Take my thief. 900 pistol range is alot shorter than 900 shortbow range. That again is shorter than warriour longbow 900 range thats again almost close to 1200 range even tho it says 900.
Incorrect. Guild Wars was, and most likely always will be a PvP game. In fact, ArenaNet wishes to turn it into an eSport. The game is very much balanced around PvP.
A note is that the blood sigil doesnt work on the shortbow. Else I would recommend blood actually due to heals. I had fire before on my shortbow, not really that great. And it doesnt work with poison, cluster bombs, shadowsomething. One the evade and auto attack skill.
Depends how you play, because you might need 2 of the same sigils.
Sigils dont stack as you know, but they also only trigger on the weapon used. So using an offhand skill wont proc the sigil in mainhand. or apply any bonuses.
Ok this is getting plain silly for pure myths. My GF got her PC next to mine. Using 2 characters I can tell you in combat with the signet, they move EQUALLY as fast/slow. And only OUTSIDE combat will the thief run faster and gain the 25% bonus.
The same crit sigils do stack as far as I can tell, it’s just basic probability, so lets say a sigil has a 30% proc chance, if you have two of them, it’s a 51% chance. 30% chance for the first to proc, leaving a remaining 70%, 30% of which is 21%. 30 + 21 = 51% chance.
Wrong.
What happens is one sigil procs on mainhand skill, other sigil procs on offhand skill. And if they share colddown…
Give people time to figure it all out. I expect WvW to be a very different experience 3 months from now.
I fear there might not be a WvW in 3 months. WvW really needs some tuneups and fixes. Its simply too easy to rollover upgraded keeps and towers. Asuming there is no other on the map, how many people you need? 5 to take everything?
In DAoC for example fully upgraded keeps/towers got guards that hurt. Here gurads are just…slight anoyance.
Sounds like you meant Infiiltrators signet. It is probably the most under-estimated utility we have. Knocked off of a height? Just use it to get right back up again. It also penetrates floors and walls so you can recover and get right back in. And againt a Warrior who stuns you because he uses quickness for 100 blades you can use the stunbreaker and attack him while he takes 50% more dmg from his quickness.
Many uses for it. Also, the Shadowstep utility is the best utility the Thief has.
Nor the signet infiltrator, steal or shadowsteps can pass walls or floors.
Very busy working on the next expansion I guess. Bots and hackers run freely around. Only the most blantant might get banned. Sofar it killed WvW for me and pvE is also going down fast with more and more botters around.
My guess is the server actually only uses your jump point and landing point to calculate AoE, portal etc. Might also explain why you sometimes can jump to avoid AoE.
Before claming something is false, one would atleast expect you to do some basic testing.
Crossfire shoots alot faster than pistol, its hits 10 times when the pistol hits 6 times. Plus its 1200 range. And the bleed fron the side? If you are just 15-20 degrees off, bleed is still applied.
And explosive shot is AoE, so it doesnt even fit in here.
Warriour bleeding shot is 155 damage and 6 seconds bleed for 255 and shoots just a tad slower than pistol with a 9 to 10 ratio.
It happens quite abit. Not sure why, But if you jump somewhere near the gating area to get in and out. it sometimes throw you out even tho you are somewhat far from it relatively.
The problem is, unlike real spies, that you cant do anything about them. Meaning its a free card and I would say exploit. Same goes for the supply wasters that other servers sends in. You can only watch….
Seems to be related to excessive damage when you die. A warriour doing killshot on me when I am almost dead as downed means I am usually dead at the teleport.
P/P is abit underwhelming. But the entire thief is “bugged” with a case of not knowing what to do.
The autoattack 1 does less damage than other/most other classes ranged auto attack. Unload itself is weak and since its 8 times one shot. Some defensive skills really hurts if you use it.
Also I dont understand why a thief applies so little bleeding as they do. Or why poisons dont stack. Its counterintuiative. Burst damage is not really there either…
If P/P perhaps got a bleed with unload. And poisons stacked. Then we could talk again.
You can also be pulled of a wall even when there is a barrier. Happens more rarely, but still happens. But again, its the same as elementalists standing 3000 range below and still AoE you, just because the AoE scales unlimited in height.
The latest exploit to the huge list of freely used abilities is the ability to run past impassable objects. You simply run up over a wall and other parts.
Its not a new exploit really, since its atleast 3 weeks old. I just didnt see it in use before today.
So to make a small list of used exploits in PvP/WvW today.
Fly.
Teleport.
Speed.
Zero Gravity.
Endurance.
Noclip.
Jump and Roll.
Wall Climb.
Haste.
High Jump.
Sword offhand would create 5 more skills (4/5 skills + dual skills with dagger/pistol/sword), which is more balance work for ANet. I personally feel like a dual-sword thief wouldn’t feel like a thief.
They sure had plenty of time for some of the other classes
Well first of all this would break a great many areas that are balanced for people not being able to…well…fly. There’s a reason you can’t get up there. You’d drop down and take the keep without having to ‘siege’ anything.
That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Thief’s Guild elite gets nerfed. And to hear a thief player say that Dagger Storm is disappointing when its an 8s evade/reflect that also grants stability while throws out bleeding/crippling daggers is just ridiculous.
I’m not trying to come across as an kitten or anything but elites are not meant to be game-breakingly awesome. They’re just stronger than other skills and that’s why you only get one.
Thief and warriour also got utterly broken ranges. Some 900 range warriour skills can hit almost as 1200. And other thief skills foir example, one 900 range is much shorter than another 900 range. Not to mention skills not doing what they say they should.
