Working as intended. Anet hates Thief so much they do this AAAANNNNDDD they have Vial of Salt. They are basically telling us to uninstall and never come back. =) 10/10.

We strongly believe that regular balance updates are one of the key pillars of building a successful competitive game. As such, prior to each season, there will be a balance update. League play will generally begin about two weeks after a balance update to ensure that the metagame has stabilized in an appropriate manner. Balance will be closely monitored throughout the season with the goal of having solid balance going into the postseason tournaments.

Less CC in game, make it more impactful. I’d prefer 1 3 second stun to 3 1 second stuns. Good lord. And no more “you cc me, I cc you back” traits. Thanks kindly. Otherwise, fix your game anet.

Just one person?

Alrightie boys and girls, post this on literally every thread you can.

I know the rest of you won’t do this, but I just stopped watching the ESL altogether lol. No point when its hard to decipher and pointless.

No pistol change for you. Har har har, Thief thinks Anet cares
;-; I cry inside.

Anet: "We removed the Skill Fact “Combo Finisher: Projectile Finisher” from Impairing Daggers."
Yaaay. Inb4 truth.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
It was pvp as well. Clutch stealth and initiative, or clutch evade+initiative. I used those.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Because they only intentionally kill Thief. Warrior was a happy accident.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
I thought I’d tell you all how to win your SoloQ games.
Play Glint, Dragonhunter, Reaper, Scrapper, or Druid. Good luck out there.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
I gotta find something else to play. For the time being, I rerolled in hopes that I might enjoy this game again. But I’ve just run out of anger and disappointment, dropped boredom and now I’m just tired. =/
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Often times it helped in endeavors like chasing targets or juking by dropping target and hitting a stealth. It also granted initiative and endurance. Clutch play stuff.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
They didn’t ignore Thief. We got a nerf, as per use. And as per use, it wasn’t in the notes. Lovely.
Steal now requires a target is what people are saying. Bright side, mine is now gathering dust indefinitely. Thank you anet for ruining my favorite reason to play this game- my bloody thief. Woo.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
If you wanna be successful in leagues, don’t play Thief or Warrior. Just a heads up. I will apologize to everyone who plays those and I kill. Its no longer fair =(
Edit: I put a list of bugs in bug reports and Thief forums. And an actual in game bug report. Fannnnntastic.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.

I wish Pistol Whip still evaded =( I missed the memo, and now it doesn’t.
But uh ye. That skill fact update. So glad we got one, and ele got what 6? Also, Impairing Daggers still isn’t a combo finisher, Dodges still root us post shortbow 5, Pulmonary Impact does not affect downed, and Pulmonary Impact does not benefit from Brawler’s Tenacity. Faaaaantastic. Can I be salty now?
Oh and Scorpion Wire is still bugged while Magnet Pull is k, and Withdraw is still 10% too low.
Edit: With Leagues about to start and Thief still status quo, I’ma just play a Dragonhunter or Reaper. I’d prefer to win, sorry to say. Need that backpack.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
I just wanna not die to dragon maw mid pistol whip. Then idgaf.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
I feel like I’m being ignored. I burst engage, I don’t just mob run. =( Unless I’m hardcore trolling.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Gyro. Super speed. Reveal. 1200 range pull, 1000 range leap, 800 lange leap, 600 range leap. Please, tell me more on how a Scrapper cannot catch you.
Edit: I hope Thieves Guild goes down to 120 second cooldown. 180 is bogus.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
But, but Nova. I’m so skilled when I press Signet of Spite and the guy literally implodes.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Those two are so darn good, they DESERVE buffs. The rest of us ~need~ them. But ye. Nerfs. Always, always, always.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Never mind. Pistol Whip doesn’t do that.

The Jack-In-A-Box Scythe is the fastest sickle. Just saying.

Not trying to defend the op, but perhaps it was Trapper rune Guardian?
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
So its time for predictions: tomorrow is judgement day.
I have two: No patch OR Thief nerfs coupled with Revenant buffs.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Nova, remember- Esports big play$$$$.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Daunt, I believe the phrase you are searching for is “Working as intended”.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
On the off note, you do know Weakness reduces endurance regenartion by 50%? Unless you mean evade skills, in which case all have counters.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
When people say Vault is strong I just say “Headshot.”
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
@Jahr- its not really boring for me tbh. SW was boring. A lap of kessex with mob kills and events in between is not that boring. Bum rushing all the events in CS isn’t really too dreary. Doing a chestrun in SW for an hour and obtaining 6g then asking why its so low and getting “thats the highest in game” is boring.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
But Corrupt Boon kills Revenant. “Corrupt Boon now converts 4 boons instead of 5. It also now has a 60 second cooldown and is no longer unblockable.” Inb4.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Thank you, gonna tab that. I prefer my notebook, but thats help too.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Honestly, I’d settle for active communication. Say two to three Dev responses a day on PvP forum? The last dev post was 4 days ago I think. Comon…
Edit: Ok so there was a post an hour ago. But I meant before that XD
Edit2: I’m dumb. I don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving that much. Ignore my post about the time frame, that I would like more communication especially in places of unrest. PvP, Thief, Warrior and HoT discussion seem to be hotspots- WvW is more of early on. Needs help, but there is time as this is the second month of new content.

