Guild Wars 2

Shadow Protector trait’s regeneration boon doesn’t stack duration. Can this please be fixed anytime soon?

Tengu became Feral Werebatbirds.

bettadenu.5483:

Last Refuge is a love/hate trait, honestly it needs to ignore revealed effect and allow you to get into stealth at said %hp. But to compensate has to move up in the trait tree otherwise it’s too OP for just 5 points.

That would be an absolutely perfect fix. .-.

If you’re talking about Throw Gunk~ it’s my favorite skill to steal. ;o

How do I take them on? I just poke them and run around, going about my business, till they either get bored and leave me alone or I run into an ally to help me kill it, lol.

Yeah, nothing new about this build, sorry. =3
I also prefer Hidden Killer though, it’s just such an awesome trait, and I prefer a few soldier trinkets and weapons cuz simply never dying while enemies drop like flies around you is a wonderful feeling.

I tried it with a random pug and eventually left because it was taking too long. Kholer boss also reset on me at 1% HP on steps when everyone was dead but me. Makes me wonder why they nerfed my Stealth so bad when they didn’t even fix the resetting.

I did all 3 paths later with guildies, some who never ran AC at all and one who knew the new path’s mechanics and we went through really fast~ some changes made easier. Think the main issue may just be a learning one since everything isn’t just shoot/hit things.

The price is the way it is cuz of some kinda crazy exploit streamers were doing. It used to be a lot lower before then. Then they punished everyone by skyrocketing it.

Fractals are pretty awful for making any profit unless you actually form a farming group to kill mobs in places like the dredge fractal. You can’t even sell exotic drops from Fractals.

Hard to obtain Legendarys = Sellable.
Hard to obtain Mini Pets = Account Bound.

Wut?

I’d let him lick me.

We had him as well today and had a lot of people. Got him to 10%~ and ran outa time.
Tried to take out his buffs with Thief sword but his might was never-ending and soaked it all up. Need buncha Mesmers for him I guess. Does that remove his fire shield?

They changed it to fix a bug with bosses resetting (mainly with Arah’s boss from hell). But they only focused and fixed resetting and didn’t even stop to think even a little about how it effected Thieves, thus causing more bugs and mechanic flaws.

I played since Headstart/Release and found a total of 5 keys from mob drops. 5th one being this week. TF2 had a better chance at giving you something cool + it was always tradable, but in this game the chance at anything worthwhile is too low to bother. They’d need to flood them with town clothes, hats and weapon skins.

I run a high toughness tanky type Thief. Usually I have a heavy or two in my pve groups that can take threat from me AFTER I stealth. This is no longer an option. Now I have to be more creative in tanking, kiting and moving more. A lot more annoying for the group that now needs to chase mobs more. Tank switching was viable with stealth dropping aggro, now it is not.
Also, now that downed skill 3 is pretty much useless will we get a new one?

this was the exact reason for the change…

being able to bounce a boss off two thieves can be considered possibly as an exploit as no other class can drop aggro like that..

all this change did was to make thieves have to handle them like the rest of us have too..

that is apart from some of the other issues i read here like positioning for side strikes and getting hit before you can land that hit for instance..

and for the pvp side of things im glad thieves cannot abuse culling so easily..

p.s. my pet remembers every time you mistreated him and he’s comming for blood!

We aren’t like other classes though, we have the lowest HP and defense (no def boons.. stealth pretty much was it). Even in crappy Aion Assassins had a skill to drop aggro~ I thought it was working as intended so we don’t insta-die constantly in Melee PvE.
If you build toughness+dmg like me for more survivability you actually draw more aggo, apparently. Low HP/ High Toughness~ sometimes I’ll end up with 100% permanent focus over the heavys.
Maybe they should of had it dump 99% aggro instead? The instant AI tracking is still so weird, unrealistic and annoying in pve though. It could use some kind of LOS. This effects non thief allys in PvE as well, I can’t protect others as well anymore when they’re dieing. Our support role was nerfed with this.

You don’t have the lowest defense or HP.

We have the lowest defense and HP.

We don’t have shields and defense boons like Ele and Guardians do.

I have Stow/Sheath weapon on R and am naturally used to pressing it all the time from playing Bethesda games too much. Then there’s always condition removal, which some people severely shun from their hotbar for some reason.

Auesis.7301:

You can just keybind “About Face” and hit that then Withdraw if you want to go 180.

There is nothing wrong with this skill.

If you can do stuff like that then that’s all the more reason to allow withdraw to dodge-roll in the direction of your choice.

slingblade.1437:

As a wvw-focused player who’s endured months of stealth+culling nonsense, I love this thread. The wolf came out of nowhere!

Why still focus thief? Since the update a while back everyones culling

They really need to add a LOS to stealth and mob/pet aggro. Who knows if they can even pull off a mechanic like that though. They added a bug fix that caused more bugs, shoulda just left it alone till it was 100% before adding.

Don’t make troll threads like this, they might take it seriously and actually do it.

Incoming ‘chest dont drop loot while guested’ patch?

Exactly, people complain about something they’re equally doing and then poof, Anet takes it all away. People should be happy that their lower zones are being more populated and not being greedy that they can’t have priority first. As I said in my other post
“By the way, you know what’s funny, Anet isn’t going to nerf guesting because of you kittens complaining. What you’ll see in future patch notes is if you guys keep this up “World boss chest loot adjusted”. Everyone loses.

