Are you a thief?

;)

I usually remain in party untill it's full, then leave or wait to be kicked.

But I do pretty understand the reasons behind this.

Hi,

today i happened to be killed during wvw, and had no log in my chat about what happened ( i know it was a thief with sword ).

However, when i checked i had everything else on chat related on npc, other enemy players, etc ( i only had the red message about not enough health ).

Also, but i could be wrong, i got finished in about half time that is normally needed ( i couldn't shadowstep from downed position because the finisher arrived before it ).

Any tips?

They are account bound and soulbound on use if i recall correctly.

You should have had a message when you have tried to equip them into a character bag slot.

Great idea!

Didn't have the time to play SPvP.

Any comments on the after patch druid class compared to the old one?

Has the DPS and survival been reduced enough or the class is still one of the best ( if not the best ) 1v1 class?

However, i do like the new Signet of stone ( 3sec every 40 sec instead of 6 every 80 sec ).

Same as the others ( but I am definitely a pleeb when it comes to outfits ).

I happened to see Elementalists and Engineers in spvp during the core game ( as druids now ).

Guess I don't have to explain what were ( let's hope that druid is finally nerfed to the ground ) the problem.

No dude.

My point is that i Got one item and somebody changed it without ask me anything.

The point is that nobody cares what they wanted to give.

They didn't test the item before the reelease.

They gave the item to players.

They didn't ask players if they were ok or not with the modify.

> We wanted the item different

The care i could give?

Indeed it was silly to release a new item witout checking it first, but even so some appreciated the old version more than the new.

But more than this, what i dislike mostly is that they managed to offer all players not a standard ( which would have been useful to 100% players ) version of the bag and then adding a vendor with a recipe for the new, but a "particular" one which could have been appreciated not by all the community ( and as confirm, the fact that the bag were used as an invisible one ).

Dude, check all videos on tube and relative comments ( when a gw2 youtuber tries to clickbait ).

It's not me or somebody else, but the world.

I don't agree, because they fixed it after.

So they first gave an item, then modified it.

> @"Controlla.7241" said:

> The Ritualist is a perfect mix between support and dps.

Ok, I don't want a Ritualist Elite now ( imho there's no way they will introduce another class ).

Stop with the hybrid stuff.

For everybody, except that when they are used to say "golds earned from blc" it's like a scam for the viewer, because it's not something you can sell.

I always love Clickbait BLC results

Because Unlock wardrobe matters!

Here I am!


What do you need in order to deal with runes:

* Invisible bags which can contain every kind of rare and uncommon rune/sigil which can be dropped by salvaging intems

* Put 1x every rune/sigil inside your invisible bag when you get it from salvage, and all the new runes/sigils wil go there without occupy your inventory space.

* Once you have a full stack you will have the runes/sigils in your main backpack. Check your invisible bags for the one you are looking for and remove 249 of em, then sell them.

Total space required for all runes/sigils = 100

There you go.

Ps: It's better to get moving, because it's this way since the release and there's no way it's going to change because of stuff like extra bag slots, golds to 32 slots bags, bank slots, storage slots, etc... the soon you start, the better! ( i have 32 slot bags x 10 but as you can see you don't need them at all. unlocking 7/8 total bags is enough )

"You need"

> I have been playing thief since day one and I have never thought it would actually come to this. I guess one thing I need help understanding if why is my class hated to the point of serious fixes down to auto attacks. Lot of the other nerfs I can understand I am referring to mainly the auto trigger traits. I have listed some the major changes to the thief and I want to understand why the community hates the thief to much and just try explain why thieves play way they do and such.

>

> Thieves are medium armor/low health and most thieves are normally power. Stealth, Evades, Shadow steps and Mobility are essential to thief. Most of my game play has been on double dagger thief. I understand the to lot players stealth is a huge issue because the thief dispersed and I can target him or do damage. Stealth does not mean thief can not be touch. Honestly a tip on that is your auto attacks will take you a long way. For example if I hit thief is stealth and my auto attack is chaining then well there is thief there no doubt. I don't enjoy the perma stealth thieves, it just means they don't feel sure if they can take you on! There are many tricks to dealing with stealth such as reveals I mean almost every class has a reveal now, use them effectively and thief won't stand chance. Awareness goes long way to know if thief is coming (you may ask how?) you can see shadow steps or blinding powders triggering of even the sounds. Thieves try strike first because honestly thieves require you be first to engage, they are meant to catch you off guard.