@Cynz and Azure- they will nerf. $5 Thief nerfs, calling it now. That or no patch at all tomorrow?
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
=D Kessex is my money farm when I’m lazy. Cursed Shore when I wanna lead. Kessex is more definite 10-12. CS is more like if good 15-16, if bad 7-8.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
@Belz- you aren’t flipping. You are farming a map.
@Joey- I know. Just trying to help players that want to just play the game for a good deal of gold. Farmed for 20 minutes now (Showed a guildie the pathing) and I got 4g. I’m sitting at the “you sold too many items too fast, so go sit down and chill” screen. That’s fast enough for me. I still got 20 slots of money to sell through.
@Substatic- I know right. It is so fun to discover new ways to have fun and play things you already played. Let me just put down GW2 and go play Fallout 4, a game that I found insanely ~boring~. Woohoo. I love Fallout 4, I rip my hair out. =)
Am willing to teach people in game, it is honestly the least grindie thing I have done in this game.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Except, you know, you aren’t. You literally just write down items that are high in price and PLAY THE GAME TO FARM THEM. Flipping TP is something I can’t do. Much. But when I do its around 25-30g.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Make money. Yep, I went there. I know its not a big thing on this forum, but its not a HoT only discussion. A lot of people I play with in game, who I talk to on forums, hear on map chat, etc all say “Its impossible to earn money”. I’m BAD at making money, and when I take 5 minutes to figure out a get-rich-quick-scheme, I usually break 10g an hour. What’s the method?
Step 1) Acquire a Pen and Notebook if you are really going for a big goal (2k gold or so), otherwise ignore this step. It is however a good practice to have this in your life for other reasons, but thats my opinion.
Step 2) Open the trading post and check all the mats. Wood, Venom, Blood, Leather, Cloth, Ore, etc. Write down the price in your notebook marking the names clearly so you don’t think later “wut did I write? was I drunk?”.
Step 3) Find the highest pricing ~group~ of items. Group by level, not by item. For instance, I am currently farming a combination of leather/bags/cloth that nets me 1g per 5 or 6 minutes if I go slow.
Step 4) Next week (doesn’t have to be on the dot, but you get the idea) write the prices down. Make sure to mark rises.
OR. There is like a trading post website. =/ But I like having my answer next to me instead of using a search bar. Point being, so long as people like me can make this money (and like I said, I am bad. I use sell instantly .-.) then so can everyone else. If prices were truly dropping in the trading post, then EVERYTHING would drop. But, oddly, legendaries and ascended materials are staying the same. How odd. Have a great day, hope I helped. Not sure what the TP website is though.

I recently got into Sword/Pistol Assassin amulet (I know, not zerker. same principal, I just prefer critting to not). Works well on people just running solo. Especially if they only have one stunbreak (using scorpion wire to 1200 range trigger it for my safety).
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Thief doesn’t get buffs. Thief gets nerfed.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
So far it’s working, and has very low avenues of retaliation:
I sword 5 someone to me.
I Jalis (I call it dwarf and Javis…need to fix that I guess) chain them for taunt+slow.
I swap to Shiro.
I press Impossible Odds.
I go to Town.
By the time the cc wears down, I have a corpse- freshly stomped.
Jalis for the chain and stability stomps when necessary, can’t always 1v1 and this helps teamfights. Also 50% damage reduction.
Offhand sword for the pull.
Anti-CC traits getting anti-CC-anti’d. I chain, I get MoA or RP or EfaE from someone else and they get it. Also, did you see its 3 long seconds of taunt? As opposed to one second from MoA, shocking aura, or Reaper’s Protection? On top of that, I get protection and 20% dps reduction on my chosen kill. On top of ~that~ I get 50% damage reduction. It reduces the options of retaliation.
Eagle runes for more crit.
Dismantle Fortifications because stability shredding.
Any other questions? This is not a troll build, and this build is highly effective. Not sure why you went for a personal attack at the end neither?
This build is to grab someone and kill em. Very gimmick, very straight forward. Trying to make a build that will counter the current meta (and succeeding) because it will be seen as “stupid, useless, and bad”. =) And it works. Anywho, waiting for suggestions and glad to clarify your questions.

I’d say each has their strengths if we get into it. Meta is just easy to pick up, not strongest. It fits into general comps and allows mistakes. Unrelated to discussion, but Javis/Shiro is INCREDIBLE. Just chain someone and perform rapid dissection. Hasn’t failed me yet.

Everything nerfed= same position. Thief and Warrior are garbage, Rev is still god, everything else is mediocre…
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Impairing Daggers tends to veer VERY far away from your target if they start or stop moving during the cast.
Impairing Daggers do not trigger there 3 combo finisher: projectiles.
Pulmonary Impact trait neither restores endurance from the trait Brawler’s Tenacity, nor does it seem to work on downed targets (application or damage).
Flanking Strikes Trait in Trickery Line does not seem to be affected by Trickster or Improvisation.
These make PvP REALLY difficult at times.

He means resistance perhaps?

No, I am fine with Ele’s. I was making a point.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
This is a make or break patch for a lot of players on Thief and Warrior. Sorry to say, but margin of error is fairly small at this point.

Basically an auto to win build. Trying to focus on assassinating players asap.
