Everyone is typing paragraphs about this….. Guys. It’s not that complicated really. Thief evade buffs are also a curse. It’s all timing guys. A nanosecond after half dodge go ahead and cast your skill unless it is instant cast. Then you have to cast a little after the second “Swivel” of the thief dash. (asuming most thieves use Unhindered Combatant). The other dodges are even easier to time. Right before he hits the ground for instant casts. TIMING.

basically you looking for +1 fight . on even fight you couldnt contribute much and if being target you have to bail out

basically same thief pros and cons

versus sustain class you cant do much 1v1 and versus high dmg class like thief its 50% win loss .

i didnt manage to see the pros about weapon choice in this fight over the d/p

Yes indeed this is more of a team fighting daredevil build. I can 1v1 no problem most of the time. The main problem i run into is cleric healers that cant die and cant kill. And condi burst I can take. Only certain power builds can kill me really cuz at the end of the day im still a thief. If they target me that makes it better for my team cuz im just gunna evade everything as the enemy wastes their cc’s on me.

As far as other thieves, they cant keep up with me. All i have to do is pistol whip when u get close or when u go invis for the backstab. And evade all the d/p 3 skills and waste ur initiative. by the time u catch me..my team has rotated. (given i have a good team)

one weakness im finding about this build is for teams that would normally rely on thiefs insane burst say for instance 2 bunkers 1 healer and a condi on my team. It gunna be hard to win fights if the other team has at least one healer. 11k vit thieves can still insta gib if they burst it right. Also warrior gs axe/shield crit builds are a problem at times. other than that….A condi reaper catching u of guard can be deadly.

The damage is more in sword auto than anything else. The #3 on both sets are strictly for utility. Ur job is to completely shut down any skill the target is using and to stop their movement, while providing decent damage.

I would recommend running a shrio rev, an aura mancer healer ele, A condi burn reaper(or some type of condi), and a gs power warrior(or some type of aoe crit damage).

This build is perfect for running duo with any mesmer build too!

why do u play so close with the camera x.x

I usually play like this with melee classes/builds because I can see the animations better whether it be mine or the enemies. And I can time my dodges more accurately rather than “blind dodging”, I save more dodges and initiative this way.

Ill give that a try bro. I’ve been doing alot of testing and what i have so far…. counters just about everything. What i need help on isn’t so much survivability but to add as much damage without sacrificing too much of my survivability. Especially condi bursts.

I switched blackpowder to Assassins signet and changed the amulet to zerker. Which i did see a difference in numbers. But them waiting till i switch to s/p to burst me puts me in a choke hold without stealth options. I even tried bound dodge (the one that adds damage), and I definitely saw a difference in damage but then the condis….

I can pretty much evade all the power build bursts with any variant of this build. My main problems are condi clear if im not running the first build mentioned as is. And in almost all variants, damage is sometimes too low epecially for heal classes(which is why I added poison sigils).

What do you think?

Ill give it a try kash! And frowny i have tried multiple breakers and as i do need another one, I find that make them untarget me is more important. Cant tell u how many times im stuck in s/p and i have to stealth before 2 reapers and a berserker burst me. Bandits defense will block everything for a while but as soon as its over they still have me targeted and are chasing me hard. Plus blinding powder+pistol 5 has helped me res teamates where as BD wont. I feel like that skill is more selfish than anything else. Ill post another video where you can see more strengths and weaknesses of this build. and ur right about DH traps.

Guys i solved the problem check me out!!!
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/VIDEO-AZ-s-Swordmaster-build/first#post6205969

One of the biggest misconceptions i find with sword users is that, they think sword is supposed to be all damage like dagger main hand. They get so used to the big numbers they hinder swords ability to survive just about anything. The thief is king of not getting hit. And curing self ailments and all around debuffing and debilitating the foe. What I did in this build Is manage to keep alot of the damage and add more condition removal and defenses cuz right now i think we all can agree that a condi team of 2 reapers and burn war a condi mes and a block burn guard is terrifying. This build can tank any professions entire burst especially condi. You have just enough vitality to tank warrior GS Axe/Shield burst until u stun break.

With this build thieves can still insta gib you but they have to be 11k. Your defense against this would be obviously the many evades thief has access to. Also this build isnt the best 1v1 build as i have trouble killing sage condi warriors by myself. But this build excels in team fights. Cripple,immobilize, endless stuns, blind, and boon removal all in conjunction with who ever you main damager is will kill anyone. The damage from this thief build is still considerably high though. try it out! Give me a video like when you own with it!

