Guild Wars 2

In Spvp I run Perma evasion build, With 4 sigils of energy in my dagger sets. The sigils stack and work. You guys can test it out yourself. Just need to wait a half a sec for the endurance to kick in on swap. If you interrupt the 100% endurance you get back. You need to wait for the CD(9 seconds) again.. This build in WvW is a decent one for soloing camps. With no invaders around. I have done it before multiple times. But The draw back is the mobility.. The weakness to this build is. High DPS/Chill/Condi removal/Kiters/Perma Stealth W. Condi removal & heals in stealth.

It certainly is viable in WvW, but don’t count on it to save your life in zerg fights. As i said in the earlier posts, it is a support build. Having the extra bleeds on an enemy during a 5v5 will help your team out tremendously.

Even in Spvp, I solo Bosses, and Keep Lords.

My prediction is the rise of the Venom-Crit-D/P//SB and it being called OP. 30/15/25. Basilisk Venom Stun? Check. Devourers+Skale? Check. Interrupt/Daze? Check. Blinding Powder+HS+Stealth+Backstab? Check.

I do perma dodge build in Spvp. I run D/P full GC backstab build in WvW. It has everything a Thief would want/need.

I hope I hear more out of people..

You know, Aiki’, I should give holding points a try instead of the full roamy takey fighty thing.

Maybe it was me not having the proper mindset. I wanted to try this in WvW too, but meh, can’t seem to convince myself it would be viable ish. I’ll tweek my head around it in sPvP some more first.

Would you like to duel me sometime. Because i can show you what this build can do. Yeah and WvW thats the key word you said. It’s HORRIBLE in wvw.. I go full Glass in WvW..

The actual reason for the Perma evasion build is to troll points, and hold for your team . Not quite bunker, but evasive. This is a 1v1/ 2v1/ rarely 3v1 build. It is support.. to sum it all up.

Thank you Lord i am in agreement with your statement. As i said in my post. It is the user, not the Class. that is ‘OP’

And yes WyldKat the thief can have the best of both worlds in some situations and builds, but due to this pretty minor, but noticeable change on stealth, our trait tree with shadow arts, will need a little bit of work. Yes people adapt to situation, i am all for that. But there are certain builds that people would like to have, which won’t be viable due to these constant changes(builds). So it’s either your go full Balls to the groud GC/ Tank/Evasion/ etc, but the intermediate, will be slightly less viable. In my perspective. But then again. It is not the thief. It is the User that makes it work

Hello Everyone,

So from what I have been hearing and seeing all over the forums is that the Thief is OP or in other words kittening (Over Powered). But let us take a moment to think about that bold statement. Let it seep in. Okay now, is it the Thief or the user that is “OP”? Now let that same user hop on a Ranger/Ele/Warrior/Engi.. etc and smash all classes that stand below it. Should that specific class be considered OP? If not considered, than there is a serious problem that has emerged and clouded minds of foreign classes (non Thief class). The Thief is like any other class. It has it’s obvious advantages, and obvious drawbacks. Can we all take a minute to collectively and proactively talk about these advantages and disadvantages of the Thief. I do not like seeing the thief forum bombarded with crying, and nerf this, OP that. Lets talk.

P.S- let us keep in mind- Endure Pain/MistForm/Elixir’s/Invulnerability/Block,Block,Block,Block, Fear (Draw backs to a Thief in my perspective)

But let me say in my honest opinion (Away from all of what i said above). I believe in my opinion, the Thief is not as over powered as one may perceive. (The Thief specifically, not the User). My opinion on the Thief Utility’s(besides the obvious “OP” Stealth) are that they are very poor compared to other classes, and our traits could use A LITTLE tweaking here and there.

Please I would like to hear what any and everyone has to say. If you disagree with me at any point feel free to say so.

Always enjoy it in wvw myself. I use 0/10/0/30/30, or 0/20/0/30/20. Two stunbreaks, sig of agi. Withdraw, d/d+d/d or sb.

Btw, two sigil of energy’s dont stack.

Use 1, and force or accuracy. gain my gear is mixed so i keep +50%cd, 37-41 crit with traits, and bleeds ticking 74-80. Use +40% end food.

2 Sigils of energy do stack, actually 4 of them do. 2 on each dagger set. I use it in pvp frequently. There is just a half second you have to wait before switching weapons while with 0 endurance, in order for endurance bar to be full again.

As a Commander of CNB I welcome the new tier and competition. Kaineng even though we have changed and our losing streak has diminished, we still have that Kaineng pride, and fighting spirit. Lets not forget the original Kaineng guilds like SoS, KAIN, DE, etc. But lets not forget or overlook the newer guilds that came to our aid in helping Kaineng achieve success. WM plays a big part in this protecting and serving Kaineng. As a representative of Kaineng, and CNB we Thank and Appreciate everything. And as much as it pains me to fight against my original server my home Tarnished Coast. I have found a new home right here in Kaineng. I love, respect, and have pride for anyone and everyone who represents Kaineng as a whole. Good luck to all tonight.

~Cheers..
