Guild Wars 2

dont go pistolpistol at any costs, becuse vital shot and body shot.

Dont build it, show anet that it needs changes cuz it suck horrible.

Pavel, the reason is that warriors can kill groups of mobs faster.

Please anet please!

The most “thievly” looking dagger, IMHO, is the whisper’s secret dagger. It even folds when you put it away, so it would be easier for a thief to hide it..

http://dulfy.net/2013/03/11/gw2-dagger-gallery/#55

There are a several daggers that IMHO are perfect for thieves with dark motiff around them, but that said, I do agree (as I’ll always do) with wanting more designs..

You know that dagger looks like its a pirate treasure which as been in the sea since 1000 Before exodus (ugly xD)

They got enough weapons, compared to us thieves, which has least amount of versitality, engineer got kits eles got attunements, if they give thief offhand sword that would be more important than a kitten battleaxe

Must have 15 letters to save the topic

Are you warrior mesmer or guard?

by the way wish you are alting a thief, im maining a thief so stop being ignorant

Ok then simple question to show us all how smart you are.
You have 2286 power, 1924 precision, 91% crit damage, youre using Hidden killer, your target has 2750 armor . Which food offers the highest DPS increase, Truffle Steak, Omnomberry Ghost or Curry Butternut Squash Soup for just Backstab, and which offers the highest DPS increase for the standard thief rotation (BS > autoattack chain > CnD)? Also, be sure to show your work.

Big Tower.5423:

Hahahaha, belive me im an experinced thief, (i play thief for 6-12 hours a day)

And my Dad worked at General Motors for 45 years always working more than 40 hours a week, that doesnt mean he knows the exact way a car works from top to bottom.

Big Tower.5423:

or lets say risen running around in orr, if you take 1 on 1 thief will allways win

This is incorrect as eviscerate can 1 shot those mobs, and has a half second cast time. You’re telling me a thief can kill those mobs in under half a second?

1. 90 % critical damage is way to low, to do max damage you need 110 %
2. Foodbuff is allways spicy butternaut squash soup
3. superior sharpening stone.
4. best damage rotation is cloak and dagger + backstab + autochain + repeat

However warrior kill groups faster, but we can atleast compete a bit with sword mainhand but not really compareable, warrior beats us there. but when mashing at a boss thief will do more, especially if they got a guardian that tanks it in the front and provide you might, as thief got to sacrifice a lot for these might stacks, if he can change these might skills to somthing else he would get better damage if someone else provided him might.

And btw 30 k killshot isnt possibole anymore it got nerfed hard

Of course it isnt that large diffrence but thief is a very very little matchhead before them, however anet shuld buff our substained damage even a bit, since we are the rogue arcehtype, the warrior archetype shuldnt have almost as high sdps as a rogue archetype.

I said this dozens of times, we dont to the highest crits but we do it more often means we pass them in dps

Well, go shortbow + sword/dagger for groups and swap the sword with another dagger for boss fights, go somthing like 30 into critical strikes and 30 into acro or shadowarts.

Go s/d instead you are better off with that, you keep the autoattack the teleport, and you get a nicher dual skill

or lets say risen running around in orr, if you take 1 on 1 thief will allways win, as the first hits of hb is very low, but we also deal highest single target damage however when there is 10 mobs standing in melee range, no chance thief can match that, xD

Alex you are right, but when mashing on a boss the thief will do better damage as it is single target.

by the way wish you are alting a thief, im maining a thief so stop being ignorant

Hahahaha, belive me im an experinced thief, (i play thief for 6-12 hours a day) since november (used same amount of time on learning the game from the outside reading and reading since release to i got the game, and yeah this is the vidio of thief old burst with mug no longer possibole, but i couldnt care less about that, i mean the backstabs, instead of using it in a burst, use it together with cloak and autoattack, and you shuld to more dps than warriors if built right.

Mate, drop the tought of dual pistols its super cool but its competly a waste, its one of the worst set we have only s/p is weaker, (body shot + vital shot = USELESS) Unload has high iniative cost, means you cant use it for eternity either, however headshot and black powder is nice, but then you can just go dagger mainhand and go mutch better.

There is some nasty shortswords, in the game already, cant look them up right now i got banned xD

Btw, mauge to add into the blind immunity, we got shortbows for that, clusterbomb is kinda nice in dungeons, and weakness combo (poison field + full clusterbomb = AoE weakness)

Especially the mobile builds, i feel very bad for them xD Well, s/p is kinda bad in my opion, remember it got 3 target limit and autoattacks deals actually higher damage and this is also actually a AoE too, in dungeons, sword/dagger vs large groups and you want to melee, while shortbow if u range them, against bosses got d/d and shortbow.

