Guild Wars 2

*Posted the same in the thief forum. I think its an easy to pick up hard to master type thing. I can say the same thing about hundred blades. If that is the only thing you use and depend on a good player who has learned how to fight classes will school you if all you do is heartseeker spam.

I play a thief as my main. I understand where some of you are coming from with the heartseeker spam. Its definitely annoying, but I think its just that. On my thief I can easily outplay a heartseeker spammer, and I actually enjoy seeing it because its an obvious sign that the person doesn’t understand how to fully use the class and I take advantage of this.

I also have 4 alts I like to play with. Ranger, Mesmer, Elelmentalist, and Guardian. I have solo’d HS spammers on my ranger and Guardian, but have not encounter any yet with my Ele and Mesmer as they are relatively new. But with Ranger and especially Guard they both have tools to combat HS spam. I have a Guard friend that I play with, and when we were previously shuffled I tried to HS spam him just to test it and I did not win the fight.

Having a thief as my main but also playing other classes I can’t support HS spam or a nerf when I know I can counter it. I think its fantastic that thieves have a gap closer as well as a finisher, where HS shines as a finisher. I think thieves need HS for the nature of the class, but as with hundred blades, if that is the only thing you rely on a skilled player will easily pick you apart.

I vote to keep downed state. It adds another level to the combat, whether I am fighting for my life, or trying to bring an ally back while in combat I really think it adds a lot to the game play. Each have their own draw backs, risk/rewards. I say def keep it.

I say this having lost downed fights and chasing Mesmers around trying to figure out which is the real one. Its all in good fun. Definitely a double edged sword, but a fun one in my opinion.
