Teamkiller.4315 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 In contrast to the other poll, what profession do you most like having as an ally? Assume it's played well by your teammate Edit: in spvp only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure The Heartless.3261 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A good thief is particularly impressive to me to have as an ally, when I'm playing war. Good allies are not class specific ofc but something about having a hitman drop in and cut down a fleeing target/interrupt an opponent trying to set up to burst me is thematically pleasing to me. That kind of interplay is what made thief my second class pickup. After that, its tied between Guard, specifically reaper necros, and Ele thematically. (Just being decent/aware transcends class preference though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant.7206 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Two really stand out to me: Guardian and Thief. A good thief can change the course of the game singlehandedly with the right team. But a good guardian can practically guarantee that an enemy thief can't do the same, be it through teamfight support, natural tankiness, or good damage output.

Curunen.8729 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Looking back I've always appreciated playing alongside a good thief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pah.4931 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Having a good thief can really swing a game if everyone else doing their job. They can't carry, imo, but they can kill you if they're bad (and most are bad -- including myself lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pah.4931 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 > @"Legatus.3608" said: > Lol wut people voting thief > > I never would have guessed, that's interesting I think it's because -- in my experience -- a bad thief (which happens a LOT) usually makes the game 4v5 and almost auto-lose. Or better said, when everyone else is mostly competent, the team with the better thief wins. Also, I am not basing my answer of the current fotm OP classes (cough.mesmer.cough) ... but just generally speaking over all the years of GW2 pvp I've played.
