A question on possible health steal setup.

in Thief

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

Ok, so this is just a general inquiry to those of you out there who may have tried this combination:

Omnomberry Pie + Superior Sigil of Blood + Signet of Malice + Invigorating Precision.

For those too lazy to check buffs etc:

Omnomberry pie: 66% chance to steal life on critical.
Superior Sigil of Blood: 50% chance to steal health on critical (5 second CD).
Signet of malice: Heals when you attack.
Invigorating Precision: You are healed for 15% of outgoing critical hit damage.

I have a few questions really. Has anyone tried it, is it effective and what minimum crit chance would you suggest to make it viable?

malice + invigorating precision is enough to stay alive in open world PvE atleast that what i use when im farming bags to make some quick gold.

if ur talking about PvP i dont think the whole setup will ever help you in any possible way the damage out put from other classes is simply to high to be able to hold your self together, your most likely better off trying to burst the kitten out of them before you die.

as for PvE if u run S/D just spam pistol whip > evades + damage + hp return if needed perfect.
i just run whatever build in open world pve crap though all works fine for me aslong i pack up enough mobs at the hard times to hit them all i get tons of HP back

Stealth & Blind Changes (Open Discussion)

in Thief

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

honestly i dont understand why thiefs want more blinds and more stealth (yes i know mesmer has almost perma stealth which is bullkitten also) what thiefs need from my pov is none of the above..

we dont need stealths or buffs on it we dont need blinds or buffs on it.
we need to be able to move along with the latest patch with insane damage increase i have hard time to enjoy my thief when im around (not inside cus thats insta dead) the Blob 1 wrong move and i end up between few people and if im out of endurance im pretty much done, yes im a S/D thief and i know its prolly worst set out there atm but i honestly think D/P or D/D sitting back perma on hide tactics is really dumb gameplay and bit to easy..

so for me they need to add something for thief to be able to keep up with latest update damage which is defense but we dont need the defense in some kind of skills they could just give us a HP boost or toughness boost passive the kitten i know..

but last thing Anet should do is touch stuff like blinds/stealths these 2 things are fine on thief, a well played D/P thief will kill most classes or just gtfo and restart the fight constantly.
a well played D/D thief will do the same with lil more struggle but still

basically a D in main hand for thief with w/e off hand is still kind of playable mainly cus of that Backstab burst while the rest of weapons in mainhand seem to fail horrible if u compare it to a Dagger

Good news for staff lovers...

The Death of Range Increasing Traits

in Thief

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

To be fair, a pistol is not a long ranged weapon. And its not like thieves are lacking in damage. Stealth burst, stealth burst some more. Blind and stomp. Am I missing anything?

You are missing several things, yes.

Pistol is indeed a shorter ranged weapon, which is probably why it was designed as a 900/1050 weapon originally. At any rate, that is a question of theme, and has no place in a discussion about one profession out of nine being (unintentionally?) left out of what appears to be a game-wide shift in trait design.

The rest of your post seems to be bog standard complaints about a profession you don’t play doing things they were designed to do. Again, how does this relate to the core issue being discussed in this thread?

Wrong. My point is, why would a thief need a long range weapon when they excel in close range combat. A good thief will win a fight more often than they lose a fight. I don’t see the point.

a good thief will get 2 hitted more often then 2 shotting his enemy.
or a good thief will just play the “kitten ” mode and constantly hide and makes fight so long cus its only way to win..

while in reality thief is a “burst character”
burst should be a char that is suppose to come in unload load of damage and gtfo no?

well that burst part we suck at pretty bad.

Topic speaks for itself. From 100 to dead real quick. Torment, burning, bleeding, confusion, dead. I have no problem with condition damage being powerful, it SHOULD BE. What SHOULDN’T be is the overwhelming lack of condi removal on all but 1-2 classes. This comes from someone who plays cheese mesmer condi build, cheese engie condi build, even ranger cheese condi build. There’s too much conditions being applied and not enough condition removal.

its not just conditions its the whole dumb damage boost they did, you cant down grade conditions while direct damage is still beyond insane..
honestly im not the best thief out there but neither the worst but playing thief in WvW nowadays dont even come near the other zerg even when ur in the middle of your blob u just drop dead in milli seconds..

