Guild Wars 2

ComeAndSee.1356:

Earlier in WvW a thief jumped me in the battle field, popped Haste, and literally full healthed me and dropped a finishing move in the span of 3 seconds then vanished and ran away when there was 20 other people around me. I was completely shocked as I have never been killed that fast by any class in game, even Warriors.

I have 3182 armor and had 17.2k hp at the time. I wish I was running fraps because I was rooted and my health bar just dropped 100% to 0% in mere seconds before I could even react.

This (and Warriors) is really starting to ruin PvP for me with the ridiculous amount of damage being dumped out. There should be 0 reason why any class should hit even over 3.5k physical attacks on builds stacked high on armor.

Today I was on my thief without my glass cannon setup and this guy with what look like 3182 armor and 17.2k hp was there , I just couldn’t do anything to him for over 2 minutes as he was just soaking up my regular damage and healin up everytime I started doing some decent amount of dmg, these tanks are ruining PvP for me ( and warriors)

I’d be okay with this, since it would also make SoM even more valuable. Not to mention, as you said, it would make sense.

What would be also cool is if it fired 8 shots, then fired both guns at the same time for the final shot for extra damage, similar to 100 Blades. I’m kinda disappointed ANET hasn’t used any simultaneous shooting animations for dual pistols.

All in favor for a Barret power shot from FF7?

Owait, warriors already got it

If I can have his final limit break, that’s all I need, take away my stealth and everything

I sometimes go 20-0-30-20-0 and pick up some venom utilities

It was just me and a hammer warrior one night outside the spawn in eternal battlegrounds with a huge group spawn camping us. It was fun slowly pulling them in 1 by 1 to the legendary defenders with the warrior just knocking them back for insurance lol. Most fun with scorpion wire ever , 2 vs 20 and we owned them lol

Looks nice , but it looks like you have oven mitts on IMO

Time for the first annual “GW2 Grand Prix” we’ll have every class line up at the north side of a map with any build and weapon set they want and race to the south side, the winner gets 49 copper and a soiled rag ( salvaging kit not included)

I remember messing around trying to get the highest killshot dmg, although I can’t remember the exact build I can remember picking up the trait that gives you an increase for every boon on you and I believe I have the lyssa runes? The one that gives you all boons when u use an elite skill. I popped for great justice and signet of power ( sorry not too familiar with warrior traits and stuff if I got the wrong names for skills and traits) and signet of rage before I used killshot, got a a slightly higher number, although you have to wait for the cool down on the rune to do it again.

I think I remember reading somewhere that after a certain amount of toughness, it starts losing its effectiveness, not sure if this is true or it applies to all classes the same if it is, was hoping someone knew these numbers so it can help me plan out what gears to get since I finally just got to 80

Well, there’s your first problem, your 2 feet tall >.>

yea i would say play glass cannon untill you can pick up enough traits, but if you wanna play it anyways, start with p/d first cause u can stealth and avoid alot of damage, where d/d imo is really dependent on traits

use carrion gear and 0/0/30/20/20 would give u alot of survivability if u pick up all traits in the shadow arts line that does stuff when you stealth, can’t remember the names but pretty much blind when you stealth, remove contitions while you stealth, and regen while stealth. If you want a little more survivabilty, i use shaman gear and that increases your health regen, but your condition dmg goes down just a little, not much though.

Right now I run a 0/030/20/20 P/D build but instead of carrion like most thieves do I use shaman gear which is Healing/Vit/condition dmg. Being able to heal myself almost 2k hp every time I stealth and still spam sneak attack for 95 a tick on bleed is just ridiculous . And that’s with blue lvl 71 gear upscaled in wvwvw

I run a p/d thief and I prefer to take spiders venom over caltrops. I prefer the healing debuff over the cripple. And for my build the poison ticks harder than my bleeds anyways. The only time I switch to caltrops is if im trying to cap something since most people tend to ignore caltrops when fighting on the node

that pretty much just almost brings me back to the previous buid, i was kinda steering towards more survivabilty and using our stealth to do that with different sets of gears for the high health regen.

Ive been running a P/D build already, but wanted to change it up and came up with

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAqYVlUm6OHfy5E/5EB3Dnm0m6p4rjtTBW1KA;TsAg2CrosxYjwGrNObk2sOYEw8AA

I gave up just a little bit of condition dmg for more heals. I was testing this in the some spvp matches and pretty much theres a whole lot of toughness but only 13k hp. the thing is pretty much everytime you stealth before your sneak attack, you lose conditions and pretty much healed to full health everytime. Even with the low hp i had alot of the survival even from burst.

I was testing this out to try and use for WvWvW but i realized that the gears in the TP Has Vit/Healing/Condition dmg instead of Toughness/Healing/Condition dmg, was wondering if anyone has tried anything similar to this and how it went.

i like how people are saying that P/D got nerfed cause of CnD, because thats what that build relys on for dmg right.. >.>, if so i guess thats why those people dislike the build. If anything, I can pew pew people that much faster now

Heres a simple thing to help warriors, since i got a feeling alot of the thief population might be coming this way soon,

carry every weapon with you in your bag

sounds simple, yet effective.

