Guild Wars 2

I run sword/pistol and for the most part I really enjoy it. You can Shadowstrike in, immobilize for 1 second, quickly stun for half a second with pistol whip, pop 2 signets for 10 stacks of might and do roughly 8k dmg. That being said a Warrior can Bull Charge, which is a 2 second immobilize, frenzy and 100 blades for roughly 14k dmg. In full Invader gear I have roughly 13k HP. A Warrior in full Invader gear has roughly double that. I have the trait to vanish after taking 20% damage but its worthless since you are rooted and their 100 blades are still hitting you. Its near impossible to kite a warrior as a thief if you do survive their initial onslaught and ranged attacks such as Unload in dual pistol don’t do anywhere near enough damage to kill them from ranged without being bum rushed. I love thief classes in just about all MMo’s but I am quickly going from enjoying my thief to feeling underpowered and squishy.

It’s already been stated. If you get Bola’d or CC’d and you don’t have a CC breaker or you don’t dodge. You deserve to eat HB+Frenzy. It’s not hard to dodge and it’s not hard to stop. It’s a tradeoff skill, for good damage, you take high risks. You’re a sitting duck when you’re using the skill and you can easily be interrupted.

I’m sorry but if ANET wants to NERF HB. You better make it so that we can cast HB while on the move.

As for too many people using Greatswords, are you seriously going to QQ about that? This is a sad day.

Haha, ok well than I suppose they should up the damage on Pistol whip since Warriors have 2x the health of thiefs and make that ability mobile too huh?

Bullcharge+Frenzy+100B = 14k dmg in 2seconds. If you don’t think Warriors are OP then you clearly never WvW. The fact that I have a 2 second window even with my stealth popping to break bullcharge and dodge when my stun breaker is a 30second cd. Whats the CD on 100b like 6 seconds if spec. Even if you are able to get away they more than likely did 10k dmg to you and can now finish you off with auto attacks. On the bright side though, if that ability doesn’t get nurfed im leveling up a warrior to join the ranks of the OP.

Bullrush+Frenzy+100 blades is a OP. I have a 80 thief in full invader and can be killed before I am even able to break stun and attempt a dodge. Those three skills will kill anyone under 14k life, if it doesn’t than just chase after them and spam your auto attack. Warriors Cheesy OP atm.

Warriors are completely OP. Bull Charge+ Frenzy+100 Blades instantly kills anyone under 14k. If they do get away with a shred of life they get bola’d and can be easily killed by spamming your basic attack which crits for over 2k. You have massive amounts of health making it impossible for another class to easily burst you out. If your playing a warrior and you think they aren’t OP than your clueless. Its impossible to build an “anti-melee” build if you are instantly killed by 3 skills from a distance. But nice try.
