As a former long time thief, I'd characterize thief as very low skill floor and one of the higher skill ceilings. Good luck playing as well as sindrener or yama. I think what is annoying is the crutch stealth is for low skill players. They can escape easily, just wait for numbers, or reset and try again.
People don't talk about it much but part of the issue is the constant detargeting. Some specs require a target for any substantial effect and so you really need to outplay the thief. Other things like tools holo doesn't care as much with more aoe and reveals.
In spvp, thieves can just +1, do almost nothing of value, and still escape to decap or threaten decap. That is the low skill floor in action.
Escaping is not a Thief exclusive. There are several classes & Specs which can do that on a same level. It looks like we get soon another Class with high mobility xD Overall thief is by nature (squishy) a harder class to play.
The detargeting is because u could easily channel the skills then and hit thief all the time when in invis.
For me the only thing Anet should really look at is bound thief. This is truly pretty broken and stupid because u can't interrupt it really. Dash D/P thief is okay.

Oh boy, thief mains are pretending that they play a way too complex and fair class again 😭
Everybody knows that stealth spam thief is just the safest and best roammer, and it's funny how these posts always triggers the thief mains lol.
Thief is just the safest and the best WvW roammer since ages, stop thinking that thieves are victims here. The thief bias is getting out of hands dude😭.
Gw 2 WvW isn't balanced around roaming, never was, never will be.

As I already stated, 2024, will be Guild Wars 2 breaking point to full collapse upon the release of new MMO's in the Gaming Market; who have Zero Tolerance to, Anti-Compettitveness Design and to Anti-Counterplay Gameplay.
Stealth Mechanic including Toxic Bad Design and Toxic Profession Design such as Willbender Profession,Thief Profession, Deadye Profession and Revenant Profession and such...are no match to Healthy Competitive Game Deisgn
In other word; Anet can chose to watch their game die a very quick death, or immediatly, start deleting Toxic Game Designs including Toxic Profession Deisigns such as Thief Profession, Willbender Profession, Deadeye, Revenant Profession
There are no shortcut, it is eiether 'do or die'
Looking at the direction of the Game Deisgn including what Anet allows, tolerates and continue to promote
Guild Wars 2 will die. So, just be ready for it when it happens when the population sinks.
Thief Profession and Stealth Mechanic are the Greatest threat to the game and because of it, Guild Wars 2 will end up being a forgotten game
I am not blaming Thief Profession players for being responsible for the game diminsihed but blame Anet for intionally allowing this Profession, to break all rules of Healthy Gaming Competition in the Gaming Industry
The Gaming Industry, has no Tolerance for Guild Wars 2 Toxic Thief Profession design including Stealth Mechanic. It will prove just that, starting next year and on
No amount of marketing can overtake word of mouth marketing
The word of mouth in the Gaming Industry - Guild Wars 2 Thief class is badly designed, it has been broken since the game release, it has no counter play, it has no fairness, it has unlimitted evades-blocks-blinds, it can teleport anywhere, it can one shot you in Stealth, it can easily one shot you, it can exploit and abuse the game at anytime, Anet tolerates it for being broken, it can use hack to go through objects like walls, it is not a healthy class to play against, it can abuse Stealth mechanic at anytime it wants, Anet don't care, that is why i quit this game, only this class gets free 'get out of the jail card' for years, stay away from the game, Anet lets Thief get away from everything without having any consequences, it's not a fun class to play against, Stealth Mechanic is Toxic etc....
This is just the summary of the word of mouth Anet that I have heard including other players, throughout the years, from players in Healthy Competitive Games that I play about Thief Profession and Anet.
So yeah!!
Anet is just throwing away money in the trash can to their Marketing with players word of mouth marketing easily wins hands down.
Doomsday Burnfall always writing a whole fantasy book. When i may ask why the heck are you then still here posting everyday some cheap posts when you dislike the game that much? Makes no sense

Oh god the thief Hater Train started once again.
12 hours ago, Jitters.9401 said: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.
What a cool story bro. Then show some Videos how OP you are with thief. Let's go.
ps: It is always the thiefs fault.

When sword/dagger was meta, it had only one stealth skill, dagger 5. And it was still too much for the average gw2 player. They want easy wins, and when they don't get it, they go to excuses. So, with the S/D murdered by anet, they come for stealth. Most of you dont even know what your skills do. With all due respect, practice
True alot of players are simply bad at the game.
20 minutes ago, Eddbopkins.2630 said:Two ideas that could balance out stealth I feel. Either one.
1. While in stealth damage is reduced by 50% or more
2.can not target enemy while in stealth. If people can not target you because your in stealth, it should also not allow you to target players.
Both these seem fair to me.
I mean that is a prove for your statement. 🤡

would have done that if it would shut you up, but we all know that won't happen, right? you will start QQing about the video material or the opponents or my gear or my build or the playstyle or whatnot... the thing is that i know what i'm talking about because i've done it already, with all my 3 hours playtime on thief i might not have "mastered it" and i get such easy kills and then safely just disengage because the class is so easy... and if i kitten up i just do it again...
So after 3 Hours of playtime you can say it is easy. 🤡 And ofc you know also everything about it. Lets go S/D then with 12k life maestro.

