Guild Wars 2

so good there are different opinions … i think having 1 more skill that gives you 3 seconds of stealth (with all related passive benefits) is not so useless

i have shadow’s embrace and shadow’s rejuvenation so “steal” gives me
1 more way to have stealth
2 condition removed
2 stacks of might
3sec of rejuvenation

so don’t post if you don’t want to share …

hope to find you out there …

ZLE.8293:

Why wasting such precious trait slot for a Hidden Thief?Just do C&D+Steal combo and trait something more useful.

like what?

c&d requires 6 initiative and can miss

i use hidden thief and i find it almost mandatory for a heavy stealth build

they should add an icon or something to let us know if it is in cooldown.
that will be enough.

Charismatic Harm.9683:

[cut]
There are several prices at which we can list an item:

1.) 1c above the vendor value
[cut]

why anyone should do that and lose money because of the fees ?

what really matter is:
1. average (1 week) price of that item
2. how many items are listed at a certain price

if i see something for a week at about 90c and i face this situation:
12 @ 78c
3 @ 80c
65 @ 84c
1250 @ 86c
i’ll put my items at 85c

if i face something like this (for the same average 90c item):
xx @ 1s67c
xx @ 1s68c
xx ….

i know something wrong is going on and i’ll wait to list my items…

the reason is that when you steal you move faster then your bullet (like Remo Williams) so it goes like this:
pistol auto attack —> bullet flies to your enemy —> steal + stealth —> bullet hits your enemy —> stealth drops + revealed debuff

@ quality over quantity: if you are not enjoing the game but you are currently playing it you have bigger problems than the game itself.
btw when you go to cinema you can see a great movie but you can even find a bad one.

stealth is not only an escape mechanism. Your solution < when a thief enters stealth they can’t see anything also > will completely destroy the class.
Stealth will be no more an offensive skill (used to lead powerfull attacks) nor an escape skill (you stealth, go away and pop in front of an enemy zerg). This is stupid.

Stealth is fine as it is and it is what makes this class funny.

i use this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQRAoY6alUmaPHfS6E95Ey2jdqC5JuHOFS1UdFwKA
and p/d thieves are easy kills.
with d/d you have to stealth after they do, or keep you stealth longer enough to backstab them.
with p/p just unload and when they come close to c&d, use blind.

more ppl = more problems
more crashes/disconnections, more “brb”, more time to finish a run …
no tnx.

CreativeAnarchy.6324:

There is also a trait in trickery that if more than 10% of HP is taken in a single strike, feathers are used to blind the opponent and then stealth. Can only happen once per minute.

and Last Refuge (auto stealth at 25% health)

Which needs to be removed.

i disagree, but it is off topic.

it is a fact that the game is dying… like everyone. As soon as you are born you are dying.
What matters is when you will be death, and i think for gw2 this “when” is pretty far from now.

There is a bit of confusion here.
OP asked about Hide in shadow (heal skill) and Shadow Protector (III of shadow arts) and the answer is: yes they stack in duration
@frans: you are talking about Shadow’s Rejuvenation (XI of shadow arts) and it is correct that it doesn’t stack with regeneration. Indeed it doesn’t provide regeneration boon, it simply gives you health as long as you remain in stealth.
If you use hide in shadows and shadow’s rejuvenation you will see 2 different heals every second.

Revan.6259:

Just wondering if the legendary Incinerator still shows the flaming footsteps when you are cloaked. I.E. if I get it for my thief, is it going to completely ruin my stealthyness?

no, when you stealth only you can see your footsteps…

i killed a thief holding it and i didn’t see anything when he was in stealth.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Movement_speed

where ?

frans.8092:

You get +50% relative to combat speed, when you are in combat, which I expect you’d all be given the situation you want it to work in. You also have a 25% sig so you should be able to reach +75%, relative to combat speed.

Off course, out of combat movement speed is capped at normal + 33% (which is 2x combat)

speed increaser don’t stack, so no +75% speed.

