Guild Wars 2

I can flip camps with a typical backstab build, stealth makes it too easy.

I REALLY doubt we’ll be getting a new class or race, personally I just want traits and skills re-vamped to become useful and build defining. Especially on Thief, we really only have 2 viable builds -.-

Happens to me, but it’s my own fault, usually when I see CnD start up without me wanting it to, I just cancel out the animation with a dodge.

I got more HP than you lol

Roll a thief. No other class can practically one shot people every 60 seconds and then escape, then do it all over again.

Thieves don’t 1 shot, it’s a combination of C&D>MUG>Backstab, easily avoidable if you keep moving and dodge once a Thief is in mug range, the only thing that makes thieves OP atm is the culling issue, but that isn’t our fault.

From right to left:
Mesmer: Masquerade coat and legging
Elementalist: Human cultural tier 3
Thief: Whisper’s coat, not sure about the shoulders
Rander: Norn cultural tier 2
Thief: Duelist (Level 72~80 exotic)
No idea what the Charr has
Guardian: Norn cultural tier 3

Charr has T3 cultural also

Nope, you can’t get the Guild Emblem put on any of your equipment. The only ones that will display the emblem is the Guild Armor, and it looks awful.

Dr Acula.3496:

Let’s be real here. Hearing a D/D ele complain about anything is quite laughable….

Exactly what I was going to say lol.

And people QQ about Backstabs? Sigh

Got an Abyss AND a Black dye before I was even lvl30 in GW2, sold the Abyss though since I had already put the black on and didn’t think it would be much darker.

I was wrong.

Backstab Thieves OP? In sPvP? LOL

You guys are honestly just BAD, my Warrior stomps thieves. When you seem em comin’ just let em get within mug range and dodge, they will try C&D>Mug>Backstab as soon as they’re in range. Once you dodge, use a stun and hammer them down. So easy…

My 10/30/30/0/0 berserker p/d makes any p/p cry

Berserker p/d? What do you use for damage?

well, if you played p/d before you already know the answer, sneak attack and autos, but when you have berserker gear, and ruby orbs, (I currently only have blues mostly and a couple greens) on other lvl 80s in wvw im auto attacking them for 700-1k and sneak attacks for 2500-3500, I don’t do tpvp, but in spvp hot joins, im usually doing 500-700 and 2-3k sneaks and CnDs are usually 2k.just think about how easy already it is to land a cnd sneak and autoattacking that much from range with all the stealth to help you evade

Ahhh ok, I thought p/d was more effective as a condition damage.

You sure the haste wasn’t a trait or dagger sigil on crit? As stof said, it could probably be Ambush Trap.

kittentail.7492:

I’m all for everyone having fun in the game, but the mindset of people who play MMOs these days that theyre entitled to have EVERYTHING is cancer. Its all fluff, it is time for some people to accept that something is too hard for them and move on.

When quoted it says Kittentail, but when looking at your username, it’s normal lol.

Anyway, I agree with you 100%

Berserker p/d? What do you use for damage?

If you got the skin in Fireheart Rise (I think that one) for karma, that skin was unintended for those weapons. So Anet reverted them back to what they were supposed to be.

How does one mess up something so basic though I wonder?

I don’t know why you took it out with this patch, nobody ever has those rank finishers and besides, it’s stupid to use “FINISH THEM” in WvW because it’s much more effective to just kill them in most cases.

Please change it back

Did the JP on all my chars, it’s really easy. Magnificent Chest at the end, I got some snowflakes, a booster and Big Wintersday Prezzie

@ Kaizer.7135

If that’s how you feel, then stop reading and replying to threads like this and trying to act like you have authority?

I’m at 70%, I’m just killing tiiiiime. Don’t get so mad, seriously.

Why does this thread ALWAYS pop up after a big patch? A lot of people are downloading it at the same time, just be patient. Sheesh

Of course everyone is trying to download at the same time — they were all kicked from the game at the same time. Friday night during North America’s prime time. It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to predict the trajectory of the servers when the clients all start downloading at the same time.

Would’ve been better served pushing the patch earlier in the day or even the week.

It will happen regardless of what time it is, in case you didn’t know, this game is international. They pick one time that isn’t prime time for US, it maybe prime time somewhere else. Just stop complaining, it’s annoying.

Kerishan.8460:

Imagine.

10 thief that coordinate the cnd and backstab on target.

Yeah they can kill all of you but this is tactic. this is the game not hacking.

Ummm no, that wouldn’t happen unless all those thieves are bad. It doesn’t take 10 people to kill a single target.

Problem most likely is culling.

• Fleet Shadow: Increased move speed from 33% to 50%.

