WvW counts as PvE. Any change you make to them for WvW directly affects their performance in PvE, and they’re already the worst in PvE.
The recent confusion and retaliation nerfs showed that WvW can be changed without affecting PvE.
CC seems to stop most thieves. They usually have the same two utilities: shadow refuge and signet of shadows. That means they only have one stun breaker if they’re even using one and their only access to stability is dagger storm.
Stealth isn’t the problem, the targeting system needs refinement. For some reason “target nearest enemy” ignores the thief backstabbing you and goes after the random moa ten feet away.
