more of the same because the Truth continues to suffer...the root cause problems continues to be shoved under the rug thus new players experience will continue to suffer as well

as many of you see, as many of us said since the beginning including many of those who left, it wasn't never Mesmer Profession after all, it was always 'the elephant in the room' >Thief Profession.

there will absolutely be no hesitation for me; i will not be buying the expac especially because of that including many other repetitive continual unlearned unresolved factors

> Ever fought a boonbeast on a condi build that wasn't necro? Similar result. And that's assuming you actually hit the soulbeast with substantial conditions, which is something the necro completely failed to do to the thief in that fight.
>
> He'd have been better off on core necro as scourge gives too many AoE's that the thief can dodge through to get cleanses, and shroud also gives you much more effective health to work with than barrier does. He should have put doom and geomancy sigils on his weapons along with the traited AoE weakness and bleed on shroud entry along with one foot in the grave to break the daze, so he can use shroud as an instant cast pbAoE to punish the thief and load him up with condis between his evade frames as he ports in. Doing this alone would have landed 6 bleeds, which is more than the necro lands in that entire fight. He also should have run towards the thief when he ported back, and placed marks on his return points. This would have negated the cleanse the thief gets from porting back, loading more bleeds, and would have put much more pressure on him by forcing more cleanses. Necro is tanky but cannot sustain under pressure, while thief is evasive but, critically, also cannot sustain under pressure. The thief will lose if you force it to trade blows and don't attack into evades, so it's to your advantage to be aggressive but not spammy like this player was.

> > -once again, Bad Design is screaming all over Thief Profession design-
> How is evasive, non stealth thief bad design? What should the thief do instead, given he has no blocks, no stability, and his passive cleanses are tied to sword 2 return ports and dodges? What you're asking for is for thief to become a warrior, there's already a class that plays like you want thief to.

if to bring Necromancer Profession back to Guild Wars Necromancer Profession design, that would be great

Sobx 8 years is a very long time to look for solutions. Maybe what the community are asking.... is for a new vision to a better solution. Would you agree?

guys, if you are asking for Thief Profession nerfs, 8 years of being immune to 'nerfs'.....should be enough evidence that nothing will change for the better. In other word; without a complete redesign/rework on Thief Profession, they will continue to be as Toxic as it want to

1. Necromancer is a condition base Profession
2. Necromancer have the power to summon death to aid itself at will
In other word; Necromancer Profession is death incarnate and is to be feared by all professions and is to be the hardest Profession to die

i never blame players but the profession itself. Thief Profession Toxic Design is to be blamed because a non-condition base profession shouldn't never outperform a pure condition base profession...reaper or not...Necromancer Profession is its base core.
it is like putting a bicycle against a motorcycle and having it outperform the motorcycle speed.....that would be unheard in a competitive scenery but in the world of Guild Wars 2 '_competitive_' scenery, Everything is true=possible!!
**BAD DESIGN IS BAD DESIGN!!**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Necromancer Should Be The Strongest Condition Damage Dealer Profession In The Game Because That Is Their Root Core!!!!-
Nor Thief, Elementalist, Ranger, Warrior, Engineer Profession should ever be capable to resist their conditions
**Guardian/Monk being the only Profession who is capable of cleaning all of Necromancer Professions conditions and Mesmer being the only Profession having the power to stop Necromancer conditions from ever casting**
**Restore Condition**

the point is, siege damages has always been excessive....no matter if its by power or condition

Guild Wars 2 balance revolves in 3 cycles
1. Bunker, Power, Condition
can not blame the community especially when this is how the game balance itself instead of tackling each root cores to finally put an end to their Toxic cycles once after all
-what the reset balance did was married both Toxic cycles together resulting with more dangerous Toxicity-
(Condition+Bunker)
what is crawling up next to the dualtatility Toxic cycle is Power....resulting in triple Toxic Cycles married all together which will put end to Guild Wars 2
Trinity Toxic Cycles all working together at the same time(Condition+Bunker+Power) is the worst mistake to take place in Guild Wars 2 balance history that will only result in no point of return for Guild Wars 2

**Ranger Profession Pet**
Evolution
'A pet automatically evolves as it levels up, and its specific evolution depends on the kind of fighting it gains experience from. Average evolutions go from Unevolved to Elder, but pets usually evolve from the defensive Playful to Hearty or from the offensive Aggressive to Dire. The easiest way to get a pet of the desired evolution is to unlock all possible evolutions by death leveling the animal in the Zaishen Menagerie Grounds.'

Give Guild Wars 2 Ranger Pets the ability to evolve as its predecessor than we call it fair and square??
The current state of Stealth hurts the game.

This is what serious gaming competitive companies do when dealing with Toxic design.
1. deal with it at its core root
2. redesign it completely with a healthy root
once again I am overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude that more gaming studios companies are embracing healthy competitive design
**Bravo Hi-Rez Studios!!**
