messiah.1908 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 what if stealth was used only as a defense mode. only when you in combat mode you can get stealth . so no offense approach when starting a fight. and maybe when you get stealth you shadow step away from your target - defense mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, do you really think they would invest so much money to pleasure players that have 0 awareness? just options. my real problem is how this game become so boring no uniqueness in class any more every one have most boons. everyone have same conditions bomb. everyone have cc most classes get more stealth abilities everyone put high dmg so choose thief,mesmer,necro,holo etc... you will do high dmg.... so why to choose thief or mesmer or whatever,,,,, necro should be the summoner and all boon corrupt mesmer is the illusion control and boon support ele is the healer or nuke element ranger is the trap and spirits thief is the stealthy bugger warrior is the sustain guard is the protector and bunker engi is the toolbet mastermind revenent is the condition and team power anet should stop trying to make each class do it all theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alatar.7364 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I used to believe that Stealth could get a bit of rework without any harm. But I learnt it is really not necessary. I am all up for more newbie friendly environment, but this Rework won't do it, it is simply way too much for something that is already incredibly predictable. Can't even remember what is the last time I got killed by Thief in Stealth, always can smell them miles away. On the Other hand that might be all the time and experience I got with playing Thief. Yet, Warriors GS skills, Scourge AoE spam and Ranger's Rapid Fire (or any damn LB skill) have killed more Players in Stealth than they did without it. Also, in this Age of AoE Reign, a "nerf" to Stealth is the very very very last thing _anyone_ needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean sure if you start the attack before the stealth it keeps going for the whole channel but are we really at a point of complaining at the pitiful damage it does compared to denying the use of 3 of the weapon skills on the GS? Whether it’s stealth camping mesmer, thief, scrapper, druid or some other future elite spec, he still has a point where entire weapon sets are shut down by stealth because you do not have a target and no scoping into thin air is just hilarious.

Quaggan haven't said you can't deal damage to stealthed people nor that RF doesn't work, but that person who has clues will simply side step and it will miss. Your entire belief I've any issues with Thieves is rather silly, just because I propose rework to stealth, which is mechanic many professions have access to (including Ranger via multiple sources)... but yeah, you can always improve.

If both of you would actualy read more than 1st post, you would know, that Quaggan actualy is asking about -buff- to stealth, rather than -nerf- while reworking it. As Quaggan believes, reworked stealth would need buffs [e.g. extra boons while you enter/leave stealth for Thief and his stealthed allies and better SA traits]. I don't understand how this proposal buffs stealth, I really don't. Where else would you buff stealth if you nerf the stealth part of it? Back on topic, I abhor stealth in GW2. I think its an incredibly bad implementation of stealth and is insanely overpowered in some contexts, while also hamstringing thief in other cases since you can't contest a point while stealthed (which is healthy . I'm not suggesting this be removed). I think that both stealth and revealed spam is off the charts in this game, and both need to be toned back significantly. I really think that only a few classes should have access to stealth at all, that being thief, mesmer to a lesser extent and _maybe 1 skill_ from an elite spec from another profession and that should be it. Remove stealth from combo finishers, instead give thief a baseline effect to change how leap and blast finishers work in smoke fields so they aren't affected (though I also think that the duration from combo finishers should be lowered by 0.5-1 second). Then look at toning down mesmer access and thief access to stealth (thief less so than mesmer, but they can currently stack too much imo). For mesmer, the first target would be PU. Taking it down to 33% increased duration would be a good starting point along with changing desperate decoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is truly more toxic, huh? You are correct but you miss one important thing; Rev was a complete diversion from what was happening in the back ground scene. Many including myself knew Anet true attention when the created Rev. Let me ask you a question; do you think Anet would be stupid to allow a new class to replace their two favorite classes? Absolutely not!! Mesmer and Thief are Anet Golden Child Classes. No classes will ever be allowed to supersede them, Not Now, Nor Ever!! -here is a tip: whenever you witness other classes (elementalist/weaver, warrior/spellbreaker) seem to be the hero of the classes: expect painful nerfs heading their way. As for The Rulers Of All Meta: Mesmer/Thief....expect a quick return of buffs in the next balance patch It's all a game; a diversion, an illusion The game is the true origin of Toxicity in the name of Favoritism Step#1- Next balance patch: Mesmer+Thief>Buffed, all other classes>Nerfs Step#2- Next class patch: Mesmer+Thief>slap on the wrist nerfs Repeat step 1 and 2 over and over again- -Never take Thief and Mesmer nefrs seriously at heart **WAKE UP!!** Mesmer and Thief Are The Meta Mesmer And Thief Are GW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of going all see-through, you would instead remove your nametag and associated titles. That blasted thing is the whole reason why you can't hide behind objects anyway.

