Lmfao.

On a more serious note, would you guys think I’m crazy for thinking DD would put thief in a good spot x.x?

Sounds pay2win then if you mean that cuz vanilla needs put in good spot. Which is why DD becomes underwhelming when it coulda just been acrobatics rework.

To prove a point: Which is Thief isn’t the Assassin anymore. Revenant is, and shall replace it. Easier to just replace the class than redesign it.

Wish it just autolooted. Hopefully they pass that pact commander autoloot thingy for WvW as I don’t think it was decided yet.

I’ve had to go on Covert Op missions on my Thief into a hive of enemies just to retrieve 1-2 loot bags more than a few times.

i love the bifrost, but it just doesn’t fit the thief theme (unless you’re going for a bifrost/dreamer double rainbow combo). as for nevermore… it’s a really cool staff, just not for melee. i mean, it’s a freaking twig.

so… i’d say bifrost, if only because it looks like something you could beat people up with, rather than something that would at most scratch their eyes and mildly annoy cattle.

But it has high Elemental, Impact, Slash and Puncture damage all in one weapon with all those sturdy branches and shinies. Getting slapped around with it would be painful.

Plus you can sneak up on people and shove a giant stick up their…

completely unrelated to the subject, but i’ve always hated games that split physical damage like that :P

Well it’s a real thing IRL though that different damage types exist~ You swing something like the Raven Staff at someone and it’ll be breaking bones and bruising muscle with the Staff’s weighty impact while it’s sharp branches poke all kinds of holes through their body, puncturing organs and drawing out blood and swiping it across their body at the same time will leave all kinds of cuts and gashes, destroying tendon, slicing veins open.. etc While who knows what the bird’s energy will do~ possibly burning their skin off or something. Lotta different beatings to be had in one fowl swoop.

All Bifrost can do is the impact part mostly. It’ll be smacking people around with blunt force. It’s not going to cut or stab things as easily as Nevermore can. So the Caw Caw staff is the deadlier weapon… If you know how to use it. Twirling that thing the same way will take skill. :P Sylvari will be more natural branchy stick masterz though.

I’m also going to be extreme and go ahead and train my Raven to be a bird as terrifying as Pet Shop. As long as it doesn’t turn on me. I’ll just have to teach it to love dogez. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juR7qx1xIF8

They flat out broke shadowstepping and the pathing is intensely awful currently.
You can be stopped by any minor elevation difference, such as small hills and slightly arced bridges, stairs, pebbles, slightly slanted terrain, everything.

Cross your fingers for a fix.

Clearly it happens when a toxic Sylvari visits the bank for his secret pr0n stash when no ones around.

I’ve always wished there was a Steal xfers conditions trait.

I also wouldn’t mind being able to reverse pickpocket grenades that explode a few seconds later, knocking them flying. :P

Fun to do in Fallout.

It’s too hard to play.

It’s not used anymore cuz it’s become too easy to counter and wastes ini, and the 4s reveal in Spvp hurts it a lot. The nerf to Shadow’s Embrace was pretty much the final nail in coffin for it. I always still used it till then and eventually couldn’t stand it anymore and went to D/P.

Ohoni.6057:

I had been pretty laid back about the Daredevil dodges being on the GM traits. My Thief was my character with World Completion, and also had been very frugal with my existing Hero Points, so I have something like 200+ points just sitting around on her, ready to fully unlock the trees at launch.

But now, three days before launch, they announce that you have to first blow most of your current points on existing skill lines, whether you want those skills or not, before you can even start unlocking the Elite spec. This means that on day one, I will be able to pick up a broken spec, but not have nearly enough points to fully unlock the actual CORE of the spec.

Way to go ANet, masterful troll. You got me.

I mentioned this in the megathread~ the problem with our core mechanic being part of the GM traits is you won’t feel like your elite spec at all upon unlocking it. You’ll have to max it first to feel any difference. It’s a poor design and should be an F3 toggle instead that you unlock with the first minor.

Silly man, you can’t trigger berserker mod with it… it’s useless !

