I absolutly agree the Ruins of Orr (this includes the 2 zones that are not lvl 80) are by far the worst zones in the game so far. IMO Malchor’s Leap (LVL 75-80) is much more of a pain then the cursed shore(LVL 80).
Sigh this thread fails with people that can’t learn how to fight a mechanic that isn’t really hard to combat against. So this is my last post to you people.
A guardian can heal a lot more than a thieve can a ranger can duck out of a fight far easier than a melee can and heal up and pin cushion you from a far. Warriors can do a ton of knock downs and heal while fighting as a passive ability along with Guardians.
Thieves have a defense heal because they are melee and easily ripped through if you know how to play against them which apparently the people here don’t know how to do.
So I leave you people to QQ and cry about a mechanic that you refuse to learn how to combat against and hope to god people like you never get your way, as it was people like you that ruined PvP in other games.
End of my post here
P.S. your statement was no other class can extend a fight like a thief can because of Stealth and I proved to you regardless of what you think another class can.
Thanks for trying to help me out but man this is a lost cause. Just to waste my words one last time, to counter a stealth heavy thief use ground targeted AOEs and stay in them. When he comes in for the attack he will take massive damage (if hes glass cannon if hes not then he should not be able to drop you on the first go). This will cause him to make a choice stay and mby get the kill but will 9 times out of 10 will die himself or back off and try to heal. Most of the time anyone around you can take him out at this point if you need to back off and heal. If you for some reason were by jumped alone (why you would ever not be with atleast one other person in PvP i don’t know) then good luck because IMO thieves are the 1v1 masters of this game, if they know what there doing that is.
First of all Thieves are by far not the only class that can go 1v2 or 1v3 and win. Both War and Guard can pull it off if built right. If you are versing a glass cannon ( most of the time if they stealth that much you are) then use a ground targeted AOE and stay in it and watch it mess him up when he attacks. I ran glass cannon on my thief for a bit and a couple ticks from an AOE would cost me most of my health.
This hole game is about finding builds to counter your oppents build. Why can’t people understand that? So yes you may be able to take down some builds with the one you use but there will always be others that can beat you.
If Guild Wars 2 was a novel, Trahearne would be a great protagonist; he is a peaceful scholar with an almost impossible Wyld Hunt who is unwillingly thrust into a position of leadership.
I compleatly agree with you. What made me dislike Trahearne so much was the voice acting. I thought he was good looking at just the story of him.
OK so I understand why people are getting so upset about this, but dam how does anyone know that this is not the only time they will do something like this?
The addition of infusion is great and prob would of been much harder to implement on existing gear, so making a new level of gear was a smarter choice IMHO.
Now if you feel that the 8% stat boost will really make a difference then what game have you been playing? The combat system itself is a counter to this stat buff because if you have more skill in playing your character then your opponent then you will almost always win the fight even if hes decked in all exotics and a legendary weapon.
So stop complaining and saying that Arena Net has given in and is becoming a WoW clone because there is absolutely no evidence to that as of yet and you all just jumping to conclusions. Now if this were to happen again then yes I will give up on Arena Net but for now I will just watch what they are doing with a cautious eye.
Arena Net is there any plans what so ever to make all of the Destinies edge into statues like you did with Rytlock? I would pay so much to have them all.
I can see were you are coming from because the Thief IMO has one of the largest skill caps. For PvE and for lvling b4 I hit 80 I was a Tuff CD build using D/D and SB. This build work great for really learning how to play the thief because you can take a hit or two without much worry if you happen to mess up and are not able to get out the way. Once you start to notice that you are not getting hit much at all anymore then I would recommend changing over to a glass cannon (my current build is a D/D P/D glass cannon).
Just to sum it up I recommend a more defensive build while you are still learning the class as Thieves can not take a hit all to well.