Hey guys I have a rather interesting thief build for you all. S/d and s/p. The synergy is actually pretty darn good. The sacrifice is less damage in exchange for a HUGE buff in survivability, utility, and over all team fight up time. You know that thief thats there for like 5 seconds then has to leave combat meanwhile u guys are being outnumbered till the thief gets back? Dont be that guy anymore. Try my build out. And i do have higher damage variants coming soon. `AZ TOLD YOU FIRST!

Rastaman.9015

Hey all you may have seen some of my posts of my random games of me failing at gw2 lol. Im making a return to the gw2 community and overall just having fun with our favorite game. For now im just posting full games until im comfortable with my video editing skills to make a montage.

QUEST: I need a video intro for my videos simply. For now Im just using random video clips and such with my music I made for the intro. Just something to trademark and introduce each of my videos. Something that becomes familiar to my audience.

Ok I need the intro short and sweet. Think of a movie intro when the publishers flaunt their business names. Like how universal studios does or for my anime fans, something like TV Tokyo. I dont know how to use premier yet so I cant do 3d effects as of yet. My channel name is AZsocrAZ, but a simple AZ would suffice. Don’t worry about the background music as I am a professional producer. Ill handle that part.

COMPENSATION: I dont have much money but if you only talk money, and I have no other choices then I guess id have to agree to a REASONABLE price. BUT instead id rather barter. I can make you any music you need for your project as like i said before, music is my specialty.

I made a rather beginners luck logo in photoshop to suffice my channel for now and I only plan to grow. Become part of this movement! Become GREAT. Hug a quaggan!

Lower Dagger Storm cooldown

in Thief

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

I’m with sagat that it should be considered a trick so that the lower trick cool down trait could be used. The same way Rangers elite root is a survival skill. I’d personally reduce damage from this elite and lower the cool down anyway cuz it’s mainly used for reflects a apposed to damaging. It’s more like one of thief’s gtfo of here buttons.

ANET DO SOMETHING PLEASE

in Thief

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

I feel like thief is a very hyper active game play style and if not pushing 5 buttons at the same time constantly you are doing it wrong. I personally have thousands of hours on thief and hundreds of pvp games on thief, and have leveled 3 thieves to 80 not that it means anything but I have plenty of experiences on my thief. Based on what I’ve experienced as a thief people expect me to tank. For example I’m roaming with a Guardian we encounter a couple enemy. The Guardian eventually complains that he gets targeted by everyone. However valid this complaint is, the game produces an environment where thief receives all the hate. I personally say the thief needs more ways to benefit the teammates rather than himself. Boon sharing was a step in the right direction. Then recently venoms became more team friendly. But boons and venoms is not what teams want from the thief. The teams want the thief to take on some of the damage and also to dish out a lot of the damage. The one thing stopping a thief from doing both of these is aoe pressure. The thief cannot survive against so many attacks because in order to dish out any damage he has to be zerker or some variation. My simple ideas to start out with is to take thief pre and after casts away. Or buff our defenses up particularly against aoe in some way shape or form.

More On-Revealed traits! :D

in Thief

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

Well to properly counter the revealed debuf we have to examine it’s initial purpose. I was always lead to believe it was to stop infinite backstabs over and over and the like. Revealed also gives players the chance to lock onto the thief for a short period allowing target required skills to ensure used (mesmers). Now our issue with revealed is the fact that people can now target us aka hit us. So what we really need is something to counter those hits while revealed as our usual go to stealth options are gone. The simple answer would be “more armor/protection”. Although it sounds nice at first I can already see that a trait like this paired with 50% less damage while in stealth is just too op. Unless they can’t be paired together, which calls for a whole new GM trait. But who wants to spend 30 points for a few seconds of protection? Protection on revealed won’t work we need something else. Now bear in mind that we already have revealed buffs such as +200 power and stability. But neither of these helps damage mitigation. I want us to look at the underestimated combat event called glance or better known as weakness (please correct me if I’m wrong this is all off top of my head). Works just like a blind but instead you do far less damage instead of missing the entire attack. It’s not a guaranteed thing which makes it just weak enough to add onto another trait instead of making whole new one. Add this to revealed training is my proposal. 30 in deadly arts leaves the thief with limited survival options as far as traits go making the possible builds not too op. Watch guys think?

Reduce Warrior "Mobility" WvW imbalance

Rastaman.9015

I say warriors need this mobility. They dont have that much escape skills beside movement skills. The main problem warriors have is conditions. Yea they have a bunch of condi clear skills but once those are used we are sitting ducks for about a minute. and since most of warrior skills are melee we need to not only get to you but also get from you. A few mobility tricks wont save us we need lots. Plus like everyone has already stated, a mobility speced warrior is just a big blob of pixels with tricks. Basically a troll build.

