Guild Wars 2

Often times it happens that there are two thieves in our team, so usually one of us has to reroll. What would be the best alternative in sPvP for thief? I know it depends on team comp and that, but I’m mainly interested in which class do you think is second best at what the thief does in a pvp game

Thanks.

Has anyone tried using superior runes of the mesmer on their theif yet? I’m thinking WvW/PvP here mainly.

Hi,

I’m considering switching from Thief main to Warrior main in PvP and was wondering if you guys could give me a heads up on how the Warrior class is doing at the moment in PvP.

Please save the “it’s kitten” or “it’s op” kind of comments, thanks.

title says it all, has anyone else experienced this before?

Hey guys,

I’m looking for a PvP/PvE guild. I came back after a bit of break and now looking to freshen up my skills in PvP and enjoy the new content of PvE. I’m on Whiteside Ridge (EU). I was in Diamond League before I decided to have a break, now I plan to go higher and get to Legendary. I’ve been playing thief since I started playing Guild Wars 2 (2 and a half years ago), and am still loving it (However, this new dodge animation is quite kittened lol).

If you think I’m worthy to be a part of your guild, do not hesitate to contact me in game!

Have fun!

All right, thanks for all the answers.

Hi Anet,

Just a simple question: Will we be getting any new content any time soon? By that I mean within a couple of months.

A simple yes or no would do, thanks.

Hi,

Just like you did with the ranger sword, would it be possible to rework the s/d setup for thief? Personally this is my favourite setup but don’t find it nearly as effective as other setups.

Share ideas and discuss.

Cheers.

Hey all,

Is celestial armor still viable for elementalists for wvw?

Thanks.

Hi Anet,

Have you considered modifying the animation of the dash dodge for thief? Can’t exactly recall its actual name, the one which gives you perma swiftness. It looks a bit rushed to be honest.

I’ve been playing thief since day 1, and to be honest, I have mixed feelings about the thief’s position in the game at the moment. While its role in pve has become more significant, its position in pvp has become inferior compared to other classes.

In my opinion, the problem is that in the current meta game in PvP the role of this class is just basically not needed, and more importantly, this role can’t be altered, which leads to my second point.

The diversity of builds available for thief. Instead of explaining my argument, I would rather suggest you to go to metabattle.com and check out the available and viable builds for Elementalist and Thief. You’ll see what I’m talking about. (Note that I’m talking about the classes in general not only PvP.)

Another issue that I would personally pay more attention to is the Acro trait line. While it should be focusing on evades, the Daredevil trait line provides more and better offensive and defensive traits connected to evades (Heal on evade, condi removal on evade, bounding dodger, perma swiftness with UC etc.), which leads me to the question: Why is the Acro trait line even there?

However, I’m quite happy with the changes Anet’s made to the d/p setup, I’ve always been a d/p player, simply because (for me) that’s the only weapon setup where which every skill from 1 to 5 is somehow useful and worth spending inititative on. I also like doing combos, and this weapon setup handles that as well.

Overall, I think more attention should be payed on the Acro trait line, build diversity and the role of the class in PvP.

Thanks for reading.

Hey,

I was wondering whether someone can give me a heads up reagarding this skill. I’ve been playing thief since I started playing, and I just came back after a little break. I see many thieves spamming Head Shot cause of this trait. My question is: If you land an interrupt twice or more successfully, will the latter Impacting Disruption trigger the former, while applying a new stack on your foe?

Thanks.

Cheers folks for all the replies!

Hi!

My question is simple. Which armor stats are better at the moment for the thief? Zerker or Marauder? (PvE and WvW, I know the meta in PvP is Marauder)

Cheers.

Hello everyone,

I’m not sure if it’s just me or do you guys also feel a bit confused, when you’re roaming around in the Silverwastes for example, and the soundtrack “Dawn in Shaemoor” comes up. I think it really makes the zone lose its authenticity. I’d rather listen to 3 soundtracks over an hour just to keep the feeling authentic.

Also, from my experience, combat music only comes up after your health bar reaches a certain threshold. For example, killing an Icebrood boss in HotW while listening to the gentle piano soundtrack of the shiverpeaks doesn’t quite make me feel like I’m in a serious battle.

These are not terrible things, more like little details which don’t require that much attention, but sometimes, less is more. I hope this reaches the audio team and they come up with something that solves these things, and make the game more authentic.

Let me know what you guys think.

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering whether a half Zerker(shoulders,gloves,shoes)/Soldier(head,chest,leg) armor set works better or a full Valkyrie set for thief in WvW. From what I know you get more toughness and precision with zerk/soldier and more hp and critical dmg with valk. I’m talking about d/p setup, mainly 06620 or if I go yolo 26006. Trinkets and weapons are zerker.

Any tips?

Cheers in advance.

I’d love to see rifle on thieves.. how cool would that be, like a sniper who backs the team up from distance. Other than this, Anet has never really disappointed me, so I’ll let them amaze me again.
