Love all the QQ about this patch. I picked up theif upon returning and can absolutely dominate in PvP after two days of learning how to fight other classes intelligently. I sincerely don’t get all of this complaining, adapt to the patch – this isn’t the end of the world.

Many lies are being told. Very evident when reading post history…

Not sure what lies you could be seeing but ok? All I can think of is you interpreted my post as I’ve never played thief before in my life until this patch in which case I apologize for the confusion. But considering I’ve been gone for over a month and just started up again with thief as my main, I’m not struggling in any PvP matches after the first couple of days learning the patch and knocking the rust off. This leads me to believe the forum complaints are being blown WAY out of proportion and thieves remain a valuable asset to any PvP team.

Yet the fact that all thieves play the exact same build already goes to show how terrible this patch is.
The goal and purpose of this patch was to create build diversity. So what’s the result: D/D, S/D, P/P and S/P are all still not competitive. They have entirely missed the intention. Previously you’d have S/D as an at least somewhat viable option, now it’s literally just D/P with DA/SA/TR (ok some people play CS>SA, awesome diversity!)

So even though you can still kick kitten in hotjoins because those people are oblivious, once you get against a somewhat decent player, you’re done for.
You said you’re new, so your experiences are skewed due to a lack of material to compare it with. Most people here have been playing thief for a significant time though and therefor know what’s wrong. I’m not saying this to be an kitten but really… Pretty much everything in this patch involves a Nerf for Thieves in one way or another.

This is so true. +1

Hey man, love your vids.
Thief is being forced to run d/p, IMO anet screwed thief really bad this patch.
D/D got me into playing and enjoying thief again, since it’s the only class I do enjoy at the moment, but now that it’s even worse than before I’m just thinking of quitting.
Dunno what Anet plans to do, but I doubt anything will happen soon.

F2 ability is fine. why would you want to be forced to use a skill just to steal again? that doesnt even make sense. This is the least of thieves problems right now, and not even a problem at all IMO.

Well they fudged up, for sure. If they kill thieves I will have a real shiny uninstall button.
Good post OP. All my experience with PvP or WvW atm is that I lost every ability to even get a safe stomp. Thief is a+1? More like -1 the way things are atm…

I’m on the same boat, needless to say I’m not happy at all with the changes. This game is completely broken atm.

Now anet fixes what they broke. Yesterday.