“Off course” what ? where is it written that there is a cap ?

i’m fine with it.
it could also be changed in a nerfed Defy Pain (maybe 2 sec instead of 5)

there is nothing about a movement speed cap. also there is a rune that gives +7%speed under the effect of swiftness and it will be useless with a movement speed cap.

Elementalist is a OP class, and this is just another example of that.

Summer.9072:

which one of these 2 can do high dmg?

warriors.

They said ascended will be acquired even in other ways.
However i have to say that i did 3 lvl 1 fractals + 3 lvl 2 fractals ( for a total of 6 complete runs) and i have an ascended back.
I was lucky to get a vial of ascended mist essence? Maybe, i don’t know the drop rate.
I had to use it and 50 golds for the berserker quiver.

ShinjoNaomi.1896:

No… have to agree with Mumu on this.
I constantly hear complaints about how things in MMOs need a team of people to overcome. That’s what that second ‘M’ is there for.
/MULTIPLAYER/.
WvW exemplifies that second ‘M’ when it comes to teamwork, whether its a 5 man raid team, or a 25+ man zerg.
If all you want is 1 vs 1 ‘Street Fighter’ then go play that game or head over to sPvP

I don’t want a 1vs1 “Street Fighter”.
Multyplayer does not mean everyone has to stay together as a flock. A good commander should be able to coordinate teams to cap or at least attack every objective at the same time. That will require strategy and coordination.
Having 50 ppl following a blu symbol on a map just requires 50 ppl.
That’s a mindless zerg.

Dee Jay.2460:

1. Initiative
1 point every 1.0 second when above 7 Initiative

Dee Jay.2460:

However unlike other Stealth abilities this Stealth would consume Initiative at a rate of 1 per second.
This puts a cap on how much a Thief can stealth

No, it doesn’t.

is it really needed ?
two days ago the temple has been opened by a bunch of player (15 i think) with no organization…
i was there with 3 friends and found someone else.
(on gandara)

Mumu.6203:

MMORPG : Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games

Go play Street Fighter if you want 1vs1

Good zerg requires a hell of a coordination it’s not just about following the blue triangle.

this is one of the dumbest things i’ve ever read.
The only reason why someone likes to go in a zerg is that he has no skill and has to rely on numbers to win.
Zerging is not funny at all and require no strategy nor skill; it is just “cast the spell before the target dies so maybe i can get something”
How can you tell if you are a good player when you just kill ppl in 50 vs 5 ?
Go buy some skill and then split up!

bonus for capping points at the same time.
bonus to small groups (5 – 10 players)
scaling guards – life pool and dps of a guard goes up with the number of players attacking it.

Sirgleno.2679:

So, I am happy to report that in addition to the 100g I made two days ago, I piled on another 190g yesterday – bringing me up to 510g. I absolutely realize that there are hordes of players who have well more gold than this, so please don’t mistake this for chest-beating, I honestly only do this to let people know the magnitude of opportunities that are out there to be found.

Also, I would like to thank the several people, who have written to me in game, for their interest and well wishes. However, even if I was willing to give away my secrets, I don’t believe that anything I could share now would serve any purpose other than to encourage players to jump into a declining opportunity. This ship is sailing on this one, but there will undoubtedly be more short term niche markets in the future, where maybe it will be YOU who makes hundreds of gold.

Play well, and happy prospecting!

Sirgleno

this is really a mean post.
you should share your “secret” or shut up.
everyone know that there are possibilities, what we have to know is which ones.

bought 10k at 3c sold them at 6c just before they went down to 5.

less ppl running cof leff molten cores available.

Daendur.2357:

1g lodestones = i can buy 1 everyday
2g lodestones = i can buy 1 every 2 days

= i need more time to get what i want
= yeeeee a lot of endgame !1!!1!!!1!

Welfare epics and pandas thataway ->>>

i know … but it looks like that’s the way we are taking, sadly.

maybe a very rich player wrote 1 more number in the quantity to buy by mistake (i need 20 and wrote 209).

