Backstab doesn’t actually increase dps anymore. The after cast delay is enormous. You may as well just auto.
Vault is good though, though I wonder if dust strike is better.and pistol whip is of course terrible at dps
Yeah, Backstab has a pretty long and pointless aftercast of just standing still doing nothing. They probably shoulda shaved that too. Although it might mess with the 3 hit > backstab fluidity again.

Guess they forgot about it or hadn’t read it yet.
Holy crap I just realized what that means and it’s amazing. :O
Just gonna throw in that I’ve always hated it’s targeting mechanics as well. Makes it annoying to fight anyone stealthed. One of the reasons I don’t like using it. Staff can do it just fine with how it’s projectile can be aimed anywhere and aoe explodes.
The Audio of Shatterstone doesn’t match the animation anymore. It makes my OCD unhappy. XD
It’s little details like this that show how much they truly care about eles.
Not just Ele but the game quality in general.
It literally means they have no QA testing done at all because something like this is so easily noticeable. It’s embarrassing.
They rather ship everything unfinished and have us do all the testing for them on live instead of double checking their own work themselves.
For someone who likes S/D, P/x, and D/D-SB-Condi the most, it feels like not a lot really happened for me. At the most I’m greatful Diamond Skill isn’t insanely OP anymore.
All the D/P players can be happy though but it’s not a playstyle I enjoy and rather the class had more options.
I need way more than a few lines of patch notes every 4-8 months.
Acro is more comparable to DareDevil at least to me. Acro works in a condi build since it gives a similar number of dodges thanks to the constant vigor and enhanced vigor effect. That said it still needs a killer grandmaster trait to make it more appealing.
Not to mention the crappy dodge minor trait is the only form of swiftness Condi builds can get w/o dropping a main source of dps (Caltrops/Lotus Training).
Please no, for Dwayna’s sake no.
I don’t want my 2nd DB interrupting my 1st DB instead of performing 2 DBs in a row.
Teef helicopter flight inc?
It’s a blender, not a kitteng helicopter.
Blenders don’t fly.
Thief is not flying while using DB.
Not yet.
Then it’s not yet a helicopter — it’s currently a blender. Sheesh.
The point is if it’s not queued and can be used while in use then you’d take flight into the sky till you ran out of ini.
Dagger Storm is closer to go airborne than DB.
Nothing to do with skill queuing. -.- I’m leaving naow.
Sad thing is now we wait 4 months till next balance patch where hopefully they address the problems they missed.

This is why Core Thief should have Axe so we can be like Lara Croft and climb and kill with it. :| Climbing Axe OP.
Lara Croft usually had a hook on her rope – I’ve never seen her using an axe.
She has Uzis though – so whenever you heard me screaming “Uuuuhhh Uzzziiiiiiiss” (found them) or “Kitten, no ammo anymore” (used them) – you knew what I was doing.
She’s a Shortbow/Axe Teef.

They said Shatterer would be level appropriate for that zone. Was not surprised at the difficulty. Kind of a fun fight actually.
Does that mean Claw of Jormag will be far stronger than Tequatl?

I was hoping Sword AA would do more DPS than the rest since it’s fulla utility. Oh well.
/sulk
Dagger DPS should focus more on Backstabs imo and finishing blows. Except for Condi, which mainly needs Death Blossom polished (ground target).
(edited by Doggie.3184)
As a Thief I agree that this AA dmg is wrong and disappointing. I was hoping my Sword AA would outshine my Dagger AA. Buff Sword to 6k, Nerf Dagger and buff Backstab instead. :P
Buff Condi too. Add burn and SB condi AA.
Ele too used to never taking damage I guess. XD
Common thing with Thief. People immediately cry nerf at something about it even though they have no idea how it works, have no interest in trying to figure anything out and often have no idea if it was even ever used against them in the first place. It’s like when I killed someone with my Sword long ago and got spammed with complaints about my Heartseeker being too OP.
Makes me sad. No condi or range love. :o
Thx, Kraggy. That patch note confuzzled me. XD
You need an Anet Icon meow.
Majority of the time I used Elementalist and Ranger to reach Diamond. 99% solo Queue. Guardian was my 3rd Class for the evil “Win Games on Three Different Classes” achievements.
Although I played Revenant and Thief a good lot in early divisions mid Sapphire and below till I realized how much easier life is solo queuing on a class like Celestial Ele that almost never dies, keeps allies alive and still does tons of damage. Ele was also a class I almost never played aside from dailies before league. Ranger sustain, decent dmg and cc spam was better in some situations but avoided using him against Necro stacking grps.
Also went though the whole thing mostly off daily 3 game wins cuz I get burnt out of Spvp easily. It’s not really very enjoyable regardless of if you win/lose to me.

