Eh. Desert bl is my favorite map, including ebg. Running to check fire from air or air from fire takes too long if the jump pads are not working. But it is my favorite map.

Huh? What do you mean good access? 2 skills on high cooldowns and dependant on weapon swap cooldown. Shield #5 and GS #5. That's it for my CC and if fighting multiple people... good luck having for a stomp.

LoL Humor Me. Point out one thing I said that was incorrect.

This!!!

The perfect example of someone who pretends to play a thief, but in all actuality has absolutely no clue how the thief works. (1) Even if you are in combat, when you let the stealth timer die out on its own (you don't attack while you are stealthed... DUHHH!!!) you will not become revealed. You can stealth immediately. (2) I will not post how to do an attack and remain in stealth. The last thing we need is a bunch more people playing this highly OP, high reward, and very low risk profession. Like I said before. The best thieves know this mechanic. The fact that this guy does not know it means He Is Not One Of The Best Thieves, Let Alone A Good One. (3) This guy has absolutely zero understanding of whatever he reads. If I write Cow, he swears up and down I wrote horse. If I write sit, he swears up and down I wrote Stand. If I say "do not attack while in stealth (which I have done), this guy thinks I wrote "Attack from stealth". Like zero comprehension. I am about to go in the game and play my thief who will stealth no more than 6 seconds per minute. Far less than even rangers do. I hate how abusive the OP stealth is. I still play a thief. LoLoLoLoL Get a grip and learn to understand what you read.

This is the deadeye. No other thief build has "tells" to say they are there. My thief has under 14k hitpoints. Technically I gave away hitpoints, but if you can't catch or hit me, then the reality is I lost nothing.

On the thief forums there is a lot of thief players going on about how stealth is not OP. It is. I originally started GW2 1o years ago. Played thief from day 1. I did quit in 2015, but came back 2019. I, however, did not like the stealth mechanic because it was too god Mode. When I played glass, I built for mobility and very little stealth. When I discovered how fun conditions were, I again played for mobility and not stealth. When they changed the shadow arts tree is when I went to Mesmer, and Engineer. I have been playing thief again more than the other professions I have, I still refuse to abuse stealth, but I know very well how it works. Let me enlighten non thief players what the professional thief players do not want you to know because: (1) It takes away the concept of them being skilled. (2) They do not want to lose the OP'ness of the thief. Sooooo. Here It Is (1) Every 3.2 seconds I can hit you for 5k damage. I am only visible for a fraction of a second and almost nothing you can do about it. I say 3.2 seconds as a guestimate, But I can time my hit so I am visible for just a blip on your screen and you take a 5k hit The best thieves you fight do this. (2) Thieves can hit you AND be in stealth. No Reveal for any amount of time. It is actually part of the game mechanics. No exploit needed. It is a 1 time action though. Any additional attack will reveal the thief, but the original one... The thief stays in stealth. Not a Cloak and Dagger hit. Something much quicker and deadlier to use. They just do not want you to know about it. (3) Those stealth thieves trait so they actually can stay near 100% initiative. I can hit you you for 5k+, and repeat every few seconds, stay at near full to full initiative, and stay in stealth so much, that I am only a blip on the screen. How many people can take that much damage in such a short intervals? Right now I am on EBG running glass. Less than 14k hitpoints. If I get attacked by a group, I can and will easily escape. If I get into a 1v1 fight, 100% guarantee I will not die. I should win easy enough, but on that rare occasion it looks bad, I can just escape. Even Rangers will stealth more than I will. That is how OP I find it, that I will only use it rarely. So Do not let thief mains say how stealth is not OP. My point #2 alone negates that, but as a whole. Yeah. Thief with stealth is as OP as you can get. I wrote this because of all the thieves in the thief forum going on about skill and how stealth is not OP, and that people who complain about it are just whining. No no no. If you hate stealth, you have a very good reason to hate stealth.

Lol You are mad because I am saying the thief is OP and you want to think it is your skill Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Omg. This is hilarious. 😂 😃 😄 To think I'd even care. Lol.

Lol The "do a video " is as weak an argument you can make. Fun fact. Those who main godmode will always try to downplay it so they don't lose it. Sounds like you perhaps? I'm saying what everyone knows. Thieves + stealth abuse is OP as "F" . And as someone who has been playing a lot of thief lately, I am 100% willing to be honest about it. The glass damage I do just murders and as daredevil, having a 3rd dodge is crazy good. As Well: Thief is THE hacking class. Easiest to hide it.

Lol How many accounts do you own anyway? All good. Keep supporting yourself with your own accounts. Mesmer. Full trailblazer gear. It is an exceptionally underpowered thing to play in wvw. You can hit me with 32 stacks of confusion all day long. It won't kill me. The moment the blades hit I just stop using skills. Evade is just fine. I have never and will never lose a fight against a condi virtuoso. It is too easy to kill. Those who do lose to one, lose because they didn't even equip sigils of cleansing. That is you? Lol

Can you at least properly read what I wrote. I SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT ATTACKING FROM STEALTH. I didn't want to yell but now you may actually understand what I wrote. You have miss read more than once now, and I literally spelled each word for you. My mesmer on Full trailblazers. Got hit for 5k+ twice in a row. ( You play thief and want to keep stealth in God mode. I understand. People with medicore skills play the OP crap just to think they have skill). God mode isn't skill. It is pathetic. Steal is a,1200 range. It is instantaneous, therefore NO TELL to say it is coming my way... and PART of the problem is that thief is almost always guaranteed a first hit in every fight. How is that fair? Thieves are like the Mutant Wolverine. no talent needed. Wolverine talks tough but when you can't die, it isn't bravado. It is narcissism with a high false sense of superiority. And you know a class is OP when 7 people are trying to catch it but it gets away because of One Mechanic. (Ie) Stealth

Twice in one day I was able to solo cap two different towers in red bl while on my engineer. All I did was stand behind a wall, cross my fingers and chant "please don't see me, please don't see me, please don't see me". Like, when I was in one tower, I already knew the enemy was going counter clockwise, on the map, so I just stowed my mech away, and stood behind a wall in the direction I was sure they were not going to go. And twice it worked. The enemy left amd when the RI dropped, I moved from my spots and took the towers. So I'd prefer not to lose this. It is easy to kite a tower lord on an engineer throwing grenades, while running in circles.

