Guild Wars 2

Eh? 8/10 fights if you are down you are defeated in 1v1 , even big fights but anyway so why even bother to spam #1? only times you should do something is if your a necro (though that was nerfed) or they are also very low.

Even so, you had an ally thief with you on your team and you still spammed #1. I think you are the fool, everyone knows not to spam #1 when a Freindly thief is close.

And was is this about stealthing at the last second, what if he got stunned or rupted? The most annoying thing in pvp for me is not running from fights, afk on points but stupid pillocks mindlessly spamming #1 in down state even though I even called sr.

just a few i seen, not mine though

Seems a nice set up. Traveler runes were nice in the day, I see them used on guards and mesmers a lot though

This is my set up

Shadows embrace/hidden thief/shadows rejuvenation (phone dosnt show me the writings on the traits)

50% or even 70% crit chance you can still land a lot of crit back stabs. I prefer da line because it isn’t all about dmg, weakness on poison is pretty good defence and heal life steal from mug is nice too. Even panic strike has saved me.

Same, hate the dreamer now. Luckily I had an ascended bow before I got the dreamer so I will go back to use that again.

Dunno why they can’t leave stuff like this alone

Why did you change the audio file of the dreamer? The sound was bugged for ages and then it was “fixed” a few patches ago and now, it’s horrible. Sounds like a sped up sample of the unicorn finisher :-/
I preferred the audio clip before this patch 29/9/15

That’s really cool. I like the way you did the bow and them rainbows act as a nice background too

Will post the gold when I get home.

So its only people who play some kind of tanky/cele/bunker builds that don’t like this map?

Currently using sigil of blood and force on my d/p thief. Seems to work ok for me, I don’t think sigil of blood is for slow attacking weapons (staff/hammer)

What? Why would you even do that? Haven’t you got any hobbies you can get a long with instead of reporting childish or silly names?

I am a victim of this nonsense report names as i named my original norn male norn “fat disgrace” when I first started after beta but then deleted it and made it human. A year later some 1 reported this name for being offensive and a net forced me to change the char name, yet the account name is still here…. What’s even more pathetic is that I had this name for 7 years on gw1 and it was perfectly fine. I think people have nothing better to do and get kicks at reporting people

When in wvw and my party member who is a norn targets our commander “bring that 1 Down!”

what did the pirate say when he turned 80? “ay matey!”

Tbh, there’s kinda threads doesn’t help us at all. When a net see’s threads like this I wounder why they even do anything any more

Reading glasses, winter scarf, human t3 chest piece, sneak thief leggings, gloves? Most have no real pattens, and it looks like the foot ware are magitech or what ever the name is or scouts. Not much to see of them. But they are not boots, more like shoes

Serious Thought.5394:

“Thief is the class most beaten to a pulp.

I loled

Shortbow! Especially if you have the dreamer lol. Don’t remember the last time I ran double melee sets tbh, short bow is too good at what it does imo. It’s not just #5 but everything on the weapon has excellent skills.

Speaking of stinky warriors, I was on my zerker warrior last night and I 2 hit an enemy thief with a 3k shield bash and then a 10k evis. kinda made me sad :-/ (he 75% health)

after many dyes/armor combos. I always seem to go back to this combo, though i’d share some poses with the dreamer :p

Males look cool :p will do an update on mine when I get home (human fenale)

I don’t agree on CnD having blind at all, having a single skill that can blind/cursees vulnerability and stealth you is a bit much. but the trait shouldn’t be a gm for sure.

Downstate is fine, what’s annoying though rallying of random pve mobs. And some skills will become redundant like battle standard for example

Tabootrinket.2631:

I think it’s pretty clear what I was trying to achieve here xD
(ps: no I didn’t commit to it. Let’s say it’s the alternate version for the Guild Wars universe. Yes I’m aware the glorious skin would fit better)

Seen a dude in pvp once who looked very much like spiderman (asuming that’s what you are going for) he had sneak thief hat, glorious chest piece, forgot gloves and leggings and boots were rawhide I think.