…What?! Thieves can already get away soooo easily in WvW why on earth would they EVER consider making this EASIER for them?! Along with the culling problems…..I just dont understand why they would buff stealth in ANY way right now.

rootnode.9546:

Because as a thief, you’re sooo slow. Bow, 5, done.

Maybe this is Anet saying that the Thief is SUPPOSED to be able to be fast, agile, and mobile? You know, like it says in the class description? Get used to it.

;)

k thats fine…..if they didnt also have the ability to dish out more damage then most of the other classes in the game.

In WvW stealth is already MASSIVELY abused. 9/10 encounters with enemies are thieves. Half the time when your fighting them you cant even see them due to culling issues.

Now you make them move 20% faster allowing them to get behind the target faster pulling off backstabs more easily and if things start looking ugly just turn and run and no one could possibly catch you.

This was really just unnecessary. Thieves were already highly mobile and a skilled thief could get out of any situation.

A skilled anything can get out of any situation, I make Thieves cry in sPvP with my war. Once they pop out of stealth, perma-stun and they’re dead.

Richochet = new mystic dagger? hmmmm

I do sPvP for the /rank emote now that it can be used in PvE. It looks cool when you summon your banner

Too bad I’m only rank12 -.-

It’s a supposed Point of Interest that’s next to the Doric Waypoint but there’s NOTHING there. Not a grayed out icon or even when I’m on my main there’s no p.o.i there. But if wiki is true, it is the only thing I’m missing for 100%. So I’m here to ask, is there one there or not? and if there is, how can I get it? can I get it?

Cheers

I was hoping they’d get involved with the Karka or something, seeing as though they were close to Lost Shores. Not as playable characters of course, just events that would’ve given more info to what had happened to them.

Btw where did the Karka even come from?

There is really no point in discussing WoW in the GW2 forums. It’s been stated before that the moderators don’t really like this kind of comparison, and for good reason to.

There is no reason to stir up trouble with other games.

Couldn’t care less what themes the moderators like being discussed.

Too bad you agreed to not bring them up when you joined the forums.

“Do not submit “trolling” posts or threads. We define “trolling” as commenting in a manner intended to elicit overly strong negative and emotional responses for mere shock value, attempting to derail threads, persistently posting off-topic, or engaging in personal attacks on another forum member. Accounts made with the sole intent to “troll” will be terminated.”

Posting a topic that compares two MMOs in an inflammatory way is, by definition, trolling.

Like I said, there is no point in stirring up trouble players of another MMO on these forums by “calling out” their game. There have been similar fights on other gaming forums and there is really NO good reason to start them here.

It’s funny because judging from the posts before yours there was no arguing or any trouble until you brought up stop comparing MMO’s to eachother.

yet ANOTHER video of how unbalanced the thief class is gj

Really? To me I think this video just proved how good OP is, I liked how well he/she picked her/his targets. Don’t forget though, culling does impact the fight a lot, but there’s nothing we can do about it.

Regardless, that was nice gameplay and good skill, gj OP

Ugh, I absolutely HATE dungeons. So, yeah, open world it is for me.

Highest dps, permastealth, best mobility, decent ranged dng. What’s balanced about this? Thieves are in abject denial of god mode.

What needs fixing is peoples perception on thiefs

Highest DPS, Stealth and mobility. So thats a 30/30/30/30/30 build your talking about then. When can I spec like this? Because im limited.

And the OP is a warrior. Warriors, full glass cannon, invunrability and 20khp and massive leaps and good duration blocks, 6sec cooldowns. Yea ok. I rolled a warrior and laughed at the power compared to a thief

People need to learn to make proper pvp builds if they want to pvp and win

The difference is you can see a warrior coming, and if he starts losing mid fight, he doesn’t have the option to disappear and reappear 10 seconds later for another attempt. Likewise if he runs away you can see him do it.

Thieves ARE OP in their current state, but until the culling issue is addressed no-one can look subjectively at thieves to see if something needs toning down.

Warriors have invulnerability, KD’s & hastes. Low CD skills and blocks, if you can’t kill a thief with a warrior, then you’re just bad. Btw, an INVINCIBILITY on-the-fly skill is OP, self-rally when downed & getting a revive if you get revenge is OP.

When using Heartseeker I only land my hits 50% of the time when I’m standing right next to my targets, and I’m NOT joking.

Everything gets nerfed, our underwater abilities get buffed.

I wish the ground cursor kind of “stopped” when you’re about to go out of range, because in the heat of battle, it’s already annoying to go out of range with the skill but then to come back and get the maximum range to escape.

