Guild Wars 2

Agree the nerf was needed.. But glade to see a patch focusing mainly on buff

Haha I find it funny:D

My Guardian.. though haven’t played on him since I am waiting for us to clear grenth temple.. and fooling around on a elementalist.. But love his durability, support, healing and dmg.. hate his lack of mobility xD give us a 25% movement speed signet and RtL:P

I am a d/d and is an easy kill:)
Weapon set and armour can only do soo much.. But ele is about awareness and using the right element/skill to counter or preassure your opponent action:)
And going from one-trick-pony thief to bunker guardian and now to ele I am beginning to see a patter…

All professions are OP.. Well that means balance? Only profession I see that annoys every profession is Mesmers.. But they usually flees:D

Well.. I guess my idea are more realistic than your idea mr troll^^

Well.. I guess my idea are more realistic than your idea mr troll^^I just say the art of the drawing and thought “why not?”
If you want to change the topic to legendary, I just want to do something legendary to get it.. Not like grind this and that:) but that’s another story along with the commander’s compentium:)

I like to see some new foci?(focuses? Foci)
And one of them should be the drawing from the refugees I like that childish drawing and pretty sure that would help my char to focus when casting spells:D

Bars for food, minis, oils and macroes evolving emotes.
Being able to use tables and chairs.
More armour, maybe even some heavy looking light and medium, light looking medium and heavy etc..

Don’t u get e revive from downed players? Any way saving them from repair cost is better.. Plenty of npc’s to revive

Thx for the response:) and thx for the change of the title^^
Yeah I must say the really put a lot effort in the details.. Even the smallest settlement.. Or some random carpets with patters, pictures of concept art, people teasing each other and more:D can only recommend other people to seek out these gimmicks:)

I do not know what subforum it belongs under.
But here it goes.
I have been leveling a thief and a guardian.. I see that this game has a lot of issues in form of balance, bugs and more.. I have complained about nerf before bug correction.. I sometimes found this game very dull and repeatative though you manifest suggest otherwise.. I miss some feature from the manifest..
But no I am leveling a elementalist in my own pace (lvl 30 took nearly a day).
And I think I own you an apology.. And a thanks.

For just roaming around and looking at the details you but into the places it is just amazing. You done a great job, so between the QQ’s and more you deserve some credite.. And the music.. From the classical (Greig inspired?) and deep cello, to more faste pace, it is in such good harmony.. Really enjoy the game after I just slowed down and notice the effort you but into it.

Kind regards
A pleased part-time gamer

Hehe got to agree with the last postes, since I got both professions:b
As thief you can do this.. But for what? One cheap kill.. You are useless in any other aspect, and if caught of guard nearly any profession will kill you in a blink of an eye.

As for guardians, a well played guardian can be a hell to be up against.. Takes forever to down.
Then we also most remember that 1v1 is a minamal part of the game, or at least it should be. So in a group he this thief might not benefit too much with interuption and the like.

Isn’t the guardian a fighter?
And also think you count you voting wrong.
I would say guardians… That is why they have been nerfed since day one.. Without even fixing the professions first:)

Well on my thief I enjoy the freedom.. But miss the group support.. i guess with 20% less CD on 2h and +boon duration, bamm you got nearly perma swiftness:). And you can freely change weapon without think ohh snap used all my initiative on infitrator’s arrow..

I totally agree and hope that Anet is aware of this along wi the useless Zeal-traitline.
They could make Hammer the zeal line, lower the CD til 25-30 on RoW and make it instant. Fix issue with player being able to jump over the lines.. It is just lame tbh.

All in all they should just take a deep look on all weapon set.. i am not saying they all suck, but most of them (for every prof) could use some fixes. Also going back and forth between my guardian and thief.. Just really miss the initiativ point system on my guardian, gives a certain amount of freedom.. So if you screw up, you do not have to wait xx sec, unless u spam.. But why spam..

Like that you are such a big fan of EM, even though it is demed worthless due to internal CD. I like the idea behind the trait, but would rather reduce 2h skill with 20% and even go for staff which give a higher stack of might.

AH is “selffish” but in the good sence. It forces you to apply boons to the group in return of heals, not bad tbh.

But wth if it works for you it works for you:)

Dunno about a build, since Zeal is not good for us.. But I occassionly use spiritweapons to put preassure on my enemies.
Also if they worked a bit more like the rangers spirits in terms of the CD it would be better.. That would mean you would be able to have sword up nearly permanent (except for the casting time).
Which I would find better.. In fact I think you maybe should chose one spirit weapon to have permanent and the others could be called.. Would look neat for a norn guardian with mistfire wolf.

