Guild Wars 2

Do they or are they volunteers?

blinding powder > shadow refuge. Sure, SR last’s longer but it has a longer CD and it shows everyone who’s looking where you are trying to hide. Withdraw + Blinding powder = wtf where did that thief go?

that’s not true because i personally stack stealth on myself for 15 seconds. It’s possible to stay in stealth permanently, out of combat, i do it all day every day. One thief alone can do it, no need for two.

67% crit rate “glass cannon” (in other games we call them DPS heroes) thief spec’d into stealth to clean conditions and heal myself with a super high crit rate up to 87% with fury, and omnomberry ghosts/signet of malice to heal constantly. Use dagger/dagger of course cuz i’m a thief and they do the best dps in the game with a shortbow in offhand to do massive PBAOE and ranged attacks for when they’re needed.. Pistol thieves go home, your dps sucks. blinding powder, ambush trap (or haste or smoke screen depending on where I am) and shadow refuge for traits. because someone always needs me to rez them. spinning ult is best for PvE. haste+spin+shortbow clusterbombs.

OP what about you?

Hi guys!
And how can i reach Orr?

Follow the story.

and use your good eyes.

If this thief was like me he was built for spec and only has 12,025hp like I do. Bring me down to 50% hp and I have 6k hp. My heal does 4k something.. there you go, from 50% to full life in one heal. Hammer is such low dps. Try a greatsword.

this dude above me is right, those clones are a bigger pain than the actual mesmer. Best thing to do is play spvp for a little bit till you learn the mesmers. It really helps to CTRL+T them. Also if they have a title, Green arrow or world completion star their clones don’t share it with them and u can easily see who is the real mesmer. Also cloak an dagger before every stomp every time on every class.

ensoriki.5789:

Have a feeling they’re going to do something to mug, change it to master or nerf it

please no, please please no.

My thief, Scribin the Scribe, is an Asura who searches the world for lost knowledge, no matter where it may be forgotten at. He mastered the art of sneaking as a youth, taking peeks at designs and notes from Krewes and Council members around Rata Sum. As he grew older he started braving into more and more dangerous places to retrieve more and more knowledge. Sometimes these dangerous places required him to defend himself. Wielding two daggers gave him the advantage of swiftness and total silence and not only that but also free’d up his small composure to carry more of the scrolls and tomes he covets.

But of course this was all long ago. No one knows what has happened to the curious and compassionate Scribin. Rumor and whispers speak of the shadow of a “goblin” that wanders the mists, cutting down would be heroes and villains alike without sight. Of course there is no proof in these claims, no one living has seen this “Assassin” all that’s been heard is the clanking of bones, the wind and the stillness of death.

Would be cool if we could type in a personal biography for our characters for other people to read, like in the original Everquest.

sachiel.8051:

So, let’s use our story-telling imagination here: You’re bleeding like a stuck pig and turn yourself invisible. Does the blood that hits the ground and separates from you remain invisible? How about your vomit from the poisoning? What about the fire burning your invisible body?

Let’s put on our imagination hats again. I just stabbed you in the back with a big sharp knife… Your spinal cord was just severed in two parts, you can’t move your arms, you collapse in a heap because your legs and your brain can’t communicate anymore. You’re dead.

If you want it to be like TF2 Where you can see a thief on fire then thieves will get the ability to 1 shot you.

I was just about to make a post about how amazing Technobabble is for my high burst damage thief in WvW. Cloak and Dagger, Backstab, TECHNOBABBLE, stab stab, Basilisk Venom, Headshot!!! I WIN!!!

LOL I was a human thief in beta and Asura thief since launch.. I never noticed this before lol..

I think I saw this on someone’s “Big Dog” T-shirt before.. It said If you’re not the leader of the pack then the view is always the same and had a picture of a bunch of dog butt’s.

This applies to you, original poster.

Trahearne was boring. He literally makes me sleepy when I hear him speak. I skip every bit of his dialogue when I make an alt. I didn’t tell my friends how much I despised Trahearne so that I wouldn’t spoil their good time. But I do despise him. So boring.

There’s a diminishing return on events the more you complete them. The people grinding the same events aren’t leveling as quickly as someone else who’s exploring new events and areas.

moving the camera up and down would be AWESOME. my friend who plays a charr uses his Mini Golem tonic all the time because it puts the camera in a position where he can actually see the details on other people’s characters.

They have this in Tera. The feature allows any number of duelers from 1-8 per team If I remember correctly. It was exhilarating with gold on the line.. like pogs, but with swords!

This is a great idea!

As someone who has to fight against guardians and doesn’t play as one I would be pretty kitten if Aegis granted a block AND regeneration OR protection. Thumbs up for the Everquest reference with blind turning your screen black. Blind is crazy OP in Pve, I hardly use it in WvW ever but it’s easy to cheese NPCs with blind.

I’m trying to find people to run a dungeon.

I type in map chat " LFM for X Dungeon. "

A few minutes later I hold shift and press up to send the same message again.

