But Warrior is 100x easier to play and is much more effective, they also are immune to nerfs.
1) An expansion, I’d be happy if they stopped doing Living Story and focussed solely on an expansion (preferabbly a Canthan one).
2) GvG
3) More sPvP modes
4) Change Ascended equipment to exotic stats but can have those stats switched (like the current Legendary weps).
5) Dueling
Why yes! Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
So you spam evades and you hate thieves who spam stealth? Anyone can spam DB/PW/FS. There’s no L2P element to it.
Spaming FS isn’t a good S/D thief lol.
Anyone know what you get? or is it random? I heard people just got candy, if that’s the case, I want to confirm it so I don’t waste any time trying to finish it. Thx
Ascended Wep and all the trinkets, you also get to select the type of stats you want too!
Oh well, I can dream….
So many entitled kids here…
I think it looks great, maybe only adults think it looks good because we know the sources it comes from and can appreciate it?
Not everything has to be all flashy and overdramatic.
Perfect.

Lol that mask looks nothing like what we’re getting, I’m guessing the mask we are getting has more to do with the vampire dude than the Mad King/Halloween.
Also costs 4 initiative, unknown how long it lasts.
I don’t think Anet is sitting there preening their feathers thinking about how great they are. I think Anet is scared to say stuff because the community is so rabid. Which is very different than someone who doesn’t listen to criticism.

They are exceptional at WvW roaming and sPvP. Most players don’t know how to play them or build them for that matter.
This
Spirit Rangers can absolutely dominate sPvP when played well.
A hard counter is better than no counter at all, and whoop-de-doo, 4 second reveal isn’t going to get you killed unless you suck at Thief.
Tengu should be next, they already have a major city, lore and some animations (from SP boss in Caledon Forest).
Couldn’t find old topic, but I know of a lot of people that want this put ingame. So why isn’t it here yet?
I’m from NZ, my latency can get REALLY bad with 5-7sec delays in skill activations. I don’t see much thieves from uA and if I do, I barely remember em. Doesn’t take much to be a good thief in WvW, in sPvP I never see uA in there.
uA is the only aussie/nz guild I know of in all GW2 lol.
I don’t know of any sane thief player that uses a utility spot for solely for rezzing allies and honestly, only a bad thief would. Because enemies know EXACTLY where you are since you’ll be rezzing.
lul
Shadow Refuge denies finishing moves, as long as the downed person doesn’t keep attacking through it. I use it for that purpose fairly often if I bring it along.
And people that are finishing should cancel the animation and lay down damage, thieves are squishy. You’d be dead before you can rez, unless the enemy player is just stupid.
Shadow Refuge is situational, like most support skills, but it’s phenomenal under the right circumstances.
Most utilities are situational lol
EDIT: Spelling
Just watched the livestream. Ranger Sic Em will apply 4s Revealed instantly, and cannot be dodged.
It’s worse than I thought. No possibility for counter play except perma-stealthing so they can’t acquire a target to begin with.
Disgusting.
Not that bad tbh, a hard counter is better than no counter at all.
ok he is crying stealth is revoked by revealed. ok use detected stealth still doesnt offer any help dps burst with stealth comes from backstab ie not being seen and able to get behind ur enemy even if u can use backstab ur still able to be seen ur not getting behind that guy most classes will still hit u for 2-4k on crits maybe more I’ve seen 5k with my gs and axe on thieves ie half their life detected ok u heal ur not invis I still beat the kitten out of u and u can’t apply pressure because u can’t make proper use of stealth skills for the simple fact I can see your movements
Edit: In the end get skill maybe you will learn what it’s like to be seen by everything. as for sic’em needs a target to use pet has to hit you so dodge pet attack and maintain stealth like u always do because u suck at the game I’ll admit I haven’t played mine in a while and I can’t seem to kill anything but I can survive zergs easy with stealth just being able to escape with no effort is what is getting changed ie make ur fight initiation extreme or ur dead
I play a Warrior as my 2nd char after my Thief so I know what it’s like to be seen by everything, what’s funny is that Warrior is a much easier class to play than a Thief. Hammer/LB & Mace/GS is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to play and be effective than a Thief imho.
If it brings back JQ, FA and AB then hell yes.

