Guild Wars 2

The problem is we have a large amount of trolls on the Thief forum that do not play our class.

The constant “Balancing” has also likely turned many a Thief into a bitter kitten .

But do you guys even lift?

The problem is we have no quickbar space for active skills. Hence – Passives.

30 SA is mostly a PvE spec…

With might runes and 30 into SA you can run around pvp with constant 20 stacks of might… With nothing in SA that is 3600 power easy….

Not sure what your point is.

meaning you can run 30 SA in pvp and be worth a kitten Also you don’t die in a little sneeze.

That does not make SA OP, it makes it a good trait line. One of the best in the game infact.

DeathCreeper.6407:

So instead of doing different armor or runes you suggest just changing the skills where you have at least 30 in SA and if wanted 15 in Acro ?

Until you get used to bosses and dungeons, then you can go for a more glassy build if you want.

But there is no need to use defensive based armor or runes.

I play 0-30-30-10-0 for PvE and it works perfect.

30 SA is mostly a PvE spec…

Thieves Don’t need toughness for PvE, 30 SA will give you all the sustain you need for PvE, one can also add 15 Acrobatics as well if wanted for more dodging but that is not realy needed.

Please Don’t become a game dev.

I want to wear it on my new Ranger but can I re-use it later on when I hit 80 on an exotic?

How come when I log in I Don’t get free child brides?

With the buff up karka shells drop almost every kill that aint dumb luck.

Your post says nothing, care to re-write it?

Any class is better in WvW and yet Thieves need a nerf?

I see supply traps all the time, stealth traps not so much yet. The best build I have found though is to play my Mesmer.

On Tarnished Coast I never seen anyone else with D/D, I just enjoy the style. As far as SPVP goes I’ll get back to you when there are more game modes lol.

cookie cutter backstab hasnt worked in months :P….

Yet I still encounter around 7 out of 10 thieves still using it! They live and die by their heartseeker.

I use D/D/BS still. No one spams Heartseeker, do they? :O

Sure if It’s account bound.

It’s fun using it on Slave Driver only to get smashed as the party moves him in circles hitting everyone!

evade thieves dont last very long in wvw :P stealth also has +50% movement which in d/p is perma speed so :P idk….and when u use speed your heartseeker goes farther too.

I’m using shadowstep a lot not really evading, although I do evade a lot in during combat sometimes with endurance reduction trait which let you dodge 3 times. Sword skill 2, infiltrator signet and steal give you a big leap, you can also run with shortbow skill 5 afterward.

From what I understand 33%(out of combat) is the max speed possible, that 50% movement speed only affect you when you are in combat since your speed is reduced significantly otherwise it’s capped at 33%(out of combat) speed. Also it says that trait is bugged on wiki.

EDIT: I also enjoy catching unsuspected victim with basilisk venom from far away because they thought I could not reach them :P

s/d only has more IN COMBAT mobility. out of combat d/p is the champ. infil strike only works in one direction then you go back until aobut 14 secs later is when it resets to use again…… shadow shot, however can be use on rabbits and mobs/other players to get away or to a certain direction. so they both have the same utilities but infiltrators step only works once every 14 or 15 secs. you can spam shadow shot 5 times or so maybe more if u use other skills

the 50% speed on stealth actually does work….rarely but it does work. even the times that it doesnt….it still gives 33% minimum so you are still going faster than d/p…..they both get swift on rolls so d/p can stay perma swift if he wanted to

I had it work just the other day and boy does it feel great when you do get that 50% boost!

I still get a good laugh out of Thieves vs bunker Rangers, but see no reason to nerf these builds.

They serve there purpose and there are ways to counter them.

This is true and very easy to test as well, run COF-P2 and the end boss will always stick to whoever has the highest toughness.

If yours is the lowest and you try to grab him and hold him in the other room he will ignore you completely.

Is there a way to make this build work with LB/SB power/prec/crit?

WRod.3856:

Dude I just bought a new house in divinity reach, I need to farm for my kids and wife. The war is no way of me feed them atm

What if I take the troops and raid your farm?!

Housing/Guild Halls

Both trap types are everywhere, the supply trap being the reason WvW is currently dead…

Chicken Pot Pie?

Since the patch activity seems to have dropped alot, whats going on.

Master of Timespace.2548:

By playing thief, you are already playing at a disadvantage to at least 4 other professions whose very powerful builds are all capable of holding their own vs every profession and who can easily beat thieves…

Thats my reaction to Thieves on my bunker Ranger.

I made 80 gold off one dragon chest, I see no issue here?

Very few people have been WvWing since the supply trap at all.

WvW is a real mess right now for everyone.

Aeri.5738:

wow, this is totally new!
so new that it totally deserves it’s own thread instead of posting it in the sticky

Just looking to see if It’s any good… Sorry…?

Bit new at this, was looking to see how Ranger’s feel about this build for WvW.

Where are these two?

Aveneo.2068:

Oh, come on! Some of you guys really think you’re the center of the universe… Newsflash: the world doesn’t revolve around the thief.

This new trap’s main purpose is to stop the Veil-zerg; nothing more.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Veil

Shortsighted much? Ranger cat pets? Thieves? It effects many things.

As Thieves most of us would have been fine with Ranger’s or Engi’s having a reveal. But a Trap is just stupid.

We Don’t get ignored, we get stepped on and kittenin the face. That is something.

We all have massive unused karma though.

Maybe I misread the release notes. I thought they costed the 15 badges and the 525 karma. Is it actually one or the other? If so, I’m buying stacks with karma as soon as I get off work!

I was thinking exactly this, the patchnote isn’t very clear as to whether it requires one of them or both

I thought it was either one, I Don’t know.

Go ahead and use them, we’ll gib you during that 4 sec cast time if you are not laying it at a choak point before hand lol.

Grimwolf.7163:

…What the hell were they thinking? Remove Stealth for a full 30 seconds on basically EVERYONE within 1200 YARDS? And the trap stays in place for a full HOUR?
Those things will be EVERYWHERE around any keeps or camps or… basically anything important.

All we can do now is relentlessly hunt down and destroy any scrubs that use these stupid things for revenge.

How do you pick up the loot? Won’t it rot after an hour?

We only need traps for Thieves to help the disabled player base.

30 sec revealed for 500 karma not good enough for you? Okay then.

The traps actually cost more than a catapult in terms of badges, which makes me a sad panda.

We all have massive unused karma though.

Yes but not unused badges XD

Not me at least. I have been using it to get gear.

Use karma then.
