Guild Wars 2

Vulnerability + might
or maybe you were naked

Elementalist : warhorn
Engineer: hammer
Guardian: longbow
Mesmer: shield
Necro: greatsword
Ranger: staff
Warrior: torch
Revenant: doesn’t count. It’ new
And what’s left for thief? Rifle or focus….
A 1200 range or an off hand weapon to concentrate thief energy and let him unleash his power to gain stability while damaging multiple targets or porting through shadows to give stealth and protection to his allies.

Ah, OK. Never saw revenant, so i didn’t really know.
Tnx for the info.

Can someone explain me what it is?
It seems like a thief with no offhand teleporting through targets.
Maybe our new weapon will be no weapon.
We already have dual skills without offhand.

Knighthonor.4061:

Thief getting Physicals and Staff.

Source?

I don’t think it could work. We are not warriors, we can’t stay there hitting ppl, we must go in and out with few great shots, so basically if you don’t hit you will not gat healed.
Maybe you could try in a p/p setup.

Now if you want to play a condi d/d you’ll spam 3 3 3 3
I think it’s better to be limited to a certain weapon set then to a single skill.

Hi everyone,
I think they should give a more specific type of damage to each kind if weapon so that any combination would be more adherent to players’ style.
for example:
dagger, short bow -> power dmg (dagger for melee, bow for ranged)
pistol, sword -> condition dmg (pistol for ranged, sword for melee)
a d/d weapon set should have 5 power oriented skills, same for SB.
a p/p weapon set should have 5 skills that do condi dmg, and also s/p.
if anyone would like to go hybrid he will just pick up the right combination:
d/p = 3 power – 2 condi
p/d – s/d = 3 condi – 2 power

doing that anyone will be able to choose his own playstyle and have 5 useful skills for each weaponset.

imo there is no place for skills like death blossom, choking gas or unload.

I think choking gas should become “inferno” applying burning instead of poison and being a fire field so we can stack some might

No words. , just wtf.

New professions will always be OP . in any game. Deal with it. And with gw2 balance time ,it will be OP for a long long time.

1000 toughness
14400 health
Dead theif walking.

i would really prefer hammer or greatsword than rifle…

even more OP than it was… that’s ridiculous.

d/d is viable with at least 3 possible builds, it just need some skill, unlike d/p or warrior, ranger, mesmer which are completely brainless

what is the purpose of having a rank based on a stupid point system?
blobbing =/= skill.
useless

I think this build is pretty strandard. I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s almost like a classical d/d. It completely relies on c&d which is a big weakness imo, especially since there are a tons of immunities, blocks, evades, out there (not for thieves obviously).

I want to be a Hammer Thief…. a giant 2 handed hammer

i found it really hard to be used, but maybe in a ranged build it works better, it’s pretty cool, but i’ve never been able to use

scorpion wire ?

Mefiq.7039:

Unless condi mesmer is rly bad, there is almost no way to win vs him in 1v1 as thief, even if u drop condis every 3 sec he just stacks like 3 condis every shatter not to mention his skills. You cant rly attack you cant rly move, torment was always insane vs thief but when u add it to Confusion it starts getting out of hand. Only trick i found is to focus on backstabs instead of pressure, bs invis bs invis bs invis till they drop rly low.

1 condition every 3s (in stealth)
1 condition for every trick ability (4 tricks in bar with shortened cooldown)
1 condition removed by infiltrator’s return
3 conditions removed by shadow return

that build is a great counter to conditions and performs pretty well in general.

i found this build pretty good for roaming, and it’s good against condition builds.

Solutions to WvW problems:
1. greatly increase reward from kills.
2. divide that reward by the number of attacking ppl
3. introduce unique armor and weapon skins
4. link points earned (from keeps, towers, camps, etc etc) to instant WvW population. eg: 1 keep with 300 ppl in wvw = 1000 points // 1 keep with 10 ppl in WvW = 50 points. (night capping issue solved)

if you want a solution you’ll find a solution, what you are doing is just blablabla

left click on the ground → about face → withdraw

i have alt+\ bound for about face and alt+1 for withdraw so it’s just like a double tap. during withdraw animation i turn the camera using mouse.

I think devs should put a second part in venom skills.
my idea is that the thief should be able to consume venom charges to obtain a certain effect.
Obviously if you consume your charges you will no more apply the effect to your enemy.

skelk venom: heal yourself by x per charge
spider venom: gain 3s of regeneration per charge
skale venom: remove 1 condition per charge
devourer venom: gain 1 stability per charge
ice drake venom: gain 2s of protection per charge
basilisk venom: gain 2s of damage immunity per charge

Random numbers there, try to get the general idea:
venoms could be used offensively OR defensively and thieves would get some more survivability and build diveristy.

what do you think ?

pistol whip roots you in place, it’s good in pve but not easy against other ppl.

they can nerf our defense, taking away protection, stability, immunities …. oh wait.

note that without hidden thief you can have regeneration.

stealth applies when heartseeker lands. so if you find yourself revealed it means you steal too late and mug takes you out of stealth. try to be faster with your steal.
You basically have 3/4 of a second to steal.

do you use mug ?

