I know poor thief defenders always get Yishis-slapped in the face =P While I do not believe that the thief is perfectly balanced ( I think it’s still slightly overpowered in WvW ) we can all agree that knowing how to counter them helps a lot more than it does with other classes, so thieves get exponentially worse the more people get a clue on how to fight them. So… yeah… my point was… ugh, nevermind. I’ve said more than enough, I’ll let other people post

No need to be all defensive about this mr. Silver, if you read carefully my post I never raise balance concers. I just state what’s truth, that being that it’s really hard (read almost impossible) for a guardian to catch up to a skilled thief that wants to run away due to stealth + high mobility. The problem is of course alleviated by slotting specific weapons/utilities ( some common, some weak ).
On the other side, any thief that tries going toe to toe against a guardian without spamming blind from pistol off-hand is as dead as a dodo. Gotta love almost oneshotting glass cannon crappy backstab thievs with Sigil of Wrath + Wirling Wrath combo :d
Tl;dr – Guardians easily kill any thief that doesn’t make heavy use of kiting/blind, but has troubles finishing them off before they run away.
P.s. Regardin balance : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRcTKt47ixk. Look at how pathetic and weak is this heavily nerfed thief Imagine what he would’ve done without the nerfs. Granted he’s a great player fighting noobs, but give him a ranger and tell me if he manages to pull off a 1 vs 3 =) Better nerf Irelia.

While this is probably the best setup for killing a thief in WvW, it’s not as good as our most prominent builds for general purposes. Also notice how half of your spells suddenly become useless as soon as the thief stealths. Can’t target scepter immobilize, difficult to land banish/immobilize (blind on stealth for extra difficulty), warding ring allows you to hit them once or twice with autoattacks/mighty blow and that’s assuming he doesn’t infiltrator arrow/shadowstep out of it. And as soon as you don’t get him down with your first CC chain, he whips out a shortbow and is >1200 range away from you with 0 chances for you to catch up.

I didn’t read your entire post so bear with me, I’ll read it later. Just wanted to point out that 3-5 hours a day isn’t casual by any means ( a truly casual player often has days where he doesn’t play at all ) and that dungeons aren’t for the superproelite crowd (those are SOLOING Lupicus ), but for the “medium-skilled, with a brain” player. I’m pretty sure you haven’t tried half of them, yet tag them as “only for dedicated people on TS”.

So you run a few minutes of WvW for the first time and got pwned, how can you tell it was gear making the difference? Don’t mean to be offensive or rude, but I seriously doubt you are the most skilled PvP player, considering that was your first time Do you have an SPvP background?

Way to twist people words. Nobody said a boss fight can’t be done with more than 5 people, unless the scaling is out of whack in which case you report the issue properly.

No, immobilize is a condition and condition removal abilities are its counter. On that matter, I’d say that fear shouldn’t be prevented by stability, as it’s already countered by condition removal skills.

Take into account that the only thief you will ever be able to kill in WvW is a bad thief or a thief that goes 100% all-in. We are one of the least mobile classes, while they are almost always very mobile. As soon as the thief realizes he can’t kill you, he’ll make a run for it and there’s no way we can catch up with them between Shadow Refugee, Heartseeker spam, Infiltrator Arrow, Signet of Shadow and Shadowstep ( abilities very common in WvW ). If you see the thief coming you may switch one of your utilities to Signet of Wrath/Bane Signet and/or Judge’s Intervention to quickly catch up to them when they start running ( I say switch to because both signets are weak and I wouldn’t reccomend anyone to slot them regularly ).
That being said, unless the thief makes heavy use of kiting/stealth, the actual fight shouldn’t be too hard, especially if you are using a greatsword. Always try to land a Binding Blade as soon as their health drops below half so you can try and interrupt their heal or pull them out of Shadow Refugee (automatically unstealths them).

SFR don’t have any PUGs, but we have lot’s of roamers. They are little bit like PUGs, but useless.
No thank you, I think if you sum every +5 our server has taken due to a supply camp soloed by me the amount would be pretty hefty. You don’t have to zerg everywhere you go.

Look! Vizunah is winning after 1 month so here it comes all the forum warriors! Hopefully next in line is another month of ownage and you can go back to being silent.
P.s. I am and have always been a PUG on SFR and I’ve never encountered any flaming or disrespect towards me apart from a bunch of RG guys with ego problems (no offense RG, you are a great guild and all but 2-3 of your members could use a lesson in manners). Then again I try to be as helpful as I can, while some of the new blood doesn’t have any clue about WvW and only wants to farm shweet WXP. Our community is great, but one has to make a (very small) effort to get into it in the first place.

What? Are you serious? Based on your logic a level 20 in WvW shouldn’t run away or fight me back because his struggle is futile and it’s only going to make me spend more time killing him. Not only that, but more often than not even though I don’t have a chance at rallying I use my 2nd to CC enemies and try to be help my team, or contest a point even 1 second longer.

I’m sorry mr. Lillian but you didn’t read the two lines the OP wrote down. He didn’t mention neither easy or pve in his post.
That being said, the strongest classes while leveling/doing dungeons are Warrior and Guardian, and don’t require particular finesse. They are not that great in solo WvW though, especially the Guardian.
The strongest solo WvW classes are Elementalists and Thieves, although they lack a bit of “oomph” during the levelling process. Both get extremely strong if played skillfully.

As for quests that chain into long stories we have meta-events and some regular events. Most of them don’t do a great job at storytelling but some do in fact substitute fully the kind of quests cited by rosenmyst.

I’ve only watched the first fight and it seems that he was pretty effective considering the odds. The simple fact that you can (almost) permastealth means that having high killing proficiency wouldn’t be balanced.

Yesterday someone told me to try this Legend of Grimrock game, telling me it was quite well done. So I started the thing and the first sound I heard in the loading screen was terrible.
