Guild Wars 2

This is simply a general complaint and I would love to hear if anyone is having as much trouble. I cannot actually play through the story line of the game because I die in about 3 seconds after pulling.

I have a 27 thief, currently stuck at the level 14 quest. I’ve never seen a class with less mitigation in my life. Not only that, it’s somehow fair to the designers of these quests to make each pull about 6 enemies. Not everyone rolled a warrior and thieves were given next to nothing to prevent damage to themselves. Avoidance means nothing if you can’t do any damage while rolling around on the floor since you can’t actually group for the story quests.

So I would like anyone, particularly a mod/dev who had a hand in developing these story lines, to explain how I might be able to actually play through this part of the game I really looked forward to.

I understand wanting to try something different and truly love this game but a little mercy would be nice when all I want to do is play with my friends and see the story line unfold without smashing my head against a wall. It’s not a challenge, it’s practically impossible unless I completely respec my dps oriented character to tanking just so I can do this one quest. That should not be necessary.