Gah sorry if I didn’t explain it properly, I’m real tired lol :\

Yeah I was disappointed about the lack of hoods as well. But then again, I was disappointed about medium armor in general with this game.

2h Katanas usable on thief please…

Riel.2160:

it’s actually fun how all of you just /lol all at him when he is right about bugs and dungeons

same happened with swtor year back … everyone who posted complain got dismissed by fanboys and then look swtor is pay 2 win game right now!

This,

I’ve already seen quite a lot of " I’m quitting " threads, not only that but I have 3 guilds I am in. 95% of all 3 of those rosters are NEVER online, ever. Even my friends from GW1 that all had GWAMM have moved on.

Haha sounds like loads of fun

I usually just go into the JP to find and attempt to kill other players, I never attempt doing the actual JP though because SoR is almost always camping the arena with siege -.-

I never use it because I think it’s weak >.>

The only way I can get a team down or even 1 person is if they’re Glass Cannon and don’t know how to purge.

EDIT: Just in case it isn’t clear, I meant getting them down with Dagger Storm

No because downed is a cheap mechanic that shouldn’t even be in sPvP, why should I even have to kill the same person twice?

Especially when playing a thief, a downed person can down a thief easily if he doesn’t stealth stomp.

Then portal bombing will be much harder to do since you can’t activate it right away.

Shadowlancer.7102:

Pushing NPCs off the cliff is a bad idea because people that are “Trolls/Rude/Mean” will knock your NPC off a cliff and what if that NPC has loot of them?

Sorry, but this feature will never be included.

There’s no such thing as “your npc” since dealing a significant amount of damage will make it anyone and everyones npc which they will be rewarded for with loot despite who gets the finishing hit or the most damage.

This idea is a good one because enemy npc’s have too many advantages compared to players:
1)being able to knock off players to fall to their death.
2)invulnerability trigger that goes off when pulling them too far
3)follows after step 2, the enemy will regenerate to full HP without being vulnerable
4)enemy npc’s suffer no type of combat speed that players suffer from.

I used to hate this mechanic as well, in sPvP specifically because I don’t like killing the same person twice in such a fast paced PvP. But since they lowered the HP it has been all good & WvW you don’t really need to worry about finishing them off since someone else will do it for you.

Teabaker.9524:

I’m also playing thief and warrior and thief is soo much stronger than warrior atm. Yes, in a fair 1v1 a good warrior can actually win against a thief. However, in teamfights thieves completely dominate over warriors. Warriors get completely wrecked by conditions, stuns and dazes.

And the same goes for vice versa, what’s your point?

Basilisk is my main elite, it’s the only one I find good in every situation. The others will be better in others, but the CD puts me off.

They should delete the thief class in this game, as they have done such a bad job making it worth playing, not enough beta tests I guess. Nerf the class to the ground like in SWTOR and then loose most players, this game will be truly f2p in no time.

Its true this is stupid 1 thief like from different game.

Dude you cry about every single thing, I bet if you uploaded a video of you playing it’d be funny as hell because you’d be so bad. I usually don’t say this but, Learn To Play.

If backstab gets nerfed and NOTHING else gets buffed, this class will only have P/D condition thief to run because of the lack of options ANet gives for other builds.

I play 8 years in GW and I kill 1v4 in Random Arena and I know what Im talking.
Thief must disapire from GW2 becose noobs like you cant learn to play GW2.
If you playing thief and you cant kill any onther char in 2-3 sec you just noob.

I make thief for test and on 20 lvl no 1 can kill me only different thief.

Well this isn’t GW1 LOL

And random arenas isn’t hard, because well, it’s random. You could run a 55monk and be paired with 4 idiot warriors.

EDIT: You got to lvl20, took your thief into WvW and couldn’t get killed by anyone? Not even another lvl80? Okay, you’re trolling.

WHY have mounts? They’re lame and boring, they’re just a pretty speed buff. Also, the whole game is split by instances. You’d be putting away and pulling out your mounts a lot more than in other MMO’s.

If you want to “experience” the world, then walk/run, no one is stopping you.

Wow. and you failed to kill him even though you have a KD, Invulnerability and Haste? If you did kill him, you have no right to complain.

Kaimick.5109:

I just hate payign 23 or 28 silver for a trebutche then have some Kitten face troll come along right after it is built but before I can use it jump on it and not get off it. I am all up for helping the server out, but when someone pays for an upgrade they should have the option to use it over the person that didn’t pay for it.

OR

Make a donation system to build open upgrades that the commanders can place and use

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say?

If you put your own siege down, you have the option of taking it over at anytime. Regardless of who is in control of it.
