Guild Wars 2

There is no good hp value for thief …it will always be too low as we don’t have any passive defenses ..all is about stealth or evades ..in both cases if you get caught by cc it usually means bye bye ..start from waypoint.

So its rather how you feel ..with 17k you get comfort not to be one shot to oblivion ..other then that doesn’t really matter.

From other hand you just need out dps in 1v1 situations ..you can’t survive with the some dps against someone who has twice your hp ..moreover ..you need initial damage burst ..if enemy will survive your initial burst than better disengage and try again ..you will not stand against classes with good sustain ..no chance.

Hard choice ..be more like nuisance mosquito ..or like angry wasp – easier to clash but with more painful stings.

Just try both and choose whatever better suits you.

Some of you are weird ..really ..so you want force ppl to use unplayable weapon sets by nerfing only viable option for this class ?

lol ..you know what will happen if anet make your wish true?

People will just switch to some other cheesy class instead of torturing themselves with some horrible set of skills.

Get some brain and ask for other weapon sets improvements instead of moaning over something which work well.

Is it only me? I have terrible lag spikes (like 1000+ ms) on new wvw maps.

On EB which more populated with active players no lags at all ..neither on new pve maps or pvp.

Are new wvw maps bugged or what?

You will get nowhere with dishonor

Will you get rid off trolls? Not likely ..they will troll anyway ..maybe less frequently.
Rage quit players still will rage quit when their team mates are utter noobs
Players who leaves occasionnaly due to dc or some real live incident will only get kittened off which results in diminishing player base.

This was tested over and over in different games. It only works for huuuge player base when you don’t have to care about players which will be trapped in dishonor by accident and rage quit the game totaly.

The only rasonable solution is to let match go on 4v5 with substantial buffs for cripled team (extra speed, enhanced def/attack, faster match points count) to compensate lack of player.
No one hurt …no grudges ..some extra fun from enhanced champion.
Those enhancments should be substantial to make real difference.

aspirine.6852:

I dont see the problem here.

Here is explanation ..they can use those sieges without any punishment ..you can’t counter them in any way ..can’t go destroy siege ..can’t kill siege users/builders …from other hand they can bomb your team trying to capture tower …not fair.

I don’t belive punishment will work… they will still rage quit if their team sucks terrible… even if they will be baned for it.

Banning only get rid of trolls as they can calculate punishment vs their actions but probably most leavers are just players dissapointed with their team progress/cooperation and their decision is more emotional than calculated.

The only way to balance such situation is just add extra survival buff to weakened team …more speed, toughness, power ..whatever necessary to make even competition 4vs5

This change practically broke stealth builds relaying on “Shadow Arts” tree.
Oder builds can still go on ..pity is that we are experiencing only nerfs ..they are small ones but every time in different areas ..so overall thief is going to be laughable class very soon.
Unfortunately for me “Shadow Arts” build was my favorable ..no point to play this toon anymore ..swithing to ele or warrior with hope I’ll find as much fun as I had with thief for last two years.
