Guild Wars 2

I really wish there would be exotic dye that would have some sort of glowing/shimmering effect on them. (Might even make them legendary)

This is just hilarious… personally I play a thief and I can’t agree with any of the “zomg nerf” posters in this thread.

dd ele is not op, annoying perhaps, but not OP.

A lot of people complain about “perma-stealth”.
One thing that can be done about it is giving you a second debuff besides the one making you unable to stealth.
That would be a 10(?) sec stacking debuff making stealth last shorter.
The debuff will make stealth last 50% shorter down to 1 sec minimum stealth.

Thoughts about this?

An instance where you defend a castle (or anything similar).
Let’s say first the waves come from 1 side, after a while it starts coming from 2 ways and also increasing in numbers and/or harder to kill mobs.
Haven’t thought about whether or not you are able to complete the instance, or if the waves are suppose to run you over.
Depending on how many waves you can take down you get a chest rewarding you with the appropriate items.

It’s just a small suggestion but it could become something extraordinary!

One thing I would like to have implemented is the possibility to exchange the tokens achieved from expl instances.
The only reasonable way to make it work would maybe make you use 5 tokens get 2-3 of the requested one (or even less, let’s say use 10 get 1-2).
Otherwise it would attract the speedrunners group even more.

" Thief
Thieves are the masters of mobility, stealth and high single target damage. They can be very fragile if you counter their stealth with area of effects or large stacks of conditions, but they trade this fragility in order to have some of the highest burst damage in the game. They are able to help allies through traps, venoms and the mobility to flank most encounters. "

Seems to me they are working as intended

Ok… Explain this, im not a glass cannon, 2800 armor, 2900 armor when in earth attunement, dead in under 2 seconds and never even see the enemy. This is why people left the game, this is what they need to fix. It wouldn’t be so hard to fight back if you could see them…. And no do not say L2P because everyone knows thieves can just stealth several times to stay invis until they fight someone. Even then, 2 – 3 seconds of “revealed” doesn’t give people enough time to see them as the “revealed” debuff is off as soon as they get enough initiative to go invis again.

Absolutely 0 time to use a Cantrip to negate any damage. Arcane shield never pops up when the damage is all done in a matter of 0.5 – 2 seconds.

EDIT::: Just did some more testing with 3k+ armor and 1k Healing power. Did not die at all 2 entire games (no thieves in game).
People were getting aggravated that they couldn’t kill me, thief comes in, starts burst, I use utilities to avoid burst, 3 seconds later, all utilities on CD, thief does second burst… 3 hits, dead. Steal CnD Backstab over 3k armor, instant death.

EDIT: Added Video with 3k Armor test.

I truly enjoyed your video you got there….
First of all, you say no animation to dodge?
I see him cast both basilisk venom and C&D before using steal.
Watch your video again + the only burst he does is that part it’s not his 3rd burts or anything, it’s his first burst you die on due to the fact that you didn’t dodge.
Another thing, did you miss the other player? the thief wasn’t alone

What you are trying to do is make the thief go stealth more than he already does which the average player (at least on the forums) is hating on… since it’s soooo impossible to counter.
With that said I hope they don’t implement this because it will lead to double nerf, first backstab then stealth.

Edelweiss.9815:

I play Thief, Warrior and Guardian.

Thief is overpowered, it’s clear as day for me.

Stun – frenzy/haste (or what ever) – 100b, there you have the damage that you complain about

Don’t make this game into WoW… ignorant people spamming the forums which makes the devs think it’s the general thought of every player.
Call me mad or w/e but thief that use the glass-cannon backstab build dies reeeaally fast if you just could learn your own class before flaming on forums on others.
