Guild Wars 2

Nice gameplay man! hat build are you running in this if you mind me asking? I’m actually messing with a hybrid build myself and I’m kinda curious as to how you gear

Shoulda rolled a sylvari thief! So many people would’ve been like, “Man, this guy’s pretty cool. I wanna give him free stuff”. /serious <on>

Basically just stick with S/P and SB. Both have good utility and AoE damage. Gl with leveling!

There’s this one really cool thiefy guild called Senpai Notice Me [pls] on BG. You guys should all join that so we could be friends (and maybe give me free stuff or something iunno).

I’m liking the stat spread on this build mannn. Might try this outtttt

Man, the 2 spam was strong with the thief in the first clip. Great vid though! Not too often do you get to see a good power engi roam

Go Amon! The keyboard turning warrior nearing the end of your video made me /facedesk

No problem! Yeah, the thief definitely plays a lot different in this game than it does in other games with a “rogue” type of class. But hey, you know what they say. The first step at being awesome at something is usually sucking at it at first :P

The leveling in this game can be pretty tedious. The fastest way to level by far is to just craft, but that requires a ton of money (esp. now with the release of ascended armor). If you don’t have the gold to craft up your levels I’d suggest just doing map completion and basically every random event that you come across. It might take you a couple weeks but once you get 80 and gear up your toon you’ll be having tons of fun

I wouldn’t craft a full set of cavalier gear personally. I think it’s too much of a drop in power. I’d maybe mix in a cavalier trinket/weapon or two into your build and maybe use foods that give you power to compensate for the power loss.

I’d kinda go ahead and mess around with builds yourself. Really see what you what weapon sets and trait combinations you feel comfortable playing with :D

I use this for wvw:

And you can’t really go wrong with the trickery burst spec for spvp:

Seconded! ! Dat shirts! <3

<3 you guiseeeeee

I seriously didn’t ask him to make the post :x

Thanks for posting this Boulderd00d

Be sure to follow my twitch if you guys wanna see some more [RIOT] small group roaming

Edit: links work now and Brock Lesnar approves of this thread.

Pics or it didn’t happen

I stopped watching after 0:26. 222

I don’t even think adding more fluidity to the thief AA would be too much of a bad thing. We’d still revealed for a whole second more. More time for people to remember where their dodge button is and avoid the CnD ^.^

Don’t listen to those people. Just learn to adapt to the changes and make the best out of itb

Full zerker with 0/30/10/0/30 I assume? Very impressive vid. I can see a lot of other thieves start playing this way after the path later today :x

Edited what I assumed was the trait setup

swinsk.6410:

As far as I understood the two abilities specifically state getting nerfs were Mug and Stealth.

Shadow Refuge and Shadow Rejuvenation should not be changed.

If anything they should buff rejuv by 20% to compensate for nerf, imo.

Okay thanks. I wouldn’t mind a buff as compensation but tbh I think it’ll be fine if it stays how it is. We’ll just have to wait and see. Wouldn’t want this skill to be added to AN’s list-of-eventual-thief-nerfs -

Was there anything said during the SotG about a possible nerf to SR(I haven’t had time to really see it or read up on it ;_;)? The reveal debuff I can deal with, but I’d really like to keep the awesome regen SR gives us. Sorry in advance if this has already been answered in other threads.

Thanks.

The music in your vid’s so nice. Kids On The Slope and Baccano ^-^b

Imo they’re both great. I switch between the two very often because my build pretty much lets me (wvw). I feel that the dmg is slightly better on d/d but s/d’s Infiltrator’s Strike is invaluable tool to harass people. Always try to pop it around corners or near ledges(especially effective if you’re spec’d with Descent Of Shadows) and kind of poke at people until they blow all their cooldowns then interrupt heal > beat them to the ground.

Nice vid. But what’s your build? I’m guessing it’s a 0/30/30/10/0. How about your runes/sigils/equips?

I’m having this problem when I try to dye my T3 Sylvari Medium Armor to Midnight Fire. I dye the top and then the dye switches to the dye remove right when I exit the Hero Panel. ;_;

Definitely still feels like 33% lol

I assume they only buffed this because they made the IMS signets for the other classes from 10% to 25%. I’m w/e with it but I’m sure they could’ve buffed pistols a bit more -

I’ll be sure to PM ya as soon as I get the chance to ^-^

Change the skill completely. Turn it into a skill that summons a flying shark with a laser attached to it’s head.

I definitely agree with the OP on Unload and Ricochet. Unload needs some sort of condition element to it and Ricochet’s 7% chance is lame/unreliable.

<3 my thief

What Dagins said. You could make it even shorter but using the DA trait that gives venoms 20% less cd, giving them a 36 sec cd. What they really need is to buff the range on Venamous Aura. Tired of having to go hugging distance from my allies just to share venoms.

Pretty much ^
Run Venomous Aura and use Devourer venom and Basilisk venom. Use it while running along side a zerg and laugh as you enemies get aoe immobilize and stone.

Trying to get the CoF gloves. I think it looks pretty alright with those gloves though ^^

You’re an inspiration to all thieves everywhere. Has a cookie (>^.^)>#

I usually just run a condition spec and use Shortbow/DD for AoE condition spread. Effective if you stay at max range of your SB and kind of poke at people. If people get too close just be sure to time your dodges and Death Blossoms to avoid any damage (although usually hard to do with all the CC).
