Guild Wars 2

Just walk the other direction.

Night Hawk Ix.7360:

Can a officer from TC’s [yumm] please msg me ingame, I want to speak to them about something.

Leader here. Whats up?

I would just make this kitten simple. Give toughness when you enter stealth.

This is just stupid.

I just want to know how to do it 8D

Meh. Just someone kittening around. Killed them before but they aren’t doing much of anything.

Chewy.9263:

Especially that greatsword… mmmm

oh myyyyyy……

did anyone else notice that they look small when stowed away but get much bigger when you play with them?

Fox.3562:

Nice GvG between GF and RE. Too bad Tarnished Coast has so many pugs who want to grief. Must come with being a large server though.

some people…

Maybe offer a soulbound version for hours and hours of work? Like a list of achievement similar to the new events where a box will spawn with a ticket allowing you to claim one soulbound version of the precursor needed. I don’t know just an idea.

DanH.5879:

it would be great if it would replace a useless minor trait somewhere
(example would be the shadow arts tree, the last which gives might on stealth)
or the one on trickery the +1%dmg per initiative … it’s useless for a condition (tree) build really…

Might on stealth is amazing. That’s 70 power every time you cloak and dagger. It also stacks VERY quickly for being a passive add on to what you’re already doing. I have to agree that the 1% dmg per initiative is kinda pointless in the condition tree unless it affects your condition dmg too. Maybe change that to 1% condition duration per initiative. The only good place I can see where swapping it out would be the Last Refuge trait. Just make that trait the “new” ambush and turn ambush into a free pocket thief when stunned or something stupid like that.

Professor Sensei.2941:

I learned something months ago. Watch your hp bar. Cool thing is you can actually use it to your advantage if your not spamming 2 all day long.

Its not our fault, if you cant dogde this.

Wat? I don’t uderstand what you mean by dodging but w/e. Personally when I know I’m getting “low” or focused below 50% hp (keep in mind I rock a 12K hp bar with almost no armor) I know my last refuge will trigger soon. Simply dodge roll and hit my heal skill. Most likely situation is my heal will go off when someone is channeling a skill or use a chunk of dmg triggering my Last Refuge and heal at the same time. This stacks the stealth nicely. Combining this with Infusion Of Shadow, Shadow’s Embrace, and Shadow Rejuv I get a almost full condition clear and heal.

If this is true. Shadow Trap has now been added to my bar for the rest of the time I play this game. Thief has now become god mode.

Why do you keep reviving this thread…?

I would love to see an option to use Badges of Honor for tower/supply/keep/castle upgrades. Right now it seems like WvW is one of the biggest money sinks in the game but has the lowest income attached to it at the same time. This would help shave the costs down and make your net income go up (provided that you actually upgrade towers for your server). Maybe even offer a gold/badge cost too similar to getting the WvW armor just in case you got a little money to spend but not enough badges.

A nice cherry on top would be to see armor damage to just be taken out when your in WvW. I like the whole out manned “buff” and all but I feel as though you should never be punished for another players actions in a game. Plus it goes along with the whole retaining your WvW profits.

Anyways…whats y’all’s opinion?

Don’t use your hide in shadow and blinding powder at the same time. Waste of a utility skill.

thing is – remaining perma stealth – you sacrifice alot of possible damage…cant cap. only scout

Are you joking? I ALWAYS take 30 in shadow arts to maximize my stealth and seeing a 10K+ back stab is nothing special for me. You just don’t know how to build a thief.

you dont understand …READ my post = YOU DONT DO ENOUGH DAMAGE IN STEALTH…. at most, you can caltrops/choking gas someone. still not enough damage…
if you deal damage in stealth, you break stealth…clearly you dont know thieves OR how to read.

Woah man calm down. Just assumed you considered that nobody stays in perma stealth unless they are scouting a zerg. lolololololol

I go 100% zerk on everything. Do amazing damage. Just learn how to dodge and manage your /D 5. Win.

Holy kitten. This is a stupid thread. So what if it was nerfed. Use something else. I almost NEVER take this skill.

MarauderKing.4572:

Great fights on FABL – we finally got to bring the FIRE naked zerg to T2 and we appreciate the support from CO and the other folks who participated! Lots of fun and flipping was had!

And running…all we saw ya’ll do all night was wipe and run.

The maps are balanced and I wouldn’t like to see a thing changed to them. The only thing I would MAYBE want to see is an “look” change where the three borderlands aren’t just copy paste versions of each other. Maybe make one themed more like Orr and another like the shiver peaks. Nothing different in design just how they look.

Well DB it sure is fun that you don’t thief sweep. Makes taking your towers all too easy.

Alright so the “buff” came out a long time ago now. No change actually happened. Same as swiftness. Still useful when it comes to dashing around and landing back stabs but still It would be nice to truly be the most mobile class and utilize this trait to its fullest.

The downed state is awesome. Give players a reason to go balls deep. Frankly in WvW if you get downed its become a major burden for your team to res you. I always down someone, throw my thief SB 4 on their body. Then begin to trick shot and cluster bomb anyone to goes for the res. Usually results in a 2 for 1 kill

Just skill lag. I don’t care about special skins or anything. The lag just kills me.

I have yet to see a stealth trap. Been zerging all night. I love the new traps. Laugh my kitten off every time I throw a supply trap down in the middle of a zerg (in stealth of course) then see a troll-nado appear.

