tactic against pro thieves

in Thief

Kaizer.7135

So what can you do when you face 1 of the best thieves eu ? (with legendary , second legendary in progress, high fractal lvl , mediocre sPvP lvl , “major” rank , leaderboard top 200 ) , considering that he is angry cause you just killed him, and he want to lick his wounds ?
It is lame to drag the fight away from his “black powder” ?
find the answer below , after 40 minutes of trolling

Make me day.
BTW Tokinatus is pro Thief he solo captured supply camp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9MpMKAhDCE =)

seriously? that makes a pro thief?

I think he’s being sarcastic, because soloing a supply camp, especially on a Thief is kitten easy.

What new weapon sets would you like to see?

They have said it takes a team 2 months to do a 2 week content update, they have 4 teams.

So expect to see new skills/traits in 2 months from when they start talking about it…

Probably, one of the September updates. Everyone may have noticed there as been no major changes to the meta (balance/nerfing) the last 2 updates. This is because they are not changing the meta until after the PAX PvP tournament.

But, there are going to be SERIOUS changes to the meta after that…

I hope you’re right, this is the worst meta ever.

Let me put it to you this way. Lets say you want pepperoni pizza, I want orange glazed chicken stir fry, and a third party wanted meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. Would all of that drek be good blended together. I’m not against dueling. There are plenty of spots in PvE that are out of the way that could be dueling zones. The one thing I am against is black and white thinking – not even trying to see things from the other persons point of view.
Oh yeah rolls eyes.

Adding a Dueling mechanic doesn’t take away anything from other people.

Until they fix chat where a blocked player can’t frag with you still yeah it kinda does. It hasn’t happened to me yet but a lot of people I have run with have.

That’s a bug that exists right now though (one that I’ve heard of just now actually). I honestly don’t understand how people don’t want extra activities implemented in this game. People say they don’t want dueling in major cities because it’s annoying even though costume brawls are practically duels, but I don’t heakitten ep on the annoyances of those. My friends and I would LOVE this to be put into the game, especially since we wait around outside dungeons for a long time doing nothing and waiting for WvW to reset.

Larcenous Strike possible change

in Thief

Posted by: Kaizer.7135

Kaizer.7135

I remember when no-one used S/D because of how unreliable flanking strike was and it’s lackluster damage, now it’s one of our best sets.

Anyway, I agree with most people here, don’t change it. S/D has a lot of good skills, if you just spam 3 over and over, you’re not using its full potential. Infil. Strike, C&D and the Auto Attack is pretty strong too. Dancing Dagger though, bleh.

The stealth class is always hated.

in Thief

Posted by: Kaizer.7135

Kaizer.7135

Of all classes, thief has BY FAR the best escape abilities,

I disagree, anyone playing a norn has the best escape option in the game. Snow leopard form racial elite. Hit it, stealth (#5), then use the 1600 range dash (hold down #4) and youre out of combat and they have no idea where you are and you can WP away.

I have norn warrior and can tell from experience that it’s not as viable as the many options thief has. Basically because of the long cl and because you have to sacrifice the good elite signet for it. That signet is very important for most warrior builds.
It is still a very good skill of course, but it’s very long cl really limits its use.
Also, as a thief you don’t need to wp. Basically any mob group suffices as a good place to hide if you are x/d, and if you are d/p, you only need some space to chain your combo.

Warriors have a trait at 10pts that gives passive 25% increased movement speed, your GS #5 skill and Sword #2 skill get you a LOT of distance, I can’t even catch them on a thief unless I want to waste my utility (which I don’t).

Stealth Should be the Reward

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kaizer.7135

Kaizer.7135

I play a Thief as my main now because of the massive advantage that stealth gives me in PvP and in PvE. I get too hurt in PvE? Pop on an everlasting stealth and let my health regenerate while my enemies’ health doesn’t regenerate. I see an enemy in PvP? Pop on a stealth and chase them down, hurt them significantly, and if they decide to fight back, I pop on another stealth and stab them in the back.

Anet seriously needs to learn how to balance classes though. Rangers/Engineers are in the trashcan at the moment because their damage is so terrible. I kind of gave up on Rangers since Guild Wars 1. I played a Ranger, complained multiple times that it needed a damage boost, and never received a single response back. Turns out that I shouldn’t have just left my Ranger. I should’ve just left the game.

You play sPvP and think Rangers and Engineers are trash? LOL, now we know you’re lying.

As dumb as those first two comments were, i do agree with the first guy. It’s been a year and we still don’t have king of the kill or relic runs or something different to just capture points, even PvP like fort aspen wood and jade quarry from guild wars would be a nice change. It has been a good introduction to PvP but we really need new options, please consider looking into ways of incorporating new modes into PvP i know everyone would enjoy a fresh challenge. We’ve seen how innovative you can be with PvP in guild wars one lets get creative and find a PvP mode that suits this game and opens up even more rewarding game play. Thanks for reading.