BlackBunny.3681:

Neither…. I dont think either of them fit as a melee wep. No idea why they released another caster staff when they just implemented 2 melee staff users.

Share your feeling there.

Of course you could. Thief has high crit chance~ you could run Raven Staff with everything; like this for example.

They’re beautiful. :< But with HoT soon I can’t afford.
I also need Claw weapons for Zhang He cosplay.

garganor.9824:

Supposedly yellow dots are those that are also in your guild.

.

That means the problem can be resolved simply by kicking everyone in your guild.

Cuz cats are naughty and need spankingz. So it’s no wonder their name has become a bad word.

So will action camera allow us better accuracy to fire at people’s heads on top of WvW walls and be able to hit them easier or will the same invis target barriers be in place? My Thief can fire Skill1 arrows at people right on edge of wall and get obstructed dispite a clear visible path to their character if I viewed them in first person mode for example.

Need a toggle for all armor parts like Wildstar does.

I don’t really want to buy HoT right now. I tried necro and it was actually alright, but it doesn’t really afford the same feeling as thief.

One of the reasons I like Necro as my 2nd fav is cuz it does feel like Thief. Just run around berserk with dagger/warhorn and abuse perma death shroud as if it was stealth and pew pew range backstab things for loadsadamage. You’ll feel like a loud Thief.

A loud, slow thief with lots of HP. So…not a thief.

Well mines a Thief so I’m just that awesome. He steals souls, backstabs and isn’t slow actually. Just doesn’t have a shortbow.

I might actually buy those silly things if you were able to use them on all your characters simultaneously.

Since you can only play 1 character at the time how hard is it to bank the tools and take em out with the new one you log in with?

Very hard actually.

very easy actually,

although i dont do it myself (I still have frostbitten tools im trying to use up on char’s) i do end up at a bank before i log off of a character virtually every single time (to deposit tomes, and other things that waste space on a character)

all it takes is one loading screen extra (re:HOTM)

really not that hard…

It’s very difficult for me to overcome it, personally. It physically and mentally exhausts me to constantly swap them. Good for you for being able to handle it, but my disabilities cannot.

This has annoyed me for quite some time. Can you please set it to where when you finish an Spvp Track that it reactivates itself automatically instead of moving to a completely random track? I just noticed today my CoF jumped to useless (to me) Balthazar track for 2 mini bars without me realizing it. :<
There’s been many times in past it’s wasted some of my xp into a track I already 100% cuz it jumps to it on it’s own.

I’d be so happy if the hide costume helmet toggle shows your armor’s helmet unless that was toggled too.3333333333333333333333333333

Shadow Form.

You become invulnerable to all damage and cannot be inflicted with a condition.

It was a GW1 skill.

It was a GW1 skill.

Yeah, but it cant be that op in gw2 because all you going to hear is mimimimimimi

It had self inflicted debuffs on top of it though and using it in pvp was dangerous if poor timing.

infinityandbeyond.9652:

Good news people. Incoming thread lock on 3,2,1 …….

Not until I make a post that somewhat relates. Pandas. They are always crying. But are they? Hmmmm. Also OP take some responsibility. Obviously you took some part in the drama that occurred a year ago although you’re unwilling to see it or admit to it. It takes two to argue. :-D. Also pandas aren’t always the victim but some people think they are cause they also look so depressed. But it is a common misconception. Okay now the thread is …….. Derailed?

Why can’t everyone just love everyone? :o

Looks like you did something to upset him and refuse to acknowledge it and your denial just upsets him further. Either way you can apologize or continue ignoring/blocking each other and there’s no toxicity to be had since the interactions are non existent. This also has nothing to do with anyone else and is simply a small “domestic” issue. It doesn’t speak for the whole community.

Narrrz.7532:

noooo i’d say you’re mistaken. Leather definitely has many more, much nicer looking sets than plate. Light armour definitely has the edge, though

(which makes sense, because light armour is essentially just clothing, and leather reinforced clothing. As armour gets heavier, style must be sacrificed for actual function)

Not if you’re male. We’re completely neglected.

