Guild Wars 2

Stupid people who does not main thief think; thief elite spec is the solution of its brokenness without fixing its own core Mechanic given how they gave other class a skill which totally Shutdown the Core. people need to stop datamining and should start play the game with their multiple alts.
Staff? really people? Pathetic.

As I stated, if you have these they come from your traits and utilities, not the D/D set. I listed what the other sets bring that D/D doesn’t.

I don’t think you’re Entitled enough to say such thing, stating all your previous post Sword/dagger Thief.

….as former D/D thief that switched sets due to the set’s inadequacies…. am I just not allowed to point out facts? What would entitlement have to do with anything I’ve said? I literally listed the mechanics available to S/D and D/P to which D/D does not have comparable access.

I don’t think D/d works the same as the other weapon set including S/p and P/d (did i play all the Thief weapon set in this game has to offer,wrong?), i am sure you’ll going to agree with that Sword/dagger Thief.

With all this Culling fixes in the past, all i want is be able to chain Stealth again using my offhand Dagger of course i cannot contest point while in stealth. they can give all the Stealth attack an internal cooldown if they wanted while maintaining Pressure in Teamfights.
Oh well, who am i, game must be balance around those people who don’t play the game and lets not forget the balance around 1v1. geez.

Clips would definitely be good. I watched Magic Toker the other day trying D/D and he got absolutely wrecked. He was playing pretty much every other thief spec and doing well.

Someone else posted the issues with D/D. The other main issue is that it is a partial weapon set. By that I mean it is mostly gear for power, but then has a condi #3 skill. It’s just not good compared to other specs. Even if you can make it work, it is you overcoming the spec, not the spec helping you.

If they having problem with Deathblossom and his capabilities of stacking Bleeding specially in Teamfights(spoon feed!), Not Entitled and need more Effort so lets resort to Playerskill issue.

How do we know this is not the Ranger? The official post did not say it was thief.

Ranger will most likely show a pet in the concept art too.

Their pet is in the picture, it is some sort of Shadow beast the ranger has. I outlined it for you.

Wow, shadow beast confirm. 100gold this one is a Druid, any takers?

So any one already noticed this Bug? i keep getting a 4sec debuff when doing Backstab,Tactical Strike,Sneak Attack and Surprised Shot any one else having problem on this Bug?

Maugetarr.6823:

D/D is just not that great right now. This is coming from someone who was enjoying D/D in ranked before the last patch and is currently playing S/D in ranked.

If i may, did you just switch recently?

It lacks the mobility and condi clears that it needs to survive, thus it has a lower skill cap. .

Oh my, i stand corrected \o/
it seems, i did played the wrong game.

As i stated earlier, if any of you thieves lurking while reading this, and if you played Thief D/d and has some raw clips about its current viability in Structuredpvp please step up, so that this false accusation must come to an end. (don’t get me wrong) i would love to learn from them and keep improving.

b) They run D/D – its worthless spec in this kind of meta

I disagree, D/D Thief has a lot of Traits and Utilities to choose for so that he can blend perfectly in conquest.

Trust me -

Nope,because of what you said about D/D being a worthless in Conquest.

No GOOD thief runs D/D in PvP.

You’re wrong, i see them more often than not lately (good sign btw) and if all things failed i am your living proof. and who said you need to be on top to become viable?
Did i oversleep to much that i don’t get all this kind of jokes from this period of time? it seems i played the wrong game.

Show me the stream of a really good thief who runs D/D. I personally have no seen it either on stream or in any match that I’ve played.

Sadly, i don’t have the capabilities to stream with cos of my crappy internet speed and some boundaries. although i am willing to take the risk and cross it, if your in NA you can look me up in Anet official hotjoin room001, i can game a match or two with you (against or team-up) and show you the beauty of the design on equal footing.

Although i knew a lot of forum lurkers that has some D/d clips or something, it would be much appreciated if one of them step in and show its viability.

awesome! finally.. now if this is an evade type spec, maybe we can hear less qq about stealth?

Ever since Mesmers got genuine perma-stealth, I think the complainers have just about given up. :-)

Too late, i already started laying Traps about fixing Bug and become perma stealth again rofl.

How about, Recon?

Yay~

I dislike quizbee, Clicking quizbee to be precise. waste of clicking lifespan.

tl;dr WITNESS ME

What? meh.. wer’re Doomed.

Does any of you noticed this Bug? i keep getting this special debuff when i did my Stealth burst fighting against golems and npc’s. its getting annoying and perhaps this is the reason why Thief is useless in every Teamfights?.

Any news when will they going to fix Revealed? i mean why am i keep getting this absurd Special debuff when i do my burst? this Bug has been forgotten and need of fixing.

Theifs should not be able to use stealth while in combat

I do not know if this one is intended or a Bug. who knows.

Maybe it falls under the category of ‘Bug that’s been on for years’,
so it then becomes an intended feature.
Pretty common in MMOs.

A fix on a broken Stealth mechanism of the past, mayhaps.
Pretty common to see against mainstream MMOs.

Yeah, we need some CDI or something like that because you know Leagues. i bet, my Mice has more Clicking lifespan than everyone else.