Tell me why every mesmer using GS land more than 1 GS autos when I stealth and move to a less predictable location. There is absolutly zero weapon set completely shut down by something that doesnt provide defense unless specced into it. You are telling me that you mindlessly spam when some1 stealth in front of you? If thats the case, you outplay yourself alone. Stealth only provide a very short tactical repositioning window. Backstab is easy to avoid. Any defense or a random or timed dodge will do. even kiting can work if steal and shadow step are on CDs. Even if Shadow step isnt on CD, the thief will most likely not use it because its a condi cleanse and often the only stun breaker. It is possible to stack stealth but it require ressources like more initiative therefor almost zero,if not zero offensive capabilities if steal/backstab miss. You can use shadow refuge but its a slow stealth stacking abilities telling you where to spam auto (pretty much like black powder). You can use blinding powder inside black powder + heartseeker but its even more ressources. Thief will be ressource starved so if Steal or backstab miss, there is nothing to work with anymore for the thief. You can also cry about deadeye but we all know how terrible deadeye is. Its a predictable one trick poney. Deadeye is decent if he attack a target already out of CDs...pretty much like anything else anyways. Also, keep in mind if you spam autos, you will deal more damage to the stealthed target than the stealthed player does to you. Following the broken logic of OP and you, you can get shut down by some1 dealing abolutly nothing to you while you can still deal damage. If stealth is an issue for you, it can only be a l2p issue. May aswell cry about abilities with dodge frames or even shocking aura. Shocking aura is so dangerous for noobs right? It should be made useless just like what OP want stealth to be but he just look hypocritical about it and try to cover it with ''nerf it but give it some other utilities'' non sense. Being invisible is already the utility of the feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not allowed to do anything else if you didn't figure it out yet. Did Anet give them tools for it? Yeah, they did. But they also depraved thief of everything else that could potentially allow them to fill other role. For years, all thief could do is to decap/leech kills. In wvw zergs kick them because thieves are "waste of spot". In pve most groups don't want them because thieves bring nothing to the group. Golden child really? Golden child would be guards that were always viable and wanted in every single part of this game. Also, you should really to try to play mes. They had bugs/issues that never got addressed for years.

Most stealth attacks from thief are extremely predictable, just like mes ganks. It is not backstabs that kill you, it is AA actually. As far as map awareness goes, look at map. Anet added feature where you can see enemies on the map, if you see thief leaving mid fight for example toward your home point, you can bet your gold on it, that thief will be decapping your home soon. This is where, once again, you should try to play thief since part of your job would be tracking enemy thief - you will see how easy it actually is to predict their movement. If i wasn't too lazy i would link you videos from old tourneys, where thieves were completely shut down by the teams because they actually watched the map and communicated thief movement (while not having thief on their team).

Being invisible is already the utility of the feature. Firstly, no-one brought up deadeye so I don’t know why you are. Secondly you do realise SA allows thieves to stay in stealth indefinitely right? I mean even without the CD reduction on deception skills you can stay in stealth easily for 20s+ without being “resource starved”. Up to a minute last I checked if you really commit to being a stealth camper and I think bounding dodge thief likewise can sit in stealth for prolonged periods of 20s or over without sweating too much. Finally you will only be hit by 1 GS auto from a mes and only if they started it before you went into stealth. Please take your head out of wherever its stuffed, make a level 1 mesmer with a GS and ask a friend (if you have any) to stand nearby in stealth. You cannot hit them, you cannot target them, the ball is entirely in their court as to how the fight proceeds from that point. Them make a ranger, use longbow and see how many attacks you can land on them while they’re stealthed, next up would be sceptre ele. Bonus points if you bothered to test all the other weapons on a class before deleting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dev confirmed this that thief is Anet favorite class than posted that mesmer is Anet 2nd favorite class (Memser/Thief) are likely designed at the same time. Look up this interesting article in internet browser : Ten Ton Hammer | Guild Wars 2: Are Thieves And Mesmer's The Cause Of The Meta 'As an individual who plays both a Mesmer and a Thief, I’m well aware of each classes limitations. I’m also well aware of the sheer frustration at being hounded for an entire match by a class that has near permanent evasion, unparalleled mobility and almost free access to stealth. At times, it’s physically impossible to avoid the burst of a Thief because they’re relentless in their ability to pursue and deal damage to you. I’ve always believed that it’s inherently unfair that any class can stealth when there are no or few skills to physically break those using it, out of it. To then provide a class with stealth the ability to deal massive burst damage is a recipe for frustration and unsurprisingly, players sought to find a solution. I appreciate that the Mesmer is capable of stealthing and dealing enormous damage from it, but the key difference is that for the majority of the time, the Mesmer is fully visible. Its highest burst doesn’t come from stealth and its current stealths have lengthy cooldowns and short durations' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where? Also, than <> then. Also, Anet's. Not trying to bash on you but it is really hard to understand you and some things you post don't make any sense due to grammar errors or use of wrong words.

I identify myself as sneaky salad. At least in game :P On more serious note, i have yet to see one good argument why Anet should invest so many resources into changing stealth mechanic and adjusting all the stealth related spells/traits because of it.

Quaggan doesn't assume anything, Quaggan was talking with fishies and they told Quaggan. If you're looking for a good reason, then making stuff more fun, enjoyable and less frustrating for new or inexperienced players should be enough reason to rework it.

On addition to my post; Stealth, and Stealthed Players, never ever bothered me even when I was new to PvP and the game. So I have a reason to believe that this might be too much of a subjective matter to be sure it will help anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
