So i need help as a thief. How does stats transfer from spvp to wvw? Like i want to have the same stats as if i was wearing knights ammy in spvp but in wvwik ammys have less stats so where do those stats go?

Glitch.6849:

Stop it Glitch get off the forums, stop with the Wall O’ Text and L2P Noob!!!

It’s me again

Hey everyone, my name’s Glitch

Probably most known for my eye-destroying posts, constant ramblings and the topic:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Helping-New-Players-Helping-New-Players-With-Dungeons/page/2#post406202

Okay now to get to the point of this thread

The point of creating this particular thread is that I have notice either newer/current players looking for others to game with.

So I thought:

Why not create a thread where people can post and look for others to game with?

So with great pride, I declare this thread officially open!

Hey i just thought of somethin u can add. You can maske a ventrilo chat room for ppl to join and chill while playing

Lol that sucks. Idk what server your on but im sorry. On my server, the chat is always filled with event timings and whenever i go to la, there is always players helping players also theres always a fun box up too i have no trouble finding groups for dungeon storirees. The age of your server and rep could have alot to do with it. Higher tier servers are better and more knowledgeable and expect players to know how to play. Maybe guest till u find a good server?

second that with some laggy areas but thanks =]

Thief in time warp using a short bow does not work, when i stand in a mesmers time warp, it shows the bar for shooting but i am just standing there and there are no numbers on the target. please fix. Also im not sure if this was intended but isnt the shortbow from the thief and the shortbow from the ranger suppose to have the same cd on auto attacking? if so then the thief is getting ripped off because we shoot slower

its not a platform wide problem so i dont know if they are fixing anything because plenty of mac players play just fine but jst try a fresh install or something

Ive been trying to decide which one i should go with =/ I like the filed with the leap finisher on d/p so i can stealth when i leap to him but i also like the shadow step on s/p. Please help!

dont do the pvp daily it doesnt count i just tried it

You should be able to deposit laurels in the bank

Lol my mac air gets 26-28 fps im fine no camera lag for me

Im a avid altaholic. i have 1 of every class and all are above 15 =p

why is there a commando pic just tlike all of the other classes in the wallpaper section? its near the bottom

1. Q: can an high -end Ranger 1 vs 5 low lvl ?
2. Q: can an high -end Eng 1 vs 5 low lvl ?
3. Q: can an high -end Warrior ….

1- 7 A: No
Result : thieves are pro’s and skilled, rest are bad

You forgot Eles can do 1v5 (possibly more, seen one do 8 once)

And mesmers casn and guardians and yes warriors can.

Its funny that thieves are like the bad guys in this game always the target of hate :p jst like thieves are hated in real life!

What if they had cosmetic mounts? Im not for mounts but for
Those that are, want them cause they r cool. They canhave miounts with no MS boost and when hit by mobs or players they disapear

I feel that if Anet wants to wuit the nerf complaints, in the future they would add more traits and weapon skills that lets the thief break away from damage and have more unique builds that can break off in to hybrid buiolds likree other profs tbh i would love to see a buffer thief… Like the burglar in lotro i feel having an invis buffer would be awesome for the team maybe drawing agrro whil buffing the team.

Well yea i feel that the finisher can help but not as much as a damage thief can because im sure someone else can grab an aoe finisher but even on damage thieves they can carry a Sb on second weapon and still use the finisher im talking lie real heal support with major buffs and stuff. stealth is a big buff but its the only one we can give unless traited in to trickery

For those of you who dont know, the Holy Trinity is based on class roles. In most mmo games, in a simpler explanation, dps-tank-heal/support. I feel that the other classes in this game have way more versatility in terms of team efforts.
Warriors- can tank and also buff teams or dish out damage.
Mesmers- Im new to mesmers but I know they can kite hard and buff really well. The also can throw out alot of damage.
Elementalist- obivously they can hit like a truck or they can go more defensive. They can also support with heals and some buffs
Engineer- I know they can throw out really high burst damage if built right. They can also support with turrets and healing along with elixirs. They can also be tanky on top of all this
Guardian- Bunker build obviously shows the true tank in this game. Guardians can also support with their utility skills and hit hard.

Now thief’s- The only way we can buff allies is with stealing and giving stealth. We can also give allies poison but that is if they are close enough. The main support ability we have is SR which if the other team isnt dumb then they will still do damage while you have SR up. So support builds are very hard to come by on thiefs but with some tweaks could be more viable. Increased range of venomous aura by a little. Also another little idea that could help is that when blinding powder is used, it also heals allies around you.

A defensive thief is ususally paired with either healing with signet of malice or paired with sustainable damage that way they can survive and still do damage. I feel the tanky thief would be a better choice then a support thief because when not in a group the support build thief is basically useless unlike other support builds in other professions in where they can usually take out enemies still. The build i run is a great build that is pretty tanky and can deal damage at the same time. I have about 20k hp and still deal 5-6k crits on BS.

