They have been the worst server to play against. If you don't play on EBG, they whine and throw a fit because they're bored. Meanwhile, we're having fun playing the other team on all the other BLs. > > All they want to do is spawn camp and hump SMC. EBG's spawn is terrible, but that's why there's 3 other maps to play on. Oh dear! I never thought staying around the spawning area to kill enemies is still a thing! I admit that the spawning points in Eternal Battlegrounds are terrible. Barely I have the journey in it. I often roam in the others. (P.S I like to encounter with enemy roamers and learn their builds, mechanics, abilities and skillplay most of the time)

If a ranger uses the second skill from the longbow, any reflection skills or interruption ones can stop his firing. Should a soulbeast be full of boons, those who can convert them to conditions or are capable of stealing boons will smile. Supposing that a deadeye loves to stay in the dark and waits for an opportunity to unleash a high damage on his target, one must strike him down fast(as long as one can still see him) and be aware of his fatal shots(for instance, Death Judgement). Assuming that one meets a condi thief, one needs to take him down as quickly as possible while watching out condition damage(Bleeding, Poison, Torment, Confusion). Stealth is one of the main sources for defenses of the Thief Profession (on condition that one gets used to its mechanics and can predict where a foe is, it will not be an issue). Talk about condi herald/condi revenant - he barely uses an effort to do anything on his foe(a lazy, cheesy build , to be precise.Too easy to play). Providing that one meets such a profession like these, one needs to avoid the crucial abilities that inflict condition damage and slay him with strong, quick combos(don't let him have a chance to heal himself at all!). Elementalist(whether a core one, tempest or weaver); of course, he is deadly when he can use his skills precisely and continuously. Without barriers and invulnerability, he is fragile with no doubts. To freeze him completely, one must land every skills on him accurately and constantly as long as he has no such defensive capacities. Provided that a mesmer creates clones along with phantasm ones, one is to catch the real creator of theirs and beware of his burst damage from the clones and the phantasm ones(whether it is power damage or condition damage). Talk about necromancer - if it is a reaper, one had better escape from the second skill of the shroud's mechanics perfectly or block it. Then, one needs to kite around for ensuring the fading of the shroud's life force from him. After that, one will have a chance to slay him(once his shroud is on cooldown: 10 seconds). Provided that it is a scourge(with death magic, blood magic and minions around as additional defenses), one must be calm and take out his health as swiftly as possible(no rushing on him if he still has barriers). Talk about guardian(whether it is a core one, dragonhunter or firebrand) - there is something common in all of them; their burning damage. To survive from it, one mustn't touch any of their essential capabilities(rushing toward a target while bringing blindness to him, spinning around to chain an enemy, placing an area of blue circle[which causes the burning damage]) If it is a dragonhunter, one needs to evade his shots and favorite traps as well as one can. Next, one is to ignore his shields if they are up on him(the blue shields around him; if it is the dome, don't use any ranged attacks - melee ones are effective on him). Once they are gone, one has an opportunity to cut him down. Talk about warrior - if it is a berserker, one must be prepared for the burst skill and escape from it by evasiveness, interruption or blocking. Should it be a spellbreaker, one mustn't be interrupted by his counterattack or one will be chained. Furthermore, one is to be careful from crowd control potentials( bull's charge, shield bash, Juggernaught mode with its own skills, the abilities from the hammer and daze from the mace). I hope these details will help you in a way or two to deal with such opponents like these. Good hunting ,sir! :)

Even if the Thief can do a lot of damage, the Thief doesn't have much toughness. It is not strange that the Thief is light. Too many ''Instasaved'' buttons with stealth, evasiveness and teleportation? With1 Healing skill slot, 3 Utility skill slots, 1 Elite skill slot and 5 weapon skil slots? I don't think so. One or a few wrong moves, the Thief will fall down.

It will also make the multiplier less consistent as it will apply depending on the enemy hp related to the ranger.

Druid having access to smokescale F2 (lunar impact, warhorn, sword, Greatsword can apply stealth from there) + Celestial Shadows + Runes of the trapper makes too many sources of stealth which can be constantly applied during the battle.

Axe a ranged weapon (900 range) does too much damage being able to hit for 4-5K with the autos. Splitblade can be a one shot skill if you hit with the 5 blades (2.5K each * 5 times ), Winters Bite can still deal more than a Maul with the additional range, no visual cue and the effects of weakness and freezing. The main culprit is the might from the auto attack which can build very fast with the bouncing attack. Remove might from the auto attack, that will bring the numbers down still allowing the ranger to build a burst with different skills/traits. Winters bite could benefit from an slower projectile and a more clear visual cue like a bigger projectile or an snow trail. **Honed axes should increase Expertise** ( 150 + 150 ) when equipped instead to empower the hybrid nature of the weapon. > > > * **Beastmastery traitline brings too much for the Soulbeast in any gamemode**.