[PvP]How to improve with GS?

in Warrior

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

Hmm with my experience on my warrior. I really enjoy hammer/great sword. and i run almost full physical utilities. I also have a guardian of mesmer backing me up on the heal/boon side of things so I guess you need a good team comp for my build. But I run immobilize on cripples, bull, and stomp, and the physical training trait. This provides more than enough cc for me to get the job done and i land every thing. I like to play more like my thief however waiting for the right moment to charge in so not realy full on aggressive unless im stun chaining. My weakness is condition burst so thats where my teamates come into play any body that can burst me down fast gets cc chained and punished. I dont really know but im not really having that much trouble with my GS skills not landing. I need more details on your stitch.

Rapid fire needs adjustment

in Ranger

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

First of comparing anything to a thief skill is just a no no. Thief is so different it shouldn’t even be called a profession, its that serious. And with the recent changes rapid fire almost requires a good cc against any good players. And the cool down is just long enough for you to come up with a counter for it again on the next burst.

When playing this game by all means don’t just face roll and dump out all your damage and utilities. Actually pay attention to cool downs and the utilities your enemies use. Learn their combos. If its all random looking they are face rolling it. At that point just wait the burst out and then its your turn. If they are not face rolling it, you have an even better chance at out playing the enemy as most of these players use the same rotations over and over. Only good players have many different rotations to use. And these players are the hardest and best fights you will ever have in this game. Its also why thief is so hated because they have unlimited options to rotations, which boasts a pretty high skill cap. All in all L2P, we are all still learning our craft and if you really want to be good at this game, play all the professions and learn the strengths and weaknesses of every build.

Rangers stealth removal skill needs to go.

in Thief

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

I dont know if you are serious or not but this gave me a good laugh so thank you. Needless to say i completely disagree with this post. I pvp alot and have played every profession just to know how to counter them with my thief. And ranger NEEDS skills against thieves. Especially power based rangers. So no, I say keep the skill if anything buff it.

Furthermore thieves have armour as well so stealth isnt the “only” defense we have. To take away all armor on hit is just…lols. Funny to imagine however not feasible or even logical. I mean there would even be a reason to have might stack or even basilisk if all armor could be removed. vulnerability,might, hell even immobalize, anything that helps you damage just becomes SERIOUSLY OP at that point.

I think your coming at this from the wrong angle. Instead of attacking the rangers. How about attack revealed itself. What if we could turn it into a buff instead of a debuff. Lets get this train rollin!

Shadow refuge nerf

in Thief

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

Lets say we nerf stealth to the ground and give everyone what they want. The only way to counter buff the nerf is to buff dodges and toughness up by ALOT. Imagine a thief that u cant hit and when u do he chuckles cuz he is ticklish there. The QQ would raise through the roof. A SR nerf nah. I see SR as a bullseye for damage dumping. They literally cant leave the area until the refuge wears off or else death. SO save your fear your knockback your heavy aoe damage and bait out the refuge. The thief class is all for baiting out all the other professions oh shyt buttons and capitalizing off it. So just beat the thief at his own game. Every1 tries to hurry and burst the thief down blowing everything on it and then left with nothing to defend yourself. BRUH STOP IT! Thief is one of the most patient professions and the only way to beat patience is to be more patient.

I dont mean to be an kitten about it truely. But the thief that uses SR where I play at is at a disadvantage. IDK maybe my thief gets all the ppl that knows exactly how to deal with shadow refuge because at this point I hate SR. And my thief is my main if that says anything. I really dont want to say this but just L2P against this skills you will see its much more counter able than it seems. ill give you a tip. Almost every thief at this point saves a dodge for the refuge and stays away from the middle. Happy birthday.

P/P: Dodging costs 50% less while unloading

in Thief

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

Well with P/P changing skills 1 and 2 will change P/D which is pretty good where its at. and changing skills 4 and 5 changes D/P which as well is pretty good where it stands. While P/D and D/P still need some minor tweaks imo, minor tweaks wont fix P/P. The only options left is to either change skill 3 or change up traits and or runes. I don’t like the rune idea because then the rune becomes mandatory…ewww. The thing about traits is any pistol related changes also changes play for P/D and D/P, making them stronger or weaker. In order to avoid this while changing traits we would have to make an “unload” specific trait. Which also becomes mandatory. So the only sure fire way to make everyone happy is to change unload.