An offensive thief is most commonly seen in gw2 imo. Obviously poeple run in to a GC thief and boom their dead. i feel that most thieves are forced in to this roles being a damage role because of all of the traits and skills available to us. I feel that thieves are most usefull as a burst damage role because its what works best. Just like the guardian bunker build can hold his own against a team of 5, thieves can destroy 1v1 or or even against 5v1.I am not saying this is bad I am trying to just maybe get some ideas on how others feel. I feel thieves shine in a light that most people hate because they can get blind sided and die almost instantly, but thats all we can do. there is no real support thief that can sustainably kill others on his own and its less helpful to go tanky because one: its hard to go tanky with out using stealth. and 2: thieves are more useful as a a damage role then any other.

So i feel that the holy trinity is kind of almost forcing thieves to always go a damage build and that is why we always see these nerf comments and post because thats where thieves shine and thats what thieves do.
I know that there are some support builds and some tanky builds with thieves but its just less viable and less contributive for a thief as the offensive thieve that can throw out lots of damage and conditions.

Anythoughts? also dont come in here raging i wont respond i didnt come here to argue i came here to get other peoples thoughts and opinions on where thieves stand. Bottom line is i think thieves are pushed to be damage roles IMO and just because people see so many of the damage burst thieves means that they are OP. Im sure if we saw just as much bunker build guardians they’d be saying the same things. Thanks!

“The point of the thief titlree is to be invisible kill in 1 or 2 blows and disappear thiefs are suppose to be sly and stealthy sorry you cant handle a gc thief”

nuff said…
theres so much wrong with what you just said…
it contradicts any reason to comment on it any further.

Lol why cause in right? Thiefs are street rats that try to be unseen and steal… Anet is jst playing to thier backgrounds

GanJoe.5374:

“Dodge button helps alot. Predict it. Wen i play against a thief i. Run circles and dodge often to try to keep him from landing hs or bs and if he hits his first move then dodge away right after because the burst is comin.”
- “80 Asuran thief. sPvP build: 20/30/20/0/0”

First of all… everything you listed helps vs EVERY class and is nothing thief specific… also its something the thief himself should and will utilize…
Second of all… that is such a typical thief answer to thief FOTM discussions… yet most fail to even see the point other classes make.
Dodge… move more… anticipate… foresee… common sense…
Strangely the thief class demands those defense maneuvers and enemy foresight on a whole different level than any other class would that you are going to try n counter.

imho all summed up with “ignorance is bliss”

Haha jst cause i have an 80 thief on my sig doesnt mean i play him all the time i also have a 45 mes 38 war and 53 necro and a 60 ranger all in which i rarely have problems taking out a gc thief the only prof i have trouble dealing with a thireef is my ranger and my only tanky spec char is my war.. Its not as hard as you think some people just need to see the obvious and if the thief was dmg nerfed then what would a thief have? Steady/ slow damage who can stealth and ruhn away? The point of the thief titlree is to be invisible kill in 1 or 2 blows and disappear thiefs are suppose to be sly and stealthy sorry you cant handle a gc thief

Dodge button helps alot. Predict it. Wen i play against a thief i. Run circles and dodge often to try to keep him from landing hs or bs and if he hits his first move then dodge away right after because the burst is comin.

i am over it doesnt mean its not annoying still

nope… path1 and 2 we rarely go path 3. we also use eles in TA and CM

Need more use foree this skill.. Maybe make a full 1 h dagger skills for 4/5

LOL eles asre great in dungeon. In AC we alwasys run with an ele with ice bowe. It wrecks everything in there. Those ppl are just dumb :p

Yea hundred blade warrior with 8 sec cd isnt imba

Running away doesnt help ive ran across the map avoiding mobs and i was still in combat it happens to me alot. Especially wen i get to vistas. At thast point i re logg but its reaslly annoying to have to log every time.

Of course, because of how it affects some weapon sets, the following changes are a must:

- Vital Shot needs a speed boost (to match its tooltip). Many users claim for this, that Pistol real need is for Vital Shot to be faster so it can properly stack bleeds. If Vital Shot gets Ranger Shortbow speed, then bleeds are a good source of damage without needing to spam Sneak Attack chains. As Sneak Attack wouldn’t be usable as often with this change, Vital Shot NEEDS this boost now to properly maintain bleeds. Body Shot could use something too to get an opportunity now that 2-3-4 would be “available more often”.

P/D may be hurt a bit (specially on 1 vs X fights), but with this change the bleed should be as maintainable as before (even more), and 3 is a very good skill to avoid melee opponents (a great skill for that indeed), and we all now a nerf is coming sooner of later anyway.

P/P gets access to some scaping and the possibility to go conditions thanks to increased speed on Vital Shot, and access to Snesk Attack on the set, which might be very good to open a fight with blinds and bleeds. This way not ALL the fight is 333333333333333333333333333.

- Tactical Strike (PvP version) should return to its previous 2 second daze. More seconds even if now you can’t spam it would be too much given how most dazes in the game are 1 second, with the 2 second ones having long recharges.

