You are forced to play nothing but bursty bullcrap in tournament or some ranged BS that shares poisons.
It figures though every MMO always kittens the assassin class because people are to stupid to understand how they work.
Heartseeker build is a completel joke and lacks any skill and who the hell wants to play that? Yes spam one button, this is GW2 not WoW. I want to be able to actually play the game. Condition damage build are great but you are killed long before the bleeds do anything to your target, not to mention almost every class seems to be able to clear them without thinking.
The build I currently have gives me 23k HP, 1.5k armor, 2.3k attack(1.1k weapon damage), a ton of dodge and stealth, and over all great mobility and consent damage. Yet a 13k HP thief can come in and still kill me in 2 seconds. REALLY?! Not to mention a Warrior with 24k HP can kill me even faster.
Every other class has great survivablity, and skills that complement each other the thief really doesn’t. I feel that they tried to give this class way to much and not enough reasons to use them.
If i wanted to play a ranger I would, why do i have shortbow? Why is P/P completely useless and really is used for unload and thats it? Why does heartseeker miss 90% of the time? Why does LDB and HS root you in the ground? Why does half throwing skills never work and say obstructed when clearly they are in LOS?
All this stuff has really made me hate the class and the game and I want to like but why play a class when you can play other classes that do everything the thief can do but better and even do more damage and survive longer?
I do not want to play different class but the thief is not what it should be. That is all I have to say.