lol how is block a counter to stealth? even if you get blocked, evaded, or just flat out miss you won’t lose stealth and can instantly spam the attack again thanks to the wonderfully thought out stealth and inititative systems. The fact thieves exist at all is mind boggling, the only thing I can think of is that Anet was trying to boost sales by catering to the inept moron that needs training wheels to compete demographic.
No but you will know someone is trying to backstab which gives you the hint to press dodge or move so you may waste the thief’s stealth time and stealth attack. So yes it is a counter, it just requires a little work.
I laughed at this
The truth is, every other class has a penalty for getting an attack on a target who’s blocking the attack. A full cooldown. Thieves get no penalty from backstabbing a blocked target from stealth. Also, seeing block doesn’t necessarily mean you know where the thief is, and if popping an evade sometimes isn’t the right thing to do. Remember, thief wants you to blow your evades so he can land attacks on you easily. It’s called baiting the dodge and it’s a common thief tactic. Have you fought many thieves on other classes yourself? Seems like you would know this if you have.
Edit: Then again, backstab is considered an auto attack, and if any other class attacks a target blocking with their own auto attack, they essentially receive no penalty either but they’re visible to the person. So this may be intended , but it just seems to give thief an insane advantage to setup a 2nd backstab since he can easily drop aegis or wait for the block to end without penalty.
TBH I’d rather have thieves revealed on a Blocked, Invulnerable or Evaded backstab, it’d make things a whole lot more fun and fair.
If they’re so OP I dare you to make one and post your gameplay of your heartseeker spam. Go on, we’ll see how effective you are and how fast you get killed by players that aren’t stupid.
…PS: refuge only used when ally is down.
Sure it is, lol.
Refuge in a 1v1 or on a point is the mark of a bad thief, the only thing refuge is good for is rezzing someone. I used to use it for myself all the time but it would be on cooldown when it really counted, so it mostly goes unused but it’s invaluable for team fights.
I consider it the same cheese as a paladin using bubble in WoW, it shouldn’t be used selfishly.
I win most of my 1v1’s and I carry SR. I constantly move around whilst in it avoiding enemy attacks, it acts as a second heal and grants might stacks. I rarely get knocked out of SR or downed within’ it, you just need to know how to position yourself.
Anyway, are you a support thief or something? I don’t know of any sane thief player that uses a utility spot for solely for rezzing allies and honestly, only a bad thief would. Because enemies know EXACTLY where you are since you’ll be rezzing.
lul
I don’t think that’s a good idea.
I mean, who would use it for 5 stacks anyway? That’s kitten weak compared to the benefits you can get from staying in stealth with points in Shadow Arts.
+5% damage for everyone who attacks the taget isn’t that bad. And when changing heartseeker to work with vulnerability stacks, it would give you a benefit for using more then only 1 of your skills.
The damage would not be done instant like with the current backstab.
You would have to build up for your good damage making it more interesting to play and others wouldn’t complain about getting to much damage with a single hit.5 Stacks of vulnerability would be useless for PvP. And with Backstab useless, no one would play D/D and D/P would be reduced into a troll/chase spec. Enjoy your masses of evade-spamming S/D thieves.
If you are talking about 1vs1 i totally agree.
It is weaker then the current backstab.But in a teamfight those vulnerability stacks can help alot when you focus a target.
I knew that backstab and heartseeker would be the most difficult topics to discuss.
I’d rather contribute by the group by going behind targets and BSing them when they’re on low hp while they’re focused on teammates. If you want vulnerabilities use body shot loooool
Just a small note for ppl out there – sometimes stuff like lag or even pc choking a bit can cause heart seeker not to fire, and then it registers all the button spamming + changes the target (or ignores it) and you see yourself heartseeking 3 times into a wall or a pet. It looks super lame, but believe me, experiencing it on the Thief side is even more annoying when done unintentionally. One of the reasons I prefer pistol.
This is the story of my life as a thief playing from Australia with 350ms ping or more. I feel like an idiot afterwards and wonder if my opponent is just shaking his head at how terrible I am.
I feel your pain, from NZ here playing with 500ms on average lol.
…PS: refuge only used when ally is down.
Sure it is, lol.
Thieves are low tier in sPvP due to burst mitigation but still remaining squishy as fk, they get melted even by bunkers.
200g? The amount I spent was no where near that number. I just refined ori and ancient wood I gathered, made some sharpening stones and crafted a few exotics. I think I spent less than 25. Also the 200g on the website is due to the inflated prices that will eventually drop. oh from 450 I just refined ascended mats I got from champ loot bags.
Yes 200g. You speculated in wood/ore, as did I thankfully. Regardless its 200g.
Collect the stuff yourself and it is significantly less than 200G
Aint nobody got time for that, especially when they have 7 other alts in need of Ascended gear.