Now the idea of unload is fine by me. When I first saw the skill it gave me that matrix/max payne vibe. I think we should delve deeper into that vibe. I read further up the idea of dodging while unload is being channeled. I kinda like this idea. All the 3 skills involve some type of evade, but its all built into the skill itself. Lets take the built in evade out (theoretically) and place it into the players hands. Basically you choose when you want to dodge during the channel by simply dodging the same way any other play does. One problem I can conjure up right now is that it sounds like id be using my regular dodges where with any other set up id be using my initiative. I can think of 2 counter buffs one which has already been stated.

1) Give a trait the passive endurance regeneration just like the ele’s dagger traits. The issue with this is that doing the buff by each individual pistol buffs D/P and P/D as well and maybe too much. So id suggest this trait to only work when both pistols are equipped. Which calls for a whole new trait. Doing this however makes the trait mandatory.

2) We could make the skill work like S/D’s FS→LS, where the unload uses a certain amount of initiative and the dodge uses more initiative if activated. The issue with this is unload already uses a big chunk of initiative, so maybe lower the initiative cost on unload and then add the evade option. But the issue with that is if you never dodge the unload skill becomes op as to how many times u can use it.

As you can see trying to patch this skill up is harder than thought to be. and a complete rework of the skill however necessary it may be just starts a whole new world of problems with the next “skill”. What do you guys think?

S/D thief = low damage??

in Thief

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

I agree with sinject that “actively counter playing their support mechanics is usually key”. Sword dagger is more patience and good positioning as opposed to bursting so hard you cant react fast enough. Another way to look at sword is to make the enemy not able to react because of your interrupts and such, rather than them not being fast enough. Think about the game ‘Assassins creed’ in how campaign combat is more about countering with the occasional sneak stab. Think reactive instead of daggers proactive.

Through my experience I’ve found that using shortbow to wait out and evade the enemies burst until its my turn, then id sword slash and save my interrupts for their “oh shyt” mechanics. Basically making their entire skill list useless while i chop away. S/D also boasts one of the best if not the best mobility in the game so make sure you take full advantage of that. As far as trying to see the numbers you had with dagger main hand, Its possible but try not to hinder your mobility as its one of your top survival tactics with s/d. As long as you can jump around and have plenty initiative you can play around with your damage options.

Also very important especially against guardians is your daze chaining. I usually basilisk, get a auto chain in, then tactical strike, auto chain, steal daze em, auto chain, tactical strike again, auto chain, use the stolen ability from guardian to daze, auto chain, then tactical strike again, auto chain. By this time they are down if not they are very low. It’s about as aggressive as it gets and daze chaining sets a lot of sword users apart from on another, and learning a few of them can completely shut the other team down. But your usual tactic should be to save your interrupts to stop heals and what not.

tips when fighting outnumbered

in Thief

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

Rastaman.9015

Keep the enemy in an “imaginary” circle. Fight the enemy putting yourself outside that circle. The middle of that circle is like the Bermuda triangle. Im an evasion thief so in my case a stealth every now and again helps. Due to my constant jumping and dodging Its kinda hard to target me via clicking. People that use auto targeting or tab, fight them near mobs (wvw) that makes it really hard to target me. General good positioning is a must and a well positioned player is kinda op.

Make sure you use your steal effectively, for the right skills I mean like the necro fear or ranger healing seed or even warrior for the reflect.

Try not to use your utilities ever unless you HAVE too.

Resetting fights… if need be do it. To reset I usually use sword 2 run over to some mobs(or other players if no mobs) stealth on em and tele back then tele the opposite direction of my foes or where ever I see fit. A good time to reset is if all your cooldowns are gone and the enemy is NOT about to die.(use your own judgment on who has the “potential” advantage here)

Watching the entire battle field is a must for thieves. Always be aware of your surroundings meaning.. People in the current fight friend or foe, watch there skills and acknowledge them… all of them and react accordingly. If your ranger friend busts out a healing spring blast it! If an enemy necro goes into death shroud get ready to interrupt his siphoning. ALSO watch for incoming players, that bs gets you killed. And also watch the health pools and buffs and conditions of everyone in the immediate fight. All these watching tactics only require a seconds glance go invis and look around if you must.

Be smart. By this i mean smarter than the enemy. By that I mean outplay them. Trick them into thinking your doing one thing and do something totally different. Go one way invis and go a totally different direction. If you are a SA thief id invis before I start any skill with a long cast time like hide in shadows.

Shortbow! Saves lives especially if you have high passive initiative regen.

Dodges! Treat it like a utiliy, only when you need to. Acrobatics thieves however need to constantly dodge for the +10% damage buff.

