DeadlySynz.3471 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 @"Anput.4620" said:Delete necro or give all professions high damaging yellow pools of AoE to even the playing field!Or give necros copious amounts of access to stealth and mobility to even the playing field. Necro is basically a free kill. But hey, rock, paper, scissors right? There are counters to most classes and builds from 1 build to another (even that dreaded Soulbeast). But of course, players can't be bothered to learn how to counter, or simply expect the class and build they are playing can't compete with every other class or build.This doesn't exactly apply to stealth though, there is no real counter to it, because simply, a player can run away if things aren't going their way. Any type of reveal is a joke most of the time. Which basically leads us to.... what is the exact downside to using stealth? How do you punish a player exactly who uses stealth on any available build in the game? Now suppose if Anet implemented a "50% extra damage from all damage sources while in stealth" well now that is a counter and a downside to using it. Currently there is nothing, so stealth should in fact either be limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like none of those classes were supposed to have it in excess and that there's one built around it.Even as a thief I think it shouldn't be stackable, though. INI costs can come down as a consequence and it lets some traits/lines get reworked rather than always hinging on being either OP or useless.

Eternalight.4708 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 While i get the whole stealth hate, i also appreciate that we have such a mechanic. It adds so much diversity to the already adaptive gameplay one can have using and facing it. Over the years, from my observation. It's the same in most cases, deer in headlights once they know a stealther is there. It saddens me that those of us who choose to outright kill said stealther or die trying, i'm happy regardless of the result. Some people just don't like to change the way they play and adapt to the given situation. Now you can dice it six ways to sunday but the fact remains we have to adapt in some way or continue dying.Take this from someone who has a number of disabilities hindering ones gameplay. Thanks to a few people, likes of Henrik, Supcutie, Gaile Grey, my lovely wife Character Slot "who has more necros than a bull can turd out" and others who have helped me along the way in some way, shape or form, I've adapted, grown & come a long way in many ways in all game modes. When i started WvW couldn't kill a paper bag, now, i can solo roam/group play comfortably and confidently on multiple classes with multiple different builds....that i adapt with on the fly during play. Despite this, always room for improvement. Adapt, learn & then play the way you want. There are many ways to dice a cake & eat it. Risk it all whole or take your time & slice it into manageable slices. Chew your food peoples.PS: It helps to dodge, really, it does. :)~J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I typically see happening is that the stealthers attack and if the attack doesn't pay off as intended, they stealth and gtfo with no chance of catching up - unless you are also on one of those ultra-mobile classes.I am sure counterplay against that is possible, but it's not easy at all. You can try to stunlock or CC your opponent, but if you mess up once, it's typically over. No chance to catch up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emberheart.8426 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I truly dislike how stealth works in this game. It might be the most non interactive form of stealth I have ever seen. Usually stealth mechanics have limitations such as slower movement speed, being more visible when close to enemies in front of them, getting unstealthed when hit and having limited capability of restealthing in combat. GW2 stealth violates all of these potential downsides of stealth. However, thief was designed around this broken mechanic because other professions can have double the health for merely existing with no significant drawback. I also remember when guardian and ele used to have more boons because of this and ele had more damage. Good times. There has been a tendency of nerfing or giving away the mechanics that compensated for the low HP that these classes have. You have so many different professions running around with the same or better boons than an elementalist, while needing less defensive stats to sustain themselves. You have engineers and rangers having ample access to stealth, despite having medium HP pools and numerous advantages over thief, such as better burst and better sustain.How about we do something about these issues before we destroy these classes more? Yes, even guardian. If firebrand was not the only stability bot what exactly do you think would happen? Either give thief some real advantages or fix the HP disparity before looking at stealth. And no, mobility is not an advantage here. It was given away to higher HP tier classes. Though the other low HP tier classes didn't get much new mobility. Really makes you think.

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Not liking stealth or being annoyed by players using stealth is understandable. Problem is a class (thief) has been designed down to it's very core to rely on mobility and stealth as its means of survival. If stealth gets anymore nerfs as its already suffered many thief would have to get significant compensation elsewhere, especially if stealth in combat was removed. As much as a lot of u guys hate thief as a class and want it deleted it is a part of this game as much as any class is. U guys want a glassy class to have part of its survivability removed. Thief is already the fragile killer class that doesnt have the ttk that's fast enough to win most fights but cant sustain itself in longer fights and u want stealth nerfed more lmao c'mon. I myself thing a cloaking ability woulda been far better than true invisibility line the predators cloak. Its should a been long duration as well so players of thief could enjoy being sneaky against unaware players who arent paying attention to their surroundings and woulda got rid of the need for carpal tunnel inducing stealth stacking we have now constantly leaping through smoke fields for most of ur playtime which isn't fun. All while making stealth less broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necro is basically a free kill. But hey, rock, paper, scissors right? There are counters to most classes and builds from 1 build to another (even that dreaded Soulbeast). But of course, players can't be bothered to learn how to counter, or simply expect the class and build they are playing can't compete with every other class or build.This doesn't exactly apply to stealth though, there is no real counter to it, because simply, a player can run away if things aren't going their way. Any type of reveal is a joke most of the time. Which basically leads us to.... what is the exact downside to using stealth? How do you punish a player exactly who uses stealth on any available build in the game? Now suppose if Anet implemented a "50% extra damage from all damage sources while in stealth" well now that is a counter and a downside to using it. Currently there is nothing, so stealth should in fact either be limited.If necro is so bad then why is most of WvW necros? Sounds like their lack of these things is a tradeoff for being good in other things hmmmm...Try to 1v1 a holosmith as a deadeye without stealth to see what you give up to have access to so much stealth.

Zexanima.7851 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Sure, but you would have to heavily buff all professions that use it. What specific issues are you having with stealth professions (I'm assuming Deadeye if it's "perma")? For instance if you're a scourge built for WvW zerging and getting jumped by roaming deadeye when you're lagging behind your team then that's acceptable. They are built specifically to kill those kinds of players and you are not built to deal with that kind of situation. They wouldn't have such as easy time against something like Dragonhunter on the other hand who has reveal, good melee AoE and good ranged pressure. You make builds with trade offs which means not every scenario will be in your favor and most just don't build with fighting a stealth profession in mind.

Shiyo.3578 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Perma-stealth is one of the 50 reasons why roaming is zero fun and I don't do it.It'd be nice if they removed one of the reasons wvw roaming is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