Though if that happens ofc they had to nerf the dmg a bit maybe.. Or maye not.. Well nearly perma spirit weapons thank you, and no I do not find it op:) okay the hammer can be annoying, but mostly the AI is so lame so I can easily escape em or focus down the guardian:D

I switch all the time.. That is why I am so pure.. Need like a set every situation, like playing a hybrid in WoW.
My biggest regret is that I rolled human instead of Norn-__-’
But well give us 2-4k more base health.. I hate that my thief got more health than my guardian (or same amount if specced and equipped with same gear’n’stuff).

That said guardians are op^^ even my mesmer friend find em hard to tackle from time to time.

Well I don’t find the seige weapons weak against players… Especially not when you coordinate some good CC infront of em.

Memes? Just reference.. Keep memes out of it..
Like the reference. Without em the game would be well alienated I think.

Random good loot is fun.. Endless farming isn’t.
That’s why I usually stick to pvp in most mmos since you earn your reward:) True still “farming” kills or emblems but doing it is fun imo:)

Exception with the badges in WvW, I think I most do too less dmg cause I get fewer badges than my teammates.. And then they say support i visible.
No innovation in this mmo:/ But still better than WoW imo.

I was just taking a break for my bachelor project and came across this:
http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?108591-Guild-Wars-Eye-of-the-North&s=0cc1e2dcda6313bd2e8344db1094f96b
(You have to copy the link)

I mean stunning artwork, I even think one of it was inspired by Howls moving Castle:b
But I would like to see more “monster” and beasts in Guild Wars.. You done a fantastic job with most of the monsters already in GW2. But seems a bit trival now:)

I know it is a bit too late for the next big update, but try to get some more beasts in in the future.. Love the nightmare, the all teeth-mouth monster etc. They do not have to overpopulate the game, maybe even make em a bit rare:)

Also a I can believe you created such a vivid and beautiful world, and even though it is like a painting, seems living, but in fact it is dead. Don’t have an solution to this:/

Firstly I thought thief.. ain’t gonna be my cup of tea..

But then when I got bored on my Guardian, me and a friend tried all professions out in sPvP.
I loved the inniative-system, even though it is hidden CDs, it made me feel, and still does, like I was in control. I decided how often I would use my ability, and didn’t have to resort to a second best option due to one of my skills was on a CD.
Also shadowstep and the overall mobility.. I hated that my guardian was soooo slow..

So since then I played thief… the dmg? Well still feel that my guardian does a bit more in his survival build contra my thiefs buils, but he is still too slow xD

If they nerf thief to oblivion I might go Ele, just for ride on lightning xD nearly as awesome as shadowstepping.

Cool vid, a few green arrows, but hey what to expect in wvwvw.
I kinda agree with you, only thing you can use head shot for is to interruption.. and u really have to time it right, I mean for the heals.
Dunno if signet of malice would be better due to Unload spam, you could try it.
Also as mentioned keybind your skills, it could save you a few seconds:)

You mention you are not the best, but you are certainly not the worse either, and good to see the P/P in action.

I was going to write a spiteful response, but thought " narh.. if the bloody mess this game up, I can just stop"

I play a thief because I love shadowstep and inniative-system.. but if guardians didn’t moved so darn slow I would pick them since i love support my team.

Last time I cheched you couldn’t cap in stralth. It didn’t move the bar at all.
The invis stomp, well as guardian no prob imo. And I guess other classes got knockback as well.
Debuff for stealth is already there. Max stealth dura is 13 sec with a 1min CD and traited.
Else it is only 3 sec and u got a 3 sec debuff.
Mesmers can stalth as well:)
Stealth is our weak form for stability.
Imo try play a thief. If it is too easy, try an ele.

Trolling? Cause u have 3 sec stealth, low armour and health.. Ad then just pray that you hit your target.

At lowlvl my guardian was best.. But due to my mobility on my thief he quickly advanced passed my guardian.

Well with our mobility we can CC. I don’t feel OP or UP.. On my guardian I can feel OP.. But UP when I have to escape

The 5 sec stealth on downed state is too powerfull imo:) make it 2-3 max. Cause it is like both or downed ability in one move. And make a CD for 60sec.

Hmm this tread bugs a bit.

Haha nice bug:D and they whine over backstab.. Here we got ranged 40k + dmg^^

Warriors can get 1500 range
Rangers 1500
Engineers 1500
So three profession:)
Guardians got 1&2 at 1200
Mesmers got 1&2 at 1200 (not totally sure
Elementalist and necroes got staff for 1200’ though necroes are forces to use ground target abilities like engineers.
Thieves got one ability at the range of 1200, ground target aoe bleed, most like engineers 1, just a bit slower.

