I guess he’s talking about roaming. Yes it will still be viable.
@ Dagins : in WvW most thief don’t go full GC, they usually want to have something like 15k hp just to have a bit of resistance. Valkyrie gear is one of the way to gain that 15k hp. And since most of these Thief use Hidden Killer, a small lost of precision don’t affect that much your damage.
Overall you gonna lost about 10% of damage. So if you were doing backstab of about 6-8k dmg, you will now do 5.4-7.2k dmg. Not that big of a deal, this will make fight a bit longer, but the other player will also do less damage. The worst will be against condition damage build, that won’t be affected by this.
The thing is nowadays u find more ppl using condi based build in wvw necro, engie, mesmer even warior and thieves. And in the next patch guards get more advantages in burn damage so maybe some guards change to a condi based plus knowing thieves will be more vulnerable to condi bc they nerf 10% power based and thieves new trait (50% less damage in stealth still vulnerable to condis)…so I think in the next patches we will see almost all ppl r condi based which is sad.
Ps: powet based thieves damage is great but also squishy and need more skill capped to be a good squishy thieves so I think anet should also consider the skill capped rather than just ‘dreaming all build could be as good as others’
I dont understand at all why they nerf 10% damage…plus the new trait steal health on crits? Do they pushed thieves to play like a warior? With that trait and healing signet on thief just hit black powder and auto-attack + spam heart seeker? And see who’ stronger?….at the first place ppl choose to play thief bc they want the assasin kinda playstyle and a fast fight not a sustained one? The way I see in the next patch is anet pushed thievea to play either condi based (which i think is’ nt very assasin playstyle and more kiting and sustained fight) or power based warior style….I think rather than change the traits anet should just add new jobs or races or animation! So in that way more ppl will interesting to play gw2 and the retired gw2 player will get interesting again and starting to play again…not just change skills and traits after all these time we spent to get use to it