IT'S HAPPENING! Challenging Group Content

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

OF HAPPENINGS ( ?° ?? ?°)

Hello everyone. Some of you may know me from in-game but for the majority I’m a fresh face around. Aka my first forum post. Do not worry, I’m heavily invested in the franchise since Prophecies came out.

Long story short I. AM. EXCITED. AT A GALACTIC LEVEL for the new Group challenging content! What can it be? Hopefully raids. A token of appreciation for A-net for not abandoning the project despite the whole opposition. Are you guys as excited as me? Too much to rant in a post thus I made a video.

If you take the time to watch it be aware of the heavy accent as I am not a native English speaker, hopefully you can understand what I am saying. I will try to invest myself from this day forward way more directly into the community and all kinds of discussions are appreciated Video Rant!

What do you expect they will announce? What are your fears or your desires ( ?° ?? ?°)? I for one hope for instanced content, an exclusive reward, hard difficulty and for the love of the Fractal Reset, please, not one-shots and HP sponges.

let me put it this way.
1? year ago tons of mobs spawned on cursed shore etc, people cried for less mobs cus it was to “hard”.
when a dev says “challenging” they actually mean challenging for handless people…

even if they manage to do it i hope its open world stuff and not crap inside dungeons, cus i rather play game “solo” i dont care if theres 100 people around me but i do care when some “wise people” gonna tell me how fast i need to steam roll tru a stupid dungeon or what gear im suppose to use no thnx thus why i prefer the open world stuff on the other hand i dont do that much PvE but when i do i just wanna grind which is pain in the kitten right now with anet having mobs nerfed like hell

Another Double-Fractal Daily Day

Is there an issue with them?

I find them preferable as they make fractals more rewarding to play which is a boost they really need.

yes pretty lame to do fractals for example im playing for 2 years and i havent seen a fractal from the inside yet, do i miss something? personally i dont but getting forced into fractal for a daily ill go back do my WvW daily.

Bring the zerg back to the open world zones

reddie.5861

the open world is great, but the monsters are placed so far apart from each other and its really a horrible experience to farm stuff in open world cus of this reason.

unless your doing a event on certain classes there might be hordes of mobs for you too tag and it might be worth it.. outside that i think Anet should revert their change they did 1 or 2 years ago and put mobs back in place that they have removed..

i mean right now it kinda feels like go from event to event game just some grind on a spot doesnt really exist anymore sadly. Events for some classes are horrible also cus they cant even tag quick enough in order to get loot from mobs before they get smashed to the ground in 1 mili second.

honor of humanity taking this one for example but there are more anyway.

can someone explain me why people even want this sword?

World Population Changes Are Coming

in WvW

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

I am just concerned new players and returning players will think the population has dropped. The populations are the same if I understand correctly, the count is just ignoring everyone not participating in WvW.

correct but they had free transfers for ages, meaning ALOT of people already went to bandwagon by then. then we had paid transfers where more bandwagons went to these servers slowly. which is all fine i dont really mind but Anet doesnt seem to get it that other servers are quite empty and do not give the WvW feeling that the “full” servers on EU have.

most people who want to WvW have moved up the list to the full servers when they could the new players or people that want to expierence this wont be able too.
cus its not fill up 1 server u have to fill up 3 servers to have some fun in WvW unless u enjoy winning constantly without problems till u finally move up in tier.

World Population Changes Are Coming

in WvW

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

So a question for the poster who says his friends and family are on another “ghost town” server. Why weren’t they on your server to start? Why did they stay on a “ghost town” server for this long to all of a sudden, after ANet changed the transfer protocol, want to move to a server that has topped T1 for months on end?

She didn’t start the game until after my server was full, and has been at work during the small times it was open. She was waiting for a day off to be able to move over, now she is just looking for a new game for us to play together due to this. That is how it is now for anyone on a full server, they should not even bother asking friends family or coworkers to come play with them now since they will not be able to. Systems like this only ensure players go elsewhere to play games together instead of play this one. IF you can go to another game that not only does not charge you to play with friends, it also allows you to play with them all, why would you try to do so on one that doesn’t? ALL this does is send players elsewhere causing a decline in the game population further.

