Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Point of view from an average/good War Player

Most of the time Thief are engaging me with a single 1v1 burst try… and most of the time they die … Always thinking "Not vs a Warrior, you can’t mitigate the damage I do "

Then from time to time I see other thief playing that 1v1 in a different way : burst … safe area reburst and so on … and then well my comments gets into a “Well ..it’s a no match ..nothing I can do here”

It’sounds to me really like a gameplay issue most of the thief have … they are jsut trying to burst and don’t care on their life, AoE ….

Thief have mobility, Shadow and strong burst ..that is somehow balanced with low health…
From my point of view currently they are mainly made to focus/down& then escape mid-low health target and not for a pure 1v1 or running into a 5v5 fight with full AoE around

but then another question came in mind …Messmer or Thief ?)… Messmer are so OP currently and similar skill in term of shadowing& burst but allows much more errors…

Regarding 2v2 … I believe they are some really good combos like e.g. : 2thief or Thief + Ranger … wihich both have crazy burst capabilities
