> This is why. Thief is one of the least noticeable players on the field for their own team, if they are doing their job correctly. A thief should only be visible to their team if they are helping win an outnumbered match and then should be immediately gone after that in search of other objectives to harass. The only other place a thief would be visible to their team is if they're dead.

>

> It is easy to blame a thief because when your team has wiped, if you are doing your job as thief you _have not died._ , so some scrubs will go: "Hm, I wonder why my entire team just wiped at mid to a dragonhunter and scourge. Surely it can't be because we all ran in one at a time and stood in aoe-bomb circles instead of splitting the map/pressing the weak nodes, it has to be because the one guy alive didn't come die with us because he was too busy doing what we were supposed to be doing!"

>

> Don't take it too personal. Just let the hate empower you. People are gonna hate rogue classes whether they are doing well(because stealth is obviously op) or poorly (because trash thieves are more handicapping to a team since they are easier to kill) so don't let it bother you too much.

1- I hope I have the right idea about thieves. The class never appealed to me, because, Im not that good (honestly) and my internet has never been good enough imo, to be able to be good.

 

2-The last part, lol... holy $hi*

I''ve had this happen way too many times. Im leaving like, 'alright, you can finish this easy', nope they screw it up.

I mean, one time is too many, but I digress.

 

How difficult is it to know how every class stops the stomp and avoid it? That is basic fu** k ing gameplay.

They don't need to know class rotations work, when to dodge, when to push burst and where to CC. Its simple aye eff

 

/rant over

carry on

You influence each other on what is played, this game has never had big competitive scene even during esl times it was the same people over and over. There's a trash game that i used to play that had a 1 million dollar prize but it also only had the same 15 people competing over and over again and then when they went to fight people over-seas the meta was completely different from their understanding

you are in way over your head

 

you compare me to duelists when i've never played for duels but for teamfights, my build is for team fights and the irony is i've *still* killed those people multiple times, you either don't want to acknowledge me either are delusional by thinking that you can compare me to a bunch of random people that are only good in a game where skill is opinion based when my efficiency in a proper team is much higher than theirs and what i can do is much rarer than what they can do

 

"gw2 person1: IM A GOOD PLAYER

gw2 person 2: NOPE YOU"RE NOT LOL EVERYBODY KNOWS

gw2 person 1: LOL I AM GOOD I REACHED BIG ELO ONCE

gw2 person 2: LOL ESL LOL BUILD LOL CLASS

gw2 person 1: LOL MY FRIENDS ARE ESL TEAM ALL PRO THEY SAID IM GOOD"

 

this is basically gw2 in a nutshell

a never ending yelling contest because the game mode itself limits players. Again, that's why i never stuck with gw2 and i'll never take this game serious. Let's imagine that the maximum human skill possile is a number of "100" then the max skill in gw2 is 40, it's easy to reach and more people can reach it than a game in which the max skill would be 80 or 90 or even 100, which is how other games are. I know you've never bothered getting serious with other mmorpgs but trust me they are nothing like gw2

 

some other games required 10x more apm than gw2 is even capable of requiring on top of considering way more thing for you to be mechanically good at the game and you could be rewarded for being able to do all these things but not in gw2 because of the nature of the game.

 

the difference between us is that i've actually been good at other games so i have more objective knowledge and judgement than you do while you're living in a bubble and are refusing to admit the truth

 

i don't dislike you cus im not a kid and i don't hate on ppl that flame me but i do dislike bs

 

you only select the facts that favor you and ignore the ones that don't, i'm not arguing about mirage's status in the past.I can find discord logs of me talking to ppl (not gw2 players) and telling them that "finally i get to play an op class for once in my life" but that was before the barrage of nerfs the class got and we live in today and it's been like that for quite awhile now. At the same time thief's power might've varied over the years but it's always been meta and that's because no one else could do what a thief could and even now revenant/guard can gank as good as thief but have lower mobility (and increased something else , in other areas)

 

thief isn't fun to play against, even mirage is more fun to play against. DE is cheesy bs (i don't think DE is good) and when normal thieves are successful their enemies don't feel like the game is fair due to how the class is designed

What mmos have you played before GW2

I started a loooong time ago.

