Guild Wars 2

I did it and its fine, you can make a new one. Hope this helped

Yes i know ive already made posts about this, but ive been thinking maybe staff would fit thief, but i dont think its the right time to do staff, were about to be heading into the magumma in the exspansion, i think what would be better, would be to release staff in another exspansion, mabye i dont know one that involves us going to Cantha, it fits way better there, the specs we know so far have a sort of story behind them that fits what we will be doing. So i think Staff doesnt fit Heart of thorns for thief, and i dont even think its gonna happen anyways. I hope it would be rifle or Axe, people will probably say, oh your just another rifle fanboy, but i really do think it would be easier to make rifle or axe, or even torch fit this exspansion.

I sure hope arenanet comes out with some kind of teaser today, heck im done wishing for it to be elite spec teasers, i just want a teaser for something, I love the specialization patch but they are still ignoring us when it comes to actual Hot info. I got shadow abyss the other day but i dont feel special for getting it like i would a year ago, it seems like everyone has it these days not saying i dont want them to have it though.

can people that pre- purchased get into it automatically? if so im a little confused , because i thought pre-purchase was suppose to give access to betas and stuff.

Im still having a hard time as thief in pve, i tried getting some vital stat increase with armor and getting survivalbility in my traits, but my damage seemed reallly low, so i tired going glasscannon again, and not only do i watch other people outdo my backstabs, but of course i started dying easily again. This is for pve only pvp is ok becuase of amulets.
Is there something crucial im missing, and what is the average damage for a glasscannon these days, or am i just a perfectionist.

Maybe i just think they would be stupid not to listen to alot of thier theif players, lots of people want either dual sword or rifle mostly.

We are not martial artists, there are zero skills at the moment that show that except for dodges, i just cant see the stealthy thief being turned into some guy running around flinging his staff everywhere. And im not just voting rifle, i would like a stealthy mace type thug character. And dual swords.

omg please don’t let it be melee staff, 1.I thought revenant was getting that in the expansion, 2. It does not fit the play style , i don’t see a lot of stealth or other thief like ability’s coming with a weapon set like this, 3. thieves are not monks -_- we are made to go in battle with the advantage and put pressure on enemy’s, and going back out if needed, then coming back in to finish the job, but still depends on how you play our beloved backstabbers. I spent my first year playing engineer, and it didn’t feel right, then i checked out thief and have been playing it ever since, don’t make me regret it.

I also see alot of people in-game talking about themselves being gay or transgender, noone cares about that, play the game, i have tolerance for what people want to do , but that does not mean i have to agree with what they do.

Bro, i completely agree, not only does this game need to stay away from politics, but its true alot of the player base did not agree with the descision, and most of the country, atleast 60% If you read drudge report. I wish arenanet would keep away from stuff like this youll you will P.O most of yuur playerbase soon enough.

I would do traits but that would take longer

- Warhorn only fits with air element, (Blow water out of the horn? )

Something about this almost made me laugh to death XD.

I dont think its really all that bad, i mean the people who are whining are the ones the play builds that just soak up dmg all day, but now that people are actually doing decent dmg they are gonaa start complaining, anet if your gonna balance the changes, just be careful the slightest over-nerf could cause an uproar0-0

I REALLY, do not want a friggin, bo staff as the elite thief specialization, why can we have a ranged weapon?, i really hope the datamined picture just supposed to be something else. LISTEN TO YOUR COMMUNITY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS RIFLE,im sure more people want rifle than people that want anything else.

Every time i open guild wars 2 to do the new update it gets to about 18 percent and then says, Guild Wars 2 has stopped working, is this happening to other people.

So 60 second cooldown, kitten that ill go with something else XD.

In the patch tommorrow, i only have 1 question, how will the new flanking strikes work will it give haste everytime you hit from behind or side, or will there be a cooldown?

Look, i know they are doing specialization livestream on june 22 and then patching it in on the 23, but could there still be a teaser image for an elite spec on monday and reveal on thursday?

Some might not agree, but i hope for main hand mace or torch, we could get some intresting skills.

First of all, i would hope to soon see little things like sitting in chairs to be implemented or other things like that. Also i think you guys should add some custimization things, like instead of charr having normal fur, you could have more of a flame legion type thing, they have no fur right?. Also mabye diffrent ears and more heads for asura, and some more heads and things for sylvari, i wasnt sure what to do for human and norn.
Im not asking for mounts, becuase i think something like tents,umbrellas,campfires, cool things like that, or even caravan type things like pack animals that follow you. Those could be used for roleplay or could give boosts, like mabye the pack animal could give boons when your around it.

Lastly, adding to the caravan type things, it would be cool to have small machines or birds that fly way overhead, and can drop food and supplies that you give it, it could drop it during battles or just when running around. Some of these ideas may not work for the game but i think it could make the game feel more alive then it already is, so if any admins could tell me what they think or mabye already thought about doing this stuff please say.

So I read a Mesmer trait in the changes, the trait gives quickness for 3 seconds when you interuppt enemies with a ICD 5 sec,For Thief the flanking strikes gives haste which means fury and quickness, but they dont say if its everytime you hit from behind or side, they dont show a cooldown, and I dont think they wrote it wrong either, so does that mean its haste everytime you hit from behind or side with no cooldown. My guess is it is everytime but you only get like 1-2 seconds.