should have had read this first
just bought game 2 hours ago for my wife and realised my server is full, now transfering off wouldnt be a problem for me if not every god kitten very high pop server was (SP DE FR) international servers are all set as medium, well i know what its like to be on medium server in WvW no1 leads half the time its completely dead..

just remove this new “feature” its crap.

edit:
maybe merge some servers? i dont really have problem leaving my server but i would love too have a server where WvW is alive everyday not once in a week.. im on Farshiver peaks tbh its not full, yes theres a queue during prime time but thats only on the map where some1 is commanding if commander is only on a borderland ur likely free to join EBG..

but whatever first transfer off from FoW cus of a hacker where Anet is not doing a jackkitten for a month straight.
now im most likely forced to join lower tier server again where u barely find any action in WvW, just in order to play together with my wife.

its amazing.

edit again:
Lf EU server that has pretty much always some action going on during EU prime times..
it cant be a tagged SP DE FR server i want it to be an international server. Preferable not a easy mode WvW also (meaning run over your enemies like its nothing).
any1?

Opportunity Cost: Why WvW is Dying

in WvW

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

Rewards never brought players to WvW in the firs place, so in my opinion, that debunks that theory.

correct, but it wouldnt be too bad if WvW players have chance on stuff people get from running dungeons etc.

i mean i personally didnt finish any dungeon in this game, nor i really give a kitten like u said i didnt came to WvW for rewards but on the other hand it wouldnt be to bad if rewards would get upscaled a lil..

if you can get item X only by doing Y instance they should ram this into wvw as low drop on player kills or whatever, i think WvW and PvE should have same rewards.

I've switched classes. Anet killed my thief.

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

No matter how bad thiefs are, i will continue playing. Tried different classes (warrior, ranger, necro, guardian) but nothing is satisfying enough.

this even tho in PvE my thief is “fine” (i barely do any PvE thus why the “fine”) in PvP yes i feel lil difference but its not really the thief nerf its the insane boost on damage all classes got where thief didnt get anything in deffence but a nerf in my point of view.

tho i can deal with that i love my thief i miss my old vigor but i suck it up and keep trying i die alot more then before but im stubborn person also
i refuse to give up on my S/D.
i do not like the stealthy d/p build while its far superior now i just dont wanna play like that.

if i wanted to bandwagon easy mode classes for WvW id play guardian and just spam with my staff

“and yes there are a large percentage of us that just play WvW.”

No, the people that ONLY play WvW is minuscule. People can MOSTLY play WvW (I do), but people that ONLY play WvW is a very small group (more or less non-existent).

The new map is massive. They are also adding new siege and revamping several of the WvW mechanics.

But fact remains that the largest part of the player based does play PvE, so it makes sense for them to spend most resources on PvE.

no offense i play mostly WVW i would do it only but at the moment i have huge amount of time so i do pve also a lil nowadays..

the huge new map? thank you did u see how it looks? its all filled with bottle necks and its TOO BIG. i dont need a huge map i want to fight not another EOTM map where dodging is the key to success..

Question about Gear (PvE)

in Guardian

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

So i havent played my guardian for ages, i mostly play thief but today i want to get lil more into PvE aspect, i love spamming mindless with my staff but it just doesnt cut the mobs..

i can get pretty much any armor set but i dunno if running full berzerker on guardian is a wise thing.

im not into dungeons i just love bashing mobs for hours on cursed shore or w/e..
but i have honestly no clue about guardians trying to find guides etc but most of them are out dated.

could someone just help me around a little bit, by giving proper DPS spec and still being able to handle a few mobs on my kitten ..

weapons used i dont mind yes i love staff but if greatsword is far better then ill use that or scepter or whatever.
and what gear, and runes. I would appreciate that

build i have (no clue if its good) http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQB4ghoytw91f4KYDGhbx2lBAA-e , only the build is there no armor etc added..

hope BT people are happy with their hacking tools on their side having nothing to do in WvW also just another PvE map for you guys i guess..

Yes, every1 in BT borderland is happy that there are hackers in GW2…. (ow my god…)
and people like you make it even worse. Your post make it looks like we are happy that we got 2 hackers, who we all reported ourself. Again pointing fingers. Thats soooo pro….
Sorry, but had to react on this 1.
I hope you join our borderland 1 time and see whats really going on. Maybe then you feel ashame about this post….. i would if i wrote nonsence like this.

join ur border land?
lets get facts straight, UW > FoW > BT right?