Great idea:)
May I suggest u merge it with
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Things-that-could-use-a-buff
Since it already got the devs attention. The poison idea is brilliant!

Maybe merge with

Bond.4813:

I was gonna let it pass but since you used “skill” card..
I play thief, ele, necro and warrior on 2 accounts. Just how easy thief playing is is unbelivable. I simply dont die in 1vs1 or even 1vs2-3 unless i make major mistake. Cloth i down in 2s, warriors/guardians last 5s (not counting shield block and other immunity to dmg). I easily do 20k dmg on non tanky cloth by pressing 1 button that i can spam.
So how is it skill when other classes cant even respond before beeing downed? I down most players before i hit 80% hp. How is that skill? How is that lack of opposing players skill?

For comparison take this: 2 days ago i was palying my full bunker ele. Was fighting vs engineer, guardian and another ele (ele was uplvled). Engineer and guardian were well equipped considering their dmg output and quite good players. Fight lasted unbelivable epic 30 min and i scored 2 kills. Best fight of my gw2 life, i did everything right with no mistakes. Than comes random thief and downs me in 2s from full hp. kitten he was skilled, right?

Are you biased like the rest of us? Maybe they are easy. But doesn’t mean that you don’t need skills to play it, maybe you just played terrible bad against that thief. Maybe you did some mistakes.. Or maybe he was just better than you with full exotic.

Also please can we write “thieves”?:)

Think is does too low dmg to be really visible.. Well unless you find players with green arrows^^ if they do not dodge it is good since it is range.. But else.. Yah.. And still too small range imo:\ shame though for love the lvl 80 karma gear and dual pistol look

Well there is a trait that makes you hit harder for each niative you got.. Maybe that could just be intergrated in the thief.. So thou you would still generate init fast, you would be punish in form of dmg for spamming too much:)

These treads always turns into fights of opinions with no evidens, not that they are needed.
Maybe we should let thieves stay in thier subforum and so for the other professions. If you wanna suggest a nerf go to the suggestion subforum, if you disagree, great. But no need to be so offensive in your statements.
I do agree that most QQ do it out of rage and with little reason, though that is my opinion. Though just balance adjustment os needed, but not only for thieves.
We could incluede:
Mesmers, not that bad, also mostly skilled players, but they got some great, close to op, asseset.
Engineers, though some kits are broken, they still got insane mobility, yeah this come from a thief, and surprise very good dmg despite what some would try to prove wrong.
Warriors.. Were do I begin with warrior? Well first of all they need some fixes with misses and so, but they are very powerful and close to being canned assassins.
Guardians are powerful n bunke builds.
Elementalist are very powerful in contrerary to common belief, but need skills, so actually okay with that.

We could go on, but I think Anet should focus on fixing, as stated so much before, and not balancing.. How do you balance around broken stuff? It would simple be stupid imo.

First I was up for a lot of rework for this profession.. But I become more and more sceptical. I mean lower intiative reg would force us to manage it carefully, but then they need to let us keep or burst, since we can’t spam those high numbers.
I can compared it to warriors or engineers, those got CD, our init, as ppl stated, are both Cds and GCD for both weapon set. So strong if you are good at manage it, weak if you spam HS.

Also n side-note to stealth nerf and other things, just be careful you not render it useless, or even worse take out the fun in it. We SHOULD be high on dmg and mobility, no doubt imo.
If they nerf us, they have to nerf other profession in the future, and this will make those even more lacklust… Nerfing is usually bad.

My suggestion is to report them to the suggest forum since a nerf is a suggestion:D
They already removed several to the trashcan, since the moderators realised that they don’t fit in here.

I use it for the multiple stack of bleed:) the dodge mechanism is poorly designed imo:)

Ohh the change pf daggerstorm animation is a great suggestion.. It really looks silly.. Why not just make it shurikens and make your char throw them wildly around or something.

Or you could meet up on the same server. Wouldn’t be easier and take lesser time than to post this QQ?
It is not pvp only, but since wvw is a great mix of pe and pvp, yeah it had to fixed.

I kinda miss the raid aspect.. The feeling of 40 men downing a great big something.. And where every 40 men jave to coordinate or something.. Well maybe just 10-25.. Still feels more epic than just 5:)

I miss the interaction with object not being enviromental weapons.. Such as chairs, tables, food on the tables, drinks on the tables etc. I miss an arena where u can fight ppl from your own server.