1g lodestones = i can buy 1 everyday
2g lodestones = i can buy 1 every 2 days

= i need more time to get what i want
= yeeeee a lot of endgame !1!!1!!!1!

When you are approaching something new, a new phone, a new washing machine, a new in game feature, you should always look for a guide, otherwise you can broke your new toy.

if it was not a bug they wouldn’t have disabled it. don’t you think ?
and bug exploiters are bannable.
You could have written: “each time someone exploit a bug everyone will call him an exploiter”

gonna check.
btw best medium armor ever.

NightyNight.1823:

To try and balance a build thats already bad its insane.
What is the build realy good for exept PvM and killing idiots only in WvW?
Be honest whit yourself and answer to my question.

what build are you talking about?

Unspecified.9142:

Say you have 250 of an item and there is a buy order at 65c for 50 of them.
- You click “Sell Maximum” and then Sell.
- 50 will be instantly sold for 65c to the person/people who placed the buy order.
- The remaining 200 will be auto-posted at 65c as a sell order.

ah, ok … so it may have been an error.

the problem is that i was the highest buyer and someone else the lowest seller at +1c … so i istantly bought all his items and flipped them.
but i’m not good at tp so maybe i’m missing something.

yes, change the recipe to take 3 jewels and ban exploiters would solve the problem.

this in not an answer.

Hi,
i was wondering why someone put items at +1c than highest buyer price?
i’m not talking about 3 – 4 c items but more expensive ones.
highest buyer 64c
lowest seller 65c (few items)
next seller 97c

can you please explain me what that person was trying to do ?

balance is about being strong in some areas and weak in others … if you want everyone be the same go play pacman online.
3 viable builds is much more than other mmos usually give and here, there are more than 2-3 viable builds. it depends on what you want do to.
if someone can easily kill thieves and someone else can’t, it’s not a problem of class balance but just a l2p issue.

Stop to think about ways to balance thieves. Thieves are balanced.
We need bug fixing and maybe some minor changes … not stupid things like cooldowns or initiative cost increases.

you have to also consider the highest buyer price … if i see no one offering more than 6 golds i can consider that no one will buy it for 10g but maybe some one will do for 8

Gamblit.5041:

Trait: Hidden Killer

Description: 100% Critical hit chance while in stealth.

Bug: Only works with 3 second stealth. Staying in stealth longer will not activate Hidden Killer trait.

Video proof: in the begining of this video i stay around 4 seconds in stealth and when activating backstab – it doesn’t crit. Then i stay less then 3 seconds in stealth, and backstab crits. In the last segment i use Shadow refuge to stay for 10 seconds in stealth and again backstab doesn’t crit.

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGYJ_ZCQwD8

Hi, the trait is not bugged. It works as intended.
The problem is that you are starting your backstab while in stealth but you land it while out of stealth.
If you pay attention your stealth buff wears off before you hit the boar
This is due to the 1/4 sec cast time of bs.
You get the revealed debuff because it triggers when bs start. That is a bug correction done some patch ago for preventing that, using an appropriate timing a thief could be able to land a backstab and immediately restealth.
I think they should also modify the 100%crit to trigger when the skill starts and not when it ends.

It has been discussed on the thief board.
With this patch Fleet Shadow should increase speed while stealthed from +33% to +50%,
but, being stealthed and using that trait makes the thief move at the same speed of someone else with swiftness., but in combat it seems to be faster; so someone wrote about a cap at 133% of normal ot of combat speed.
I was wondering if anyone tested the Superior rune of speed and, if it works as expected. In that case the “new” trait is just broken.
Also an official answer will be very appreciated.

I’m sorry for you guys, but the thread is not related to any specific profession, just to movement speed cap that can affect everyone, since everyone can have swiftness + superior rune of speed

i didn’t do it . Can you tell me what the reward is ?
tnx