 

Reality check--

**Stealth classes have always been complained about.**

 

Side note- While Mirages have some stealth, visual clutter might as well count as a 2ndary stealth.

I mean, if you can't spot them, they might as well be stealthed.

I literally linked most tournaments played in HoT, you ignored the fact there was 0

Thieves there yet saying ”thief always been meta” yet you see mesmer in all those games but no thieves.

 

These are facts.

 

Now, last reply to you because all you say is just a load of nonsense.

 

Mirage is busted and obnoxious to play against and so is DE. And i hope both gets nerfed to the ground

Treb sucks tho... Means ur team is fighting 4v5 if you are o Treb.. and any person smart enough will move out of an area with a big red circle that takes some 2-3 seconds to land...

For someone who claims to not take GW2 seriously at all or that there are other games that are way better and take way more skill, you do sure take a ton of time to write massive replies to comments. You clearly care way more than you let on.

But a lot aren't smart enough :) Plus, you can just stand in the treb shots without having to worry about melee or just stun someone so they get hit.

 

Skyhammer is even easier to dodge than treb. And decapping a point only takes 4 seconds.

Idk, another thing is that as a trebber you are not contributing anything whatsoever when it comes to actual point capture, and you can only be trebbing 1 node at a time.

On a lower lvl sure. Anyway g2 + no 1 is going to get hit by treb. Hammer is a completely different thing it's worth all 3 caps. That's way more powerful because it changes up the rotations.

Keep in mind that when you're playing you can't really pay attention well to what's happening everywhere at once since you're concentrating on your own play. Some don't realize that and then come to conclusions based off of little to no information. And then rage at the Thief.

Multiple people don't speed up capping.

 

Treb has it uses. It also is useless in certain situations and people using it in those situations is probably what causes all the rage around Treb.

Only time I dislike thieves is when they are actively not side capping when their team is team fighting.

 

If you can't even decap (not full cap) but disengage and decap no matter if mid is a win or lose, you are not doing your job. Your role is to +1 and overall be annoying. Trying to teamfight is more of a detriment unless there are already people low or downed for you to eat.

Why hello there bud. I am pleased I already have a reputation. As far as validity of my build goes it managed to get me to Plat 2 three times this season so I'd say it is a good enough build :) Also I havent made this thread because I would be upset about getting flamed by team mates. If you really know who I am you know exactly howbig of a douche I am and that alone could give you pretty good picture about how much I care about what my team says.. I made this thread because I have friends thieves who do care and try being rly helpful and that salt isn't encouraging not only for them but also for any other thief. I know ppl salt Thieves a lot I bet you kniw that as well. I made this for ppl to get a bit more considerable to Thieves. If anyone wants to salt me they are welcome to do so xD I can roast better than Pyro from TF 2 xD

LOL please explain what a "real" thief build is? Because all the "noob condi thieves" I know (including me) are all mid to high plat. Im guessing you are NOT plat or even gold.. If you were you would notice this... And im willing to guess if I found you in the mists.. Your badge would be hidden, which means youre probably silver.. But hey, those cookie cutter "meta" builds are great for thieves that want to stay in silver/low gold :) If you want a thief build that can actually do something (help the team/cap-decap/bunker/teamfight exc) and get you to plat...... stick to condi.

I got multiple people to Plat who dropped as low as low-silver the moment I stopped playing with them, it is definitely friends who can get you to Plat easily.

Thief has the best mobility and even though there are builds that come to close to traversing the map are not as good.The way the matchmaker works is that if your team has a thief the other team has a thief, and the one team that has a thief with build that doesn't have mobility is forced to have one person on fending off the thief and forcing by default one team to be always under +1 situations, which in turn causes people to get angry. This is also why people don't like having 2 thieves in one team, they have to be coordinated to don't step on each other's toes and that also puts a lot of pressure on the other 3 people for the lack of extra body in fights. Thief skill is not about mechanical skill , it does involve it but the most crucial skill is the ability to read the situation and make the correct decisions.

Meta is just a good concept of what a build should look like. Anyhow my reply to Jack comes from playing 1 game with him and 2 against him so im pretty sure i know what im talking about. Peace toxic person who got offended and likes condi thieves lol