I read the thief changes and really liked them, except for moving the exicutioner trait. Im wondering about how the new haste changes will work with the new flanking strikes, will there be cooldown for the flanking strikes or will it be perma haste from the trait? Personally I would hate for there to be a cooldown. It didnt really show a cooldown so im just checking to see if anyone knows.

Thx for the info m8

I mean why isn’t it on youtube?

Are we gonna get a ready up today or did the news lie?

Morfedel.4165:

Hm, maybe a rifle thief could be based off one of those sylvari sniper people that we see in Orr and in HoT. Oh, right, Pale Reavers.

That would be cool having their hyper long range sniping abilities, but it would probably be too broken.

IT SHOULD BE CALLED REAVER<<<<Better than sniper

Great friggin idea!!!

Also you guys should help me think of combos, so many ideas im excited

These do have condi applications, but your missing the point its not about stacking conditions like other ranged weapons, its about using them together to have an advantage, you have access to blinding, buning, confusion,chilling that slows, and a knock down shot this weapon could be used to get the drop on your enemy easily, so before you go and assume things read it carefully, its not exactly damage over time it should be used to make your enemy go wtf and panic, I think people could make some decent builds with rifle skills like this.

I am happy about guild halls info, but is that it I thought there would be maybe ya know a little more this week.

I was thinking of an auto attack with rifle that applies quick burning and does regular damage, like the thief auto attack with pistol that does bleeding.Second attack could do decent damage but also add confusionbbased on their health, this will cost 3 intiative, 3rd attack, could maybe be an explosive shot That blinds foes around the target.4th attack medium damage ,chilling shot for 4 seconds, cost 4 initiative, 5th shot does little damage but knocks down your foe, and it will cost 6 initiative for anti span reasons, this weapon is great for support and for 1v1 you could go into different lines to make it more effective, and can quickly drain initiative if not used right.

Anyone have ideas for them, try to come up with a name, a weapon, and some skills.

Im not even going to talk on this thread anymore, becuase its been taken over by Offended children.

There is a diffrence between complaining and asking for diffrent info to be released, Complaining is coming on the forums to talk down to other people becuase they would like something better, And plus what do you care what i think about it, Im not looking for replys from offended children about how the info is comepletely good to some people, i posted this too see if anyone had ideas for what they should do for info instead. Theres nothing ironic about what i posted either.

Atleast mini can reply like an adult and state his opinion without being a total troll.

I felt a little bummed looking at the teaser art this week, and today the info realeased was sort of intresting but, like so many people im not a big fan of revenant, i know some people are, and so i say, good for you. After the 2 weeks without squat i was hoping for another spec reveal or mabye some more info on Challenging content. Also people will hate me for this but if arena net does release another spec next thursday it better not be druid or i will shoot myself, druid and revenant are what i am least intrested in XD

Sthenith.5196:

Rifle. With extra dmg shooting from stealth and an F1 jump skill you get with the zookas on Jormag.
Stealth-Jump-Blow their heads off. And elite spec would oc be called JumpinJackFlash. Doh.

Sounds awesome!

Satenia.9025:

Been wondering about that as well… still holding my breath till I get to see the warrior spec

(… and please no “monsterhunter” :> )

I shall whisper into the devs minds and tell them………monsterhunter……>:3

For me, number 1 would be Rifle obviously, and i would expect some long range shadowstep abilities, or if there are some close range skills with it, something like a skill that reveals other hidden enemys. One of my biggest ideas for rifle would be an auto attack that gave a diffrent condition for each hit, and mabye skill 2 could be a shadowstep to target shot but when you get to the target you give a condition you have to them and take a boon from them, this would be 4 initiative for the shot and 2 to get back, skill 3 would be a simple long range confusion shot so you could do dammage for them using skills, 4th skill would be a knockback skill but the twist is you would have stealth for 3 seconds after hitting them 3 initiative cost mabye more later, finally 5th skill i am basing off one i read on the forums earlier, the shot woud hit them do small damage but you would trade places with them, then fire a bleeding shot at them from where you traded places, i could see these working well together and with other skills, like placing traps before using skill 5, also skill 5 would cost 4 initiative to fire the trade places shot, and 1 extra for the bleeding shot, 1 extra initiative for anti spam reasons. tell me if you like these ideas, have your own, or you could change mine up a little, if it were up to me these could be tweaked later.

Its so sad how we base character creation on how easy it would be for them to target us , i guess its suppose to be “practical”, so i made a Charr thief awhile back and im doing fine, mabye it is harder to target you if your female human, but your giving up some custimization, i think it takes real skill to be a bigger thief where you are easily seen if yohr not in stealth.

Ya you could be right, i just want thief specs ;(

Will there be new spec info this thursday or are they taking a break becuase of beta?

My lengendary would be a dagger in the form of a meat hook that would have a dripping blood effect all the time and as you would guess a blood trail would be left behind when walking simple legendary but i think it would be awesome.

I really hope the current builds wont be too outdated when the exspansion comes out, ive worked very kitten my thief build, and im sure others work kitten thier builds, Also having to do with builds is the damage obviously, look i know it will be balanced but they arnt going to ooovverbalance it right, i still want high damage, and i dont stack in dungeons Im one of the gokd zerkers ;(((((

So, Basically im a pretty big noob even though i have some level 80 characters, One of which is a thief, i have invested most of my time into my thief, ive tried multiple builds and im still looking for a build that does lots of crit damage in pvp pve and wvw. So if anyone could share a build, that would take a huge load of my back becuase, i have great survivalbility skill, i just need my thief to hit really frickin hard, Also would scholar runes be good for A crit build.
