I think you’re not getting the point of the thread. It’s not about nerfing, as you can see in number 3, there’s a suggestion that balances the first two. About those auto-attacks, surely they can tone down a bit to ensure balanced gameplay on both sides. Also this is not a QQ thread, it’s simply because thieves are really broken. As I already told in the OP, these changes would balance the profession to match the others.
Out of topic but I don’t think rangers should have stealth from longbow. It’s the feature of a thief! Thieves or any other profession don’t have pets either! Please make sense next time anet. (minions and wutever, not classified as pets because cooldown and actually useful attacks and AI.)
One word: Dragon PiƱatas.
…could only be used with Initiative.
Have you ever thought why Thieves are so broken? Spam Stealth skill and then run away after Initiative is dry? How about no.
In order to fix what is terribly broken, here’s a few steps into the Light:
1) Remove Initiative from normal skills and make skills work like in other professions.
2) Remove Stealth from all skills and make it Initiative-only boon.
3) Add ability to attack while in Stealth.
X) Stealth will go off when your Initiative “charges” are off, like a counter, ya’know?
So all in all, there’s your solution. Ciao.
Ps. I wonder how Ranger Pets would do if there were Thief Pets as well.

Bumpies. And random stuff to make message body length over 15 characters.
Hai, I’m looking for a small (max 50) happy guild that does mostly pve/dungeons whenever people feel like without silly two weeks pre-scheduling. Occasional WVW wont hurt though. Also I’m kinda experienced with the game with several 80 chars and 4k+ achievements, currently going for shiny fractal back piece (almost there). Usually I’m playing on evenings and weekends and no I wont be playing over nights because sleep is more important than anything :D.
So looking for something like this:
- Small guild (able to know each other than just looking at quiet guild full of strangers)
- PVE (world bosses, mapping, leveling up etc.)
- Dungeons + Fractals (Don’t mind teaching new people if necessary as long as they listen :D)
- EU server (Server change is possible if the guild really is that good for me)
- Possibly a mature happy “casual” guild
- Speaks English
Post here, PM or mail, thankies.
Not really a helpful post but I’ve been experiencing this too… Everything else works except my abilities and any interacting with anything. Doing story now and the npc doesn’t even follow me or abilities work while this “problem” occurs.