God I loved FA in GW1, I played that all the time. Hopefully living story releases a Faction vs Faction kinda concept (Kiel supporters vs that charr guy supporters?) and puts a twist on a mode like FA or JQ.

Seriously? Almost a year into GW2 and there’s only ONE game mode? WTF?

Southsun Survivor: Deathmatch in its purest form.
Aspect Arena: Capture the Flag.
Sanctum Sprint: Mario Kart.

All of these are PvP, they are alternate modes, and they exist in-game. Go play them.

That’s not really sPvP, we don’t get to use our builds/skills. I have played them, and I didn’t like em all that much, they’re incredibly laggy, buggy and just an overall pain to play (probably because I live in NZ). Except Aspect Arena, that was pretty cool, I only played about 5 games of it until I got bored though.

Don’t expect to be a tank when you’re a Light Armor class, you can get hit for a lot from any class that’s specced for damage. If you see a Thief running D/D, don’t let him get close and if he does, dodge his CnD’s. Each CnD costs a LOT of initiative, if he misses twice with CnD (you’ve got 2 DODGES), he’s dead or will have to back out of the fight.

Name an MMORPG better than Guild Wars 2

Haven’t played an MMO better imo, I’ve played : TERA, Neverwinter, LoL (that count?), Planetside 2 and some other Action RPG MMO I forgot the name of.

TERA & Neverwinter (Neverwinter also had pretty boring combat) sucked because I had 600+ms ping on there and LoL, well, I hate the gameplay of it, not my type (RTS). Planetside 2 is probably the only one I enjoyed since there’s not really a grind, it’s free and is player skill dependent more than gear dependent (unless you want to be a pilot).

Engi-elementalists and Rangers resurrection

Kaizer.7135

The elementalists downed state is terrible. Vapor Form is next to useless in WvW/PvP, and Grasping Earth is an absolutely terrible channeled skill that takes so long to cool down and cast it might as well just be an empty slot for all the good it does anyone.

Sadly, I’m going to have to agree here. Vapor Form needs to last a little longer so an ele can get the kitten out of dodge, cause there isn’t a snowflakes chance of taking someone not almost dead down with skill 1.

Downed shouldn’t be in PvP anyway, and vapor form is super useful in WvW. Enemy attacking your fort? Go down, nuke em, vapor form into the gate. Or you can travel in a zerg, be the first one to attack and go down then run back to your zerg.

Or did they patch the gate thing?

An expansion that gives a LOT of armor & weapon skins including more race specific ones. I would really want GvG and Open World dueling though, PvP in this game is crap.

The problem isn’t that dueling itself is going to ruin immersion…or even the immersion itself. It’s what the dueling will lead to in map chat. I like to keep my map chat on? Why? Sometimes people say something intelligent and useful (even something as simple as the Maw is Up).

Now imagine a duel, with a couple of guys, nearby. They’re talking trash, insulting each other (it happens), and in generally spamming chat with their own personal battle. Now imagine if two people are doing it.

It’s something I neither care about or need to see…and in other games with dueling I have seen it. So I don’t want it here.

If everyone who dueled had to party and they limited their dueling to in party talk, that would be fine…but that’s never going to happen, because people are inconsiderate. Some will talk smack in map chat, instead of say.

Right now, those people don’t have use reason to harrass others in map chat, but the addition of dueling is probably going to add it.

This is why I keep suggesting a dueling zone or area. So it’s separated from those people who don’t want to hear about it.

Two people fighting doesn’t break immersion. “L2P noob!” does.

Where ever I am, there’s almost no map chat, only in WvW is there any and sometimes LA. But I just mostly see people standing around talking in /say or standing by TP/Mystic forge.

Anytime there is someone talking in map chat, it’s either trash talk, asking for help or recruiting. Maybe I’m just on when the majority of people on my server are offline lol.

I don’t get why people dont want this? because it’s an annoyance? well so were instruments before they enabled a volume setting for it. You could go sPvP and go to a duel server, but that’s such a bother and you don’t use your WvW/PvE gear for it. Also, burst is reduced in sPvP so you won’t be hitting the same as you do in WvW.

People complaining here are probably the ones crying for a LFG tool when they have a 3rd party website they can use, they just want one because it’s more CONVENIENT, which is EXACTLY why we want a dueling feature.

Favorite classes.

Thief and Ranger, Thief is pretty much for reasons you’ve already stated and Ranger because I used to hate ranged fighters in general, but I don’t know. Ranger in GW2 with a Longbow just feels so satisfying to use for me, also the fact you can switch to a GS when enemies get close is awesome too.

I notice on a daily basis that my stuff is sometimes delayed by 0.5 to 1 second, or sometimes an ability goes off twice. As for your complaint with dungeons, it could be that theyre on own servers. I remember in Tera it is like this, whereas certain dungeons gives the impression of more latency.

