Guild Wars 2

sad but TRUE
Mobilitiy … well other classes come very close to thiefs best Facet
Stealth …. well other classes can do more “permastealth”

well, but ppl have to make their own experience; gl and hf

Always funny to see thiefs using withdraw on skyhammer and on a crashed platform ^^ also Engis using knockback on a reflect shield and falling XD

im playing s/d sooooo
2+f1 instant gapcloser on far range and then proc quickness , venom, and if he dont have signet he dies in 2 sec or less

its normal, ppl get mad if they were beaten in 1vs1
I also played loooong time with my s/d trickery quickness thief …. after I own someone they wisper me things like noob thief and started chasing me in zerg fights so 3vs1 … i never used any stealth skills and still can get away … its the funny point where you know what builds ppl play and how good you know your own class and what counter you have ^^
cheers

THE CHARR ANIMATION of the sword looks horrible; yes
would like to see something like charr warrior sword animation or from thief
the beginner strike is most dsigusting, plz do something anet

hammer1 – best autoattack on range with great dps
hammer2 – great range dps on 3rd pulse on 2 sec cd ….
hammer3 – evade frame with traveloption if you have orb ^^ and good dps
hammer4 – block wall on 12sec cd … nice
hammer 5 – knowdown EPIC great for offense and defense to kite

Hammer is my favorite, just standing outpoint and shoot them all because capping and then losing is more important ^^, also this will be my first crafted legendary

So, no hammer traits needed ..

INSTANT tripple port or quad port
-thief

pvp is player vs player and not P+canonvsPvsholestheground ….
also the new gamemode P+NPCsvsP

more then 1 thief in team means lose, if you play against good players
if you win with more then 1 thief , your opponents are rly bad
golden rule of tpvp

glaphen.5230:

Pretty balanced.

pretty WHAT CLASS can take 50k condi and more condi dmg , NERF CLASS VITA
you should die to max 20k burning instant ^^

Roxxor reloaded

“They’re deadly in one-on-one combat using their agility”

I remember earlier gw2 times where you could backstab nearly everything in pvp … ^^
not much skilled but effectiv
Now you cant even 1vs1 a class you have to 1+1vs1 to get good players down … I think the same thing will happen with revenant

well the video doesnt show 1vs4 other classes, its more 1vs4 other pve noobs
no focus or attention from your enemies on ya skills
ppl need to understand and play rev to counter them, instead of button smashing from BOTH sides …. but looks like previous warriors when they were buffed ; OMG WARRI GOT GOD MODE ON plz NERF
<focus and drop some hard cc, its not like rev has unlimited stunbreakers or condiremoves ….. oh i ofrgot and some ppl play the 666666 build

its not dev fault if matches ends in 5vs4 ,
there are ALWAYS LEAVERS
ppl who think if they had lost if they left behind 100 or 200points are unexperienced

Griffith.7238:

Yeah I wouldn’t hold those two’s feedback in high regard you are doing way better then they give you credit for. Aside from twitch firing a few Phase Smashes and Hammer 5s way off target the only real mistake you make is under valuing sword auto. With that said most of these fights are 1vX and not 1v1 in which case your touch and go fighting style is considerably more effective then trying to throw out autos which cause you to take way more damage then you would in a 1v1. You have excellent game sense. Using Chaotic Release and then snapping 180 degrees to land it and using Hammer 5 around corners to bait enemies into it are both great tactics. If you were really “button mashing” to the degree they claim you would be running out of energy long before legend swap cd and would not be able to survive as long as you do. I’d say you have a great handle on this class just don’t forget that Sword AA it’s quite strong.

well,IT IS the usage of skills in a correct situation ; the energy isnt the problem here
if you know what the ele is using for weapons and what passives are activating during combat you can easily counter him …
MUCH to learn you have, young Padawan! ^^ Remember, the journey is the goal
gl and hf

I main Thief since Gw2 start in Pvp, and I must say Im dissapointed!
I know the beginnning problem of to much dps after stealth till to much dodge after s/d buffing …. till acrobatic nerving.
I have played all classes in tpvp knowing PROS and CONS.

