Guild Wars 2

When 9/10 of the community cry about thief it is because they all suck, not because thief is overpowered. Thief being over powered couldn’t possibly be the problem at all. No sir.

Normal thief gameplay is justifiably godmode unfortunetly. They will be nerfed because of how OP they are. Hell, even begginer thieves can be devestating

Oh no! Thieves have to actually pay attention to the screen a little bit now!

@sir vincent

If you want to be able to backstab while out of stealth then warriors should be able to move while using num2 gs and engineers should be able to throw 20 nades at once instead of 3 and guardians set everything in 5000 on fire automatically for 2k ticks
Necro should have give all conditions to every enemy within 4000. Do you see where i am going?

Theif doesn’t need anything but a tone down in damage and increase the debuff so you can’t go back into stealth.

Increase Debuff to 10 seconds.

My Hammer Sword/Warhorn tPvP build for reference.

This build you put u kitten omething similar to what I had come up with since i started this thread, small differences and I am liking the +30% crit damage already. I’m gonna change a few things around but will take your build into high consideration

Bad Link. Also I am looking to become a little more of a roamer which is why I run with a warhorn for the swiftness.

Currently I am in the process of fooling around with Hammers, axe and warhorn, and Longbow (for siege defense and offence). I used to be a GS warrior with axe/shield.

The build I am currently trying to develop would be a WvW build. Now tell me if I am completely wrong but It seems that hammers get little to no love in our trait lines. We have merciless hammer which is in the strangest place on the skill tree. Any-how. I usually run Armor of the Knight Stacking; Power, Precision, and vitality.

Stats before traits and buffs

Power 1640
Precision 1550
Vitality 1200
Toughness 1283
Critical Damage 24%
Critical Chance 34%

I want to have some sustainable damage, not necessarily bursting people down, while still having the ability to hold my own. I am a seasoned WvWvW player, but if I encounter a thief I can’t even get close to holding my own. My best option is to turn the warhorn on and bail. Maybe it is just thieves as a whole but I have no problem with them on a Guardian.

Prior to this I was investing a lot of points into the Strength and Precision with a little bit of tactics and discipline something like

20-25-0-10-15

My average hits with a hammer were around 1.2k-3.5k (depending on which weapon slot skills were used) 800 being the lowest I’ve seen and 4k being around the highest

My utilities usually consist of

Healing surge
Endure pain
Shake it off (played with several other condition removing skills, none worked really well)
and bulls charge for that extra little take down
Signet of rage (because lets face it, it is our best elite but is laughable compared to a lot of other elites In my personal opinion)

I capitalized on leg specialist trait and found it to be near essential. If anyone could recommend some adjustments such as

Trait adjustment
Runes (currently switching between 3 sets, soldiers, divinty, emerald orb)
Sigil adjustment (nullification on hammer)
food recommendations

A lot of what I am being told is to give up on warrior and play my Guardian or Ele however Warrior is my main and I refuse to give up on my favorite class since day 1 of this games beta.

Cinnamon. eggs, Piles of putrid essence, Powerful venom sacks

Can’t wait. All I am going to Say.