FIVE MINUTES LATER (after being AFK on gw2LFG.com)

I try to send the same message but cannot.

My message was suppressed due to excessive messaging.

So now I’m playing this social online game but can’t talk to anyone? Because I was trying to lead a group? REALLY?

I’m an Asura d/d + d/p thief. P/P thieves are really easy to stop. As an Asuran thief I use my racial Technobabble on them.. best racial in game (for me and my burst dmg). This stops them for 2 seconds. I also have my pistol which grants headshots and my elite is Basilisk Venom.

The other night before I started using Technobabble exclusively I was using haste and still never had a problem with p/p thieves without the extra interrupt, I even won a 1v2 against two p/p thieves. You have to read their body language see which way they’re going to try to dodge and keep attacking.

I’m a fire staff ele. I do big damage, all AoE at 1200yd. I wear knights/berserker/valkyrie. Toughness is my 2nd highest stat, I have 1600hp. I use the skills “Signet of Water” and “Signet of Earth” with a “Conjured Fiery Greatsword” in wvw. Having an instant immobilize and chill is wonderful. Fiery greatsword has two escape mechanisms built into it. #4 and #3 but who wants to escape anyways? That sword cuts through people fast as kittens.

I also have mistform as an Oh Kittens button. But… been considering dropping it lately for Arcane Blast which is fun cuz it hit’s for 3k on my toon at 1500yds and has a very short cool down. Like icing on a cake.

Staff is crowd control specialist. When you see the zerg coming towards your allies you can stop or kill them to protect the ones you love. Static Field to Frozen Ground to Unsteady Ground to Shockwave. Now all the ducks are lined up for some good ole fashion AoE damage. Pesky thief snuck up on you? Burning Retreat to fiery greatsword. Thieves hate fiery greatsword. They say QQ I am stealth but your fiery greatsword is still destroying me. When he pops out of his invis use your signets on him now it takes him 66% longer to use his skills and he is stuck in place for 5 seconds. Don’t let him get in melee range or he can invis again with cloak and dagger.

Warriors are easiest to kill. Rifle warrior, zzz, magnetic aura good bye rifle warrior. Greatsword, Zzz, swap to water to cure immobilize or use mistform.

Guardian, I don’t know. just auto attack them, they suck.

Engie, most engie don’t know how to play well so they die easier than thief (which was easy if you remember) Magnetic Aura reflects grenades as well as bullets and nets.

Necro, burst damage this guy and watch your HP. He can’t dish it out faster than you.

Ranger, magnetic aura.. So funny.

Mesmer. Signet him and AoE. Heal yourself. Fire Staff Ele > Mesmer

Other Ele’s : Can be very interesting. Usually my better opponents are other ele’s. kitten magnetic aura.. that thing hurts.

I leveld with a staff out of pure vanity. My GOBLIN (asura) WIZARD (elementalist) is a beast with his staff. Summon lesser elemental earth and you get a pocket tank, when you get elite elementals you get an amazing tank and your little pocket tank. Glyph of Earth and Glyph of water are awesome too for keeping people away from you.

I built my traits all in FIRE FIRE FIRE!!! (and the arcane skill that makes your staff attacks have a larger aoe radius) and the handy water trait that cures conditions when you attune to water.

and yea, play with combos. you can drop earth#2 into a water#5 for a big ole heal on everyone around it.

Engie is a lot like ele. kits are just like attunements. A lot of the trait lines are even similar. I play both but prefer elementalist cuz i am a wizard type of guy.

but don’t listen to the advice on how to make your engie. they can be made into tanks, dps or support. my engie is a tank/healer. he never dies. a thief can run away sure, my engie calmly walks to where he wants to go and moves everyone out of his way.

Please, I can barely even bring myself to play my toon looking the way he does.

I’ll show you but only if it gains sympathy for my cause.

Hi. I just used a total make over kit and my guy came out totally different from what I thought he was going to look like. I am really un happy with my characters appearance now. Is there any chance to get another make over kit ? He looks horrible. It was 6 gold I don’t have 6 more gold, please help.

AlfredKlios.9657:

As post name says, Sigil of Superior energy is not giving any endurance on weapon swap while in combat.

Already made sure that it wasn’t the 9 second internal CD i was seeing.

doesn’t work for engineers because engineers dont have weapon swap. wish i knew this before i spent the gold to buy the rune.

My suggestion is to turn Med Kits into Christmas Presents during the holidays.

Lol I love prybar!

you can turn off ground targeting in the option menu which may help you throw grenades while running. I always say grenades are for noobs, run with the bomb kit and elixir gun!

LOL that’s funny, it is a lot like an ele… my other favorite class :P Poor ele’s have to wait 10 seconds after swapping tho to swap back. Switching between kits is a joy with the mouse I have called the “naga razer” which i whole heartily recommend to anyone who wants to PvP in an MMO

my favorite combo is acid bomb to net shot as fast as you can, try it out you will see.

