Guild Wars 2

mybe its to late for this suggestion but i like to know you opinion about this.
Isn’t be cool if they add a fist wep for thief?
They can at least add an offhand fist wep that give you 4th and 5th ability and work with your light 3th ability

i suggest one thing
record a video and post it here and in bug report forum

Trikittenistos.3046:

a XII trait like:
if you stay still for 10 sec you gain stealth.
breaks on action or movement.

why you want this trait for?
if you thinking about camping in place and defend, there is a neat way to do it in game.
you can use shadow trap.

RustyNailz.2357:

That you can stay stealthed like other games…

no

haste and Vital shot is very effective. 10 -12 stack of bleeding in the duration of haste also your initiative come back in this time

Bazeleel.8219:

You are forced to play nothing but bursty bullcrap in tournament or some ranged BS that shares poisons.

It figures though every MMO always kittens the assassin class because people are to stupid to understand how they work.

Heartseeker build is a completel joke and lacks any skill and who the hell wants to play that? Yes spam one button, this is GW2 not WoW. I want to be able to actually play the game. Condition damage build are great but you are killed long before the bleeds do anything to your target, not to mention almost every class seems to be able to clear them without thinking.

The build I currently have gives me 23k HP, 1.5k armor, 2.3k attack(1.1k weapon damage), a ton of dodge and stealth, and over all great mobility and consent damage. Yet a 13k HP thief can come in and still kill me in 2 seconds. REALLY?! Not to mention a Warrior with 24k HP can kill me even faster.

Every other class has great survivablity, and skills that complement each other the thief really doesn’t. I feel that they tried to give this class way to much and not enough reasons to use them.

If i wanted to play a ranger I would, why do i have shortbow? Why is P/P completely useless and really is used for unload and thats it? Why does heartseeker miss 90% of the time? Why does LDB and HS root you in the ground? Why does half throwing skills never work and say obstructed when clearly they are in LOS?

All this stuff has really made me hate the class and the game and I want to like but why play a class when you can play other classes that do everything the thief can do but better and even do more damage and survive longer?

I do not want to play different class but the thief is not what it should be. That is all I have to say.

1. yes Heartseeker build is useless and no fun that’s why no one use it
2. bleed build need to have a good thinking and good timing. when you have good attack other class have to have the counter attack.
3. you ether using wrong build for thief class or its your lack of skill that all class pound you.
4. Yes most classes have a survivability of their own kind. Thief survivability’s is more player skill base not like guardians who just use shield.
5. weapons like short bow is like utility for some situations and its have completely deferent ability than ranger.p/p is usefull depending of your build.
the bottom line is instead of try to change the game you better change your play style.

btw the backstab only come up when you go to stealth
so remember whenever you are in stealth press 1 first then other abilitys. backstab is your mean nuke

i will give you some suggestions
1) when thief go to stealth start spam your 1 attack, he will still get damage if he was near you
2) dont let the thief go to your back. his backstap do more than 6k crit if he was at your back but only 2k crit at front of you
3) if you see a thief with sword and pistol use your stun break and dodge away as soon as he reach you or bash you. then charge to him and easy kill.
4) remember when a thief use his pistol wipe ability he have no dodge after that.
5) make a thief and play with it at least 4 pvp. playing whit a class make you understand more about the mechanic and his wickedness

elixir S : if you drop it you ether get stealth or become bigger
elixir U: if you drop it its have a chance to create a wall that stealth you

metaphorm.6904:

reserved post: Stealth mechanics section

6) Which other classes are capable of using Stealth, besides the Thief?

as far as i know engi also have 2 hide skills not sure about others

XII. Hidden Killer (100% crit chance in stealth) -
Now I know beta players were grateful for the boost from a flat 50% crit chance to 100% crit chance change, but let’s face it, you are only going to land ONE hit from stealth and with a crit build a vast majority of the time it’s a critical hit WITHOUT this feat. I know this would be highly debated as to whether or not this actually underpowered but if you can only land one hit from stealth and you’re probably already sitting on 50% crit chance you are much better off with Executioners consistent damage boost. One thing that could make this more appealing is a critical damage boost while in stealth so that the first attack you do which breaks stealth and reveals you hits harder than normal. A 25% critical damage boost on top of 100% crit chance while in stealth seems good and keep in mind it’s only going to work on a single attack.

are you kidding me? only one hit? only one time stealth?
you are one of those guys who only know to spam hearseaker aren’t you?
its the best thing for backstap build and dont need any change

use D/D insted you can cluock and dagger and backstap realy offen
btw CD and backstab can do more dps than spam heartseeker in pve

first i must say the nerf was reasonable.
Second if they really listen to whining lets start whine about the low ability choice for thief I mean look at ele or warriors!

its was the best nerf i think becouse:
1. backstab build its still very good
2. you can use heart seeker as a finisher
3. you can still use the heart seeker to reach your target
and most of all no noob can rage about thief kill them.

there was a build that every one forgot…
the bleeding build witch is very good build i suggest to try it
