go for a guardian/warrior
you will thank me later
i also think the HS spam must stop !
it should cost 5 ini like the sword 2 skill

the venom share makes your party strong if <300 range (all melee?)
but yourself is weak, and a liability if the party is not staying close to you
can we have medium HP pools ??
i don’t want heavy, thieves don’t wear plate !
robes might be a better choice with upping the HP pool ?
(edited by DanH.5879)
it seems like the constant QQ of the warrior forum is working though, as they get buffed every patch while we get nerfed every patch.
i like this, i must go to worrior forum and demand more buffs !
It was ok, nothing new…
Stopped watching when you were spamming HS on an invulnerable foe… facepalm
HS spam…the final frontier
I’m actually thinking about rerolling thief as norn only for the SL dash
…
it should be nerfed ! it is so OP….NO skill covers so much distance !
j/w….
If I had perma swiftness, I could catch warriors a lot easier xD
try a guardian
3 targets pw 9×3=27 hits
270*27=7290 retaliation damage for just 1 pistol whip
best troll skill i have encountered so far
try daggerstorm in a mob all with retaliation active ->instant death/suicide
thieves don’t bring enough to the table.
wut?
As the title says, is the thief worth playing anymore, after all those nerfs?
no
and when i say thief is still OP no one believes me ~!
I discovered that for the final Tier 5 of the Yakslapper achievement (WvW) needs to be killed 1 000 000 caravans.
After making some simple counting, I am sure this is some bug.Here is my countings:
In my experience, you can kill near 2 caravans every 5 minutes. So it makes near 25 caravans in an hour. So you need 40 000 hours to complete this achievent.
Is it a lot or not?
Let’s imagine that you spend all you free time in GW2 and all you do in it is killing caravans on WvW. So you have 8 hours in a day to kill yaks. It will take 5000 days to have this achievement.
To get this achievement, you need to spend 14 years of your active life on killing caravans.
Even if it’s 100 000 kills, it takes your 1,5 year doing nothing on you free time than just killing yaks. Everyday.That’s why I beleive it’s a bug.
enjoy the grind !
it was always buggy, but a-net turned a blind eye on thief problems…
my advice: never use it unless you want the vigor part

Is there anything I should know about thief for dungeons
yes, it is the worst pve class as far as i know
it is too easy to spam skills ! and stealth !
I know I enjoy waiting 45 seconds for 3 seconds of chill. Sure, axe rangers get the same thing on a 10 second cooldown, and get 10 seconds of weakness with it for free, but they’ll never have the appreciation for it that comes with anticipation and waiting. In that respect, thief venoms are like Christmas morning!
i loled….
kill shot should do 19k damage !
@Bull Zooker
And this is what I, like the OP, want to get rid of. Too many talent-less players thinking they’re all great when they down someone like this.
remember AC, before, it was a heaven for parties
then, someone had the “bright” idea to make it hard
the frequency of completed AC runs dropped 50-80% ?
p/v/t
you are welcome
so yeah its a class ruining idea
that’s why we like it !!!
The class is still broken one year into the game.
yes, they are spamming skills !
too OP ?
Message Body length must at least be 15.
good luck finding a pug that will look past that you’re not a warrior, guardian, mesmer.
so much hatred and discrimination based on class…
yes…yes…. !!!
the class should be named: betmen
you are welcome
we don’t deserve to be treated like other classes
we are a dirt class that needs to be nerfed into oblivion
remember that
yes my friend, thieves are not wanted in PVE/dungeons
that’s a fact that can’t be denied
What’s the definition of overpowered?
1.when your 29 (yourself included) guys team beat the 30 guys opposing team
this is OP
2. when you solo with your lvl 80 full ascended thief and kill 3 lvl 10 noobs in wvw (1 vs 3 omg !)
3. when the whiners come to thief forum and complain about OP, they mean he/she got wasted in 1 vs 1 in wvw
(edited by DanH.5879)
Man my internet screwed up hard. Basically, this:
2 thieves in that composition, I’d love to know the build!
they are OP, wtf is this ?
how the nerf team missed such things !!!
The subject line says it all.
