Guild Wars 2

LOL team i was making that same post…

Ark – I agree with you for what it’s worth. For as long as I can think of, WvW was not meant to be “balanced” to begin with. CUT

I keep seeing this statement, over and over again. So if Wvw isn’t suppose to be balanced, i would like a.net to Un nerf thieves mesmers and eles.

Shaving 1 boon off of larcenous strike will only cause two things:

S/d thieves will completely ignore boon guardians, boon eles (This should already be proven, since it was the main reason you added the second boon removal)

and 2:
you will see a drastic increase of s/d thiefs spamming 3 (we have to to clear there boons or we hold no hope of winning), honestly i pre-load Larcenous strike and infiltrators strike onto them 9/10 times it misses (the animation is so slow, they simply keep walking)

If your really serious about removing the second boon (really think you shouldn’t)
then you should speed up the animation of larcenous strike a tad bit. maybe even set it so regeneration is the very first boon removed.

I think most people would agree it needs some type of movement skill. Maybe give head shot a short evasive backward roll (Keep the range in line with Axe Leap)

Hold-out Pistol
Fire a hidden pistol, catching your opponent by surprise, while you perform an evasive roll backwards.
Performs a withdraw-style backroll, but shorter, plus the daze shot.

For balance/interesting purposes, perhaps give it a temporary second attack, similar to how Flanking Strike/Larcenous Strike works, reflecting whatever contingency shot you loaded into the second barrel of your Tyrian Derringer.

That would be great. and 2x easier to balance then my idea

They Need to be careful what they do with the damage from larcenous strike. The only reason s/d didn’t turn into a lemon with the change to steal was because they migrated the damage to larcenous strike. Of course this caused another problem. S/d is forced to spam 3. since we get boon removal, 1/2 second evasion and the extra damage (that you need to kill most bunkers,evasion spec, heal spec) off of one ability.

Another problem is They have nowhere to put the extra dmg that s.d needs. they can’t put it on infiltrators strike (high damage gap closer would be op) the mechanics of gw2 won’t allow for it to be on dancing dagger (if the first dagger crits they all do)
and cnd.. well if they put the damage back on it d/d would rain supreme again

A.net is kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place right now.

Flanking Strike Gives you perma dodge.

It’s Really a shame that S/d never caught on before they added larcenous strike. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t a perma dodge back then either (3/4 second evade. 1 second animation) but it was alot more efficient for dodging then it is now.

Fields of ruin, the strong hold of ebonhawk.
go north from the east Wp and you will see 3 vendors. since they all sell the same skin your better of buying the cheap on and using a transmute stone on it and an exotic.

I just can’t decide….
Which one should i buy.

(After you figure it out, factor in how long it would take you to get the karma vs gears)

oh has are kitten ing match started already…

I would love to see gom fight an over populated sever, its been so long. good times

I vaguely remember it being set for reveal on block, then A.net changed it for the better.
So suck it up buttercup. its not are fault you want to stand still and expect to win.
Next Thieve complaint: “Thieves walk on two legs, clearly op. nerf needed”

I’m almost positive that the recipe calls for lvl 72-80 rares/exotics.

Ah AR, we used to have a nice rivalry going back in the day. good to see you again.

You guys shouldn’t worry about falling more tiers. from what i seen last night you have decent numbers. you fit in somewhere between Dh/Nsp/Gom. And even if you do fall you will beat all the other servers (though Sf should give you a decent fight during the weekend) Chances are we will be seeing alot of each other.

I hate the new cluster shot. it completly changed my opening combo of cluster shot. inf strike Fs steal ect ect. 300 range is a huge diffrence. that combo simply does not work anymore. and since we lost 300 range the arc on cluster shot has changed. so instead of shooting over the lip in the wall. we get to hit it. from the wall we got the same range as burning oil. does that make sense to any of you?

Hah im Na sorry, but i have raced warriors before and won. Honestly warriors are pretty quick, but with the random mobs all over the map (that thieves can step too) makes them a bit slower. Alot of thieves wont chase warriors though, simply due to the fact that when you catch them you’ve blown through half your initiative and your utilities
fighting warriors with 1 spam never works

I really can’t see how you guys think warrior is faster. it ain’t even close. seaweed + swiftness trait almost gives perma swiftness. or like that other fellow said 50% ms in stealth.
that leaves warriors bull rush and there 2 great sword skills. while thieve still has shortbow #5, and steal, also shadow step from signet and the normal shadow step.
Since im also rolling S/d in offhand i get yet another Shadow step via infiltrators strike

How much money do you have? to be able to buy a chaos gun and smakitten with no pause. And to send Taco the remains, your my new hero
Must be nice, i can’t even afford to fix the gaint hole in the back of my order of whispers dress/coat

—Cut—
Should we talk about the list of bugged/useless mesmer ability’s? You’ll get your list x5 then.

