Alrik Vas.3507:

Yeah, fixing the problem sections of our class would be great, but there are a crap ton of threads devoted to that already. :P

And yet, we’re still in the same state

Anything is viable in Pve imo.. I’ll run anything at least once.

babazhook.6805:

A question that is unanswered but can have a great impact on the making of this skill .

Will the venomshare allow allies to proc skills accrued through runes that trigger “on heal”?

If a person wears runes of Grenth and has this venom as their heal, do 5 others suddenly burst a chill?

Imagine five others burning all nearby enemies when one wears runes of Balthazar?

If it doesnt activate with antitoxin/regen/water fields/ Healing spring (which im not sure if it does or doesnt) then I dont think it would on venoms

stof.9341:

It refills your allies endurance bar too. It is a very good skill.

Really? Wow I might have to slot it again then.

I might run it in pve for a bit, just because

Imagi.4561:

So, if I understand this correctly, it heals for the same amount as Withdraw overall, but it’s split into 5 small heals…and has a 45 second cooldown?

Wow
So venom
Such heal
Many interesting

Wow

This whole situation overall is hilarious to me, (and I can only hope that it wont be as bad as we think), but I cant stop laughing at that dog lol

ronpierce.2760:

Stop complaining things that aren’t equal (balanced) gets nerfed. You’d kitten just as much if there was a huge power creep (already happening). You win some, you lose some. But you live. You live to fight another day!

You think you’re a man with that keyboard in your hand don’t you?

ryan.6217:

meh, while we are talking about it, i dont like how our shortbow isn’t consistent. Sometimes we shoot hunched, and sometimes upright, even when standing still. Not an issue or anything, just something that i dont find too aesthetic

..isn’t that Warrior longbow?

Nah im fairly sure your character changes stances while shooting shortbow, from a more crouched one to one that’s upright.

Junkpile.7439:

I remember when i played counter strike beta and 1.6 and never got any skins or rewards.

Sounds like fun

lunyboy.8672:

Less than 50 hours on my thief, I can fight 3v1, disengage, re-engage and stomp 2 of my opponents. The third gets away into a keep, so I fight the guards. One of the guards uses blind on me (blind OP) and I can’t hit 2 fast enough, so I stealth away.

I have fought many, many people, and won so many fights I should have lost through sheer silly mechanics I can’t even believe it.

Signed,
Worst Thief, NA.

Make a video, I wanna see this

Cheers.8946:

Profit is the KEY.

Anet get real money from PvE players, that’s why they focus deeply on PvE now.

If someone can come up an idea for them to generate Profit from PvPers, I can ensure you the world will change overnight.

Unless they don’t implement it..

NevirSayDie.6235:

come on it aint even spvp which is getting updated

Loll

Dat misquote

Hahaha guess I need to post more

NevirSayDie.6235:

come on it aint even spvp which is getting updated

Loll

Should try the spvp forum, don’t think you’ll get much recognition here unless its from other players.

He walked through the aoe like it was nothing!!!

Peow peow.2189:

I saw one if the best spvp thiefs playing warrior the other day was surprised.
But thiefs get hit one way or another each latch, I’m out if this game until they actually do fair balances. Enjoy the condi spam meta

Sad but true. I’m waiting for my eso beta invite then it’s another 30gigs free on my ssd.

i can’t really say anything because of certain circumstances other than….you’ll be as disappointed in elder scrolls as you were with gw2

wildstar on the other hand is lookin pretty legit

Yeah im not really feeling eso, I didnt check out much on wildstar though.

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

Working under a incompetent Management will stop you, my friend . . .

LMAO, the fact that you said it right after his inspirational speech was priceless

Grene Jello.4651:

Is this a bug, or intended?

I sincerely hope its a bug as the latter is, well, just bad. A PVE reward for PvP activity!?!

Anet you can do better than that, or at least…. I used to think that.

Es intended, theyre working on a new reward system but im not sure when its gonna be implemented, I think its very soon though. It was kinda hilarious to me doing tpvp for the first time in forever and getting some candy corn for second place lol.

Excalibur.9748:

Well, that’s if anyone would be stupid enough to run sword mainhand after these proposed changes

We’ve all said it, sword is dead after this patch. The only people who don’t think so are the devs…and people who don’t play thieves.

The devs don’t seem to play thief

kitten I hate to complain but it just keeps getting worse

infantrydiv.1620:

Thieves have lousy sustain, lousy burst and lousy DPS in general compared to a number of classes.

I’d say they actually RELY on getting an initial advantage to be able win a fight. As much as you whine and complain Fortus, Arenanet isn’t going to nerf backstab.

I’m not so sure anymore.

Karolis.4261:

I think this video will bring some more thief nerfs.
Q.: But why??? its a warrior video !!!
A.: Exactly.

Had to log in, you made my day

Does these change increase build diversity in any way? I never ran opportunist or any init recovery traits but I would still have to go into critical strikes for damage.

I hate to say it but im gonna have to agree, its frustrating, I feel like im not doing anything but ress people and stealthing the group past some stuff we dont feel like fighting, and even then they can still just run through it if im not there with the group. Picking this class as my main and only 80 was a mistake it seems.. Im useless in TA in the room with the spiders because I cant reach what we’re supposed to be attacking without aggroing half the room.

Viith.2805:

I actually rolled a warrior about a month ago. He’s at level 57 right now….and I think I’m done. Same thing happened with Guardian, got him to level 55. Both classes seem so slow, I kind of felt it early on, but I really wanted to give them a chance and not give up at level 20. So, I’m back to my thief, my first character and the class I keep returning to.

