Guild Wars 2

Obviously ddosed, since the lag starts with 2 minutes battle, and ends when tcg won

#friendshipisdead

good job anet… +1

can’t believe they didn’t nerf rev, for real.

lol at this update

Now i’ll need to wait to the next patch, maybe in 2016-2017 =\

Solo q was the best thing in this game, now i need to fight vs premades even if i don’t want to. They did wrong removing it.

3-4 gems for each points u have on leaderboard is a good idea in my opinion

nekretaal.6485:

Can any body confirm the sigil of Generosity in the Cold Weather Set?

Can anybody confirm permanent X-mas finisher?

i can confirm permanent finisher.

Cheese Mode will win.
Ez

if they nerf this fire/air combo bullkitten its fine, but if they don’t, i completely agree with you.

withdraw+ vigorous recovery+ feline grace+flanking strike+signet of agility
this is almost perma evade, and u can switch to shortbow and disabling shot+ infiltrator’s arrow+energy sigil if u want.

And yes thief got the best endurance regen in this game =)

esl > all stars tournament
what a shame.

Thief is OP in real coordinated teamQ, or top soloQ where all superpugs know what theyre doing. If youre a “bad” thief you may feel weak, but thats a l2p issue. But why learn your class, when you know theres a “black thiefy wall” upcoming, which you will never pass?

1) There is NO other counter than also play thief.
Never was and never….maybe….. but the mobility is just worth too much to give up strategically.

2) S/D evade is actualy good in most 1v1 matchups.
A mobile fortress? you get the idea how broken it sounds

3) Initiative = No CDs .
Old problem. It wont get fixed, just remember that it exists and hope that they keep it somewhat balanced. point 1&2 are bigger for pvp

+1 to this

Static.9841:

This is complete BS. A full existing team vs actual All Stars from different teams as it’s supposed to be. GG. This isn’t all stars, this is NA all stars Vs an EU Tol team. If Anet were going to send a full team to Gamescon you might as well have just sent the ToL winners from each region instead. What a joke.

i’m talking about s/d thief.
other thief builds are ok imo, since u can counter it, but doesn’t matter how they buff other zerk classes, ppl will stay with your bunker specs because thief can counter any zerker spec.

Steal is op, sure it is.
But s/d thief is not just about steal, u have initiative all the time, teleports, ilfiltrator’s strike, infiltrator’s signet, cloak and dagger, flanking strike, shadow refuge, infiltrator’s arrow, withdraw, signet of agility, feline grace, vigorous recovery, fluid strikes, kleptomaniac, preparedness, spam evades (u dont even need to think when to evade, just hit evade button all the time and its ok), and hit like 5k all the time cause u have sigil air/fire, and im not even mention trickery line and the fact that when u switch to shortbow u have energy sigil.
Now, how can you say this is not op?

lets buff zerker so they will left bunker specs
then everyone make a zerker ranger or engi,
get rekt by thief and back to your bunker again.
(sry for bad english).

the only way d/p thief can counter a good s/d thief is called panic strike.

S/d thief is fine, they just have few good skills.
flanking strike, feline grace, cloak and dagger, withdraw, shadow refuge, signet of agility, mug, vigorous recovery, kleptomaniac, preparedness, bountiful theft, infiltrator’s arrow…

Though I completely agree that Sizer’s S/D thief build is a cancer to PvP, I don’t believe the weapon set is the problem.

The problems with Sizer’s 20066 S/D thief build:

My main problem with this S/D build is the damage it can put out when it has 0 points in critical strikes. This is ALL due to “Sigil of Air” and “Sigil of Fire” as well as a 20s cooldown on “Steal” allowing the thief to never run out of initiative (Stealing Grants 2 initiative). The build is obviously meant to be a bunker thief so i have no problem with its sustain.

My ideal fix for the situation:
1) Don’t let “Sigil of Air” and “Sigil of Fire” stack or increase the proc cooldown to 8 seconds for both Sigils. Currently these two Sigils ruin nearly every Zerker vs Zerker fight with RNG and carry builds with little damage and high sustain, to suddenly have high damage and high sustain.
2) Increase the cooldown of “Steal” from 20s to 30s ATLEAST. There will be problems with this, I will address them below. or add some counter play so “Steal” can be dodged.
3) Huge damage reduction in “Flanking strike”, as this is an evade not a offensive skill. I suggest a base damage of around 200 rather than the 500 as it is currently. “Larcenous strike” already deals enough damage, it doesn’t need the extra damage of “Flanking strike”. “Larcenous strike” also has telegraphed animations so can be dodged.

Problems with increasing “Steal” cooldown:
This will hurt every thief build a lot more than S/D so the other thief builds must be given some sustain changes in order to keep them viable as D/P and S/P thieves need the steal to help with sustaining themselves, however these sustain changes must not be able to be used by S/D thieves as they already have enough sustain.

FYI: Any S/D thief that considers these changes to be too harsh, Sizer actually gave me most of the input on them. The main one being the Steal cooldown increase.

Gl with you post Misha, I hope the developers will take it seriously.

Frae

I totally agree with you, they need to do something about s/d thiefs asap, or they will ruin tol/all stars.

yeah it is dead, but if u want to try pvp just play war or thief sd. Ranger and mesmer is garbage.

The wrong thing is the thief mechanics.
Since u can spam ur skill over and over again, it will be overpower.

Clearly never played a thief in your entire life. Please, go make one and spam your attacks. See how often a decent player will utterly own you.

I play thief since beta and this is MY opinion, if u have a different one ok, but til now u said nothing to refute my words.

anet just dont want to remove skyhammer/dont give a ____ about what we think.

Please, just dont introduce perplexity to pvp, please, please, please.

yea, all is vain.

This tournament favored team paradigm, just look brackets, and do bo5 after you guys play all day was at least ridiculous, they had better have given the prize directly to tp. And yes nerf spirits.

its pretty much impossible to play with this lag in south america, now i can play for like 1-2 hours day.
Please fix this.