Blame the four individual on your Team side. or brag about how pathetic and stupid they are doing such. i mean really? giving your opponent an easy 5points?. or Step up your game so that everyone is happy.

Proving your prowess against a in-Fighter called D/D elementalist on 1v1 scenario is a no go. As a thief I don’t have a problem against burning condition stack (including teamfights) as long as my opponent is a human.
I do not know who the hell thief you guys are talking about and what his thief spec is, but if you got bursted and get more than 10stack of burning in a matter of second (including signet of fire) then I am afraid to say that, you are facing a non-human elementalist or who knows maybe he has more buttons to press than us.

A human is perfectly capable of hitting buttons AS FAST as the game allows….. and the bots I’ve fought in this game have been god awful.

I admit, I am a frustrated Elementalist in the past(dont get me wrong, ilove how they design it including mechanic and playstyle of all weapon sets). I know eac of their skill including cooldown and traitline up until now, I know their weakness and where they stand strong even their casting capabilities including seconds and milliseconds oh even their projectile travel time to arrive in a distance on a target at said radius and position. You can call me Neo, The One in short I see everything that non ordinary human can see.

Maybe they just press more buttons than I or am I getting old that my reflexes is getting odd. Fine I already lost this conversation, I give up. See you in HoT and see for yourself how those bots improve.

No, this game doesn’t need that. all we need is people like YOU who constantly keep brainwashing people in forum with one of your 50accounts. how about go get your main account when HoT release and start pvp-ing with me. more teams more esport.

Ideas.

I already gave it, you only need to read good sir. And I dont think Anet is foolishly enough to make this game a f2p cos they already know the consequences.
Oh and comparing this game against MoBa’s and other clicking stuff? Really? And Heartstone? Really? Please ignore my jokes.

Oh and one more thing, rumors says Killshot warrior is viable against burning specs. Maybe its time to learn some different weapon spec for more esport. What do you guys think?

Cleanse harder bois. The time has come to make Ranger viable.

Didn’t had a chance to watch the live stream cos of my crappy internet connection,is there any chance they going to upload a VoD of the finals,where i can watch this marvelous thief rotation you guys talking about? Maybe on youtube.
TBH i am currently having difficulties rotating and +1 fights post patch. Just wanted to seek some knowledge.

Oh and gz NA representative.

Watch Toker then compare it to Sindrener. It’s like the PERFECT comparison between how to play Thief and how not to.

Its too early for me to judge the differences, still haven’t watch the whole tournament. specially both teams on equal ground.
Although youtube uploads could make my life easier and much appreciated

TCG and ORNG are very fortunate because their rivalry constantly puts them at the top of their game.

Abjured lacks that. They have no peers in NA

OE i summon you!

It is not good until you play and make it Viable for yourself, same as other weapon sets.

Look how pathetic you guys are. Trying to destroy a none broken wepon set plus a GrandMaster trait instead fixing those broken ones.

If i am going to play Mesmer, ima go stealth and shatter. not gonna play Illusionary summon 2years back when, stand still and let the A.i do the job and self proclaimed i am skilled, not gonna happened not a chance. stop complaining and let Mesmer wear his shoes.

Dont Stop: After successfully evading an attack, gain Protection, Resistance, and Stability for 3s. 2s ICD.

No, Dont Stop is working as intended leave the way it is. and perhaps you guys still didnt notice there is a upcoming Specialization called The Reaper. i refuse to sink my D/D build when the said specialization comes and i am against all this changes on Acrobatics. thanks.

Confirm, Third Hokage.

Not gonna happen, they are no foolish to destroy their own greatest masterpiece called Thief(fine) including Engineer and Mesmer.

Them cowards, anet do something.

I don’t know about you guys but I am currently enjoying and having fun being a Combat Medic in spvp; though I get kills sometimes also decap, Thief life is quite difficult nowadays and if you stay more than 7sec in a node you’re dead.

This one need a thumbs up.

Why only those select few can master a class? though the more the merrier, i dont mind being copied. why cant someone who bought this game today and play spvp without a doubt they will going to fail and became skilled because of how user friendly eac class is. didnt the initial plan is to aim the bigger picture? sometimes the intellectual capability of humanity keeps failing me.

Can we have them both? more Elite Specialization more eSport.

though all i want is this.

Well, their passive and active defense didn’t work so does its own core defensive mechanic called Clones. why not give them stealth. =P

sephiroth.4217:

I think the real issue is the mobility, everytime you’re about to beat an ele, they will disengage heal and engage again, STEALTHLESS thief tactics ftw

D/d such a wonderful design, being a in-Fighter pretty legit in teamfight.
though i’m a bit disappointed when someone like OP is asking for nerf. remember it is by design for this upcoming Specialization patch. wonder how many specialization they can give on a single Class. i’m intrigue, we’re going eSport.

Yea, sometimes Sigil of Intelligence keep dragging me down. oh wait i need more precision.

My declaration will remain the same. Go play hotjoin if you want a deeper understanding on Structuredpvp.

So is hotjoin, you get 10 achievement points daily, titles means nothing if you only buy them way up and does not know much about Structured Player vs Player. heck even your own class and counters.