Kageseigi.2150:

Does Sleight of Hand keep me from using stun breaks?

I think so. There is a bug that prevents a break stun ability to remove daze under certain circumstances.

it’s simple. you just need to steal before landing the heartseeker. while you are in the air (during heartseeker jump) press steal.

mtpelion.4562:

The “Security Issue” is that lots of people used the same password for everything.
Hackers got that one password that was used for everything from a vulnerable site via heartbleed.
Hackers then simply entered the user name and password and stole the account.

If your account was hacked, it was because YOU didn’t follow the basic rules of using the internet:

#1. LONG passwords + Complexity = Security
#2. NEVER, EVER, for ANY reason should you use the same password twice
#3. Always assume links in emails are BAD, especially if you didn’t request the email.
#4. Every website is infected. Repeat that to yourself. Again. Let it sink in. Every website is infected. What do you do after visiting an infected website? You run a scan. Do it. Do it because every website is infected.

this is BS

Not a single problem in almost 2 years and recently, in less than 1 month 3 of my friends had their account hacked.

It is obviously a security issue: something ANet is not aware of and can not fix.

Let’s hope they can at least give items back, since they cannot grant accounts’ security.

now i wear
3 celestial – 3 valkyrie (armor)
full zerk jewel
valk weapons

after the patch and celestial changes i will go … oh wait, the patch… ahahahha

balance patch date: too late.

Because if you don’t have anything useful to say, you can still appeal to emotion, right?

i don’t get what you mean.

balance patch date: too late.

Hello everyone,
this post is for Italians only, so, for better understanding, I will write it in italian.

La gilda Black Thunders [BT], sul server Gandara, sta cercando 1 Guardian supporto.

La gilda è attiva principalmente in WvW (ma si fa anche altro) dalle 21.00 alle 0.00.

Pertanto cerchiamo una persona che:

• usi il guardian come main pg
• sia interessato al roaming in WvW fatto in 2/3 gruppi al massimo
• sia disposto a modificare la propria build per adattarla alle esigenze del gruppo
• utilizzi TS3

Malgrado il tono serio del post, siamo un gruppo di persone che giocano per divertirsi e il divertimento resta il target principale.

Per info: daendur.2357

Roy Cronacher.1576:

I wanted to stop by and say thanks for the feedback. We do feel that the celestial stat set will be hit the hardest with the upcoming critical damage changes, so we are looking at possibly boosting the overall stats by a small amount.

Also the celestial stat set in PvP is using a much lower stat multipliers than the PvE versions so we will be looking at changing this as well. Nothing is set in stone, but I wanted to let guys know this is something we are discussing.

You should give ppl the chance to choose new stats (as you did with magic find) … at least for ascended stuff.

Is there a way to buy Sovereign Crusader – Skin now ?

tnx

Cluster bomb should be addressed and they should cut in half the flying time.

ANET must give us the chance to choose another set, as they did when they changed magic find.

I don’t want to keep my celestial armor is it will don’t max my critical damage.

Refund us for insignas and inscriptions we bought.

Tremain.4623:

At least skelk venom is better than advertised.

really ? same heal as withdraw + 4*760 (if they don’t block, evade) but on a triple cooldown + 1s cast time and no condition remover…

muscarine.5136:

placeboing.3896:

Yeah what is up with that Infusion of Shadow “increase”? It always has given us 2 initiative.

Typo maybe ? Gonna check in game.

not a typo… they really buffed it to 2 ! lolol

warriorjrd.8695:

Great fight with XXX at the south camp. Was definitely the highlight of the night. Big props the the Gandara who were watching and not interfering all I can say to you is Respect.
I like the Gandara I see in game better than the ones on the forums, so please less crying about the tick and lets just enjoy these great fights

It was a nice fight. We saw you fighting and we took a step back to watch an awesome not organized GvG.
gg.

i think you will easily find a group using the looking for group tool.
You are not alone.

undesrtandable but: what do you get from being already at 50 ?
you did hundreds of fractals 20 more are a big deal ?

I have currently three infused backpieces. If they now get it by default, can i get back my 750 ectos? Kind of unfair.

250ecto/backpiece to make it infused. infused backpiece will have +5 agony resist. your backpiece have +5 agony resist. Why you should be refunded?

i dont think this is confirmed. but if it is, then its obviously ok.

what is not confirmed ?

existing infused rings and backpieces will have a +5agony resist already slotted in.

only existing and infused ones

IceVyper.6810:

I wish someone would take you to lvl 80 so that, once you get one-shotted by the first mob, you’ll understand that playing at that level is anything else but piggybacking.

so they are like super-skilled players ?