UW had drama it went to FOW > BT > UW
BT/UW was more or less the same, it wasnt so much fun (omg i was on the winning side and didnt enjoy it much kitten ..)
like u might have figured out i dont care to lose or win.
BT has/had 2 hackers and all of sudden people join WvW on BT side, and u think its “these people” that made the diff on BT? (maybe not you but some1 else below your post)

these hackers might have gotten your moral up or got some karma train PvE people into your WvW maps..
none the less BT is bad you will get crushed to worst server of all EU again without ur 2 hackers, your moral will colapse and BT is same as before..

if BT would have done this without hacking i would be cheering for you guys but sadly BT isnt able to do this without hacks..
your saying you dont support these hackers yet u join them on WvW and protect towers/keeps. if u wouldnt support them u wouldnt join WvW either.

like i said i have left FoW already cus of kittenes like u, u never join WvW and then all of sudden when u are “winning” all u guys come out of your caves trying to say that its not just the 2 hackers..

i lol’d but whatever floats ur boat will see how long these hackers last on BT and when they are gone for good your moral will sink like a brick to bottom of ocean and ill welcome you back to worst EU server in WvW

did u ever play thief ur self? with new patch ur just beyond useless in WvW. like someone mentioned we are only good for flipping camps and sentry for the rest we cant do a jackkitten.

go with the blob? ur a melee who cant even handle 2 hits
use short bow your range is so short if u do 1 mistake as in step to much forward to early your dead..

i have already left FoW, miss my lil server but unable to do any kind of WvW is no fun for me.. dont care to lose hard when its done in a legit way.. UW was running all over us also before they had drama and i had absolutely no problem with it.

its sad that Anet is not doing a jackkitten about it, lucky for me i can buy gems by using gold else i would have just quit the game.

hope BT people are happy with their hacking tools on their side having nothing to do in WvW also just another PvE map for you guys i guess..

think UW/FoW moral is so low with WvW and prolly many people have left the server that even when BT goes up in rank u stand no chance vs who ever drops in rank in new match up.. when all kitten has left and with new transfer stuff coming up i might come back to my lovely under populated FoW but for now kitten it.

Staff Thief is NOT CONFIRMED

who cares what weapon we get anyway, i mean lets do it the way most people want.

here u have a staff u think your a guardian now? u can be a frontline brainless idiot spamming 1? youll still get rekt and i will still use my short bow over a staff in that case..

thief needs a range weapon not a crappy staff cus i assume we will not get ranged spells like a ELE if we would get a staff

tho like i said i dont really need a new weapon on thief rather see balance happening ingame

Condi Nerf!

dunno why people say conditions are now “usefull”..

played condition build before and honestly i was face kitten everything in 1v1 2v1…
condition was already fine pre patch. i dont really give a kitten about conditions in this patch tho i do agree that damage in GENERAL needs to be toned down in WvW..

if i could only change one thing in Anet i would change the range off all non melee classes to 900 or even less conditions are not a big problem tbh.. the dumb gap in between 2 blobs (blob) random circles everywhere (blob) < melee’s ???? ?? ? ? ? > ye thats correct melee’s are needed in WvW but still it would be more fun in my eyes if it wouldnt always start as god kitten range fight untill some1 decides to dodge tru all this god kitten random circles everywhere ..

dealing with thiefs and mesmers.

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

thiefs are not so bad unless ur facing a dagger/pistol thief.
with thiefs just dont fight them at spot they want u to be, im a thief if i face a D/P thief i just dont let them catch me in their hide, i keep my distance so i can make first move.

if they dont get their first move off 90% of the thiefs run off like kitten.. ( im no D/P thief btw i dont sit back on hide)

mesmers lol i dunno i just burst them down if i get the chance but it happends more often just like u i get wrecked out of nowhere within 2 hits (feels like it atleast) and im done.

mesmers are just super OP atm

as for zerg fights i dont think its the thief that bothers you there, unless i read wrong but u complain about thief there also..
while i can tell u how i fight when i follow commander (im not a amazing thief either) i have to avoid majority of red circles on the ground i cant walk tru them like most of my blob.. i have to use my short bow because moment i use my sword/dagger and get in range a lil to early i get melted down by mindless staff spam from guardians..
if i run at front line i get kitten d by rangers using long shot or something..

its not exactly a joy to be a thief and running with the blob..
i might be doing stuff wrong on a thief in blob fight i dont know that, im just trying to stay behind the enemy blob, trying to stop the enemy solo players to go back to their commander.