I still think the sa tree is in a good spot, can be too good at times. Everything is perfect for team ay and solo. I mean the stealth res, -25% dmg in stealth, Condi removal in stealth too. It’s easy to troll with sa but it’s also easy to beat too.

May be d/d will become better once d/d is out dd/sa/trickery ?

Rain.9213:

Glad I play S/D where being revealed isn’t as bad xD Then again… I’m playing post patch S/D….

:x

I also play s/d a lot. And that’s good practice because i have learned how to survive with minalmal stealth, wich helped me a lot when I get stealth trapped, sic em, goggle thing when I play d/p.

What was so good about p/p? The only time I seen unload to be of any use is probably through feilds and that’s about it. Can any 1 explain the hype over p/p?

I am not going to talk much about the trait lines but some 1 said about 5 stacks of blind
I would be very careful here. Playing with blind stacks will be very dangerous thing to implant to the game. #5 pistol is still ‘perma’ blind some people say.

laquito.5269:

It’s an absolulte Nobrainer to pick SA, because it offers so much passive kitten and is just overall so much better than the other traitlines:
- Passive stealth on rez + increased rez speed
- Passive condi cleanse in stealth
- Passive Stealth increasement (1s)
- Stealth on steal
- Reduced damage in stealth
- HEALING in stealth
.

Some people see passive differently then others, for example I see passive play like panic strike, defy pain, vamp runes, spinal shivers. Stuff does things for you by it self with no activation button. Most of what you have said here still requires an active control. The only 2 things I see as passive is minus dmg in stealth and healing in stealth but even then we have no last refugee (passive) so we still actively go in stealth and can still be interuped, yeah even running up to a freind and pressing [f] to res is still more active then vamp runes.

We all know that. I was on about removing it though. Can be annoying when trying to land a hard hit only to miss, enemy sees the white writing where I am.

Tbh I like SE as it is now and see it as a ‘buff’ especially fighting Condi builds. I would rather remove dmg conditions and day over things like cripple/imbo/chill as things like infiltrations arrow and shadow steps or any type of ‘teleport’ skill will ignore them conditions and with draw clears them. Although I would like seme way to remove weakness as the only way is via trickster or shadow return. Infiltrations return still needs to be used twice to remove weakness wich I don’t understand. Blindness meh.

Tbh I think giving up short bow for the fighting side of this argument would be the way. Sb is so kitten good at what is does I feel pepole don’t want to give up for that reason. D/p and possible s/d should be more then enough to 1v1 people.

The whole idea of this +1 role comes down to the amount of time us thievs have been relying on the short bow, and for good reasons too it’s too good of a utity weapon to give up which leaves just weapon set. Which is either d/x burst Down weapon that lacks any deuling ability on point as it relys too much on stealth or s/d that can’t burst for kitten but Is a good at dueling (cs trait line can make it hurt a bit though)

Moan all you like but our class wasn’t designed to jump in a brawl other wise we would get protection and invuls like most other class’s.

If its a real dual or 2 people going at it, I never join In 1vs1 fights and it dosnt matter where they are. I have dual ed many at camps with no stomp. Most get up and bow then go on their way (to another camp or where ever. Not fussed as long as it’s not my camp) but you get the odd stubborn sod that will try again strait away even before healing them self’s up.

I don’t see why people need to interupt duals out side keeps. They are not hurting them are they lol? But directly out side a gate then they are expected to get beaten up.

Only times people are asking for trouble is close to gstes, camps or dolly paths in my opinion.

We can’t even gank or go for other solo people at times. This beta weekend I was moaned at by a enemy ranger for not helping my team, because I was harassing him on his treb and fighting/killing people at the supply camp (champions dusk was the map) I thought I was doing the right thing, keeping out of too much aoe, picking my fights and slowing people down.

And about having the most mobilty and being able to 1v1 in the same build, well d/d ele can do that but granted, they are not as mobile as a thief.

the fk? where’s the salt!

Sounds like dire death blossom spam and panic strike proct. But I could be wrong as I don’t play Condi. Never seen a p/d thief get 20 stacks. Dunno about ‘fun’ looks amusing for an hour or so.