I’m pretty much fed up with a class design allowing those who pick up the Thief class to spend less than a day with it and compete with some of the best DPS metagamers to ever put their hands on GW2…by pressing 2…a lot.
Now before you crazed defenders of all things Thief get all up in arms over another thread calling for a nerf, please read, let this idea bounce around in your head a bit, and then reply with an actual opinion.
Are you ready?
Are you sure?
Ok, here it is:
New sPvP and WvW Feature: Exhaustion “when activating the same non-auto-attack (#1 skill) weapon skill within 2 seconds that skill gains a 1.5 second cooldown that stacks in intensity.”
As far as I can tell this only effects skill spamming and doesn’t circumvent the initiative system, but rather encourages learning to play the class as intended. Pressing one key to victory is pandering to bad players and trivializing the class as a whole. Watching an initiative bar and playing Wack-A-Mole with the 2-key should not be the back bone of a play-style.
My biggest problem doesn’t stem from being attacked by this type of play style, oh no. I beat those kids like it’s a Chris Brown and Rihanna RP. The problem is my difficulty in learning the class. Everytime I try to get into it, I get myself into a situation in which repetitively pressing 2 is the best choice (cloak & dagger, backstab, they run…soooo heartseeker…still alive, still running, sooooo heartseeker…still not down? still running…heartseeker!) Other classes, of with I have 4 fully exoticed at 80, I’m forced to use something else, because the skill I’d like to use is on cool-down, so I have to figure out what to do with my other options. This is how I learn, and this prevents me from playing a non-2-spamming thief. I burn out my initiative pressing 2 and if it doesn’t kill them I stealth away and recover…and then try something else only to end up doing it again, which actually beats other thieves more often than anyone else, which is dumb, since I’ve collectively put in about 10 hours of game time into the class and only in sPvP.
they are spamming skillz ! cheaterz !
wtf, why thief has no CD on skills !!!!??
They said in interview they were going to give us burn condition. Hasn’t happened yet. (along with more mobility)
they were eating kitten
Torment?
Rework of Jug?!
Rush/Bull?!?
Healing Buffs?!?!?!
Apparently I’ve been sucked into parallel dimension where ANet actually <3’s warriors!
We care about all professions. =)
yeah, right….and the head of the balance team is a warrior ?
obvious troll is obvious…
they nerfed ranges i think without telling us….
I like how warriors got the most buffs this patch.
the pve monster must be fed with more buffs !
op: Used to be Pro, But is it time to go home?
my answer is YES
3 kills on 10 deaths is a very good ratio !
they are stealing all my boons ! wtf !
i think the +2 ini on stealth trait should be removed from the game!
so, based on the video shown
means that mesmers are UP and/or thieves are OP
correct?
seems the 2 mesmers didn’t had a chance.
OP class ?
the class should be nerfed, because wvw is full of terrible players? Did i really just read that?
yes, the mob demands this !
So i’ve encountered a few thieves today which seem to stealth every 2 sec then re-appear hit you stealth again.
He didn’t do all that great damage but eventually he’d win because there’s no way I could get him he shortbows away stealth pretty much 90% of the time.
I couldn’t remember thieves could stealth so MUCH is it a specific build because I like to know seems fun he was continuously fighting 1v5 not dying ;/
i knew it, thieves are OP … again !
nerfhammer, where are you boy ?
but things is it is really glass, HP is only 11.8-12.2k. you gotta time your attacks.
but you have omg, wtf criticals !
ah yes, did i mention that stealth makes you invincible in wvw ?!?
don’t take the SA tree
->permanent fix
Was just rolling in WvW and i got double back stabbed by thief in same second…this a bug anyone is aware of?
i think it’s a new thief cheat/expoit…
only p/d set will benefit from hybrid builds,
and clusterbomb spam.
viable for wvw yes via p/d, because might gives +35 power AND +35 condition damage, so double benefits
,
for pve….. a “maybe” from my side…..
(edited by DanH.5879)
Considering he hit you with CnD twice, it had to have been 4-5 seconds. If you’re not capable of reacting at all in that large amount of time, I’m sorry, maybe WvW isn’t the place for you.
yeah, please delete the game too
i think your build will be nerfed in the next patch
it’s good ….too good !!!
all D/P thieves suck.
They OP, pls nerf !