I and some other person return to game after 2 years of respite 2 weeks ago.(story about 6 account is real story we have lots of accounts from our friends who stopped play 2year ago) . We was part of 1 guild who bring BT to 1st place in server rating for 4 weeks… we are know WvW mechanic perfectly. As you see lots of BT keeps upgraded up to waypoint etc it is part of our efforts. But we don’t cheating . And we want to know who is cheating. pls send me personal message with name of cheaters. tnx

u can check the link in some1 signature few post up, tho im glad BT got some people on WvW now and hopefully if the cheater ever stays away u guys keep up the “good” work, but atm upgrading is easy cus no1 is even trying from UW/FoE whatever we take whatever we upgrade he by pass everything straight to the guard he need and takes it.

so ye with no preasure its quite easy to do all this :p.

just waiting for you guys to go up in rank so we are done with this bullkitten from BT.

i dont think its hard for Anet to catch these people.. matter off a few hours, gm’s can simply flip keeps/towers and then wait it out in hide mode.
its boring for them, well i have boring things to do in my job also..

i dont think UW nor FoW cares in what color the keep/towers get flipped in, aslong u ban these tools..

as for the guy who answered me saying PvE is bad, yes its terrible (i hate it also) but now i get the chance to do map completion after ?? years playing as far i know (yes i really dont read things about gw2) its needed for my Legendary weapon if i ever get one cus so far i have been perfectly fine with my gear bought with honor badges.

honestly i dont wanna transfer off i really like FoW we are kinda weak but i just love it i didnt care when UW went around map rolling everything, atleast it was done fair and square i dont care to lose but when i lose everything when u have no chance to even deffend i really dont like it anymore..

so it pushed me towards PvE stuff for now cus the arena PvP is something i dislike even more..

Anet should Merge servers as for PvE people it doesnt matter on which server they are, WvW people are the people who are in need of their server players..

some servers are simply dead and we cant blame these server this game is already 10 years old ofcourse certain servers die..
i dont see why a merge is not possible for dead WvW servers in order to blow some live into them.

i mean even if you take FoW + UW we still most likely will never have a queue for EB, i havent seen a Queue on FoW EB EVER think im playing casually for quite some time now i dont really do any PvE only login to go for some WvW action thats it.

Which EU server for WvW

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

If you want good fights with a consistent community I’d say go for Gunners Hold. I’m currently on Aurora Glade and I’m giving serious consideration to switching. Were currently fighting Gunners & Elona Reach and our turnout is pathetic (Too many fairweather WvWers who are only interested when we can farm noobs).

Gunners have good turnouts regardless who they’re fighting.

Why don’t you l2p and carry your server?

Wow that is classic….. and sfr karma/bandwagon train player telling others how to do wvw

88 tier 1 wins. I carry server so hard that i can play EotM whole time. I don’t even get this band wagoning stuff. Why don’t you just select server in launch and start winning like we did?

not like u got bandwagons transfering over to sfr lol..
infact i left sfr to bottom server.. yes sfr is “good”(not really) cus they have 100 toons around commander he plants 20 rams and they are all build in a second door drops in 2 seconds and you cap anything moment you reach the npc to kill…

honestly sfr is good if u like the brainless blob zerging, if u prefer some proper small scaled pvp where it takes more then just spamming your number 1 staff skill you really have to go down in tiers to find some proper fights..

players in lower tiers are no better or worse then in t1 servers just the community is different or they have less hardcore tools running around.. this makes the server less blobby and ALOT more fun. i dont regret leaving SFR

tho i dont see any1 from FoW or UW joining BT, neither any1 will join them from higher up servers as some1 from BT claimed here.. no guild is transfering to bottom list server.. neither is any1 going to join BT when u go up in rank now no1 cares appartenly but the higher u go in rank the more people start to care.. moment the hackers got hit and are gone u guys get rammed down the list again and all u earned as BT player is disrespect towards all servers..

having a cheater on your side doesnt just effect that player it effects every single guy on WvW as equally kittenbag for even supporting them.

gw atm is no joy with only PvE stuff but its alot better then giving any BT player the joy to cap/kill me(or others in WvW)

Blacktide hacker is busy again

about to leave FoW this is just beyond bullkitten..

