Guild Wars 2

Ahhh, this is why I came to the forums. Personal info gold basically. Anyway, I’m wasting tons of initiative on my unload skill without a high enough damage output so make using that much worth it? Because that would make more sense about why the damage out put is so low. Back to D/D I suppose. Thanks everyone for your comments!

Thank you ASP, more helpful information, so basically, I shouldn’t be basing (for the most part) end-game pvp damage on mists because of the stat reduction of structured?

Another good point xyger, I suppose I just have to get used to dragging fights out for 20 minutes lulz. So, to answer my main question, is there ANY way to keep up with the other classes as far as damage output? Most of my curiosity on the topic has be satisfied besides this one factor. Can I keep up with DPS endgame? Assuming I’m built correctly.

Your obviously not specced properly as the warrior then if your only hitting for 700-900. Also, keep your input constructive. kthx

I’m a condition build level 40 using duel pistols and a short bow. I would love to use D/D but unless it’s 1v1 on a non Vet mob, it’s a two shot then to the grave. My PvP testing took place (In the heart of the mists) with all weapon combo’s, my own builds, suggested build (from other players) and build that I researched online.

I’m more concerned with viability of the thief. I’m forced to use weapon combo’s that are not enjoyable to me in order to keep up with damage (what little that may be) . And the ability to Kite enemies is basically unprecedented when it comes to Thief gameplay but in PvP those skills become almost completely useless (Unless your 1v1)

So I’ve been having a hard time coping with how sad Thieves are in Gw2 and I was wanting some community input.
So……

Not only do I have absolutely no armor, but it turns out my weapons do no damage. (compared to other classes) Sword and dagger? lulz. Better damage could be attained using a stick (Mh) and a dead fish (off-hand) Been working with every type of build/weapon combo imaginable and yet I can’t even begin to keep up with other classes. I was doing an event by myself, I can’t remember where but the objective was to take the ogre camp and kill the 3 ogre chiefs. So, struggling as I was with the ranged mobs running around avoiding all damage because, as you may know, I am frequently two shotted by mobs. Then a warrior comes up, same level as me, and starts bossing everything? To add to that he is tanking about 4 mobs and a Veteran Ogre Chief. In my 30 second fight with a Ogre, he managed to kill 4 Ogre’s and the Veteran Ogre Chief, all the while just eating up all the damage dealt to him. It makes me not even want to play my thief because unless I get someone alone in Structured PvP, there is no chance for me to win. This is not a skill issue because, in all humility, I’m a hardcore gamer.

I understand being two shotted by most mobs and this is the way it should be (sort of) because I am very quick with lots of avoidance abilities. This is not the part that upsets me. It’s the FACT that no matter what, I CANNOT keep up with damage output with ANY other class.

So, enough QQing…….thoughts?