I didn’t even get that far, My warrior is lv 37 and guard lv 2, Engineer is the highest at 57 but I leveled him in Southsun. I cant bring myself to log in more than a few minutes a day/week now. I cant find a reason to anymore.

This is why I stopped crafting my legendary, can never be sure what nerfs we’ll be getting. I don’t know how I feel about this patch because I may not fully understand all of the things going on so I think I’ll wait.

Thedenofsin.7340:

“Those abilities aren’t tied to an unblockable boonsteal and also not on the same weapon as a 0 second cooldown shadowstep

Well Pistolwhip is also sword so yes, you can still use inf strike and you just said that the boonsteal wasn’t a problem. I don’t really understand.

wish.1027:

Knights shortbow is the best, since shortbow is only useful for running away and spamming blast finishers.

Why not use PTV then?

You get nothing from the Vitality when you swap to it during combat, and its sub stat Toughness, while Knights is main stat Toughness, which is the only thing that matters IMO.

Care to explain how in that situation, Vitality is useless while Toughness is useful? And out of anything you would rather have your Power drops?

I’m not too sure but I think he meant that the extra vitality would be useless when in combat if your health is already down a bit, it wouldn’t really help in that situation because it would raise your max hp and not current hp at that moment (I think) So the toughness would be better because it reduces damage. Again i’m not sure..

stop complaining. pvp is booming. it is the best part of the game.

if you dont like pvp, stay in pve or just quit.

Go dev’s! You’re all doing a great job.

troll

i’m dead serious. you people just need to adapt to the changes. pvp has a lot to offer. you can play casual or competitive. kids and adults can enjoy and have fun. do you see my point? ^^,

I agree.

I’ve been spending HOURS just playing with 1000’s of new builds because of the tooltip updates.

I never figured out how ANY traits worked beforehand during release/beta on my own. So now I finally know how everything works and it’s AMAZING.

The game is so fresh and alive now, 1000’s and 1000’s of builds!

Wait… nevermind I was playing Path of Exile. =D

1000’s of builds!

Man, for a second there I thought you were serious

Kentrey.3251:

FlyFF I know crazy right

DO NOT say that name!! I dont wanna remember the horrors of getting to 115 psykeeper.. I didnt even make hero or siege one time :,(

Imagi.4561:

I’m struggling to really see the point of the class.

Hmm, never really thought about that before

I wouldn’t waste any more time trying to talk to this guy

Kasama.8941:

The sexiest Thief armor, is the armor that makes you invisible

Case in point.

This happened to me in the Dredge fractals last night as well

Physically incapable of pvp so please make a vid.

BrunoBRS.5178:

god i hate when my party ignores my shadow refuge. I’M TRYING TO HELP YOU, STOP ATTACKING WHILE DOWNED. YOU WON’T KILL THE BOSS WITH THROW DIRT.

EXACTLY! I notice that warriors ALWAYS attack when downed and they’ll pop vengeance while im right next to them trying to ress. Like, you’re downed, focus on getting back up instead of drawing attention to yourself by doing terrible damage. I started asking warriors why they all do that when I notice it.

ZombiesTT.3619:

I’m surprised there are no topics here about the recent nerf of thief range. Thieves now have no 1200 range skill, making them the shortest range class in the game. I don’t know how many of you play WvW but this severely handicaps the thief in this mode.

There are threads here about it lol

Probably would be good if use along with merciful ambush unless the downed person doesn’t benefit from regeneration or I made an error with the traits somewhere..

If they are dancing around the place, go death shroud and use #5

animalmom.1062:

this is an odd situation where wondering if your sarcasm detector is on is causing me to counter wonder if my sarcasm detector is on.

Its hard to tell on the internet sometimes

Siva Mira.3546:

Can I one-hit kill a Rabbit with that build?

You can probaly get it to 50% hp

animalmom.1062:

3 stacks of torment every 45 seconds will ruin anyone’s day.

I would rather stack bleed instead

Zacchary.6183:

“L2P” from a thief means:

Roll a thief and play around with stealth. Learn what thieves do by being the thief yourself so when you go back to your main you know their next move.

Once you understand the thief, fighting one will feel as though you are reading a book. Fights against them will feel so pathetic that you will wonder why you ever kittened about them in the first place. And if you are that good, their first attack will tell you everything about them.

Seriously, just try one out and tinker with them.

….. or something along those lines.

Link this in your sig :P

Geiir.7603:

Blocking should reveal the thief yes. So should being attacked while in stealth. The debuff should also be applied even though the thief doesn’t attack from stealth. That’s my opinion at least.

That would kill shadow refuge’s usefulness, now about the revealed on block, I don’t really have a problem with that.

Had me laughing at sinister and evil force

Wolfe.3097:

it still says 17.5 and gives 21.5, far as i know thats been all day. annoying, and hope its fixed, still will probably do a steal focused build tho with condition damage.

For me it now says 21.5

Coloxeus.3480:

yes S/D are OP if u played it perfectly! but now this game style is not viable anymore

Ntranced.7415:

Fuming over cluster bomb range. Basically the only thing I can use to hit someone on a wall (or from a wall). Useless now. Can’t understand the thinking behind it at all, must be some abuse in kittening PVP or something. Really want a response from a dev on this one.

I don’t think you’ll get one in the Thief forum

I do skipping stones almost every day, just because I can lol. The hardest in my opinion was the clocktower, then Scavengers chasm. I didnt do griffonook run with the bomb though so that one probably ranks up there as well..

A Shorter cooldown wont make most of the traps suck any less imo.

it also no longer works against the boss in Cm, cant remember his name right now, think it was pete or something and he has a shotgun.
