Hi, I just came back after awhile.... been a player since day 1 of GW2... i've not played for awhile but after returning, I am not happy.
First of all, I would like to express my disappointment and disgust towards the balance team who just decides to ridiculously create these supposely "BALANCE" patches.
((OPENING THIS FORUM)) I see this in title " Thief - Deadly acrobatic masters of shadow and stealth." this is an absolute LIE.
Even last patch, thief wasnt even in great shape, yet class is only carriable by actual good players.
I kid you not in this, thief is suppose to be +1 / Mobile / High Damage
With high damage, I dont have mobility at all, the backstab damage maximum was about 5, and often Blocked, Blind, Dodge..
Today, I'm trying to chase an engi, guess what? Engi has an incredible amount of heals, sustain, and oh? UNLIMITED SUPER SPEED.
Now, trying to chase the elemtalist, I get 99 evasion and unlimited burns applied on me, and I have no zero cleanse.
I'm going for a guard, Too many blocks, damage dealt is like very little...
You get one burst from a Soulbeast...
rest is basically weak against condi...
It is absolutely ridiculous...
we all know what thieves like vs other classes... we could talk about it all day..
If ANET doesn't like this thief mechanic, why call it thief, why not remove thief in the game completely or revamp it, because this is just absolutely stupid.
If other classes can do what thief should be able to, why have thief in the game...
I propose to return TANK / DAMAGE / HEAL aspect and get rid of these absolute BS that is all in one...
how can a class do ALL things???
I don't get the Devs at all...
I invoke free speech and I should be able to express what I feel towards this game in this forum without receiving infraction because of simply trying to express myself.
If this post gets infracted and Devs just want to silence people expressing negativity, you're no better than the government.