Listen, 10 k each 3 second + autoattacks + cloak and daggers passes hundred blades in single target damage. however we got no chance to compete with them in clering groups, and mauge they do huger crits than us yes, however we do more often high damage.

i couldt care less about our mug burst, remember he had to pull of his own might, if he had a might guard with him, he could focus less on the mights to put off even greater dps.

I, refer to 12 k crit at risen, without utlities 8-10 k pr backsab quite often, still wins over warrior in a dps race. risen got fairly high tougness, not as karka but still, that would make them beat warrior in dps however.

Could be me, ive fought a 1 vs 5 yesterday with somthing random i mixed tougether at 1 minute, only used a shortbow teleporting and picking you out with evade spam, i was from far shiverpeaks, if the thief where from there it was me just playing fun mode instead of me in hc mode xD

This is not mine at all however all credit to the owner (if you dont like me sharing just leave a comment and il remove at once)

Share it with your friends, leave your toughts!

However, thief is only strongest in 2 roles however, SDPS and moblity.

The winner is………

open it up buddy...

The thief

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuUBmPLR0HQ

However, warrior got the most damaging skill in the game, we can do way higher dps over time, as we can backstab more often than hundred blades, means thief got higher dps of course this guy used utlities, but even without these he would still do tons of damage, with cloak + backstab rotaton. and do more NB Single target damage than the warrior, no class will ever beat warrior in clearing groups unfortuanatly. but i hope this stops the quell between which has highest dps. .

Dont go dual pistols, its the currently second worst weaponset after S/P, really dont go pistol offhand without dagger mainhand.

I do mostly hide in the shadows, and these heaven things, give it to guards but kitten this is nothing for thieves…

Yeah, i want my thief to be like a forgotten founder/preceptor of OoW

There is but, They are like anti the theme of thieves, thieves are hell/shadow/dark themed. while zenith are competly opposite, heaven/light/Crystals….

What about some dark metal weapons, with shadow auras at the weapon, and shadow animations and trails, and then it could have some red touches as well, like red rubies in the weapon and such.

Maces are lighter than swords, small hammers too…

1. Other thieves becuse they are the biggest threat.
2. Shortbow/longbow rangers, becuse they are free kills
3. Mesmers very dangerous and often glass cannon
4. Necros, uber big threat they are counter to thieves.
5 Warriors, idk they are kinda neutral.
6. Eles, weaker bunkers than engineer and guards.
7. engineers Weaker bunker than guardian.
8. guardians superior bunkerness in the game can take lot of time to take down.

Well, not all thieves got to be elemtalist in muscle size like, anywhy if a thief trains at strength he would become stronger, simply. Never seen dual wielding thieves?
Thief are the rogue archetype right? in many games the strong ones can dual wield swords, but dual swords is around the limit for a thief. Btw shiro was an assasin (spiriutal ancestor of thief) he did actually dual wield swords…

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

I was standing on a pedestal at the fountain in Lion’s Arch. All of a sudden tons of players started appearing, all transformed as dredge with tonics. And they all started gathering around me. As I started walking around town, the entire mob followed like a bunch of zombies. One of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen.

Lol, thats hillarious. Funniest thing i’ve heard, they had to be trolling ya xDDDDDD

Gz, however zhaitan is a big jerk, he died to 5 players sitting on a cannon spamming 222222 for 10 minutes…. xD however gz!

Nice idea mate!

Great suggestion, personally in my opinion the best player house feature i ever have seen!
If arenanet do not implent this i will start a mass protest against anet, when they add play housing without it… Super good idea, with your suggestion and anets skills this would go perfectly!))

Go far shiverpeaks.

Well we have least amount of weapons in the game, and dont say ele they got attunments….

Dual swords is a win-win becuse it add more build diverisity? happy?

Dear colin and arenanet, Please add offhand sword for this, its a Win-Win
As you’ve seen there is tons of QQers about thieves, and offhand sword would mean less of them however at the thief side we get more than 1 stealthless viable build. And dont say that oh thief is too weak to have offhand swords. cuz thats not an factor at all.
and that bigger sword offhand issue, well many ppl are lefthanded i see no problem the characthers can be that. i would even pay very mutch $$$$$ and £££££££ for it ftw xdDD

Well, just a quick note, we got a HUUUGE adavantage over others in pve in come circumstances, as we can stealth past mobs in up to 12 seconds, and just ignore them competly, shadowrrefuuge for skillpoitns and chain cloak and dagger if you jsut want to get past mobs. that is uber good, you can also stealth your party for 12 secs with shadowrefuuge which got its uses.