Change the sound file so every time someone uses FGJ you hear" me love you looonnngg time"

With that cast time, I think we need a animation over us of a basilisk roaring then zooming into its eyes showing a sparkle that stuns the target with a laser oh and the basilisk should yell for great justice also

Daecollo, ppl are gonna say, we’ll its because in 1500 range the charr warrior is smaller than an asuran but rendering issue is the problem with a thief >.>

I like how people say well u can see a killshot from that far and dodge it, but apparently you can’t see a thief that’s even closer before he can cast steal and try to do something about it. And let’s not count that bug with the piercing, and lets say everyone is 80 with good armor, so kill shot hits 8k? And pierces 3 ppl, that’s 24k dmg in 1 button compared to a thief bs combo. And since everyone complains about a bs combo being 1.75 seconds is too fast but anything else twice as long needs a buff, can I go omg I button piercing 3 ppl is op but a bs combo pressing 4 buttons ontop of me running behind someone needs a buff?

One time, I killshotted a bunch of rabbits in wvwvw for over 10 mil, true story

“Today I was fighting a thief and I actually used an aoe when he stealthed, so that’s what everyone has been talking about”

“I came here for thief discussion, strategy, and advice, you guys were so helpful, thank you”

“Thieves need a buff”

Just wanted to see how many other thieves out there pick up the hidden thief trait just to down other players besides me. I see a lot of ppl just using CnD but whenever I seem to do that when I roam around looking for small groups in wvwvw I seem to get aoed and it just makes downing ppl annoying.

Less stabby stabby more pew pew pls

I see you guys actually got it up and running, so I just rolled my thief and started leveling it up, mind sending me an inv, the name is Aizuki

Question about empowered under the tactics tree, does it increase your damage based on stacks also or just each boon for itself?

any update on whats happening? or is this a failed attempt which i hop not ….

For some reason this reminds me of counter strike back in the days when me and my friends would all get the dualies keybind it to the mouse scroll and scroll up and down to shoot it superfast while “zerging” the de dust maps. But I vote for the map that’s currently in first place to make it simple and name doesn’t matter for me

so u can crouch walk while blocking all the rangers to shield bash stone mist gates?

Just do what I do, use a hammer and stun them next to u inside of their snares and traps then it wouldn’t matter anymore >.>

That’s the build I run, yes 2 hammers and I don’t rely on a rifle, kiting isn’t much of an issue also cause of the stuns, and it seems like more of the time they’re trying to run away instead trying to avoid my stuns and the Damage that i can still dish out. The only time I use a rifle or bow is in wvwvw but who doesn’t have a ranger weapon there. Oh and I don’t use frenzy

2 and ontop of that my fps has improved, went from a constant 15 to a constant 40

That’s what I like about the warrior too, the fact that u can use so many weapon sets. I usually just use the strongest weapons I pick up whatever kind it is because I seem to make any combo work for leveling and I just npc the rest, seems to make a lot of gold for me. The rifle lb combo for me seems like it was working better with mobs under my lvl but once they’re above u u really have to start kiting and i find kiting in pve annoying. But whatever combo u use always have a sword/wh and gs with u cause u can travel across the map so fast with that combo with the swiftness horn and leap from sword the rush with the gs and the spinning thingy (3) from gs

I didn’t really care much since I didn’t really do much wvwvw at first but now that I’m starting to get into it it does suck. I was just thinking if anet does do anything with it would it be wrong or a good/bad idea to move everyone back to their original servers first ?

This whole time I thought he was yelling " fawk it Justin" and I was wondering " who the hell is Justin " >.>

Yea I never thought about the cool down of the weapon skills and I might consider a different weapon set now cause of that, thanks for the suggestion

Not sure on the cd but I just swap for the might

Sry bad link but its 10/0/30/20/10

Stregnth – V
Defense – I, VIII, X
Tactics – I ,VI
Discipline – IV

2 hammers with sigil of superior strength
6/6 rune of strength
Soldier amulet and jewel

Healing signet, endure pain, for great justice, signet of might, signet of rage

Hi , lemme just start off by saying that I’m just your average casual gamer. I’m no pro or anything and I’m looking for more of any tips or suggestions to help my build and not trying to make a guide.

I’ve tried plenty of other builds but I have never felt comfortable because of my average amount of skills so I was always just stuck to 1vs1 or stayed with a group. But since I made this build, the first time I tested it out myself I was in a 1vs3 and was very comfortable and won O.o, thought it was luck but then I pulled off another 1 vs 3 :)

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQJASSjkOtw5OKPMRCA0jqyiLThiUFsLpQsyA;ToAA1CtoyxkjIHbOuck5sEZIC

Pretty much with my build I’m stacked up on might from signet of rage, signet of might, and for great justice. I have 2 hammers with sigil of superior battle that I keep swapping to get more might, and 6/6 runs of stregnth to help with the might.

Getting kited isn’t a problem for me because of all the CCs from the hammer and the swiftness that’s always up from signet of rage and signet mastery to help with that and my might stacks.

Just a build I wanted to share and looking for any help tips suggestions.
