Making youtube videos or having a twitch.tv channel is what makes people “good” in the eyes of MMO players, not actual skill.
Imo playing classes in GW2 is incredibly easy and nothing to boast about. Mastering a class in GW2 is far easier than in any other MMO. “Skill” comes from situational awareness and group synergy. But those are universals skills, not class-specific ones.
After several months reading your things . . . i can say i’m your fan.
i wish this forum has more thieves like you =**
Probably Sanduskel the best thief in the forum could help us with this numbers.
I hear he kills alone Tequatl with no stealth and no evasion.
I bet he is using the correct build you are trying to make RedSpectrum.
There’s nothing to salvage about this map unless you straight-up remove the Skyhammer gun.
I’d rather play Raid on the Capricon instead of this abomination any day.
yup yup and yup . . . . . and yup
. . . . . . . . .. . . .. . . . . .
Please Allie let us change our glory booster for other booster, like speed or something.
I saved my glory boosters to use them continuously on high rank lvls now i have like 100.
We will really appreciate this.
I tried your build man, really nice kitten fake.
I set exactly the same as yours but i can not crit 20k backstab in a full tank guardian.
Something is wrong with traits probably.

the one you purchase for 1000 gems, has a limit?
hahahahahahah hahahahahahah hahahahahahahahah
Is this serious? i have seen it all . . . thanks OP just made my day.
Yea, having a glory-to-gold conversion was amazing. I just wish I could have traded in some of my glory boosters for something worth gold too, lol.
yes please i have 97 =(
^ as my good friend would say.
How much gold it cost at the end if we purchase the materials and all you can purchase?
is color green available?
Viking Jorun.5413 i don’t know if you are one of those thieves that love to say they are experts because they do not use D/P or talking seriously.
D/P is the best set for WvW . . . yes.
But it doesn’t mean it is OP.
Anet must buff other sets to be a real option.
Man i’m really tired of this forum, always calling all good build cheesy, all good counters OP, and “a total imbalance” for every profession they can not kill.
+1 keep it like that my friend!
Just delete that map for the love of god! listen to the majority!
Well i don’t even know why we waste time with this theads . . . anet listens less every day.
How to fix ranger:
1. Uncouple it from the pet. Seperate all pet abilities, pet dependant traits, anything and everything from the pet. Give the ranger complete control when the pet comes out and when it doesnt instead of automatic. Put the pet as an “optional” way to play, instead of forced way to play.
2. Fix the sword auto attack chain.
3. Boost some actual (non-pet) ranger condi removal, stun-break, abilities or lower their CDs.
4. Remove the self-rooting from LB AOE.
How to fix thief:
1. Improve thieves play on PvE dungeon encounters, especially on boss fights, make it a bit more survivable and less dependant on stealth or evade spam.
2. Introdcue and Implement some stealth and perma-evade conterplay for every available profession/class in the game.
3. Seperate thieves condi-removal from stealth. Introduce and impliment non-stealth dependant active, not passive condi removal.
These would open new options, new builds and much more fun play-counterplay for both classes.
So basically you want to make thief class . . . warrior class?
Man the class was designed to be like this, also mesmer, and warriors.
Stop trying to change the essence of the classes!!!
but i liked the ranger suggestions xD.
You know every class can easily kill a thief when played well . . . the problem is the mass of people that runs berserker builds with no gaming skills at all.
Who cares about stealth in wvw ? The only good use for stealth in pvp is veils.
No one cares about roamers and i don’t see a particularly big amount of thieves in wvw either…
I’m guessing you’re a troll or just kitten after being killed by thieves.
Exactly this . . . i don’t know why the heck people cry about stealth.
WvW is about capturing keeps and towers . . . . Why some one care about roamers!???
Please anet please please remove skyhammer for the love of god!
Really appreciate guys, great tips.
But the problem if i range them, they also apply hard conditions on range and pistol hits nice.
Might be helpful if you shared your build with us.
I play most DPS build.
10/30/0/030 trickery with both S/P and D/P for burst
10/30/30/0/0 When i want to distract enemies D/P for surviving. (also damage is not that bad)
And some other condi specs that i don’t like much because too boring xD
Really appreciate guys, great tips.
But the problem if i range them, they also apply hard conditions on range and pistol hits nice.
Ill take a look to sizer channel btw
PU Mesmer . . . when well played almost impossible to kill.
Any advise with engis, sometimes i try to take out fast the tourrents but they have to much hp for my aoe attacks.