Additional Stats and movement speed should be removed from the traitline and applied as baseline for all the pets. If the movement speed for the soulbeast is important can be applied as secondary effect in Essence of speed or as minor to the Soulbeast traitline. > > > > > > > > > > > > > how about we nerf the ranger and delete the thief class. > > He plays necro now so.....he'll ask for nerfs on anything that soft couter his new main....so if you're **a thief or ranger** get ready to be bombarded with nerf threads by @"anduriell.6280" . lol Oh dear.

ArenaNet would have to return every gold coins, every bit of money in the real life and every gems to those who play the Thief profession if they deleted it from the game. What a joke.

Want to cancel it? Use a tool, which causes the 'Revealed' debuff to them or use any skills that make them unable to enter stealth for a moment(Ranger, Revenant, Dragonhunter, Holosmith can counter the ones who use stealth well). Don't chase them if they desire to retreat to any friendly objectives of theirs. Want to lock them down? Use pulling skills, immobilizing skills, daze, knockdown, make them float into the air, make them stunned in one spot where they stand and use every main sources of damage you have to take them down. That's it. They will have no chances to run and fall down for real. You must time all of the skills on them accordingly and make sure they have no other utility skills and elite skills left to use against you. Good hunting, sir! > > not every class has access to revealed I know not all of the classes have the skills to reveal those who enter stealth. In World versus World mode, there is an item from siege weapon vendors makes one able to reveal those who are in stealth within a certain area(where a foe has been recently in stealth with Shadow Refuge, Smokescreen, Blackpowder or the fifth skill of the pistol in the off-hand of the Thief profession for combining with Heartseeker to access stealth).

Yes, spammable, boring and annoying at the same time. It is fun for one who places the traps, not for one's foe who encounters with them. One of the easiest mechanics I have ever seen. I understand the feelings well.

> @"Sylanna.1947" said: > yes, please remove stealth on demand from thieves, mesmers, and engis as well. Since you know, it's OP Hahahaha!!! You are so funny! Come now, there are ways to counterattack the ones who use stealth abilities, aren't there? How about taking them down as soon as possible when they're still visible before you?! How about learning their capacities(weapon skills, Utilities, Elite Skills) and enhancing your skills to overcome them? Are we still talking about the stealth ability from the Trapper Rune or some classes that grant one stealth? You seem confused, friend. lol

Last night, I met one Dragonhunter, planting the traps around. Then, he entered stealth after completing the process to let them work for him while he was charging toward his opponent with ease. Talk about the traps. I get used to all of them, very predictable.

> @"UNOwen.7132" said: > So basically make thief unplayable, and make 1v1s on nodes so entirely pointless that you can just start practicing synchronised dancing? You have spoken my language, mate.

Staying in the shadow for an extended time always costs some initatives or some certain ablilities. Want to take Deadeye down so badly? Land all of the burst damage you have on him while he is visible to your eyes as soon as possible.

Reduce non-targeted mobility of thief reducing decapability & escapability = Seriously? Infiltrator’s Arrow - Requires target. Range increased to 1200. Grants stealth on successful hit = Reminds me of the combination of Signet of Infiltration or Steal with Cloak and Dagger.

Disable the ability to use the warclaw in World versus World mode = Just like old times! Enable warclaw and pips in EotM = This might make it come to life again. Replace all the water with land in EBG and ABL = It would be nice since one barely or never fights anyone in the water. While in combat, you cannot escape from any fights to any friendly structures' entrances = It would be really cruel and encourage one to fight till the end of one's breath at the same time. Spawns now have closed off entrances/exits with portal doors to enter/leave = This is already in the game, isn't it? New Orb Buffs(Stacking) = 15% to all stats, +15 pips (one would reach the rewards from the chests more swiftly) and +300% magic find(more chances to earn rare items!) = That would be so pleasing. Holding all of the Orbs in the interim: When one deals fatal damage to an opponent, the opponent will be eliminated instead of being in the Downed state before completely dying = It would be amusing.

Let your friend play some other professions and she will know which one of them suits her the most in time. (P.S Talk about no dark themes. If I wanted to recommend a profession or two for those who were new to the game, I would say, Ranger:excels at firing arrows from afar and adept at fighting a foe in melee combat if necessary, Elementalist:adept at channelling the spells of the four elements; Fire[for both power damage and condition damage], Air[raw power damage, grants swiftness and some defenses], Water[for healing combos to survive dire situtations] and Earth[continuous, hard damage, grants toughness to withstand a foe's damage] and Warrior: straightforward, easy to play[but mastering it is otherwise], effective on melee combat for it is the warrior's main style.
