Wow, just wow. What pvp are you comparing it to? Pretty much all MMO pvp sucks.

Guild wars 2 pvp is better than 99 percent of MMOs simply because there aren’t shoehorned stat progression mechanics forced upon the PvP scene. My character isn’t cap, and I’ve been playing PvP for months.

On top of that, most other MMOs are predominantly PvE focused, so PvP can be fun, but the lack of overall design focus prevents the game from being good. SWTOR, Aion, WoW, etc. all fall into this box and its why all of the PvP will suck and be niche.

GW2 PvP isn’t successful at the moment because it lacks features, and build variety. We’ll see in the coming months if it will succeed or fail based on their efforts to improve. But from my experience, its the next best PvP next to GW1. Anything else has had a mixture of the above, and clunky unresponsive combat.

are u on crack? better pvp than any mmo wow . if u call 3 shotting people and zerging pvp then yeah best kitten out there…

The game came out in August…I think there’s room to improve, but raging on a free game that has sPvP, tPvP, and WvWvW at release seems a bit harsh.

free game? i could have sworn i payed for it? hmmm better call my credit card company there must be a mistake

Why do people keep calling it “Stealth”? These abilities are as anti-stealth as you can get.

Dancing in front of your enemy and then vanishing in plain sight is not stealth.

if thats how you use stealth then yes its dumb but most dont use it that way….

well since you can c&d into stealth and regen ini from stealth it makes those “decision making” points moot case i can stealth and quickly regen while other classes have to go on CD for 30+ sec while i have to wait maybe 3 sec to regen at least 6-8 initiative. Most thieves dont even need alot of initiative since steal, back stab c&d do so much dmg upfront and its all free except for C &D which only costs 4 ini if traited.

they whole idea of the initiative is a poor design especially compared to the LONG CD’s some classes have while the burst dmg of thieves is basically free since it comes from their auto atk

Was toying with my short bow thief its silly how much dmg the auto atk does hitting up to 3 people for bout 1-2k dmg from 900 with a auto atk is just silly fun but silly lol

its because the dev’s lack depth so its seen i the game they made…and since in their minds “its a great game” things dont change. on top of that they dont listen to their community who tell them from beta the issues they have with their games why? because in their minds “its a great game” so u see alot of things go unfixed…

The game will NEVER be massively altered to what we as a community would like it to be because 1 Anet doesnt listen to their customers. they already have our money so nothing we can do about that except NOT give them more when expansions come out.

If you feel u didnt get what you paid for dont give them more in hopes of getting what you wanted the first time you paid.

i totally agree i hate the constant missing of L.whip when im right in freaking front of the person and for fire grab i just kiss my rabbits foot and cross my fingers it lands….

shatterstone and DT 2 easy ways to get ur target to waste his endurance since most dodge out the way. can also be used to create distance between u and a melee target since soon as they si it they dodge, giving u an extra sec or 2. earth 3 and air 3 are great 2 blinds with short cd’s cant go wrong. scepter is very useful ikittennow how and when to use wut u have..

i love the 8k back stab followed by the 6k c&d man the amount of skill u must have……

whats so hard to understand? steal puts u into stealth. ur opponent cant see u to target u atk and on UR screen come out of stealth on my screen u dont to me ur still invis. thief hits c/d stealth again rinse repeat till opponent dead. stealth to down. opponent wondering who just killed me…. i never saw him.. thats wut pvping a thief is like

its doesnt matter when u cant see ur target from the first atk and then after the first atk u still cant see him tab targeting someone u dont know in which direction he is wont save u from a 9k bs. any thief video makes it so plain how broken the class mechanics are…

i have a thief and its easy to get that dmg and 5-7k from just the number 1 skill is stupid. i still play mine when i wanna run around and 2 shot people its old and boring and requires ZERO skill

yes how DUMB of the rest of us to not be able to target the invis thief omg why didn’t anyone else think of that !! TAB targeting does nothing if the thief is not rendered u moron u still wont see him until he is re-rendered wow how stupid r u…

Yes forget about the mechanics its all in our heads….

Spam autoattack, pbaoe, move diagonally around keeping your back difficult to face, keep turning do they can’t focus on your back. Etc.

I’ve watched a number of videos with many classes playing their classes well and roflstomping over thieves. I really think most people really suck at pvp and would rather blame game mechanics over their own incompetance.

No i don’t think i’m a great pvper either. I suck at it and realize that when i die it’s because i suck and not come up with lame excuses.

yet ANOTHER video of how unbalanced the thief class is gj

Do you even see how much dmg I take from a single hit? It’s not like I can dish out insane amounts and receive none. I just out play a small group in the JP. The class isn’t unbalanced…

if u some how imagine doing 9k dmg on a bs while ur opponent cant see u is balanced then i totally understand why u play thief. there is no such thing as balanced when it comes to ANY class that can stealth multiple times, health while stealth, and dish out more than 8k in 1 hit.

so is NO comparison to the thief class its broken since beta. it doesnt matter if u cant take alot of dmg the point is being in stealth u can avoid most of the dmg with 4-5 ways of going into stealth for more than 4 sec especially with the culling.

anyone who plays a thief and imagines its a balanced class is just a moron

yet ANOTHER video of how unbalanced the thief class is gj

what i like about using the focus which i have for a few days now was how defensive is lets you be the number 4/5 earth skills have saved me so many times !! if ur going skittenneed to last long enough for ur DOT dmg to tic them down and u need the fights to last a bit longer than a burst build which the focus helps u do. signet of fire i think is a much so u can stay in earth to do constant bleed dmg and have both fire/bleed going. plus the focus is great when ur fighting a pistal thief and they pop out of stealth and u hit earth 4 while bleeding them and they basically kill themselves lol. its fun but its not burst so the fights tend to be longer and u dont require the constant attuning and mobility of the d/d ele.