I miss fishing, or well just fish for my cooking.

I miss Canthan…

Cris Croix.2370:

Like Magnetic said, its the Duelist set.

Then there is no reason to say it again I guess;b

But thanks, never thought of scrolling down, thought it was just commercials:D so next time I just have to study the pages a bit more:) good now I just need a helm that looks a bit like heavy armour, so I can get an armoured thief.

Hehe if what he is saying is true.. Who should then handle necroes? He says that necroes should dps, suck dmg, dot and get stronger the longer the fight last. Ehhh so with no burst what to do with the necroes.. Just flee xD think thief should be the hit’n’run.. Qucik dmg and CC and escape.

My five cent:

Weapon skills

Sword:

Flanking strike: parry and incoming attack and shadowstep behind the foe to strike them in the back inflicting bleeding.

Dagger off-hand

Dancing dagger: well maybe lower the dmg output a bit:) I myself abuse it but I agree that it can be a bit too strong against rangers or two ppl staying too close to each other:)

Pistol main hand:

Piercing shot to the knee: shot two bullets at the foes knee cripple him and strike foes behind him in a straight line, this can be performed while not facing the foe (just for an awesome animation like the shortbow:D) if equipped with pistol off hand you shot one bullet from each pistol:D

Pistol off hand:

Head shot: daze the enemy and cause vulnability (or maybe give a group buff for 2 sec fury) the one which is less OP and still makes sense.

Infiltraitors bullet: create a smoke screen at your position and shadowstep X ft backwards.

Again the last one is not as strong as infiltraitors arrow since you cannot decide where you go, the upside is that it is faster to use and create smokescreen for blind if you shot through it or stealth if you leap through it.. So I decided for X as range.. Cause I wanted it to be 900 so we got an alternative instead of being forced to use shortbow if we want to escape, but then again 600 or 400 would match the leaps we got which would be great for retreat and stealth tactics. And how great wouldn’t it be to see a thief spamming this xD leaping backwards leaving small patches of smoke xD

Tl:dr make pistol off-hand a mobile option so we both got shortbow and pistol off-hand to flee with. Not OP since they share CD (red. Initiative).

Range issue. I would make steal, shortbow and maybe pistol 1200 range. Not sure about pistol, like the 900. Steal can be achieved through trait which should be removed. Real range profession would still have longer range if traited.

Traits:

“Ricochet” should be replaced with “explosive shells” making all of you bullets exploed for a small 1 sec burn and aoe. Maybe remove the burn since unload would be too awesome:D idk since some think unload is low on dmg it could be creat but don’t want to force trait just because ppl like the gunslinger type.
Move this trait to the critical strike so there is more synergy between the traits.. Don’t want to spread em out too much, just make em interesting enough so ppl want to spread it out.

Remove “haste” and improve “critical hast” til 20-25% with 45 CD. I know less skillbased and more RGN based, but then it is harder to do the “hast” + every multiple hit combo unless u are very aware on when it prox.. Maybe make an animation for the prox or sound.

Remove “ankle shot” and replaced withn"explosive shells"

Move “mug” down and let it replace the old “long reach”. I think the trickery trait line should give you the choice of making steal a support option or more selfish sololike:)

Remove “improvisation” down to trickery and make it refresh what is on CD or the one with longest CD, not just random between traps, venoms, signets etc.

Last replace “Hasten replenishment” with “Hidden crew”, remove “Hidden thief” from Shadow Art. “Hidden crew” create a 2sec shadow refuge at the spot you shadowstep to.

“Hidden thief” replaced with “master of shadows” reduce the debuff after stealth “revealed” by 1sec. Hope it is not to OP.

Profession mechanism

Steal: shadowstep to a target and steal an ability. Range 1200, CD 35-40 ( untraited ) just feel like we should be able to use it some more like other professions. I know it is powerfull, but so are others. But at least not as bad as adrenalin xD

Steal with no target (get a message that you got no target). Steal with target out of range.. Hmm either u shadowstep towards him as gap-closer (then not totally waste) or just go on 2-3 sec CD.

That’s it for now. Please come with feedback, might be biased a bit and some abilities are a bit too op.

Cheers for the link:) but as I mentioned it is either called “leather” or as in this case “named”. And don’t think that is the in-game name:)

I trying to find the ninja outfit, the one matching mad kings outfit. But can’t find a name only “named” or “leather”.
Any one got a clue:)?

It is called leather on this side
http://www.gw2armorgallery.com/human-medium.htm

Well at least make it an option. I mean ppl who don’t like it can just not use it;) I like the idea for screenshots and so on.