They could give us a grappling hook to steal items with from a distance.

Maybe it could be tagged onto Quick Pockets trait, which feels kinda underwhelming.

Lyger.5429:

Kain Francois.4328:

The new animation is REALLY good! Can’t wait for a Nevermore!

I think the Daredevil is finally ready.

Rich Fuel.7253:

now fix revenant’s staff melee animation

Plz don’t. It’s fine the way it is. I want at least one class to use spinny animations.

Yea it actually fits revenant. Maybe with just a little tweak on the Charr, but no need to change it completely.

I thought the Rev one was fine from what I recall. He at least spun it more horizontally so that the staff end actually hit the enemy. No ones gonna try to hit someone with a full vertical fan spin like the Thief one IRL, you mine as well just punch them at that point.

Silverbolt.2301:

Doggie.3184:

Zero Day.2594:

Um…
Is but-cape-less armor really in game?

Looks like new armor. Can’t get too excited though cuz it might have a butt-cape on male version.

False. That thief armour is already in the game. The chest piece was Krytan Jerkin, and the pants were Duelist Pants.

Yeah, so much difference between male and female that it can’t be recognized. It’s sad.

I was super happy to see the new staff AA animation~ the old combo animation made no sense.

Endless Soul.5178:

One of my first experiences with Silverwastes, I saw another player who was holding some rubble, throw the rubble brick at a Husk, which in turn knocked the Husk flat on its kitten.

I just about fell out of my chair from laughing.

Oh man, that reminds me. Long ago AC storyline had boulders randomly throughout the Dungeon~ still does now but they used to never despawn. They patched it at some point. But one day I kept a boulder with me and kept throwing it at everything knocking them flat on their face or into the distance and then all my other group members started doing the same thing.

So we went through the whole dungeon each with their own pet boulder and stoned both fodder and bosses to death, knocking them all over the place and were all literally dying of laughter from it. XD

Jaymee.1560:

2 years ago, seeing a male Sylvari wielding a Volcanus… lmao…

Mine wields Incinerator and he’s perfectly fine. His wood is moist~ wood doesn’t burn as easily as people think compared to other things. A Charr using fire weapons would be the most hazardous when their fur catches fire.

I miss Shiro whispering sadistic things in my ear, urging me to kill people. :<

Just a flesh wound.3589:

I saw a long ago video once where a commander leaped off a cliff in WvW and everyone in the zerg followed him. Then all the dead player icons at the bottom of the cliff…..

So many people lack map awareness.

Um, long ago I stopped at the edge of a cliff with commander tag on and a bunch of people ran past me and died.

Hopefully they release cat ears for Halloween.

Synosius.9876:

I agree the asymmetry bothers me but there is some precedent

Do I get the chest piece? ;o

Zodryn.4216:

Yes it does. If you walk out of the field or get feared, knocked back or pulled out of it you get 3s reveal. It’s a huge pain in dungeons when people don’t know how it works and rather than stealthing through a section they get revealed and die.

Read the anomalies section.

I’m talking about Sneak Gyro.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/its-the-final-countdown/

Thanks, now its stuck in my head. :x

No Keys. I enjoyed getting them without the need for RNG.
Sucks when you play a lot + have an unlucky account. Makes beating RNG even harder.

It doesn’t reveal you when you step out of it. c.c

I’d like it to be a flipover skill. Ranged Shadowstep Knockdown counter would be a big bonus though. =333

zerker with some soldier trinkets.

rennlc.7346:

Because you wanna spam your abilities, man. Ain’t nobody got time to wait for weapon skill CDs!

Rev CDs are super low though, they probably surpass our SB for AoE spam and they have spam versions of our Utilities and (a buffed version of) Basilisk Venom and so on. Def tempting cuz I wanna play GW1 Assassin and they been trying to remove that class from Thief. :[

Nah, he just doesn’t need you cuz all his test tubes are filled with your family and friends and there’s no room left for you to be their next experiment. :<

Aquabreathers should be cosmetic only and underwater should just use the stats of your helmet. :|

Wish I could dye my Wizard Hat. :W