BT is worse WvW server out there (they dont even have players if FoW and UW both play normal) yet these 2 servers cant cap a kitten i wonder why..
Anet doesnt even give a kitten, basically i have to drop down 20$ in order to find some joy again in this game cus PvE doesnt really attract me at all..

only Anet is dumb enough if u think any1 is capable of holding all keeps on map and manage to build teleports in all keeps without other servers doing anything.
all hail the gm’s

Which EU server for WvW

in WvW

t1 eu servers is pretty boring, unless your a guardian and have a staff then u can enjoy the blob x vs blob y running into each other spammin 1 11 111 11 11 and then turn around and repeat till one of the 2 blobs won..

if thats what u enjoy go for any t1 server else i would sink a bit on the list if i was u.
transfered away from t1 server not long ago PvP is just plain kittened… community on the other hand on t1 servers are far superior too the lower servers but i guess that what makes them a t1 server.. having far more pvpers willing to win but honestly the PvP on these servers is not something i was happy about i sinked so deep that i went to last server on the list well they went up to 3rd last by now but w/e atleast PvP here is not blob vs blob and havent seen this kittened running into each other and spam 1 till 1 blob vanished..

why is it to early to say that S/D is bit over nerfed?

p/d > s/d now wtf am i suppose to do when hes in hide? before i had my obvious dodge over a p/d thief now im equal to p/d thief without hide every second..

i got kitten d multiple times in a row by p/d thief simply cus whenever i start the fight and i dont finish him in stun / paralize / whatever u call it.
he takes control > hide > attack > hide > attack gf that was it..

s/d thief atm is a canon flodder we lost our deffense but i dont give a kitten its only way i enjoy playing thief and ill just be that disabled thief trying hard..

Thank you!!

ah that guy explains perfectly how i feel..

just go head to head and see who dies first more or less and happends to be the squeezy thief most of the time. notice yesterday how im getting hit for 2/3k hits by guardian then i was like u need only 4 hits to down me where i barelly tickle your balls but w/e i just hold on to my thief nerfed or not i just hope Anet will change stuff..

hmm i tried shadow arts instead of acro but honestly i dunno where you friend is pulling run speed from?
i dont use the signet for 25% run speed, i dont have any hides also apart from cloak and dagger. in my setup atleast

dont like Anet changes(((

was having a good time with almost perma 140% endurance recharge rate now only 90% sucks but i doubt Anet will change anything
i already figured out what Anet did was nerfing vigor from 100% to 50% making my playstyle 50% “slower” which is crap but ill try to adjust..
evading was pretty much my only deffense against 2 or more enemies. 1v1 not much has changed apart from fact that i just got destroyed by ranger for first time in some time >.<

dont like Anet changes(((

Something wrong with thieves

in PvP

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

Something wrong with thieves?!!!?

We actually have to learn how to play more then the 1 & the 2 button. :O !?!

thats not the problem im face rolling my whole keyboard for that matter, fact that they nerfed my endurance recharge by kitten VIGOR turns out that they completely kitten d my play style i never used hide much…

was pure on dodge had almost perma 140% endurance recharge up but now i feel like a fat guardian in WvW while my “guardian” is not lvl 80 but more likely lvl 30..
got 1 shotted by mesmer who i didnt even see ever all i saw was a trail of clones popping up after i got one shotted..
now i dont really give a kitten to get one shotted but that they basically hit most thiefs with nerf stick where it hurts is pretty lame..

dunno how u play your thief but im all ears if u can tell me how to play thief with no hide only hide i have is the 3 seconds hide from cloak in shadows skill.. which i dont really use but w/e

all i want is vigor back to 100% i dont give a kitten if they nerf my damage i just want my only deffence back which was dodge.
in 1v1 not much has changed for me but i dont do arenas or w/e only thing i do is WvW good luck finding them 1v1 there so ye im pretty much screwed..

good thing is i dont play GW2 everyday maybe 2/3 times a week sometimes i dont play for few weeks. so i dont really give a rats kitten to not login anymore

but like i said

VIGOR VIGOR VIGOR all iwant is my vigor recharge rate back to 100% and not 50% like we have now

What do you feel about your class in WvW

thief nerfed to the bone, i dont care if my damage is better now they removed thiefs main deffense by nerfing recharge rate of endurance hard.. got 4 dodges then i relay heavily on spamming my skill dodge which is bullkitten where others got all kind of buffs or good deffense we got nothing.

