Guild Wars 2

Those videos were kinda silly. WvW was terribly inaccurate as a representation of what thieves can hit for, and thieves in sPvP can hit around 9k stabs without too much difficulty.

Just they’re not hitting those numbers or even close to them at all without something like my build, which is not at all viable in sPvP.

Also noteworthy is that getting crits that high in sPvP in general is difficult, as critical damage is effectively capped much below that of PvE/WvW.

Stupid to be having a thief vs warrior hate thread. I recently picked up a S/S war using celestial/krait, and it works wonders in sPvP. FT hurts glassy players, but it’s not some kind of crazy mega-nuke skill, either. Berserker war focusing on FT for damage is going to have just as much luck as a berserker signets D/D thief such as my WvW build building for pure backstabs; might work in WvW, does not work in sPvP.

Well i will first say that iam pretty much a noob at this gam, but still, i tried out thief in sPvP again, and what ever target i attacked i couldnt get close to get 9k backstabs, how do you do that? mine where at a silly number of 3,5k, but then again i could have done something wrong, and i don’t agree with 2 shotting classes either, but when you are facing terrible players, that actually were worse then iam, and i still couldnt kill them, its kinda silly.
I just felt like the skillcap of thief is waaay higher then other classes, i could be wrong, but still, if that is the case, isnt that unfair?

And people saying stealth is good is also silly, i rather take more hp and more defense over stealth anytime, sine that you can’t aoe and autoattack threw.

Iam not trying to whine or Q_q, i just want to learn, and i don’t think thief is the class for me, going to try warrior, but don’t like the so called meta spec and rather play with a GS/LB combo.