1-2 second delay is normal here for NZ and maybe some Aus players (no oceanic servers, boooo)

Why is there a C/D on skills not activated?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kaizer.7135

Kaizer.7135

Some skills get canceled upon moving.

Not this one.

If you are NOT facing your target by the time the skill finishes execution it will go on a short cooldown, same as when you were interrupted/dodged/dazed/whatever. If you face your target all the time, the skill will never go in cooldown.

Keep in mind that skills have a short activation time, especially longbow skills, the attack speed is slow. You are “safe” to turn around AFTER the arrow leaves the bow, if you turn 360 while pressing the button the attack will fail and failed attack = interrupted attack = cooldown.

What happens is that the skill is USED but since you are NOT facing your target it fails to connect. If the game was going to punich players for this it would’ve put the skills on FULL Cooldown, fortunalely that doesn’t happen.

I used it AFTER turning around and am facing my target in quick succession. As I said before though, it’s probably lag. Wouldn’t be surprising since sometimes I’m playing with 2-3sec delay.

Just another thing piled onto the stupid pile regarding the skill use in the game.

RIght, because it doesn’t make sense for punishing people to spam skills without positioning properly.

Sorry probably should’ve been more clear, whilst this happens I am standing directly in line with the target when I do a quick 360 to prevent enemies from hitting me from behind. I press the skill as soon as I’m turned around but nothing happens and my skill is on c/d.

EDIT: Spelling, 2nd EDIT: Oh and btw, how is it spamming skills when the skills don’t even activate? That’s just clunky mechanics.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kaizer.7135

Kaizer.7135

You got disrupted or canceled it. There’s a cancelation time of 3-4 seconds so you can’t just abuse certain skills (+stats while doing X, +Y while doing Z).

Example: +400 Toughness while channeling a Mantra. I can constantly channel a Mantra and cancel to continue casting it for perma-400 toughness.

Block while casting X. I can cancel it and then re-cast it immediately for perma-block.

I think I’d know if I pressed Esc to cancel a skill cast since I knowingly do it to cancel attacks to use a heal. Also, this has happened to me many times in PvP, I know what it looks like when you get interrupted by a spell or skill. But when this happens to me the animation doesn’t even show and the skill is immediately on cooldown.

I.E when I play my Ranger with LB and try to use the No.4 skill (or whatever number it is, the knockback skill), sometimes won’t activate due to lag. I think the server thinks I’m not facing the target due to quick turn, or does that happen to everyone? Anyway, when that happens, even though the skill wasn’t used I’ve got to wait like 3-4 seconds in order to use it again. This happens on some of my other toons as well (Mes and War)

It can get REALLY aggravating when this happens, and I’ve no idea why there is a c/d for it in the first place.

Good Thief vs Good D/D or Scepter Ele?

Posted by: Kaizer.7135

Kaizer.7135

Is there a video of that matchup where the Thief wins? I’ve no idea how to beat a GOOD D/D or Scepter Ele in sPvP (WvW is easier since one backstab can take a good chunk out of their hp they can’t insta-heal).

I would create an Ele to better understand its weaknesses and mechanics but I’ve no more character slots and will probably never get enough gold to buy more since I’m no good at saving :P

EDIT: Btw, I the Thief can be any weapon set, I usually run D/P & S/D in sPvP.

Posted by: Kaizer.7135

Kaizer.7135

S/D can make Guard and Ele match ups a lot easier, also, when running D/P as main, I think the 2nd weaponset is a toss up on what you prefer since it’s all you’ll really need to kill or get away (EDIT: having D/P (most of the time) is all you need I meant, 3am here, SORRY! xD).

Why do i have to repair in WvW?

Posted by: Kaizer.7135

Also, I don’t get what all the complaining is about, the most I’ve ever had to pay is like 10s for repairs and that’s after like a few days of WvW with no repairs.

Also? …..? Please state your class and your playstyle. eg. if you turn tail while the front line dies at every opportunity….I have no doubt about what I believe are the common answers to people who state it’s ok.

I solo roam, take on fights I know I can win or pick stray targets off. I usually run Thief, if not that then Warrior, Ranger and Mes. Still leveling a Guardian. Occasionally I team up with a few guildies and run defense, defending against enemy zergs in towers and such. I never run with the zerg unless I’m leveling an alt since I find PvE boring.

Assassins were awesome in GW1. They did get hit hard with all the nerfs though lol.

They were a mess. Soon after they were introduced, a lot of people refused to play anything other than “Barranger Assassin” (basically a poor’s man version of a Ranger with Barrage). ArenaNet dealt with the issue by giving the “glass cannon” archetype near permanent invulnerability – Shadow Form – which has nothing to do with the original rogue archetype. It was mostly a farming and speed clear tool, though.

There was also Crit-Scythe sins, BoA burst Sins, Staff Sins (Deadly Art spam) and yeah, perma-SF that could clear almost anything. But still, I loved their combo mechanic.