SO, I expected more of Daredevil, the dodges fix are OK, add leap finisher instead of explosion finisher to bounding dodge.
I dont know what to do with staff, instead played pulmonary IMpact s/p sh thief, but there are to much downsides in gameplay … my nervs are raw …. switched to Revenant and feel like a boss.

so then PLZ FIX INFO on the trait… but i tested it incombat for more then 30 sec and I dont get might as often as i drop below the energy threshold

Nope, its like a reversed ELe with heavy armor and Initiative system compared with cooldowns.

absolutely NOT
As Rev IM MORE THEN GOOD BALANCED, and if you have knowledge about classes and builds you will feel the same. Theres more a l2p issue.
If Anet rly buff Rev more, he became god mode in pvp.

IT CLEAR when I saw the first fight against the ele ….
I join my previews commentor
instead of buttonsmashing, you should l2p
NO APPLAUSE FROM ME

Kaizoku.1298:

Roy your team ruins the revenant while you are on a vacation ! We became no a risk/high reward class you have got to change Unrelenting Assault or Surge of the Mists.
They are both currently way too powerful.
Low CD
High damage
Evade
SotM needs some tweaking, stun breaking from it won’t help a lot of the times since it still knocks you back even after you stun break, dealing MASSIVE damage. I suggest you either lower its’ damage, increase cooldown or make it not evade. May I add it becomes unblockable with devastation traitline making it even more powerful. Just a minor tweaking would be sufficient otherwise there would be too much whining obviously.
As for Unrelenting Assault, it currently has a low CD. However that’s not the real problem, sure it cannot deal much damage in group fights but it wrecks in a 1v1 or 1v2. Decreasing its’ duration would help since your opponent has to waste both dodges (1v1 scenario) to actually evade it.
Also Retribution traitline. That stability on dodge duration is too long.

well but for what are you talking about?! PVP PVE WVWVW
what build your talking about or traits or skills?
Its very confusing what you say, cause youre not go into details…. its the same like I said thief has too much dmg, engi has to much skills or guards have to much healing
I think its a l2p issue, the Revenant is new and no one has specific knowledge of gameplay against or with him in Pvp /Pve.

I trained with golems and uses the Trait Charged mists and watched, using different skills to create pulses to get below 50 and create a circle loop around the energy thresold.
the trait has NO ICD !

THE FACT:
It never gives me the 2 might stack as often as I reached the threshold and drop below … PLZ FIX

well I used Jalis with glint in pvp …. jalis skills are very situational in using
I already told in preview comment Inspiring Reinforcements needs a faster stabi gain, it takes to long to cast a road then standing 1 sec on it to gain stabi …. T_T
Forced Engagement is OK
Hammers is OK , use them often on downed players
the elite is fine , wished a higher range … 900 would be ok

to resume, I had a very good feeling in using skills wisely …. well… I feel OP sometimes ….if you know the builds and gameplays of other classes I can counter them very easily …. I feel more often OP, the only downside is condi

I wish Cleasing Channel would remove 3 condis instead of 1 but im ok atm with Reve because there was no class I couldnt counter ^^

gawd I wish I had that fluid gameplay, but my laptop is to old …..

ALso tested : I love Reaper like Revenant XD

f2 behind f1 ….
break self stun

So lets finally resume:
- plz implent to steal and skill from Revenant, didnt get one …
- make dodges act like dodges, not like skills- that was the reason why getting confusion dmg by using dodges
- dodges need to be fluid with quickness, nomral walk, run
- utilities were fine ^^ and the elite is very nice, the heal is rly good using with adventure runes XD

Staffskills:
-1#: autoattack should be faster, the first 2strikes should feel like hard smashes
- hook strike feels great
-#2: no casttime plz, this should work like burning speed and a greater range, maybe with evade frame
-#3: same here; greater range of backflip, i want to get away with it ….
-4#: is ok, maybe the angle of the cone a bit larger
-5’#: reduce initative to 5 plz like you told in point of interest, increase range to 1200 and add evade frame

that should make staff to feel like a REAL Daredevil who works with evade
PLz buff DD, we also want to play with nice artistic fighters who dont rely on stealth
anyway ty for reading

… so true -.- ….