People like the Create a Waifu simulator and Korea always prioritizes selling sex a lot in all their games~ it’s nothing really new and just an upgraded reskin finally being released in NA. Many people I know DL’d the game just to create a character and then barely played it afterwards.
Although too much freedom in character creation can also be terrifying once you run into all the ugly troll characters. :P

They’re not Staves. They’re just really long Wands.
Perfect for a big strong Wizard like mine.
Yup. Gimme wallet keys. Annoying when I can’t open something on my alt.
Faren X Harem of every female NPC.
Rox X Braham
Kassmeer X Marjory X Caithe
Poobadoo X Hobo Tron
Abyssal. It’s a play off the word abyssopelagic: the deepest areas of the ocean.
Abyssal One?
All Thief nerfs.
Lack of Love for Pistols/Shortbow.
Ascended armor inflation making it impossible to get a 2nd set, causing build swapping to be a pain in the taint.
HoT story being short and rushed with no LS.
Man-skirt armor, coats and dresses. The amount of new armor is saddening and it’s all same old thing.
Armor not scaling to body/race types.
Outfits banning wardrobe helm skins.
Male sexism.
Missing Legendary weapons.
Crafting Mat grind at end of Legendary Collections.
Grind in general.
Treasure Mushroom carrot on stick grind with unreachable carrot.
Excessive amount of Dailys.
Dungeons RIP
Having to click 9000 bags per hour (bph) and other items that require human hand and mouse sacrifices
Bunker Wars.
Capture The Point PvP.
WvW neglect.
Devs that keep everything Top Secret.
The fact that there’s more I can list.
Would be better to make an alternate version than actually changing it for everyone.
Quaggans probably already named it Foo.
Probably cuz of the whole pricing controversy which really wasn’t a great idea. Then as the game sunk in and found many were generally disappointed in it overall those holding off would just continue to.
o_O this is expecting Wildstar to shutdown by the end of 2016?
If they do, hopefully they redesign the entire game to be a world-wide sandbox since that’s the only amazing aspect of the game.
Ground target Death Blossom pl0x.
You’re lucky he didn’t steal your heart like the dragon in Cassardis.

Due to abusing healing minions; premades will completely dominate stronghold. ;[
The price has reached the point of where they should crash it. Not something I’d pay so much for either way though.
Core Rev needs more weapons. :P
It wasn’t designed till later in development to be able to swap weapons so I guess that’s why it has so few. Now that they can swap it seem like there’s too few now.
I been killing them every day since they were found and still nothing. Very annoying and tedious daily to deal with as well. You don’t need stuff like this to get me to log in, Anet, just keep it at log-in reward, broz. This ain’t fun.
Ancient Karka.
The achievement makes me sad.
I preferred zerk armor and valk chest and zerk/valk asc trinkets for 15k~ hp.
But I since changed all my stuff to Viper+Carrion cuz I got bored.
The secret is get a permanent bank contract, put it in the box and now your ENTIRE bank is now accessible anywhere by all characters. Yep..
A 3k gold secret. Gem store is designed for whales only.
Why stop at 6? How about making it an account bag slot for 20 slot bagz. :P
I’m unhappy cuz I wanna wear what I wanna wear so I can play how I wanna play. :>
I wanna mix everything!
But at the least I’ll never accept the fact that we can’t wear any hat with any outfit. That makes outfits a backwards evolution from GW1’s. There’s no excuse for that other than they no wanna put the effort in.:(:(:*(:(AI(DIAFFSA
So I’m sad, unhappy and scared.
I don’t recall any of that being a myth other than was the Dev playing Thief? I’ve even played with random ones in Spvp/PvP/WvW (some as commanders) but little to no ones ever seen one as a Thief. :P Most often Rangers and Necros it seems.
Pfft, let the man have his affix.
Wait, we have rewards in this game? Rofl.
Save them for next year I guess, maybe it’ll return since mass devouring thousands of items achievements seem to be whats hip and trendy now for GW2.
Yeah they said they were only making the drinker permanent so I nommed all mine before event died in a fire.
