Guild Wars 2

A-Net is in a difficult position…

They want to keep all them kids but they got no candies.
Other old men do have plenty of candy and so A-Net had to make this step but my problem with this … it was no step in some sort of a right direction.. more like a step off the edge to finally lose the race for dem kids.

What can I say… HELLO WILDSTAR my body is ready and so is my mind by now.

Mira.

With 30pts in Critical Strike you will have 300 Ferocity not 150.

I not sure with the food so i’ll forget about it for now. Your base ferocity will be at 1139 or 75% crit damage. Compare to the 113% you have right now.

Its a 33% nerf. Which is quite a lot. But crit damage is only part of your damage. Its not a 33% nerf of your damage.

I’ll still continue with basic number from gear and trait alone. You should be around 2400-2500 power and 60% crit chance. Lets say you are doing a heartseeker when the target is at 100% hp.

1100 × 2400 × 1/2600 = 1015 dmg. (i took 1100 for weapon dmg and 2400 as power)

If you add up your crits. In average you gonna do 1015 × 0.60 × 2.53 = 1541 damage
With the new stats, in average you gonna do 1015 × 0.60 × 2.25 = 1370 damage

That’s a nerf of 9.18% of your damage. That is pretty much what they said there were doing. A 10% nerf for a full DPS build.

All right in theory, but you forget one thing… Backstab will get such a huge nerf, that it will maybe even be not worth the inatiative considering autoattack will deal nearly the same amount without any costs.

My calculation isn´t that bad but still its clearly over 10%…

My thoughts are that GW1 players seems to whine a lot. No wonder that game did need heros, because nobody probably wanna play with you.

Here, take my like.

You deserve it.

Here you go.

did fraktals 20+ yesterday with 2 glasscannon thiefs and a condi thief
Wasn´t a perfect setup but we had no problems.

thief in pve simply requires more skill than considering pvp/wvw

most ppl suck more at being a brainafk class like warrior than on being squishy like the thief

but the truth will never be revealed.

They probably sit in their Dev.-Rooms just to design new gay backpacks and stuff.

Thats also my basic problem Strayhand,

I mainly want to know WHY this nerf was even needed or what was the reason for it to happen.

But as usual those guys won´t answer a single kittening question made by the community.

Yeah, but in the gw2 case they didn´t create a kittened up class, they made it a kittened up class.

thx for this thread.

I´m so freaking angry, I think ima burn down some cars to show my protest.

No seriously.. this nerf AGAIN is a big joke in my eyes.
You try to weaken the wvw and spvp thiefs and hit the pve thiefs right in their nuts.
Also this is the second nerf in a row after the aggro nerf.

Keep that up A-Net and you´ll score a freaking ACE in killing the class.

One last thing I wanna say,
I´m a 95% PVE Thief and also think that wvw and spvp needs a nerf, but weakening the pve part of a class that has the lowest health pool in the game and not even the hightest dmg is just redicious.