Well,
I had stealed several times from the NEW CLASS and gained NOTHING, pls fix
I would prefer Drink ^^

I get confusion dmg on dodge … because dodge are skills now ?
same problem had eles with their traits before too.
PLz fix

WEll, I oftenly use my builds with speed (25% speedbuff) and after testing the new dodges with DDspec ….I feel often stuck into position O_o

I have no probs with normal dodges …. you can run with speed and dodge and its FLUID.

All new dodgeanimations have a start animation ….when you run and dodge your character stand still for a moment and THEN hes using dodganimation and after dodging hes standing on position for a moment again ….
I think dodges need a qicker animation… anyone else agree?

I got also the problem that Withdraw and Roll for Initiative are affected in some kind by the traits, too.
I have sometimes wierd animations of thees 2 skills, never had this before

ANET, plz synrcho the dodges with the speedbuffs and quickness, they are untouched by these buffs.

it will be something like ….BUFF ELE , NERV NEKRO ^^

ppl are not dumb, you must ask yourself: what if they dodge or else to avoid your hits?
Well, when i see a Venomshare thief im on full dodge mode as long as hes in his “burst-mode” and then I break him like a KitKat ^^
but maybe its more viable with DD elite spec …?

well, you know stealing from Engineers give us a “cool” > Throw Gunk skill which is mostly useless , I suggest we should get Throw Gear skill
What you think?

Well, I play s/d trickery thief with quickness and fast initiative regain and 3 stunbreaker I have double burst time as all other thiefs. I also play d/d ele and know when my time is coming ^^ and its nice using the ice shard stab twice against them XD

I wil love fighting more when my dodge getting leap finisher and I can play my lovely s/p like at the beginning when evade on thief was untouched., prepeare yourself ele for the new upcoming burstdps. OMG fging STAFFHYPE and finaly using a second weaponset like every other class

in ya face, beeeeeeetsch

yes, because we have NO OTHER PROBLEMS with our class ^^

If the staff skill5# works like Phase Smash from Revenant, can we be sure it works correctly with horizontal differences? I mean a lot of leaps only works horizontal, and have vertikal issues….

nearlight.3064:

Can you necroforum warriors please stop the martyr complex already? So many people here complain about the necro/reaper to be weak as hell but they hardly ever play. I have high MMR and regularly face off against ESL players when I queue, and i do mostly fine against them, so I don’t see why everyone is crying about necro/reaper being underpowered in pvp just because of new toys that every other class is getting, while forgetting that our new toys are just as good, if not better.

also tested reaper and with a bit knowledge of how thiefs dodge working you can outplay thiefs, andnot every thief willtake Escapist’s Absolution or all other condicleans traits just to punish nekros ….
Always remember, they dont have stabi, so hard cc

the greatest weakness is hard CC because thiefs have no stabi!
And if you ever have played thief class and know when you can burst after evade, there no problem of counterplay.
And conditions, not every thief will run condi clear in stealth or condiclear with trickery skills or condiclear with evade….
sometimes ppl think a thief can use all traitlines and traits at same time ….yep

.. .kitten , p/p with the new evades would be rly funny , want the trait back

you rly think pl will use this things and own ppl …. by the way you forgot adventure runes , so it 9 dodges

The main issue with that skill:
It wont give me stability while casting and still standing on the first “bricks”.
I must still wait a second to get the first buff and that is a main issue if you have to react quickly. Hope that can be fixed easily.

knock, knock? who ….. WTF

remember the golden Pvp rule: If you lose to a ranger , you sk.
but if you rly like to play ranger you should also like to play other classes and learn weakness, the results are incredible and end into ranger hate

well it will take some time to master him in pvp

well, since I switched to ranger class with L/G power ranger, I get a very well balanced class with pewpew burst on ranger and also good variety on melee range…
depends on your knowledge of your enemy as well ^^

what need to be “buffed/fixed” is the pet commands and condi remove should be for pet as well, ranger can become very good in tpvp if devs fixed little things
but ppl have overall a l2p issue …. little tipp; switch to melee weapon if your opponent gets melee range ^^

glint is …. not that good…. in pvp … i mean buffs… will not save your live
the elite is cool but thats all …..
will use jalis/shiro or jalis/mallyx

completely agree

Thief getting 3rd weaponswap in addon, so he can finally use a second weaponset besides a main one and shortbow