Never heard of him? I bought gw2 because I played gw1.

hey, thought i’d send you this pic of my thief. could you sketch this 1?

reddie.5861:

Sword pistol doesnt work because what u got? 3 useless skill 4 useless skill 5 useless skill

all these skills dont go with sword unless u wanna pistol whip in PvP be my guest on gettin wrecked on first person that dodges

What? #3 it erupt massive dmg and evade, Down side is it roots you and a long wind up

1. on demand interupt
2. smoke feild wich can be used in defence and offence.

Very useless indeed. And just because it is not meta it dosnt mean it dosnt work because it does still kill people, good or bad people.

I dunno why they ‘removed it’ and tbh I never understood the hype with p/p. I played it sure but never spent long on it as I found it very boring spammig #3 as therr was nothing really worth using on the rest of the set, #3 through the smoke feilds or any feild is pretty cool though. Not to mentiom that short bow does enough dmg to tag pve things and it’s far superior in pvp then p/p (that’s if you was going to use it over sb)

Hmm. The dreamer is the only legendry I ever wanted and it still is. Have it for my thief and Condi ranger, thief is female so that’s ok I guess but I equally have no shame using it on my biggst fattest male norn ranger too loL.

Don’t care for quip at all, it’s funny for about 3 rounds of upload using 2 quips but that’s about it.

I will have to see how other DD will look with the biros before I commit in buying it.

Nephrite.6954:

You guys are so lame lol I wanna experience the satisfaction of interrupting Shelter. Still stand for it!

You can in a way. Baslisk venom and choking gas lol

Agemnon.4608:

I like this dye combo but it could be better. I switched out shadow abyss for blood, lemonade, emerald, sapphire, and indigo.

Looks like you have a motocross helmet on!

That is the most preposterous idea I have ever seen requested on this forum. Head shot is very powerful as it is already in the right hands. The whole d/p or even x/p alone is in a good spot.

:-/

Last year my account was baneed due to an offensive name of 1 of my characters (yes it was the same as my account name) is there a way to change my main account name? I had this name since gw1 wich was 7 years old nearly but I would like this changed now as my char name is banned.

Nice 1. At work atm so I will accept when I get home

Add me to the guild too guys. Will join in on the convo aswell

Friends have also been complaining lack of Ecton from salvage rare items. I too gave up on that and all of the rares I get now go strait in the mystic forge. After getting fully ascended on my 2 mains + the dreamer for my thief (best legendry I may add) I have no real reason to farm ectos and I have enough gold farming bosses and wvw to keep my food and stone supplys up. I have got 3 precursor this year alone dumping rares in the forge.

Terrorsquad.4802:

Players should not be able to kill in PvP pls, too strong.

Denied don’t be mean! >(

I am cerial about this.

Why pk?

A thief can hard counter a mesmer ONLY where as a mes can counter nearly everything else (except a thief) . A thief is and always will be a mesmers biggest threat…Bla Bla, we all know this.

As a thief main my self, mesmers still beat me but after doing more and more I am starting to get better at fighting them. Power mesmers can spike me for sure but the Condi version is a very hard 1 to take out.

I don’t see many mesmers that run staff sw/p, it’s mainly gs sw/t. Anyway the gs is pretty nasty for us, it’s all about dmg dmg and more dmg. But what all I can say is keep your distance and watch for d/p #3 it’s slow and can be dodged and cost 4 iniative. Most thievs take the trickery line so we have 15 and the #5 #2 cost us 8 I native, getting the rupt on hs it’s pretty bad for us as with out iniative we can’t really do much.

Not really gonna say much about pu Condi, that build can beat most things.

About vamp runes in pvp, I never really understood them. I rarely play ranked pvp but even so when ever I see that vamp rune has proct I just count 2 1 and hs half second after or head shot. The only time I have seen it work is in proper organised teams and I don’t just mean guild teams.

Also he probably took no quarter instead of hidden killer and got lucky. Mind you he could of even used sigil of intelegance.

What do you have in mind?

PM sent with build inside.

Thanks man, will have a look at it