S/D style might be hurt a bit (at least you would get a compensation on the initial daze, and a way to scape if you screw things), and 3 could get some boost in compensation so the set can be solid and competitive.

S/P would get an scape tool, and a way to access its Stealth Skill.

D/D burst would work as fine as before (even better with the increased time to properly land the Backstab, so maybe its damage would be reduced a bit in compensation), except maybe for the D/D that were not that great on burst and used it the same way than P/D to keep landing backstabs over the fight.

D/P gets access to Backstab without needing to do a Leap Combo, being able to Stealth before the fight so it will get more use now, with D/D probably getting more use for venom builds.

Shortbow’s Surprise Shot doesn’t need a change, it was rarely available before, so being usable without using other set or utilities is a boost itself. Infiltrator’s Arrow no longer blinds, but it was generally used to scape and move, so the Blind was rarely used.

At the end, if all those changes are applied, we get an stealth that is used FOR THE REASONS it’s supposed to be used (open a fight and being effective at scaping it), instead of how it’s now being able to remain stealthed for half of the time, unlikIe most other games where you can’t even stealth once you’re in combat.

We get improvements to some builds with not much love, with the mentioned changes it doesn’t hurt so much existing builds (specially when the nerfbat is coming anyway for those builds, so better take benefits from it), and makes every weapon set able to use the Stealth Attacks profession mechanic (I will repeat it: it’s a profession MECHANIC, other professions don’t get extra skills when stealthed, so we should get easy access to them).

Culling is no longer such a big problem as it will be gone before we can stealth again, we get more use of our other skills and we’re able to scape whe we really screw things, justifying our VERY LOW HP that is supposed to be there because we can Stealth to survive, but right now not all weapon sets can do it. And it’s not a get out of jail free card as if you open a fight with Stealth, then you can be killed before you can use it agains, and AoEs will hit you so if you’re in the middle of something big you will die anyway.

I think it might solve some problems with some weapon sets, give us more survivality overal, less access to exploits and stop the cryes.

Would you like something like this?

I totally agree thast our weapons need some rework with stealth i cant go a steaslth build with out hasving stealth utility which kinda locks me in

It says it gives a 25% MS boost but when you equip it the icon only says 10…

Evalia.7103:

Amazing and cool game, but I’m still playing other games(not of the same genre) so I don’t feel bored :P
various top-down shooters(touhou? <3), MOBA (league of legends), classic games like chess and checkers :P. GW2 is mmorpg of choice. Variety makes the most fun, at least for me.

I used to play Hon and borderlands but those fell off the face of the planet after i started playing this lol

Why dont they just sue the same pathing as all the other classes that have pets? rangers pet the mesmers illusions and the thief’s thiefs guild? im not a programmer but i think it would make sense to have them use the same concept for all of them

Am i the only one who thinks that this is a great game? i mean yea it has glitches and bugs but what game doesnt….. even in the simplest of games there are glitches like mario 64 =D . well I for one love this game ive dropped all other games and played this non stop basically. Thanks Anet!

Farm find way points do vistas find Poi’s anything in map completion will boost your level fast. also hit up every dynamic event you come across. grinding is probably the last thing you want to do at lvl 10

Ive been lookin for a healing build =]

well that could very well be the problem age its self takes a toll on computers

Also how old is your mac and what model. And i would download onmisweeper to get rid of countless files that are stashed away hidden in your folders and if safari or what ever browser you use is slow (5-7 sec load time ON AVERAGE) then it would be good to pick up a free virus scanning program just to make sure. Last time my comp was slow i had a virus and i got rid of it before it got bad. If none of this hreelps maybe you should grab an external hard drive and take important files and things you need and put it ion the hard drive. Then reinstall your osx lion. If you do this be sure to format your external hard drive in the disk utility to mac. Most externals default to windows 64 bit. Good luck!

Bootcamp is good but i do not suggest it. First yoku have to partition part of you memory deticates to bootcamp. Then you need to get a windows disk which is n ok big deal but thr install is not stable. I have a mac air and i tried doing this and it made my harddrive malfunction which made it not mount on start up meaning my hard drive was not found when i turned my comp on. It took about 30 resarts for it to work. Eventually i took it back to apple and got a newe one but that coulf just be a 1 ina million chance that it happened.

A more reasonable idea is playing in windowed mode. Alsok dont keep your screen res at 1440. The lower the more fps youll get!

I vote for a native client too. Im very addicted to this game lol. I only have 1 lvl 80 and i already purchased char slots to make room for the rest.

Mystogan.4157:

Run it windowed and not on 1440×900 or whatever the mac is. When i run fullscreen 1440 i get 20 standing 15-18 fighting when i ruhn it windowed on 1160? I get 26-28 standing and 22-24 fighting. When i run it okn the lowest i getlike 34 standing. Also you probably know but id close out other programs running. I usually have safari itunes and vent(chat for guild) up.

Also what is your RAM?
