Ya it doesn’t make sense really. If anything, light armor classes should be given a natural 20% increase in movement speed (not including buffs), medium armor 10%, and heavy armor, no bonus.

Heavy armor classes should not have the ability to leap around and charge forward much like they do now. They have high armor for a reason.. Those abilities should be scrapped and replaced with something more appropriate.

It makes perfect sense for an athlete to outrun a bookworm.

The athlete spends his day working out and eating. The bookworm spends his day sitting down in the durmond priory not moving or eating.

If anything, light armour classes should have an inherent -20% movement due to never doing any exercise.

I don’t give a kitten how strong you think you are, you can not do maneuvers which would be near impossible due to armor constraints. Heavy armor provided great protection for knights but at the cost of being slower and less maneuverable than a lighter armored opponent. What, do you think if you put an olympic high jumper in a full suit of plate mail armor he could still high jump?

Now I am not saying I agree with the OP completely but your argument is flawed.

Didnt take long for the know it all trolls to appear

Well when you post something as stupid as this to QQ about, you should expect this kind of reaction. Honestly, no MMO reprint CDs to include updates unless they are selling an expansion and then they tend to include previous updates at that time. Seeing GWs has not sold an expansion…

Of all the things would could try and make an argument against, you picked this?!? Seriously, I wonder if people will stop their QQ’ing if we are just left with “auto attack” ability…

Sure remove it and then add in a cheap to craft molotov kittentail, then we can all dispute how long it should take for a wooden door to burn…

As someone who really enjoys PvP content, I just am not that interested in sPvP. For me the issue is it seems to isolated from the rest of the game, it is almost like its a completely separate game all together. I understand why they did it but it just does really interest me due to the way it was setup.

Every other MMO with stealth has it doing just fine with such a change…So i dont see it being that much of a problem here, would stop them jumping into stealth every chance they get, would stop them from being easily able to run when they start to lose.

Failed logic because you are only comparing ONE aspect instead of the overall package. For example in WoW (were your suggested changes are in place) thieves have much stronger out of stealth defensive abilities and access to several stun effects. So you can’t just say it works fine and ignore that it works because of other aspects of the class that doesn’t exist here in GW.

yes, im suggesting to delete unskilled kitten thief as a profession
you complained about thief being so weak in wvw yet 20% population of wvw is thief determined it is a lie

Wait, didn’t you previously state that “because most people play warrior or guard” and yet you think that thieves are some huge balance issue?

The problem with making radical changes to stealth is simple. Anet intended the class to bounce in and out of stealth during an engagement. The class was designed to be played this way and making any large changes to stealth would require the class be re-tuned, otherwise it would be pointless to play.

Your thief changes are horrible, thankfully they will die in this thread…

perma stealth = perma useless.

I’m not talking about buffs nerfs but don’t you think its a little closed minded to state perma stealth is useless?

Not at all because it doesn’t help you take/hold a node, it doesn’t kill your enemy. Matter of fact all it does it HELP the other team because you may as well just stay in the starting area…

Well of course thieves are going to be strong in solo ganking situations, it offsets the fact they are nearly worthless in organized group PvP. So you can’t ask for one to be adjusted without adjusting the other.

Another day and another misinformed “nerf” thieves based upon complete BS…

“Thanks for the reports! We’re of this issue and have a potential fix in the works.”

It’s been a year and this quest still is bugged. I think you guys may need to look into this fix again…
