I’m a roaming guardian and i’m doing fairly good, my only problem is that I’m facing difficulties staying on target (being close enough to my target for long enough time so that my stupidly long skill chains to do their damage), yea I can port and what not but then what? target still keeps running, you’ll never land that 3 second whirling blade fully. Yea but you have binding blade, yea but with the amount of stun breaks everyone has nowadays by the time they get back to you, they’re already up and running back safely out of range of your highest dps ability.
So yea if somebody engages me head on I’m melting faces, if they run at least a bit… it’s a neverending fight, but hey at least I don’t die.
Let me answer this as a player:
Consider PvP: Being able to zoom out farther than your opponent seems a definite advantage. If a PvP player can see the entire map, he/she certainly knows more, and can react differently, than those playing the game as intended (who cannot view the entire map through normal processes).
The advantage-giving provision of the program is a concern to me, as a player, as it seems clearly prohibited by the policy. " Our general policy is that anything that gives advantage is forbidden; anything that imbalances the game in favor of one player over another is strictly disallowed."

I’m just curious what “usain bolt” means…

google knows it all doesn’kitten
Edit: have no idea what the “kitten” part of “it” was but hey…
Except you couldn’t be more wrong. Invisibility =/= Invulnerability. Not only does getting hit inside of stealth damage the thief, it takes a SIGNIFICANT chunk out of their health. AoE spam will kill any stealth backstab thief.
What AoE spam as a guardian?
You’re joking, right? Staff 1, hammer AA, hammer 2, hammer 5 with AA, GS spin2win, GS pull, GS AA, Shield 4 & 5, and several utilities with AoE damage and burn around your character. AoE simply means things that aren’t single-target and don’t require a target to use. Spam them attacks!
30/30/30/30/30, 4 weapon set, several damage utility Guardians new flavor of the month. If a Thief ever dies to this it would be because he had a stroke.
This! Most of Guardian’s AoE have either weird directional mechanics (Whirl firing in 4 directions instead of a circle around, leaping like a kitten 200 yds away from where the target was before he stealthed, etc) or simply do laughable damage.

Thieves sacrifice reliable condition cleanse, any and all defense, and have the lowest health pool. Literally the only thing squishies is a zerg staff ele. Beating thieves is a L2P issue. Backstab thieves have a very front-loaded attack rotation, and a well-timed dodge can mess up the entire thing and force them to retreat or die.
I’d call spending 90% of the fight in stealth avoiding most if not all damage popping out only when it’s convenient one hell of a defense.
So Thief complaining about Warrior running around?
kitten PLEASE!
At least that Warrior does next to no damage (he sacrifices damage for that mobility), What do you Sacrifice for your mobility dear Thieves?
Thief is by far the most broken class in the game, OP in any type of small scale encounter up to the point where you just feel like deleting your character and rerolling because that’s how ANet intended it.
No other class can 3 shot a 3k+ armor character while maintaining next to godlike survivability due to their ability to avoid taking damage 90% of the time.
So yea Warrior might be annoying running around like a headless chicken while you try to catch him, but at least he can’t do much more than that.
