Nope. Welcome to the thief club. :D
The Playstation controller is actually ergonomic to a sitting gamer. If you hold it in your lap it keeps your forearm and wrist straight.
This profession is getting “pipelined”.
(psst, the controls give me carpal tunnel :3)
I am listing every thief post that I see as neccessary (plus my rifle idea :3) when he finally gets his kitten here.
The class is better off deleted.
stuff
That quote right there proves the developers don’t know a thing about this profession. And if they don’t know kitten, they probably never played it too.
Good job anet.
Warriors don’t understand the phrase “nerfed to the ground” yet.
Hammer dps got nerfed by 40% fourty kitten percent if you want to pick UF,cleansing ire and fast hands guys.If you go full zerk you only lose 20%.Pretty small nerf huh?
Thank god they said they don’t want to nerf to the ground a class and they will do it moderately ? What is next then? 150% damage nerf in january probably.
Lolololol, you clearly haven’t played an Ele or a Thief since launch.
No.I played a warrior since launch wich was way worse than ele plus thief nerfs put together.
lest we forget. oh wait the eles and thieves forgot. btw WE ARE BACK. it was nice and kushy back in A tier but we decided to come down to D teir with you guys just to have some old nostalgia.
No you’re not. You still have viable builds.
anet devs———————->Warriors must be s/s LB dire bunker
Thieves must be d/d gank spec
Eles must be staff or GTFO broembrace your fellow brothers
Warriors are like body builders and this nerf is like the warrior got 2nd place in a weight lifting tournament.
I only use my thief for gathering mats and making deldrimor dowels. That’s it. :I
and how do you type your messages quickly enough?
When you select a text box it comes up with a keypad and you input w/e with the directional buttons and X. Its takes a while to get good with it. However there is also an option to connect a keyboard.
You increase aggro every time you heal… EVERY time you heal.

Don’t forget the kittentiest heal scaling.
Okay this is how it will work…
You have venoms equipped in your inventory you will get an item buff called Venom Well. This item allows you to inflict “Venom Points” on anything you hit. The passive are what uses these venom points to inflict conditions. A venom’s active creates a combo field at the selected location and it deals little to no damage. These fields are comparable to Caltrops except that these fields will add 5 VP to anyone hit by the initial blast and 1 VP per second.
Whenever you score a crit on an enemy that enemy gets 1 “Venom Point” which lasts for 10s and will stack to 25. Once the VP breaks a certain threshold, adding venom points will also add certain conditions. Venoms with multple conditions that have different thresholds will will start inflicting multiple conditions so long as the threshold is passed.
WARNING: If you have no venoms on cooldown you will instantly lose the Venom Well buff!
The Venoms will be listed as such:

Ahem Im going to leave my idea here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Rifles-4-thieves-pls/first
fixed*
So, what do we do? We make a stink.
You will NEVER make more of a stink than thieves made for themselves from the perspective of seven other class communities.
Perma-stealth needed to die in fire.
Off-meta builds get some love with faster general initiative gain and a few scattered buffs to traits that have nothing to do with stealth-heavy builds. Thieve experience more risk from certain types of builds while still remaining hands down the class most capable of disengaging from any fight at will.
The endless refrain to people driven to the brink of hysteria by thieves’ bloody IMMORTALTY via stealth has been “learn to play”.
Learn to play.
People will always complain because in the end they have no desire to learn. They want their kills handed to them and so long as they want that they are going to be bad players.
If I was anet, I would make sure:
1.) At least one of my devs mained every profession.
2.) Those developers theorycraft the kitten out of those profession and give me reports on the condition of every stat, skill, profession exclusive and trait.
3.) Once a month, we collaborate about metas between professions and sand them down so that they don’t remain a meta.
4.) That the classes enjoyment is based on the playstyle instead effectiveness. This means that everything will be effective in everything more or less, depending on the class.
5.) That once the classes are close to how I like it, that they are not touched again until additions are made and the devs tell the screaming little kids THEMSELVES “We are not going to be doing anything to this profession until we add something to it. If you are having trouble with a profession, the best way to learn how to fight one is to either train with your friends in sPvP or roll one. Again this profession is good where it is.”
Because I would rather see something working right than just shut little kids up.
Good thing I gtfoed.
Roll something else.

