Follow that directly, you will be a TANK that can put the pain on any thief you come across, flamethrower is the thieves WORSE nightmare? hes stealthed but thieves are ALWAYS in melee range, so if he stealths just flame and run in circles until your combat log hits something.
Your almost dead? Switch to heal kit, heal for full, repeat, he will eventually have to run away.
El.
Oh.
El.You have no clue.
Seriously, I’m cross posting this to the Engineer forum for laughs.
You take conflicting talents. You take broken talents. You ignore good talents. Seriously, this is the funniest thing I have seen in a week.
In that build backstab only hits me for 3578!
If those traits are broken, then why don’t you complain about your class being crappy and not thief being overpowered?
4k? What a from a level 20 thief?
Taking from a 9K base where do you see 50% damage reduction? You didn’t even pick up +toughness for the shield.
You are lying.Because even if they worked they wouldn’t be that good.
He was a backstab thief in SPVP, he hit me for very little.
I am indeed a liar.
How do you know he was backstab speced?
Maybe he was Condition Damage.

If balance in WvW is irreverent then they should disable stealth in it.
They have had no problem disabling other skills when they didn’t work right. Even class mechanic skills.
This. 1,000 times this. The players crying out for nerfs are not interested in game balance. They’re only interested in winning without putting in any effort for it. And supposing the thief does get heavily crippled by the nerf bat, don’t think for a moment they’ll stop at the thief. Any of the other 7 classes will be on their hit lists. all it takes is a single defeat and “ERMAHGERD, OVURPOWERD, NURF!!!11!1one!1one!1!”
Fine, Lets just buff everyone to deal with Thieves!
Every Non thief Class will now do 10x more damage.
Every Non thief Class will now have 10x more HP.No nerfs! So I must be interested in balance right?
The only thing “nerfs” do is separate people who can think logically and those who can not. Power is totally relative. A nerf to one class is a buff to every other. A Buff to one class is a nerf to every other.
The only “advantage” of Buffs only is to soothe the egos of bad players using overpowered classes as a crutch to overcome their own incompetence.
So we should nerf the thief class because one of them dared strike you? Yes of course, makes perfect sense! People don’t want to just nerf the thief now, they want to utterly destroy it. Every time someone gets beaten by a thief, or a warrior, or a mesmer, they come here crying and screaming for nerfs like ignorant little children. Have you been paying any attention to the thief forums? The nerfers have been attacking everything from death blossom, to stealth. They’re dead set on obliterating thief burst, taking away stealth, and generally ruining the thief entirely.
The thief class isn’t overpowered. Could it use some tweaks? Perhaps, but the same could be argued of other classes as well. However, beyond the culling issue, there are little to no issues at all. If you’re going to nerf thief burst, then burst for other classes should be nerfed as well. People so easily overlook all the threads from thief and non-thief players alike about how easy it is to kill thieves. Look through the forums and you’ll find that skilled players have no problems dealing with thieves. But because bad players get beaten by thieves, they MUST be overpowered! HURRAY FOR LOGIC!!1!one!!
By that logic, every class should get nerfed for having ever defeated someone.
Incompetence indeed.
Wooshh. Right over your head.
No, i knew exactly what you were saying. But because i don’t agree with you, I’m stupid and didn’t get it, but whatever helps you sleep at night buddy. If it makes you feel better to think you won an internet argument, then by all means. Either way, I think I’m done here. Have a nice day.
No, you didn’t get what I was saying, and you still don’t get it.
Let me spell it out for you: Nerfing or Buffing makes no difference to balance. You can either nerf one or two over powered things in a week or buff hundreds of things to compensate on a few years.
The only purpose of “buffing” instead of “nerfing” is that it protects fragile egos.
You are so defensive it is like you are trying to prove the “fragile ego” part right.