And by all means don’t give them any slack! Go super tryhard beast mode on them. just don’t blow everything for one burst. But more importantly have fun! I love my thief!

I’d say centaur runes only because the -50% cripple makes u so op, chill and immobilize typically don’t last that long and u could just withdraw or teleport for those 2. I think that’s all the slows in the game so you and your perma swift can just zoom everywhere around the enemy.

Not as much damage as you could have but it does well. Also that group swiftness plus all your other boon buffs help your havoc team out lots. (poor mesmers).

Tired of thieves being so overpowered

First off guys, thief has a huge skill cap. Imo I think thief is impossible to master. This is due to the endless possibilities granted through the initiative system. As far as thief being noob friendly…..lol. Sure a brand new thief might be able to run the whole time, but you cant tell me u dont like pwning those heartseeker spammers. Shadow arts is the best and only defense a thief has in this current meta (Aoe/condi) almost to the ponit were SA: IV is mandatory in all builds. Those two just so happen to be hard counters to thieves. So I apologize for trying to survive your endless aoe and condition spamming. You say thief is op? Why aren’t they on more spvp teams? Or why aren’t there any thief commanders zerging around? Whens the last time you have taken your thief to any dungeons? I say thieves have been robbed of their talents in a desperate attempt to cure all the qq about stealth. And yet people still have indignation towards my favorite profession. To all my fellow thieves, Live long! throw a heartseeker spam or two in there just to kitten em off :P

Hill Kings [HK] Recruiting 4 WvW Team SOR

in Looking for...

Hey all! I’m here to present to you a brand new guild called Hill Kings. Here at Hill Kings we aim to hone our skills both competitively and simply for fun, and overall supply the best experience to our gaming community.

We are a PvX based guild which means: for guild wars 2 specifically, we focus on all aspects of the game including, Structured PvP, WvWvW, and PvE as well.

Some might ask, " well what makes you different from any other PvX guild out there"?

-Well for one we are a multi-server guild! Most guilds that involve themselves in wvw are strict to recruiting from one server for security purposes. We have invented a way to insure that our wvw scene is secluded while still bringing our players together.

-Also we aim to cover our hardcore players as well as our casual players. For the best experience for all of our members.

Aspect Mission:

Our sPvP scene aims to be pretty high on the charts in competitive play and still offer a casual/ lax playstyle for our other players. Involving practice days, scrims, tournaments, and meetings.

Our WvW scene aims to aid our server with tactical play for our hardcore players. Also roaming teams will be administered to accommodate multiple play styles for our players. If you are just a casual Joe, no problem just jump in the zerg and fire away!!
This aspect will have some security to assure the comfort-ability for our players. We will have meetings and such for our players.

And last but not least our PvE scene aims to enrich the gameplay of not only the guild but the entire guild wars 2 community. Including various events such as map completion, dungeon races, guild missions, and more!! If you ever need a break be sure to get with our PvE commanders.

Conclusion:

Hill Kings is a one of a kind guild that will thrive not only in GW2 but also in other titles as time passes. We hope to keep our playstyle alive and the community alive with it. Send a mail or whisper me in game @ Rastaman.9015 for an invite.

THANK YOU
When you strike at a king, you must kill him!

I just got hacked

If you log into your account via the gw2 website, there should be an option in there that shows you the IP’s that have connected to the game via your login info, you can tell it to forget all networks, then when you login next time it should prompt you to enter the authenticater code to enter the game, in there you should also have the ability to link the google auth to your account.

Thanks you all for your help! This method I quoted here worked like a charm. Fast and easy. Just delete all authorized and relog. THX!!!

This is for real. Im playing and all of a sudden i get logged out to character screen and the game notifications box pops up and says something along the lines of " you have been disconnected this account is already signed on another computer." And im just like O.O
So I log out and change all my passwords for everything and put some added protection on my stuff. I log back in and my main character has been tampered with and my bank items have been shuffled around. So i went ahead added google authenticater. I have everything set up how its supposed to be i think but I still gets no prompt….. Why??

Simple solution to "Last Refuge".

in Thief

Posted by: Rastaman.9015

This is my solution for now that is. We all know thieves have to do their home work before they go out and play. Any-who take your HP and multiply it by .25. When your health gets close to the number just stop attacking and let the curse proc. It is a hassle to look down at your health and pay attention to the fight at the same time but the skill cap for thief is very high and this method has saved me many times where I ould have died otherwise.

IF YOU DONT LIKE READING! Health X .25=? ?=Stop attacking.
