how can a thief abandon pvp/wvw, where it is the most busted class that destroy the mode for years i can see thief quit pve, but pvp/wvw? a lot of people play thief only for pvp/wvw too even when underperforming as 5v5 organized meta comp for tournaments. it will always be good in ranked, top10 top25 will always have multiple thief mains.

it is funny when 1 out of every 3 player u see in open world is a rev

thief beat warrior all the time, because warrior can't catch thief at all, either its draw or you lose as warrior. since 2012 and if you using a slow hitting weapon, dp thief can blind spam you to death d/p thief used to beat hambow, even tho hambow was one of the most op build at the time, rather funny. the entire warrior kit loses to thief only tether beats thief.

no bro, damage doesnt matter, crucial targets are the squishy ones, not the tank point holder who pump out healing. kill number is what matter, not damage number

If you're a mesmer or thief I can imagine you'd think that. But if you're a renegade guardians are free food. Guardian actually has a fairly balanced mix of matchups, with some being easy and some being very hard. > > I'm assuming this is a troll post; the above is just an FYI for anyone else reading this. If it isn't a troll post...... yikes. Just try asking anyone in the top 100 what the strongest 1v1 class is. It'll be a looooong time before anyone says "guardian". theres no way burn guard is 50/50 with power war lol. power war isnt viable even 1v1 on point at this very moment

tbh i'd rather warrior get third weapon slot instead of new weapon, so perhaps warrior can finally use it's large pool of weapon selection instead of only using 2 out of 20

We can't turn back the clock and see what would have happened to a [pre- HoT meta]( ) after years of balancing. > It may very well have been the case that after years of Forum QQ, power dip may have put us in a similar spot we're in now. > > What we can say with certainty is that the Feb 2020 patch represents a drastic swing in tempo for pvp. This patch was directly responsible for slowing down fights, lowering dps, legnthening cooldowns, and removing tools players had at their disposal for countering tactics like this (e.g. hard nerfing many sources of might and quickness). > > Meanwhile I've been crying since before the patch hit > > "Stop! Think of the long term consequences!" I've seen this all happen before. Ah well, the forums got what they asked for. > 3 years of vanilla gw2, never had a single meta is close to this, or the meta HoT had on release.

People like classes they can see, and rev has no stealth, so- > > nah, thief is better. can't stand on point or keep point, rev can basically do both core thief is the best thief. daredevil in the other hand, no. and rev is just busted mechanically in so many ways, even in open world, rev can facetank basically anything over warrior and in both power/condi and both herald/renegade can facetank a ton, while warrior without spellbreaker is basically dead in open world. rev kit is so pact its insane. i didn't think so until i mained rev for 1 year now in all modes. now i truly believe they made so to sell exp.

it does 66 damage because they cant give warrior damaging utility, they want to lock warrior dps behind weapon picking or else what can they do with all those weapons other than cannibalizing each other, tho its already cannibalizing.. they are really dumbing down war utilities tho in result. the irony when having access to the most weapon type is actually useless because you can only wear 2 sets and also having the least viable weapon..

they can't add full block to mace because full counter exist and you will be able to full tank 3 or even 4 people with it.

> @"mes.4607" said: > They did not keep their promise regarding balance. There are some things so blatantly overturned that I don't know how they weren't nerfed already. Useless traits that were never reworked. HOW because they midway shifted all the fundings to EoD. feb patch with small patches was going to a good direction till november 2020

> @"Kuma.1503" said: > Did that really happen?

> @"FrownyClown.8402" said: > Sounds like someone is mad that they blew all their cd's and had nothing left to defend vs thief. Honestly, if you knew how to use terrain thief wouldnt be an issue. Try learning the game before complaining about something within your control i've literally finished every single season at plat 2 + on thief/rev. you sound like another one trick who have no idea how to press 1 and f1 together. > @"Bazsi.2734" said: > I agree, nerf teleports, buff stealth! exactly, without such high mobility, stealth can be easier dealt with.

> @"Ragnar.4257" said: > If a "gank" is both predictable and counterplayable, and doesn't rely on mechanics like teleporting or 1-shotting out of stealth....... in what sense is it a "gank" and not just...... a regular build? personally, i think as teleporting and 1 shotting out of stealth is lessened, overall brawler sustain will also be brought down which resulting in easier plusing. and mobility like greatsword rush (adding animation to mobility) can be replaced as gank tool, still ganking. making the engagement more interactive instead of just, you know. actually not predicatable, counterplayable, but more reactable and outplayable if you outskill.