Also, the REAL reason to this complaint is kittens going to the event few minutes before it’s over. If you went to an event well before the time it spawn, even if you hit a overflow, you should have no problem leaving it."

A very simple solution to making sure you get to the event. As for the lag, I suggest a better computer or turning down the settings. I get lower fps but it’s hardly unplayable.

I was referring to the people guesting to get dragons actually, not the complainers. Always have to be an exploit in some way to mess up stuff.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Monthly = Daily now. :x

I always thought Pink was a manly color that showed people you fear nothing.

BECAUSE Anet cares enough about our physical and mental health to not torment us by hanging a super delicious carrot at the end of the 9/5 Dailys score.

iNaddict.8021:

yeah.. downed skill 3 is useless… well it is already useless so yeah..

Had it’s use of getting enemy off you by using it and then teleporting far away as possible immediatly after. Now it can’t save us at all. ;x

Also just realized how awful our downed skills are going to be now.

Attack an enemy and then stealth. Run behind a wall, or pretty much anywhere out of his range. Stealth ends. Enemy knows EXACTLY where you are and immediately runs for you.

Kind of an awkward way to address stealth aggro. Didn’t know it needed it in first place though. o.O we’re squishy melee, I don’t wanna tank in groups.

I miss both styles of the Luxon Assassin vest.

Check out these shoulders~

Lotta armor simply isn’t scaled down or positioned correctly for Sylvari.
These ones though are floating pretty high. ;/ Excuse me for not wearing pants btw.

It’s a lot of work being Queen, she doesn’t have time to worry about such things and wants to relax. Maybe it’s also easier for her to make more clones when she’s wearing less.

Personally, I don’t wear shoes in-doors at home. She’s always in her room isn’t she?

I’ve seen her outdoors during the CM dungeon, iirc. Don’t remember if she had shoes though. All I know is if she was a real person she’d be rediculously hot.

I remember seeing in an old thread before that she doesn’t wear anything under her dress either. ;/

Thief with an Ambulance mount that I could ride around while saving lives with Shadow Refuge.

Personally, I don’t wear shoes in-doors at home. She’s always in her room isn’t she?

Cuz Thieves have the absolute lowest HP and Defense in the game and rely on movement. Elementals use magic and magic cheats? Cuz Guardians are still tankier overall and everyone needs somekinda survival skill. Mesmers are actually pretty slow and confusion is pretty much just a Mesmer thing. Necros still rule over conditions despite being a broken class (I still love mine).

Zapan.7460:

there are more than Karka on the map. Anticipate seeing bots killing drakes and sharks underwater. I’d guess, after seeing a teleporting ranger in deep water on the edge of an Orr map killing sharks.

Don’t forget the gathering teleport bots, like the one I just saw and failed to report before he vanished cuz the champ karka was in the way

I hope for some Events that spawn tons of Karka, and a Giant Turtle boss that’s stronger than Jormag. Killing him would drop a chest that can (but wont) drop Precursors, like the Dragons.

Also need a gigantic multi phase event involving Owain.

I also wish the north side ocean was accessible for some underwater content.

LinkR.6190:

Home instance? What the heck are you guys talking about?

Technically you have a home in GW2, it’s pretty much just an unfinished project at the moment. Lots of empty space. Unless you’re a Sylvari, then you have a lot of strange people loitering around your home instance.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Home_instance

It feels like a default steal item when they haven’t actually programmed a steal item table into the mob or couldn’t think of something else. Need more variety either way. :< A lot of enemies that give it aren’t feather or fur related.

What is the range on Venom Sharing? I had a guildy messing around with it before and it seemed pretty small aoe.

Feb 27th @ 3 AM EST.

Maybe if they let me Customize my Thief Guild NPCs as heroes, and maybe the racial elite summons as well with an extra buff added. :x

Solo dungeons would be interesting though since there aren’t anymore after you finish personal story.

My main is Thief, so that already gives my Warrior and Necro alts an advantage when fighting them because I know exactly how they work. Spend some time playing alts for each class, even if it’s in Spvp if you don’t wanna level.

I always wished Withdraw and Roll for Initiative would allow you to roll in any direction like normal dodges do.

Loading.4503:

Try playing a p/d thief with apothecary gear and undead runes, u just tank everything and heal completely everytime you stealth

And I also play a shortbow build with clerics gear and dwayna runes. I’m just evading and dodging nonstop with a boatload of regen. And since I’m not stealthing they can’t QQ afterwards muahahha

Yeah I have an armor set like this. It’s a nice ‘in your face’ at tanky d/d elementalist when you become a better healing juggernaut than them. :s

Any ETA on when more Quaggan songs will be added to GW2?

Possibly a whole soundtrack worth of Quaggan songs even?

I never liked CoF armor from the start. The helmets are especially ugly and it looks like you have a burnt tire melted to your torso. ;/ IMO you need to be a Charr for it to look decent anyways.

Caltrops casting reveal would 100% break condition thieves due to them being permanently unable to use stealth pretty much ever. Which is why is functions as it does now. It’s working as intended ~ You can see it without the aoe circle, and the dodging one is tiny range.