I crank out a lot of DPS but it’s all pbaoe. fire bomb with a jump shot gives fire aura throw wrench thru and u put burning on them concussion bomb then pry bar puts 8 stacks of confusion on them blunderbuss 3 bleeding stacks, acid bomb does between 500-600 a tick, switching to toolkit drops more bleeding and cripple by that time blunderbuss is up again. drop supply crate on their head when they get low and jumpshot again swap to toolkit and prybar them again. that thief is so dead by then. net shot glue bomb and magnet to keep him next to you and big ole bomb / overcharged shot to push him away. elixir gun drops super elixir then u shoot another super elixir then u use healing mist acid bomb fumigate blunderbuss firebomb jumpshot wrench etc etc if things get sticky, super elixir and gear shield dont forget we havent used bandage self yet or our medkits/antidotes we can drop

dont forget to /dance after ur done

btw i put the quote on bottom cuz it was cluttering the point i was trying to make but i guess u taught me something new today thanks

also if you’re with a buddy who cast’s a lot of bleeds or poison with elixir gun u can help him get the stacks up higher which not only puts your bleed damage on the target but increases the damage your friend’s bleeds/poison will do too

This is a picture of me sitting next to my build. Cleric/cleric exotics with superior rune of dolyak. rifle, bomb kit, elixir gun, tool kit, supply crate. Don’t go showing off with this build, I don’t want it to get nerfed.

Grab the White Arrows in the corner of the window and drag it to the spot you want and then hold the mouse button down until the window moves to that spot. If that doesn’t work grab the grey rectangle in the side of the mini map and drag that.

I’m taking time out of my life to help you guys with bug reports, glitches and whatever else I find. I don’t want any praise or credit, just the game to work as envisioned.

I posted this 2 months ago and it’s still a bug in the game.

While on my engineer now with the trait “Cloaking Device” If i’m harvesting Orichalcum and a monster triggers the stealth trait all the ore I try to collect becomes “Ruined Ore” While using Orichalcum mining picks.

This would be so easy to put in the game it’s a little ridiculous that it isn’t.

a sigil with no use? this is madness..

Agreed, remove those pesky bugs. They are very distracting and are just more CPU to process when there’s plenty to load already!

When will the colorblind get an official response from Anet?

tigirius.9014:

Meh if it removed conds we would have a useful trait :P

an elixir gun excels at removing conditions.

I own 2-3 thieves at the same time and mesmers always give up and run away.

You say complain to Anet cuz u’ve done all you can. Obviously you overlooked something.

Cribbage.2056:

I’d say you have the right idea on playstyle and it’s more your spec you need to tweak.

For the thieves you are going to need a better escape. I personally favour Elixir S, even in non-elixir builds because you can use your kits with it and it buys a decent amount of time in which the thief cannot HS spam you. Some people prefer rocket boots or utility goggles. By using your escape at the right time, keeping him at bay with Overcharge and Net, you should stand a chance. It will always be hard though, so don’t expect to get comfortable with thieves.

Mesmers are even worse. Ideally to take on a mesmer, you need heavy condition clearing as well as AoE. Even then they are OP in my opinion. With a nade build, you are not going to get much condition clearing. However, you can get better AoE. I’d suggest you swap radiation field to Bomb Kit and your heal to Healing Turret. Make sure your power traits include larger explosion area for bombs. Now you have bombs, grenades and healing turret (when you explode it) all doing AoE. This should keep the mesmer’s clone population down a bit whilst allowing you to DPS him. Usually the Mesmer will win, but you need to talk to Anet about that because at that stage you’ve done what you can.

Not same level, same gear or same skilled thieves you are not. As a matter of fact, in wvwvw you wont take down 1 thief.

maybe you can’t but I don’t lie. I’ll kill two thieves at the same time. Even three. I’ll kill a thief with a mesmer partner who jumped me from behind while i was making toast downstairs. I face tank the supervisor at the camps with her stupid buff. I am a terror on the battlefield, bull dozing through the front lines and clearing the path for you and the other squishies. If you doubt it come on over to Jade Quarry and see for yourself.

What are you talking about? At what point did I ever complain to Anet or say complain to them? I specifically posted in this sub-forum because I am looking for help as my very first line states in the OP as well as my last few questions at the end of my post. Please read more carefully if you so that in the future you do not make posts regarding something that was ever insinuated in any manner, shape, or form.

My favorite part about this is when you tell me to read more carefully. I didn’t realize you responded to the named “Cribbage.2056” as well as the name RoChan.1926"

This isn’t as much of a bug report as it is an angry rant, threat and demand.

Post here fellow engineers. Together we can get our traits fixed.

Swap out grenades for bombs, spec into healing, grab an elixir gun, equip your Gear Shield and go kitten some fools up

The guild backpack costs 5gold
“Spineguard of the (soldier)” costs 5silver

both have the same stats

PWNcakesAndROFLs.8263:

Yes, you can. There are several types of back-equipped items that you can find on the Trading Post. Also available is the guild backpack which can be purchased through your guild armorer, if applicable. Ah, and you can get some through your personal story line as well (not untill lvl 70+ though).