Evading and question about S/D build

in Thief

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

like? dodge based evades? or weapon skill evades?

any kind of evade, i just feel like im like any other class now i can ram two times evade and i have massive cooldown while in most fights i have 90% recharge rate on endurance

like vs a mesmer i dont stand a chance i see a mesmer maybe twice in whole fight they are basically perma hide all i see is a trail of clones coming out of nowhere (where ever he is in hide)

basically i lost track on how thief is suppose to deffend them self..

Im sorry for newbie questions but im quite a casual player and i only do WvW but now i notice like every1 else that recharge rate on evade bar is quite SLOW…
i use 40% recharge food etc but i feel like a slow kitten guardian now..

now obviously my question is, im playing S/D thief with traits acro/power/trickery. Did they really nerf our evading to dead? to point that i can just hacknslash till i die? so far in WvW i have no problem with new changes apart from fact that my evading is totally kitten now…

i notice that i cant even build up Might anymore aswell tho my damage is fine..

now all i wanna know is since im casual as hell and dont have much time to test things out if someone has maybe new build out there for S/D thiefs..

Can we get free xfers?

went from Fissure of Woe to some t1 server not long ago.

is the difference huge? yes t1 server work together like bosses etc etc.
was it fun? not at all unless u enjoy running in a blob of people where Blob A runs into Blob B spam all skills turn around and repeat till 1 of the 2 Blobs have no players left.
then go ahead join T1 server.

now im aware my class (thief) is terrible for this PvP, i just started to miss FoE more and more.
then again when i returned to FoE i instantly missed how this T1 server was working together, where in FoE no1 really works together like that.

FoE is PvE server it has tons and tons of people but none of them is willing to go WvW.
yes i would like to transfer again but never again to a T1 server its horrible apart from watching how whole server can work together everything else was horrible

For HoT can we get rid of Food and such

in WvW

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

Or just nerf the ridiculously strong +-40% condi duration foods…

why?
look at how long and how wide these pools on the ground are? isnt that ridiculous aswell?
having ~5s bleed crap on floor while that stacks up or w/e u dump on floor

why not change AoE ? as in make AoE hit on target u have and ~ in 200 range of him hit 5 more players? that would make it more fun for me instead of what we have now
like this i play..

lets attack that guy.
nope 30 AoE circles block me off from that, hmm kay ill run around.
nope another 30 AoE circles popped out of nowhere.
whole Blob is standing in their AoE circles me as squeezy thief cant handle all that, kitten it im out and i left without getting a kitten done again, unless im gonna do some silly hits with my short bow

see what i did there that food isnt really helping me ALOT but it does help me a lil to run tru these ridiculous amount of bullkitten circles pumping out debuffs..

Sugg: Please! remove Burst

in WvW

Posted by: reddie.5861

reddie.5861

no offense but in order to burst as melee especially as thief u cant just go like u insist

like shoopdawhoop i run into the blob i kitten one and whoop im gone again.
more likely whoops i ended up in blob before u managed to read that crap thief is already dead i doubt its diff for any other class.

I think another thief for 2 reasons:

1. more stealth between you too and you won’t be depended on him for stealth (like when hiding in enemy structures)

2. focus from enemies – when a stealthy class goes invisible, in team fights, the visible party member usually gets focused. If you can handle the extra focus during fights, then ele/guard (for boons) are nice choices.

Almost all my guildies play mesmer and it’s often frustrating to play a non-stealthy class with them, especially since we try to take on group of similar size and I get focused from more people.

cough underworld cough similar size (buahahaha) get real xD none of the 2 servers ur up to can setup a fight.

anyway i wouldnt go thief thief. face the wrong class and ur thief thief setup is useless unless u both dont mind to run away find another victim. on the other hand thief thief is nice if u want to pick the fights.
i guess both things have their ups and downs
