Guild Wars 2

@ Malediktus Do you put any thing in there beside’s the great swords?
@ Voqar I can’t tell if you are talking about economics in GW2 or the United State of America :P I feel ya though; it’s just wrong, but no one ever does any thing about it.

I’m still mostly enjoying all the idle talk, but a simple ‘mute’ key on the crafting screen would suffice.

I still love “Through imaginary combat?”

^^ Yes PLEASE! Not only are Black Lion Chest a dead drop; now I get useless food as well.

My experience with DD is as varied as a weapon set can be in this game I think.
1 Basic attack when I’m recharging; I also get +10% damage if I’m over 6 initiative
2 I never spammed this; even before the ‘nerf’ (although I am noticing this attack ‘missing’ a lot recently for some reason). I use this one or twice when my target is low on health, or as a way to get back on my target faster than running
3 This is so powerful that it is tempting to spam and it avoids attacks. So good in PvE. Harder to catch peeps with this in PvP.
4 Nice ranged ‘aoe’ damage with a long cripple. When combined with roll with initiative you can crank five of these out in short order while keeping your distance. It’s just mop up after that.
5 Stealth, vulnerability and back stab. Need any one say more?

I confess though that I’m not condition spec’d so #3 isn’t as tempting to spam.

As to prodigy’s comment. Ya know … there are some situations that I had to fight tooth and nail for; barely escaping with my life. Then some large armored dude with a giant sword come’s in and rick rolls every thing in a matter of seconds with out moving (if you don’t count spinning to win). I do feel a little put out some times, but then I remember I like living by the skin of my teeth.

Forced mouse targeting with shortbow >< I can either use left hand on mouse with mouse buttons for most of the shortbow optoins; or switch to right hand mouse and G numbers for basic movement. bah …

For the most part there is nothing wrong with this class. Sure it might need a tweak or two, but nothing major.

It’s obvious the OP doesn’t actually want to learn how to play the class better. He/she makes excuses for every suggestion.

If you don’t like the way the class was designed, but enjoy the arch type this can be frustrating. If it’s more a matter of you can’t/wont learn how to play it well then I imagine it’s still frustrating.

I think the thief class is fantastic and am having loads of fun with it.

I like playing a dark caster, but have never been very fond of pets. The one exception was in Age of Conan. The ranged caster pets looked bad azz.

Gear drops like candy from the sky not to mention you can buy gear with karma. Couple that with quick leveling and most gear has very little or no value above vendor trashing.

If you don’t want to craft your self you can sell every thing you collect for a decent chunk of change.