Edited this part. Zero trust in anet. I forgot to add. From 2 different borderlands.

No they do not. First Thing to Remember. THIEF IS ALWAYS GETTING THAT FIRST HIT. (I put in caps so it isnt missed) . If you attack a thief first they just run away. The CONCEPT is to use aoe's to knock a thief out of stealth. Because if this was actually a viable solution then we (yes, everyone in wvw) would not be seeing thieves being chased by 3,4,5 etc. People and still getting away after they murder someone. Here is what I did in the past. "Steal" into "cloak and dagger", "dodge roll" through my opponent, he tries to defend but I am already behind him again. He fails. The dodge role negated his defensive attack. Doesn't matter as to much what he tries. As he moves for those few seconds, I move. Then another cloak and dagger and roll through. It is pretty simple. If they teleport. I shadowstep to them. But if you are good.... My thief is a mule now, but once in awhile I take him for a run. I play condition. It was a fairly well known streamer (on dps thief) that attacked me from out of nowhere., but My condition thief is specifically made to kill thieves. He lasted about 7 seconds. But what I can do on my thief to enemy thieves, I cannot come even close to do with any other wvw avatar I have. The Reailty Is: People can talk about how you defend against stealth exploiting thieves till they turn blue in the face, but we have all seen the reality of most players trying with futility to fight that high dps stealth thief.

Lololol The only thing you know about the "thief" class is how to spell it. I am literally writing this out for you, so no clue how you fail to understand. I am a thief. I hit someone for 5k damage, cloak and dagger. I am now stealthed. I wait till the STEALTH RUNS OUT. A fraction of a second after it expires I do another 5k damage cloak and dagger. There is absolutely no stealth debuff when you let the stealth expire before you attack again. With dodges and shadow step (+shadowstep back) a thief can kill someone this way and face next to nil in retaliation. A thief is like that xman "Wolverine". Almost no risk with a crazy high damage output. He isn't cool. Just someone who exploits his godmode.

When you get hit by a cloak and dagger (#5 dagger skill) that does 5400+damage threat after the thief de-stealths, just so he can go back into stealth again. De-stealth with a fraction of a second to stealth again. Dodge roll to avoid any retaliation, 5k cloak and dagger again. Rinse. Repeat. Game over. Easy peasy. Very miniscule risk for the highest gain.

All I care about is how this will affect my roaming. I run either glass cannon virt or condi virt. That change on the scepter I will wait and see. I enjoy the skill cooldown reduction for the scepter #2block to give my enemy a lot of torment with a shorter cooldown time to possibly save a life.

No. I've actually seen this more than once. I've no lag, fighting, then I cannot use a single skill. I am not dazed. Not stunned. Not knocked back. Not rooted. No skills on cooldown. Just literally standing there unable move or use a single skill while the enemy has free reign to continuously hit me. It is just like your skill bar and mouse froze but everything else in the game works perfectly.

Someone's buying underpants that are a few sizes too small. The first post read as follows" """"Why was pistol nerfed? It was in a somewhat decent state. SOTO did not change anything with its power level. So why was it nerfed? Are engineer weapons not supposed to ever be viable?"""" Yes. It was clearly written to compare conditions virt vs condition holo in pve. Somehow I missed seeing the perfectly written words "condi virt", "condi holo", and "pve". LoL

You are kidding right? The thief was a LONG way from the tower yet performed the #5 to #2 into stealth but somehow teleported back to where he could shadow port up. I admit, when I played thief I absolutely 💯 never used this skill in combat. It is too ridiculous in my opinion. But I do not recall it doing teleports like that where the thief is facing west but somehow teleports north at such a huge distance.

There are more than we think. Not less. It has to be profitable for the creators of the hacks to spend all that time and effort to make then update.

Wooooeeee, you make me laugh. This game, my best was 1vs6. Me vs 6. My second best was Me vs 5. Roaming is where it is at. I think the difference between us, is that though I thoroughly enjoy trolling people as part of the game in the end, it is no big deal what happens. You really seem to take offense at things that should make no difference in how you perceive yourself outside the game. No judgment here. Whatever makes you happy.

Lol You are seriously upset that someone called you out for deliberately making a false statement. I just had a good laugh. Considering F5 maasively nerfed. #2 Dagger nerfed, #3 Dagger Nerfed the defender rune special stat nerfed for Virtuoso even before relics came into being... Then the defender relic is utterly pathetic because anet doesn't want virtuoso's to benefit from healing when blocking while thieves, rangers, ele's, willbenders, have so many ways to escape combat or stop any virtuoso from escaping. Virtuoso is incredibly lacking in such a manner. Sooooo Like WOW were you ever wrong. I do not do pve beyond treasure mushrooms. For you To be so wrong about virtuoso tells me you are a pve hero and have no clue what actually goes on in wvw. I'd say nice try, but lol not even close.