It works. I assume there is a cap on movement speed out of combat but I can assure you it works.

Im Not So Nice.2360:

Nice attempt at OL in EB, FA. I guess this new guy didn’t know how to fire an AC at a gate. Or how to call out when there’s a 30+ man zerg when it’s right in front of him, ramming down a gate. It’s okay, we’ll teach him.

You guys sure did pick the perfect gate to hit, though. I wish I had that kind of foresight.

Actually saw that fight happening. Was kinda rooting for it to end. Skill lag out the pooper.

I don’t know why something like this is happening in a game mode that is meant for massive fights. It seems that once a keep fight starts its a red flag that you can no longer count on any of your skills to work. Not to mention how bad it gets if a three way fight starts at a garrison or Stone Mist. I know there are other threads about this issue but enough is enough. It’s honestly making me want to stop doing WvW and seeing as thats why I play this game…

Travlane.5948:

the 45 min one is fake right?

edit OIC> they stack up on thief. cool

I didn’t post the 45 min one…lol.

Wtf the screen shot I made wasn’t fake. To the smart kitten idiots who think it is go to sPvP, have your buddy roll and engi, have him use the mortar elite, when we gets the stability just rip it off him. When he gets back on it gives him the 2 min stability buff again. Once again just rip it off him.

@Riko
Wat……………….?

Auesis.7301:

Run the Dredge Fractal.

My record:

Protection: 8 minutes+
Swiftness: 6 minutes+
Regeneration: 8 minutes+
Might: Close to perma-20 stacks while in combat unassisted (doesn’t last after a fight is finished like the other boons do)

I…I want your children. Btw it took like maybe 10 seconds to stack the boon that high for me

title says it all. thieves are the master race.

30/0/30/10/0
God mode in WvW.
Share venom and heal endlessly.
Signet of Malice + Dagger Storm → Leeching Venom + Residual Venom + (Any Venom)
For weapons use any one handed and go Sigil of Endurance + Sigil of Restoration
Endless Dodging + Endless Healing + Massive Damage = God Mode

~Have fun

HuntsForge.3260:

Where are you climbing down? When I go down the middle i end up here

It’s not on the inside but the outside. Slide down the wall (outer) until you fall off Rata Sum itself. Shortly after that you will hit an invisible wall that will kill you instantly. If you survive it like I did (just cast death shroud) then you will be ported to the prison.

Thats nothing compared to my damage

It’s by far the best elite skill for theives. Timed with a D/D burst it can be the end of someone.

Actually I know 4 different towers you can “scale” with infiltrators arrow if you know the right spots. Reported the all but still. There are TONS of spots you can get into if you know how to “use” the skill.

No. No no no no no.

^ Exactly why I don’t do that but i’ve kittened around with it for kittens and giggles

PearlGore.7419:

I’ll try it out I dont use assasin signet much. Will see what I can get!

Be sure to take signets of power from the crit line too. You will have 7 stacks by the time you get to your back stab. If you’re feeling really frisky you can also use venomous might to take your stacks up to 9. If your REALLY frisky you can remove shadow refuge and go ahead and throw in a extra venom on your utility bar jacking those stacks up to 11 or a extra signet making it 14 stacks. Finally if your REALLY REALLY REALLY frisky you can take spider venom as your “extra” venom then throw on leeching venoms for the extra kittens and giggles.

How? I have 30 Crit Strikes and 30 Shadow and 10 Acro but never see more then 6-7K BS crits unless I built a bunch of might on a PvE boss. Share with a fellow Toaster!

Full zerk gear, 10/30/30/0/0 setup. Skill combo is Basilisk Venom→ Assassin signet→Cast Cloak And Dagger →Steal(mug) →Land Cloak And Dagger →Back Stab →Finish with some auto attacks.

Travlane.5948:

CND only does vulnerability 1300 dmg and invis upon successful hit for 6 intiatiave :P thats what mine says. :/ theres other more powerful skills in the game if u “add” traitable effects to them…but CND is def in the top 10!

Well obviously I was referring to the trait-ed effects after the fact but what skill does even more than that? o-O

Rayya.2591:

i don’t have problems against assura mesmers, target and kill the real one.
However when i fight an assura party i have no ideea how many they are)

I actually fought like 4 asuran mesmers once that all “twinked” each other. Most confusing fight of my life. Thank god for dagger storm…

Arganthium.5638:

Mine reads

“Wastes 6 initiative.”

Huh. That’s odd.

Are you S/D? Or just a sarcastic kitten hole?

Yes and no. Hit boxes are all the same. Target boxes are all the same. The only REAL difference is how tunnel visioned your opposing players are. Some people might just stop and stare at the massive norn running around with twilight rather than the little asuran who keeps popping clones and has nothing fancy on. As for mesmer sweeps it is a little nicer because you can “fit” in little holes around towers and keeps.

Mine reads the following…

-Gain stealth for ~4 seconds
-Apply 3 stacks of vulnerability for 5.5 seconds
-Gain the regeneration boon for 5 seconds
-Gain 2 stacks of might for 15 seconds
-Next hit has 100% critical chance for ~4 seconds
-Gain passive regeneration for ~4 seconds
-Restore 2 initiative
-Deal 1,359~ damage

Mainly started this thread to show off the power of this skill and to see how other people gear themselves to use it.

I think that when I back stab a target I should get stabbed in the back too.
