Guild Wars 2

Using a greatsword with a guardian allows for plenty of defensive skills. You can open with a leap that blinds, if you spec 5 into radiance you have another blind on-demand, if you use retreat as a utility you have two aegis applications on demand. Have a mace and focus as your second weapon set and you have 2 blocks and a blind on that weapon set. Using this set-up, you can take on most enemies without taking a hit.

How many* achievement points. Pedantry, away!

I love my mace because I feel invincible using it, with its heals and block

Countess Anise does not hold the third clue. Assuming you have spoken to Lord Faren and the cook, the third clue is held my Minister Zamon’s sister, whose name I’m afraid I can’t remember. Unless she moves, she stands at the top of the stairs.

I recommend teaming up with allies in order to properly take people down. You’re not supposed to be able to take people down in 2v1 just because you play a thief and can burst them down in a few seconds.

Note: Found the problem. I’ll just say that for any rogues, don’t try to re-stealth too early after a previous one

Well if you really can’t do it then go raise up some levels and learn some new utility skills then come back. you will have your level scaled down, but the extra utilities and traits will help and then you can blast through like 5 storyline quests in a row.

Are you attacking the same enemies as your allies? If you attack an assassin who is not being attacked by anyone else, you will aggro them, but by attacking your allies’ targets you can hopefully avoid too much aggro. This will also give you the benefit of higher damage – yours plus your allies should be enough to kill an enemy even before they kill you.

I also struggled with the same quest on my thief earlier today. The trick to avoid being 1-shotted is to use your dodges and crowd control. Then focus-fire one of them and even if you die, that’s one less enemy for next time.

Maybe they’ll implement it later, but I think they have bigger priorities at the moment. We can but hope, I guess.

I want some tips on how to deal with multiple enemies as a thief. I feel that against a single enemy I can often kill them while only receiving a couple of attacks at most due to all my dodging/stuns/dazes. However, when I come up against multiple opponents these are less effective. I tend to just go in with a sword and try to kill them before they kill me, which is far too high-risk as a tactic.

Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with multiple enemies as a thief? Should I be using other weapons, or just making use of AOE utilities?