Areyou sure the PS4 or the XBox One have enough power for GW2 and the Controller enough keys?
Yeah.
X = Basic attack/select
Square = dodge
Circle = Jump
Triangle = Interact (looting, using, etc.)
Start = Hero Menu (including other menus)
Select = Map
Left Stick = movement
Right Stick = Camera movement (AoE targeting will be center of screen)
L1 = Lock/Drop target
Directional buttons <—> = Change target
Direction buttons ^v = camera zoom.
*Shoulder buttons except for L1 are customizable.
R1 press = Weapon Skills (will replace the right button commands with weapon skill commands)
R1 Hold = Healing skill
R2 Press = Profession skills
R2 Hold = Elite Skill
L2 L3 and R3 = whatever you want.
As for power, as long as arenanet optimizes their game there will be nothing to worry about.
Lol perma-uselessness build.
I really don’t get these “my thief sucks” -threads. I still find thief as one of the most powerful roaming / trolling classes for wvw, and s/d is very strong in spvp. Sure, you aren’t as effective in the blobwars as a warroior or a guard is, but is that really what you wanted to do when you rolled a rogue class?
I wanted to be useful when I rolled a thief class.
Thief Exodus started months ago. Thief Exodus day is somewhere in august or september.
Most rerolled warriors. More free kills for us. :D
GIVE US THE NERF BAT!! I WANNA BE OP AGAIN!!
:c
Ah now I see what you did there.
I would be fine with more wings IF:
1.) They were a little bigger.
2.) They remained in a stowed position until I jumped.
EDIT: I really hate the animation.
(edited by Zacchary.6183)
My hopes is that the new legendaries do not involve rainbows and other things that make me have to punch a wall when I look at them.
The only difference is that in the case of warriors there are no false accusations. warriors are really OP
L2P noob. Make a warrior, play around with it. Find out what a warrior does by playing one yourself.
ok you called me noob. I have over 100+ tPvP wins with my warrior, of course it’s not the only class I can play but I am sure I have a better knowledge than you on how to play this class. How many tPvP did you have? How many tPvP did you played on your Warrior?
I am honest when I’m saying that this class is so overpowered compared to anyone else. I have my personal experience supporting me, I don’t play many hotjoins if not for a quick testing, so my knowledge comes from tPvP only and I can compare Warriors to at least Thieves, Necros, Rangers and Guardians since I usually switch between those classes when I play with my team, and I can assure you that the warrior is the most easiest faceroll class I have ever played. And in conclusion I am not just talking of that perma stun\regen build that everyone and his mother already knows, there are even more OP builds around than that one. I would say that the warrior is the most completed class reguarding viable tournament builds that can be made.
Now go back to play your PvE mate and thank you for remember me I am still noob compared to better and more experienced players, of course I am not talking of you.If he has 200+ wins on his warrior in tPvP does it make his argument much stronger than yours?
in that case we can start a discussion on a solid base, cos both of us can bring valid points in the discussion based on the real experience, but since he doesn’t have any tPvP experience while I have on many different classes and still he is calling me “noob” not the opposite, well yes my point is more valid than its. I can compare thief, Necro, Ranger, Guardian gameplay to warrior and I can say Warrior is OP compared to these classes.
I never said I am pro and never called other “noobs”, actually I even admitted I am noob compared to more experienced players, what I’m saying is that tPvP experience matters a lot. But usually the less experienced players are the ones that fill their arguments with trash talking.Ah. but the entire basis of this thread is what Zacharry(op) had posted. I was simply showing you the other side. Now you see. I hate thieves, but hey thats me and Ill get over it. Throwing the L2P argument is by its fundamentals simply discrediting the other players experience in the game. I literally wreck warriors, I don’t see how they’re a problem. But yet you do? Maybe its a L2P issue? See? Back to square one. You see how all these people defend thieves by saying ‘L2P’, and, that’s an okay argument to use apparently. Its in your signature. And you cannot deny it. But wait until someone tells you to ‘L2P’ against another profession that you clearly think is overpowered and you go crazy
I think this is the point that the OP was trying to get at. The L2P argument is only as credible as the person who uses it, and somone who uses the L2P argument shouldn’t ever use it against another profession, or else they’re a hypocrite.
I will disagree. When thieves say El Toopy because the person its being directed at has shown no experience with the profession nor any desire to gain any. The goal of shoving L2P in someone’s face is to get them to learn by experiencing the class first hand.
This is true with any profession as well. Learn the profession by playing the profession to the point where you understand it enough to almost read it.
Viking i thought you stopped playing your thief.
lolzcelestialstatssuck
Looks familiar tho.
On my warrior I can win v 20 WITH MY FISTS!!
EDIT: Actually my warrior is a Charr and clawing is not my style so I guess I’ll just use MY FOREHEAD!!

Standing – by – for – response.
I’m too good for Ice Wurms.
… we went to the warrior forum and complained about easily counterable things with the same false accusations everyones using. And then back up our words with crappy video montages of warriors 1-shotting bads and afk people.
:D

Me being OP with my sword.
You all do not know thief swag.
I wish they can nerf whiners especially when it’s focused on stuff that can be easily defeated.
If you can’t do it solo then try it with a team. Sometimes you gotta let go of that 1 vs 1 ego and things become a lot funner that way except for the player that’s being jumped.
You know as they say don’t bite more than you can chew
Welcome to the thief club!
Enjoy some of our delicious homemade brownies baked with the finest tears we have collected over the months.
You thought the Flames of Kryta were pointless? Well light them up because we ’bout to burn these bad lettuce heads to the ground!
GO TURIUH!
Also, FOR THE ASH LEGION!
In general no, but condition thieves are still effective with conditions so long as they are the only ones doing it.
Still no PW fix… -_-
the only fixes we will ever get will be in the form of a nerf bat.
This is for you.
Attachments:
The game costs nothing to play after the initial purchase. That is what is keeping me playing.
I am the welcoming comittee.
I run s/p and either SB or p/p 25/30/0/15/0 full valk with zerk trinkets for pve.
Little do you know.
As much as I would love to do that, I have no experience with programming. :I
Lemme go get a degree first.
Mercy killing is productive when the opposite direction is a very high and very thick brick wall.
Until anet gets a dev on a thief, who will willingly be our voice to the balancing team, this profession is trash.