Because spamming /laugh is already enough, if you want something humiliating get the cow finisher
Never played WoW, but if it’s anything like other MMO’s then I’m betting the Rogue in WoW also had more evasion than other classes?
Yea it is a blast to play stealthless S/D like guild wars 1 assassin. Ofcourse that is the reason why I picked this class in the first place.
Had no idea it could do perma stealth shenanigans.
Mainly that only exists through D/P using a camera exploit though. That playstyle isn’t really very fun/entertaining to me after a while.
Yeah, I hate D/P, it’s so boring. I went back to D/D and it was tons of fun (burst build, not 3 spam).
I want D/D to get more luvvvv, it’s still fun to play, but I REALLY wish I could change Crippling Dagger and Death Blossom -_-
D/D looks freakin’ BA
I hated Crystal Desert, I’m glad Kralkablabla took it over and corrupted it. TO HELL WITH THAT PLACE!
how ever the casuals and WvW ppl apperntly didnt like it that a certain dungeon had gear with very small stat increase and differnt colour so they added it to laurals and gave some wvw infusions.
for some reason we cant have nice things to work for with out others demanding they have it for no effort either.
o well back on topic
-Sigh-
You couldn’t leave that bit out? You just had to try start a flame war? Anyway, I hope Ascended armor is released on 15th October just so we can get the Ascended tier finished so they can focus on adding in more ways to attain it.
If you didn’t like it before, you won’t like it now.

I agree. Anet, delete his account as well.
Delete the accounts of players that have joined a server with “Glory Farm” in the server name and earned points from it.

Let’s delete your account too.
You must be a glory farmer. Anet, delete his account.

Er, is this serious?
I hate the Champ Zerg Train, don’t know anything about raids since the only MMO’s I’ve played are GW1, GW2 and PWI (which I hated). All I want is some PvP stuff, dueling, more sPvP modes, small scale WvW maps. I don’t know, just ANYTHING for PvP really.
I’ll be honest, I hate getting under leveled characters in my group, you’re just a hindrance to the part and that’s the truth….
Pretty much this.
I’d rather have a bunch of selectable skills for each existing weapon set.
A new Dev Team
Great minds think alike, but i wouldn’t say “new” i would just say Dev team.
LOL XD
I think AR is outnumbered no matter what servers they fight since it’s an unofficial sPvP server :P
I’m jk, but WvW matchups have been a little off recently.
Half the people on my friends list were GW1 vets that played countless hours over the course of years in that game. They played GW2 for less than 3 months and quit.
I’m glad you’re happy, but I think the exact opposite.
…absolutely boring
Yet you are your ilk still persist on being involved with a game that you apparently can’t stand.
It’s the equivalent of watch a popular TV series every week and then go up onto their fan sites to tell them how bad it is every week.
People thought they were buying what it was advertised as, it’s only natural they voice their displeasure.
its not small against another glass cannon… but usually the other team only has 1 glass build and he is way in the back
Then it’s not a small burst – it’s a durable opponent.
You shouldn’t be able to burst high armor foes. That’s the entire point of tank builds. They counter you and condition damage counters them.
Yet condition builds can melt BOTH High Armor and High Burst builds whilst being tanky.
Bleeding : Inflicts X damage per second
Burning : Inflicts X damage per second
Poison : Inflicts X damage per second
and
Torment : Inflicts X damage per secondAll in the same group of conditions. So i think HiS have to remove it.
Already removes 3 conditions (4 if you got stealth cleanse trait), I’d say it’s good as is.
Yeah, they’re really annoying in sPvP since our burst is mitigated. But I’d have stun wars over LB/Hammer wars any day in tPvP.
This would be amazing, but I don’t expect much from ANet.
Actually, you’re expecting far too much. The flames of the armor retain their orangy-yellow look to keep them relatable to the Citadel of Flame. It was a design decision to make them better associate with the location they came from.
Be mindful that this is a game that designed by A.Net, played by the gamers. Not the other way around.
Doesn’t matter imo, they’re making newly colored TA weapons. I know they’re making a new path along with it but still…..