>

> Lot of the classes now days have stealth,invuls,block,blind and evades. Knowing when to use them is huge in fight vs a thief. It changes fights, on the biggest things to shut thief down is to suppress steal. Most stealth skill/combo fields last ~3sec, thief is on the clock to hit you and if he does hit you there is a reveal time allowing for counter play. Keep in mind lot of classes now have skills they can cast to give them self stealth. If you really think about it thieves are deference out side of stealth. There are evade builds for thieves because of this reason. Evades for days because doesn't take much for thief to go down. Evade builds I have to admit had gotten insane and glad they are getting a fix because no class should have counter damage while evading at a spam able rate thieves do. Honestly don't know what to say anymore but my class is getting seriously destroyed. My biggest problem with the patch is Auto attacks and may seem silly but those are the best skills on your skill bar in my opinion. It really bugged me to see guardian hitting me with 3k auto attacks and I am just hitting the guy for 500-1k and did ask armor was Berserk/Valkyrie. Guy was laughing at how low my damage was with gear specked for more damage then himself.

>

> The only buff can think of on thief was the cloak and dagger and none of the other buffs appeared which is disappointing but heartseeker by all means needs no buff. I honestly think thieves have gotten the short end of the stick and I need help understanding why, because since reveals and new expantion thieves have gotten lot tougher to play with the reveals and nerfs and the hard counters.

First of all, we have to compare the nerf a class received with all the other professions.

I.E. All passive stuff was given an incrased cd, which means that passive traits like

> Instant Reflexes: Increased the cooldown from 40 seconds to 90 seconds in PvP only.

> Pain Response: Increased the cooldown from 16 seconds to 40 seconds in PvP only.

> Hard to Catch: Increased the cooldown from 45 seconds to 90 seconds in PvP only.

has been nerfed for thief, as for other classes.

Talking about thief, it got 2 nerfs for DD ( Dagger damage and Pulmonary Impact ) and 2 for sword ( sword damage and Swindler equilibrium ).

We have to see now if because of a lower dmg on AA and the other trait ( depends the build ) the thieves will be out of meta or not.

Overall it seems a good patch!

However...

> Mirror Blade: Reduced damage by 14% in PvP and WvW.

14%

K.

Aa said before, the recipe could have add to a vendor. And there we could have had a choice between 5 bags.

I am sorry but you don't want to see the proper way to introduce items. It's not that players like to whine all the time, but that sometimes anet do deliberately stuff not in a fair and proper way.

Everybody would have been able to guess that, if the real goal were to give players a 32 slot bag, there could have been different options, like giving a standard bag or a choice between all bags.

If things had been made that way, how could have a player made a complaint?

Also remember that they gave an invia bag, and after that they decided to remove it.

They didn't even test the item before releasing it.

Thief is not for everybody, and needs a team to play with.

Obviously there are easier classes to carry with.

Oh, that's not true.

If four 32 slot bags exist and you give players 1 for free of their choice, there won't be any complaint.

It's you that convinced yourself about that.

Like now, the community could be split between the old and the new bag.

If there would have been 4 bags to chose betwee, there won't have been any complaints ( unless things like "I choose the wrong bag", but this is a "SUPPORT TEAM" issue, as you know ).

Nothing but Logic.

In before "people would have asked for a free mount instead" or stuff like this.

Don't worry the PoF maps are definitely brainless because of mounts and the fact that they are plain as hell ( also HP are soloable with any class ).

HoT needed a little bit of time in order to learn how to move through the maps, and to unlock masteries ( which are needed to play properly ). It's normal that in a rush it's a very hard impact...

... I was mad a Verdant brink at first, but after few weeks I understood that it was the best map they ever created, and because of that I was a little disappointed with PoF :(

Told ya that it would have been around 1000 gems ( i just forget that you can't buy 1000 gems but only 800 or 1200, so it was obvious that the price could have been 1200 )!

Now it's perfect.