Is it just me or this days i see a lot of engineers on SPVP and they are incredible hard to kill.
I just can’t keep fighting with them is such a small area.
Burn, root, knocks, confusion, bleeds, crippling . . . and those tourrents!!
My main is a thief, is because of my profession that engi is a hard counter to me?
I mean i do not mind if it is the case . . . but it is the same to all?
Any advise to improve my gaming?
Sorry for my english.
SUPER ADVENTURE BOX NOW!!!! (without scarlet plz)
Great idea . . . but no need to pay for it.
Dueling must be a function for every competitive game IMO.
The problem is this game focus more every day on PVE customer type, and most of them do not like to receive duel invitation.
Skyhammer is a good map . . . the problem IMO are glasses.
Is a elitist map where profession like engineers, Necromancers and some other professions or build with great AOE CC can easily rule against 2.
This is well known for the spvp community and this is why most of them ask to take it off at least for soloQ rotation.
. . . i agree with them.
As a thief i can say it hits like a truck . . . once it just kitten d me with 2 or 3 hits. . .
But i do not really think is OP because of the cool down.
GW2 pvp is GREAT !! But… Developers like to play around too much. Not in the sense of having fun, but ignore players with real concerns and don’t seem to take their duties seriously. They also come up with silly excuses why they must take months and months to change or even fix obviously broken things. They also lack the ability to make game-saving changes to the game mechanically, so players know we’re stuck with a kitten game and rely on balance to fill the fun-void in our hearts, not yet knowing that even with better balance we’re still at a loss because GW2 simply could have been so much more if not for pride covering up poor design choices.
^
It feels like people are only playing the game because there’s nothing else to play. Real alternatives aren’t released yet but I think once that happens GW2 will lose the majority of their players. It’s sad since the game has a lot of potential.
^
hahahahahahaha love it!
Josh Davis i really appreciate your hard job . . . and i know is not easy to get this patches and you all have very good reasons for this update.
But i really do not think that making sarcasm jokes is the best idea.
lol . . . .
But seriously you are not the first person with this issue.
It will be great if they add this confirm deletion.
+1
I’m really tired of this forum . . .
Too many people crying all the time with not even knowledge of what are they talking.
This forum use to be cool, with cool people posting nice threads . . . now is nosense-QQ everywhere.
I will take vacations . . . to much forum for my health.
As i know WvW is about conquering castles, towers . . . for your server.
Why the !@#$% are you crying for a mesmer or a thief that you can not kill?
God this forum every day gets worst.
hahaha this threads xD . . .
OP everywhere!!
OP here ..
. . . op there . . .
i see op people. . .
I do not know how many threads anet needs to figure out this map is not welcome in ranked matches.
remove already!
Yeah but is a require to access a higher lvl.
I mean exactly as fractals mechanics . . . select the rank you want to play . . . just need to be higher than the minimum lvl required in that rank.
The only problem as u said would be the current ppl playing spvp. . .
one does not simply forget this thread
I just come again to see if mighty mike come back . . . . =(
would make games sooooo loooooooong
besides pvp rank doesn’t mean anything althrough i do wish there was requirement at least of rank 10 to be able to do ranked
i personally didn’t do ranked untill i hit rank 18 or something
by games soooooo looooooooooooong you mean to find one? . . . . if that is what you mean i do not how long it could be.
And rank it does mean something . . . at least the player know the basics and or not.
I mean there could be always a “All lvl” section where you do not need to worry about ranks.
This could solve a lot the complains of people that gets really bad teams in soloQ.
Even the rating on board could be linked actually for ranks.
SoloQ: 1-10
SoloQ: 11-20
SoloQ: 21-30
. . . so on.
Also could help people to really see the difference from a good player and a OP profession . . . there are too many threads complaining about X profession is OP.
I don’t know but i guess another person thought about this.
Basically to add a filter of minimum rank to the games (rated).
Same as fractals . . . .
Does a dev already talk about this?
thanks
in order to post in this forum users should be at least rank 20 in spvp xD . . . . joking but true.
A ‘thank you’ that conveniently doubles as advertising.
Presumably, the people you want to thank already have access to this link by virtue of the reason you want to thank them.
Need a new subforum for these ‘eSports’ narcissists.
narcissists??? WOOT . . . this guys is sharing his knowledge and making a better community . . . whats wrong if he wants more advertising?
A lot more people should be like this . . . instead of the having 1342315 QQ nerf everything i can not kill threads.
Thanks Jebro keep it like this . . .
