Stealth: Attacking consistently while totally 100% stealth….?
Please explain how this is balanced?

If you did a simple forum search. The answers you seek can be found all over the forums. Your welcome!

Could you also show your character pane, traits, armor runes, etc. Would like to see if someone, that is not built to do huge amounts of damage, take that much in a few hits.

OR you could be a warrior using frenzy

I am officially apologizing to every thief, forum members and my server. I have created several post of shame mainly against the thief because I got owned by a couple of high skilled players and immediately got butt hurt. This was unacceptable behavior and for that I am extremely sorry. I am sure a lot of skills in this game need to be toned down or changed but that is not for me to decide, and complaining on the forums about it only lowers the quality of the community. The reason behind my post was to help alleviate the anger I had at the state of the necro class compared to the thief as the necro was my first level 80. Once I hit 80 I farmed my exotic gear and hit the WvW with my engineer friend. Up until this point I was blissfully unaware of the state of my class vs. other classes like the thief. So finding myself laying face down in the dirty over and over again by the same class was extremely frustrating. Then whenever we found a thief solo he/she could easily evade our attacks, stealth and teleport away. I thought to myself, how could the developers give one class such huge burst damage, the best mobility, and great survivability? I thought this was unfair and started hating immediately.

I now think that the thief is not overpowered nor is it a skill-less facemashing class. It is simply more complete then the necro. I came to this epiphany when I ditched the necro and leveled my engineer (my current main) to 80 and started WvWing. I saw how the engineer, like the thief, was more complete and filled a very niche roll in wvw. The thief is meant to be an assassin and scout. They can sprint around the map, calling out enemy troop movements, escape if they happen to get caught by a larger force and destroy solos trying to reinforce any positions. I don’t know about you all but that sounds like a stealther from DAOC to me. Why the hell should I get made at that? The engineer has his own niche in WvW too. Sure I have a much harder time escaping then a thief and my 1v1 isn’t as bursty as a thief but I can melt people during sieges with grenades + haste. I also have a very solid rifle build that is extremely efficient at mid ranged combat. My necro is extremely underwhelming when compared to these two classes and started me off down the wrong path of shame.

So in summation, I “Sound of Cheese, From StormBluff Isle” am sorry for posting on your forums and bring dishonor to myself, my class, and most importantly my server.
Best of luck to everyone and I hope to see more HoD scouts out and about this week!

I wish I could save this as my signature

I’ve personally not met everyone of my class in my server I feel sad now.

on a side note, Shield does need improvement. Doesn’t make me feel any more defensive than wielding my 2 handed hammer

Lol. This is a funny post. 3 guys get caught in Pistol Whip spam 2-3 times in a row. Not very bright on your part OP.

I’ve read this somewhere before…

EDIT: Found it!

Everyone wants any class that they’re not playing nerfed. True story.

Gullik can sometimes be found visiting Kileens grave.

OMG thanks.

Thanks on Kileen. Was my favourite character in the story

Spoilers ahead

So does anyone know the location of the characters in Ghosts of Ascalon?
I heard Dougal Keane is with the Vigil somewhere and he talks about the events of that fateful day.

I just wanted to know if I’ll be able to find Gullik Oddison and Ember Doomforge as well as Killeen.

Stealing is awesome

Stealing from the spirits in AC gives you the Fear ability. Which is awesome to use as a CC.
Don’t always focus on increasing damage in a dungeon, throwing in blinds, weaknesses, stuns, etc and your own survivability in the mix is essential. This is what I feel is a common mistake people make when doing dungeons

Thieves use whatever they have at their disposal. Saying we’re not assassins or rogues is just stupid. If a Norn thief had to use his Asura buddy as a weapon, he would.

Old videos and one with a warning at the start of the video that says “the following video contains strategies that only work against people that are terrible at this game” ?
Your point?

I say, let them cry and get Heartseeker nerfed. Thieves have other ways to kill people who cry when they can’t win.

Good players use dodge, LoS, invulnerables, root, stuns, etc to avoid Heartseeker spam then followed by a counter attack when the thief is drained of all initiative.

Bads gear their characters with damage boosts, high precision, high power and a wee bit of toughness/vitality because they expect it to be enough. Then they meet another glass cannon, in the form of a thief, and pretty much get owned.
Those are the players who spend their time in SPvP wandering around the map alone because they think they’re skilled enough to not follow others/orders.
