

Guy. Dreamer owner. Awesome unicorns.

I was going to casually chase Quip after making dreamer but the amount of dislike for both weapons really fuels my desire to troll these kitteners in WvW and dungeons now heeheehee

stick to ur guns Anet this update was awesome for me i was disappointed reading no footfalls but this more than makes up for it

It fits an April 1st joke, not this game.

Opinions are awesome Q___Q

Ah sadly i cant reach zhaitan with my bow….

Gisei.5749:

But I know there are some people who soiled themselves with excitement when they saw it. More power to them.

^^
I admit to this

Omg! The horse has an ANET logo tatooed on its kitten thigh region Just keeps getting more awesome!!

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a hater (only a Dreamer effect hater). I love this game deeply. That’s the reason for so much passion.

The funny thing is that I absolutely love Guild Wars. But when it comes to GW2 (which seems to me to have taken everything good about Guild Wars and trashed it to make a WoW-like version of the game), I’m actually pretty much a hater (although as I’d said before, I hate the effect, not the bow).

The only reason I log in is because I’m in a guild that have all known each other in real life for almost 20 years. We’re family, and I wanted to be able to play with them. Otherwise I’d never have bought the game after I tried it in Beta (yeah, I didn’t like GW2 even before launch).

And yet my passion comes from so very much wanting to like this game. I love Guild Wars deeply. It’s been the game I played for more than half a decade.

I really want to NOT hate GW2. Being immersed without ridiculous elements that are simply out of context with the world of the game would help with that.

That’s my reason for so much passion.

And we still come to the same conclusion about rainbows. Heh.

Anyway, good luck out there.

Ur pretty much in love with a different game i would suggest just to go back and move on it isnt changing any time soon or ever Q___Q

For some1 who hates these i am loving ur ideas!! Listen to his suggestions pls devs

I do agree they should have made an alternative style for each weapon type but i again emphasize that i love this bow on me! Neeeeighhhhh!!! Unicorn volleys!!

I now regret not making a big kitten norn so the unicorns would be as big as possible

As a proud owner of this i am ecstatic about this change please Anet don’t listen to these non-owners and change this awesome feature on my legendary.

Now all i need is a jester suit and work on getting quip and i will be a happy thief in WvW