I think I’ve seen this same thread for Rangers, Necros and Elementalists…
There is a lol of threads complaining about necros and rangers . . .* i agree that Ele is in a very bad position right now . . .*
Three days ago i fought a ele staff, i could not even get close to kill him, and he killed me hard.
The best ele and player i ever seen.
This is not true. Well maybe D/D Eles are in a bad position (I just stomped a few earlier) but Staff Eles are overflowing with awesome.
I consistently get top ranked as a staff Ele in pvp.. 2nd place overall in points, and typically get three awards per tourney (usually top kills, top caps and top skirmisher).
Eles turn the tide of the match. But we don’t do it alone, we do it as a team.
I see . . . i even made a ele with the same build as the one that killed me hard . . . i was really impress . . . and i consider myself a decent player.
i don’t see many good eles but this person really showed me that when well played is increidble.
And probably the key is to use well your team mates since ele when left alone can do insane AOE damage from very far.
Thief is a cheesy profession, as it was intended to be. We’re squishy, and we are the best at being that. We’re supposed to be the hated one, the one you’ll never see coming, but you’ll definitely feel. If we fail we have the tools to gtfo, if we fail that then a thief is a free loot bag. We hit hard, if we fail we disengage, that’s how it was designed.
I’ve been literally one-shotted by warriors using eviscerate or kill shot (the latter one being a ranged high damage attack), do you see me complaining?
Some facts from the GW2 wiki:
Kill Shot
- lvl 3 adrenaline damage: 1256 (damage multiplier of 3,25)
- Range: 1500
- Combo finisher: Physical Projectile
Eviscerate
- lvl 3 adrenaline dagame: 1008 (damage multiplier of 3)
- Range: 300
- Combo finisher: Leap
Backstab
- Damage: 806 (damage multiplier of 2,4)
- Range: 130
- Stealth attack
As you can see, a thief with full berserker gear is not going to hit nearly as hard as a warrior in the same gear – the difference? Warrior can be immune to conditions for 8 seconds, immune to all damage from 5 seconds and they have twice as much health and toughness as a thief – this without traits and food.
Warrior base stats with heavy lvl 80 ascended armor:
- Armor: 2187
- Health: 18372
Thief base stats with medium lvl 80 ascended armor:
- Armor: 2034
- Health: 10805
See the differense? Note that I chose warrior because it’s the only profession in the game with an attack with higher damage multiplier than the thiefs backstab. Why do thief has lower stats, because we can stealth and use deception to survive – a warrior was made to breathe you in your face as he crushes it. I would fear the zerker warrior more than the thief. We have literally no immunity skills, as several other more dangerous professions have…
Man really nice . . .
I will add the fact that the people forget roles and they want all to do all.
Too many QQ in this forums . . . instead of asking for advices.
This seems to be something that most people fairly thing is a bad food design.
Probably it will be changed, and if it is going to be nerfed, i do not think it will be a big nerf, since a lot of people already has invested on them.
You know that the manliest class is the necro… once in a fight, we win or die fighting. And we dont hide behind blocks or invulnerable skills and we dont dodge much… we take all hits, like real man would…
Warriors are more i run in wreack chaos but when i feel i am losing i run away with my mobility skills…
Yeah right . . . tell that to your second health bar and transformations.
I think I’ve seen this same thread for Rangers, Necros and Elementalists…
There is a lol of threads complaining about necros and rangers . . . i agree that Ele is in a very bad position right now . . .
Three days ago i fought a ele staff, i could not even get close to kill him, and he killed me hard.
The best ele and player i ever seen.
hahahaha this forum is getting worst every day hahahaha.
Nerd short bow was the last thing i thought i was going to read. . . whats next? . . .
NERF TRAPS!!
Yes i want to know why this was a mistake . . . i have not seen a single bad side to this.
Yup . . roamers ( or self-declared roamers) are the only that actually cry here . . .
WvW was not made to balance the classes by roaming . . . please get it now and create better and more constructive topics.
There’s no campaign against solo roaming, it’s just not what this game-mode was designed for. They added sentries and had their kills count towards the score to accommodate roamers.
Exactly . . . the less people should care in this game mode is roamers.
Is just ego talking when they QQ for everything. They want to kill every single profession and build in the game.
Yeah it was one of the best decisions Anet has made . . . kind of late but at least in the right direction.
The next step would be a way to get exotic PvE items . . . or better yet, ascended.
sPVP players deserve it, since they are very loyal to not the best system in the current MMO.