Give back your damage and mobility? There’s no class that has higher or even comes close to the ability of the thief. Escaping as thief is already easy enough, and you want to be able to port on every single hill? Give back what damage? the 15-20k backstabs and 6-8k heartseekers? Please, no.
[/quote]

It wasn’t every single hill. it was certain places you could walk too. and only if you had the right angle. (Mesmers Could also port btw ) that was a good thing it keep some thieves from spamming stealth while using initiative.
The damage on pistol whip, unload, Repeater, The ones that where nerf’d because of haste….
Mesmers do have a counter for shadow return btw. its stun/daze/interrupt (can’t remember which one atm) which forces a cancel on shadow return…

Thieves are broken for the most part. They Reduced the dmg on so many skills because of haste and never bothered to fix them after they changed haste.
Then they broke the pathing on shadow steps. (example: you could ALWAYs Infi arrow up the ruin island wall since release [now you can’t] the same goes for all those ramps on the borderlands.
shadow return used to be bugged for 2500 return. now that may sound OP, but when you jump into a zerg, dagger storm and then return. The Leading people of that zerg are all in range to use a fast travel ability. (seen it thousands of times)

Now the only place i think thieves are stacked is the trait line Shadow arts. That cheesy line is what you all should be complaining about. extra stealth time, heal in stealth clear conditions in stealth, while giving you Toughness and +healing.
Bad choice to put them all in one line.
Give us back are damage and mobility, and take away thieves ability to heal while in stealth. you would hear less whining.

No other server has aloud us to get every poi / map completion BUT i do remember yaks having us spawn camped, they backed off and let us take a tower, recaped it and backed off again.

Also replace “gunslinger thief” and “black sylvari mesmer” with “S/d Thief” or you can duel my lvl 10 duel axe kick warrior

well according to http://mos.millenium.org/na/
Gom is getting deleted

I wouldn’t Complain if they only had stats on one Orb, I’m Sure most people would still try to take the 2nd and 3rd orb to prevent there enemy servers from getting the Bonus.
I always liked the “Orb defense” or “Rush for the Orb” at reset. It really is a shame that Hackers got them removed.

^So that’s what it was, was wondering why It never seem to work today.

This isn’t the first time the range has been “Bugged” ive seen the tooltip read 900 before and nothing written on the patch notes. then the next day 1200. and the next it was “broke”(i figured they found where they wanted it to be hah how wrong i was) You could get 1 full range 2, switch to SB then 2 #5. Anything more and it reset and/or you ran out of time.

oh +5 to stats 2 that ain’t to bad

Why wouldn’t they make it +1% dmg vs Players, sound Op?
+1% defense vs players… cancels it out.

^The thief is baiting you so you blow your Cds. chances are your a bunker and he ain’t S/d was he… sorry they have to do that else there is no hope in hell of them winning.

So i went with withdraw, needle trap, caltrops, thieves guild and ambush. i managed to kill a sentry, but thats it. Nsp was nice enough to let me duel one of there lowbies that was entertaining i near had him beat when one of there thieves hit me for 16k . not a very productive night but a fun one.

Hm running out of crazy builds to use. Broke out the single sword single dagger last night. hilarious , any suggestions for tonight

No weapons, no armour. You can only use utilities, tonics, food and stake.

Hah. hold still while i scorpion wire you to death

hah p/d works really well with s/d, If only they put aoe on pistols i would be sold

They need to set a limit on how many times you can rally. 1 time is enough. 5 is to much.
I can’t even count how many times ive set up seige in camps downed partys only to have them all target one guard and rally (no you don’t have enough time to spike or attack them to death)
I can’t see them removing down state (sadly) but they should at least lower the amount of rallys you get.

People have been asking for a new map since beta. honestly click on the last page of this forum and you will see people asking for maps. They have had plenty of time to work on one, but there is no money in it for them so i doubt they even started yet.
They should create a new borderlands map cloned 3x and a new Eb. then every week switch between the new map and the old one. this would prevent the new map from getting stale. it also gives the A.net team 1 week per cycle to fix bugs/unbalanced issues, its much cheaper for them to clone the “new borderlands” and with the Wvw players testing it they wouldn’t have to spend more money on Testers. its a win win.

nice, didn’t even know they made em with that many hah

Simple question. how many buttons on your mouse. most of these “pro players” use a 4-8 button mouse, bind there utilities and away you go.
I’ll stick with my 3 button mouse though. i can’t validate paying $60+ for one but you might want to.

I’ve ran across that anti spike bug a few times. it happens when they are not on level ground (hills, steps ect) its been around for awhile, i don’t think its a hack. i think the servers are just buggy atm.

You did what you guys had to do, that’s a good thing, now we have a close 3 way death match instead of 2 people fighting for first. the more action the better!

Spca and bsty just want to thank you for the chuckle last night. was watching them fight on the bridge only to see them stop mid fight and part to the side to let our doyak pass.

Be careful gom gets viscous when you make us angry

I think the lower tiers adapt quicker.
other then that i don’t really see much diffrence. i like the lower tiers simply cause i get a choice when i log in. do i want to be a zergling?, go solo?, or run with the guild. there all viable down here.

Set a catapult on the wall game over.

Anyone got the Score?

I miss FS this new thing is horrible can’t evade with this… 4s Cd. or spam 3 2 times. either way your dead.

What kinda of damage do they do now?

They used to hit for 5000 a tick. good times. I never Agreed with that nerf to begin with.
in my opinion it was the start of zerg wars.

so your saying there was no defenders. kitten your winning the Pvd now

Dear Nsp, you do realize we only had 5 defenders on hills when u attacked with 7+ golems and 20+ people. you started this door contest we ended it. yours truly.

I can’t see Fs being a channeled ability, you sure they just didn’t tack the boon steal onto the second strike?

i reserve opinion on mug. at first glance it seems like a bad idea simply for the fact that if your mug doesn’t crit where does that leave swirl, throw gunk, and all the other abilities you mug.

it’s looking like where getting out of t8 today.
Good luck to Fc and Et this upcoming week.

don’t worry gom already knows how to get out of t8, create threads for 2months straight and Bam your out

And no i am not serious. or am i…?

when i see agg i just take 3 steps to the right. watch them run on by. if only i had a red sheet…

hmm to log on or not to log on…
