Or the skill actually works…

Let’s be realistic here… I think chances of skills working, or adding particle effects to the wire … Which is more likely to happen?

Neither, out of budget. Haz 2 make moar finishers!

This is what i would go with for casual pve.
Sword main for AoE, dagger main for single targets. Note that signet of Malice heals 100 per attack per ennemy hit, so if you pistol whip (9 hits) on say 3 targets that’s 2,7k hp total + you get more from critical hits and initiative used.

Zoozuu – 6.5/10
Avkii – 8/10

My thief is Vian Kennex

As I said already, it’s very cheese and makes the class look bad.

No it doesn’t make the class look bad, it makes the person playing a thief and spamming HS to look bad, that’s what everyone here was on about, maybe you missed that part.

In games in general the term “cheese” holds no weight since one has the ability to use anything and everything in it’s set boundries. The sweet spots tends to be called “cheese” due to their effectiveness, but really it’s only a matter of time before decent players find it’s weaknesses and exploit them. Same thing with HS spammers, when the game first came out, sure, HS spammers had an easy time killing majority, now it beats only the inexperienced ones.

My greatest concern is Dagger/Pistol thieves which just Black powder + Heart seeker all day long. If i catch them with Sword 3# and root them for a bit + 3 clones shatter it usually gets them low, however i’m now on CD and they just continue Black powder + Heart seeker.
I’m fine with stealth and d/d thieves but d/p perma stealth is getting absurd.

Are there any hard lockdowns that can help?

I’ve been running into quite a lot of them lately and all they are doing really is stealthing stealthing……..any possible counter-attacks for that?

So i’ve been playing gw2 since early september 2013 and so far made a ranger, thief and a mesmer to 80, crafted 7 ascended weapons and tried numerious builds.
Never was a big fan of either warrior or guardian they just seem too mainstream and plain boring, strong of course, but boring.

Engineer was my next class i wanted to play with and unlike most engis i wanted to go with a power build over a condition cannon however the thing that really is not letting me fully enjoy the class is a kitten animation.
The hip shot animation just looks awkward, all other skill animations i’m fine with, but the first one just not that pleasing at all. I think the warrior animations should be swapped with the engi ones, everything else can stay the same, i mean engi only gets a few weapon choices excluding kits and they wear medium armor so it would make more sense for them to be the masters of a rifle over a warrior.
Just want to know your thoughts on this.

One of the new charr female face models meshes do not match charr helmet models

Examples:
1st /2nd bugged
3rd/4th how it should look
I could add more, but I’m too tired, hope this gets addressed :/

Unless things change, Celestial is getting a huge nerf. I would stay away from it for now.

Could you by any chance provide the source of that information?

What do you think? Pros/Cons?
I’m trying to figure out a good build that would basically be a hybrid ""jack of all trades"" basically.

Im playing a condition thief myself with perplexity runes and 30 in trickery for Slight of hand trait and i gotta stay it’s difficult to deal against it in a 1v1 scenario. Necro is probably the most efficient counter to this, but others melt away quickly. (Only personal opinion before you rustle your jimmies.)
I also thought about this and despite how i would love the ability to burn i have to admit the dps conditions would provide at that point would make it the superior build.
It would be OP.

Typically when i open from stealth i also pop skale venom and open up at their face then use Shadow strike to pop 2 more stacks of torment with a total of 5 stacks and shadow step back for range. Also with 5x shots as a opener each shot has 20% chance to land 3 stacks of confusion with runes of perplexity.
At this point the target has 5 stacks of bleed, 5 of torment, 3 of confusion.
Stealing to their face for interrupt adds 5 more stacks of confusion and poisons them
(10/0/30/0/30 setup)

It is really effective and melts them away, you run you get melted by torment, you use skills you get melted away by confusions plus the bleeds.

I see no reason to add burning, it would be just too much.

8/10 if the name was just Aesperus, fitting for a sylvari, but i give 5/10 because of the the “The Pox” addon……..to which my initial reaction was: wtf, why? No offence! >.>

I named mine: Kaimera Voidspawn.
Voidspawn because sylvari are not born the traditional mammal way and since mine comes at the cycle of the night.

^
I’d give your character a 9/10 The hair style and skin color do seem a bit off tho.

This is my main Sylvari daughter of the void.
Mainly i wanted a dark/violet mix which are traditional colors that symbolize void.
Also Mathilde’s revolver and razor go really well and give it a better feel (: wish i had Roxx’s quiver too

So i’ve been playing with my thief condition style and i’m actually liking it in wvw quite enjoyable in pve as well, now the question is which runes do you think are better for a condition oriented thief?
I’m running with Torment runes right now along side Venom Aura, Skale venom and it’s pretty sweet, then again i’m curious about perplexity. How well do they work on a condi thief?

Honestly i went on trying out a 10/0/30/0/30 condi thief p/d and its pretty fun, nasty sustain 3k armor, 18k-ish hp. About 1.8k condi damage is doable without stacking corruption
Con- nothing dies like in a few back-stabs, but you can apply constant presure.

I like my damage backstabber too, but really having a hard time balancing stats to make it work equally well in most scenarios and the amount of time/resource investment it needs in gear is too kitten high!

This is basically the build im theorising a 0/30/30/10/0
Critical strikes being all about….well critical strikes really.
Shadow arts about stacking might via stealth and condi remove/ regen.

25 stacks of perc. is not obligatory, a mere 8 stacks can be beneficial.
Please do tell how you see this!

In case you happen to be one of the kittens QQing all day long how they hate anet and blah blah this and blah blah that then please leave, do not post your sadness post your constructive criticism Pros/Cons.
