sorry knee jerk reaction with this.
100blades does root you and some bosses you can’t really melee without splattering your guts against the wall.
Excidium
I suppose the HUGE Dps is balanced when you take in to consideration what you’ve mentioned.
Warlord
I’ll have to revisit axe’s dps on this to see if its comparable.
For PvE:
Why would I want to play any other class, when:
1. 100blades does 10k-23k every 6 seconds.
2. Has a higher hitpoint pool compared to guardian
3. 100blades hits 10k-23k every 6 seconds. A one button push
this is with rare berserker armor slotted with valk gems, and green berserker trinkets. and an exotic greatsword. I don’t even come close to max dps gear too which will prolly push my damage to 15k-30k
I have 4 other 80s (Guardian, Elementalist, Thief, Mesmer) who are similarly geared in berserker and dps tested.
The only one that comes close is Elementalists #2 attack on staff with carrior gear, Veggie pizza for extended duration of bleeds. and thats what…20 seconds for it to tick out and takes 8 seconds to land?
Warrior is way too overpowered.
If I am wrong and other classes can compare easily, prove me otherwise please.

few things to remember.
Pistol/Dagger thieves
1. After three (unquickened) shots they can move in for a stealth stab, so when they roll into you for a Cloak and Dagger stab roll out, that will waste 6 initiative if you manage to dodge and they will be open for a SPIKE DAMAGE attack.
if they can’t time their Cloak and Dagger hits right they’re in a very bad position.
2. Things that Block/Evade/Blind before they cloak and dagger will destroy their chain and give you a few seconds open gap to dump a burst.
3. Cripple/chill/immob will greatly reduce the chance of them landing Cloak and Dagger as long as you keep moving.
hope this helps.
Discussion from the Team chat in SBI, BGBL.
someone – "do we go for BG garrison or for the JQ zerg at Victors ?
Commander – “hmm..Badges or points”
Commander – “lets do badges – fighting JQ is more fun, and we have enough points.”Definitely 2vs1.
haha yea, slapping the 4+ turtle portal bombs were worth tons of badges for SBI, woot :P
The fighting feels more balanced and isn’t completely one sided anymore and tactics can play a more critical role with zergs clashing.
I hope orbs come back but with a different function for sure.
I am absolutely having more fun without the orbs buffs.
my 2 cents.
From a mesmer’s point of view there is a…
~~~SIMPLE SOULTION TO COUNTER STEALTHING THIEVES.~~~
all of the thief videos cut out the mesmer spam counters which i find clever lol.
1. have EVERYONE STACK
2. Spam Illusionary Berserker (Greatsword #4 skill)
Usually rotating the camera till a berserker pops and peve my camera to where the phantasms run to.
3. get three illusions up, pop the thief with the daze skill, F3?
4. MOA
5. Laugh.
I’ve killed so many Blackgate thieves this way, they are quite talented at keeping stealth and holding the spot.
It takes one idiot to float around to ruin the counter strategy.
hope this helps some of u.
ps. you can kill the thief in less than 1 minute of followed correctly, stacking the people is the hardest part

Even after all the orb bugging to favor a certain side and the turtle folly I am amazed that we’ve been able to close the gap between first place to make it a close match.
I’m glad to call SBI home!
I love our Hardcore WvW guilds and that we don’t have the bandwagon herpes…this time hahaha
I would like to give this guild a try, I currently reside on stormbluff but wouldn’t mind changing servers if things kick off.
A little about me, I have a capped elementalist, Hardcore pvp/pve player but laid back. I play to win but if its a wipe I laugh, look at what went wrong and keep trying till its done. I also come with a friend that shares the same views as me if its a good fit :P