/ɪɡˌzadʒəˈreɪʃn,ɛɡˌzadʒəˈreɪʃn/
noun
a statement that represents something as better or worse than it really is.like saying that ele has "permanent projectile reflect" which has happened so many times around here i'm sick of seeing it...
So and we Thief mains are sick of peoples like you who think after 3 Hours they can say everything about the class and QQing because they think WvW is balanced around 1v1. So your a Ele player.....c'mon the class was flavour of the month and one of the biggest Cele Abusers in Roaming to date. So what now? A skilled Ele can literally kill me in 1 sec should i now also QQ and say it is a easy class? What the heck.
30 minutes ago, RazieL.5684 said:ok, lets switch the topic to zerg vs zerg... all classes are balanced and nobody cares what they kill because everything dies to aoe bombs at the end... ok so lets not... i'm done here...
You are done because you have not yet understand that WvW is not a 1vs1 mode? 🤡
PS: The thief has no use in zergs since Realese. How about that? Is that fair? 😄

Yeah, thief focuses on high single target damage and is boring to a lot of people including me, that's the whole point, people play very different things and many are not that concerned what is meta/op/broken/fotm... hell scourge is so busted in pve right now and you still don't see 90% of players but you still see this stupid argument being brought up... the "argument" was literally "so 90% of people play it", which is empirically wrong, as you yourself admitted, but somehow "their argument still stands" and the facts that i brought up are "weak argument"... that's some thief main logic right there...
the only thing that is cringe is you appearing everywhere where thief is brought up for what it is and acting like it's not - an easy to play, easy to learn, simplistic and forgiving class, that doesn't need to die ever unless you make huge mistakes, that has the best mobility in the game, permanent stealth, can have actual permanent projectile block (not "permanent" like the overexaggeration given around these forums, ACTUALLY permanent!), insane damage both melee and ranged, very high superspeed uptime etc etc etc etc... i know the truth hurts but it is what it is, it has always been like that, unfortunately it will never change... so stop playing dumb and acting like it's not like that!
ps. talking about out of place things... who the hell is talking about forming squads? does this thread really look like OP is talking about zerg vs zerg fights to you? c'mon move that thief brain a little bit at least...
What a bunch of QQ. Easiest class? Then go make one and show us on YT or Twitch how easy it is maestro. 🙂
You also don't seem to understand what exaggeration is.
Because what you may not find cool, others find great. Only narcissists on the road who see their own way of playing as the only right way?
Yeah WvW is balanced around Zergs Vs Zergs so maybe false mode for you and Spvp fits better.

Tell me what to do in this situation.
Just dodge?
preemptively blow all my defenses in the hope to catch his opener?
What was the right play there?
Because if you dont have a ping under 30 there wasnt enough time to stunbreak any of this. So the only option, would be to blow all my defenses just because i see a Soulbeast stealthing.... But what if he just waits and then opens 3 seconds later?
People are quitting left and right, because of this kitten. And your bias is not helping one bit.
Okei im old and my eyes are atm not that good but did autoattacks 4,5 k? xD

I like how those two Rangermains (you know who i am talking about) do mentalgymnastics trying to tell people that ranger is balanced....
It is literally using a skill that is not Damagesplit between PvE and PvP.... and its consistently hitting over 10k (highest i have hit is 17,4k)
Thats not how other professions work xD
They seriously have forgotton how hard it is to even get a 6k hit as any other profession
i mean.... LOOK AT IT!
You can NOT tell me that this is balanced XD
It is broken af.

Yama is a very very good thief and player overall. That he dominates there is because many players in GW 2 are not on his lvl of play.

My friend, Thief Profession is a threat everywhere. The best thing to do is to show PvP and WvW Community that their Toxicity including Stealth Mechanic is not needed anywhere.
Ah okay and that is why all modes has at least 90% thiefs and the zergs are full with them and every commander is crying for more thief players............also PvE! I was in Amnytas and i only saw thief players or precise i smelled them because they where all in perma stealth so i could not see them directly. 🥸

"Guild Wars 2 WvW ! Le voleur / thief ! Stealth and port is broken LMAO ! delete this class pls"
this video of Thief Profession player never gets old. Even the Thief Profession including other Thief Profession players, are calling out on Anet to delete this Bad Design Toxic Profession with Toxic Stealth Mechanic including Exploit Portal.
The amount of Disrespect and Disregard Anet has for the PvP and WvW Community is beyond words. Especially to those who continue trussing Anet with their wallet in hope of Anet fixing the game especially Stealth Mechanic...is beyond Outrage and Foolish.
"You Can't Stop A Person From Doing What They Want To Do. They'll Start Lying To You To Continue Continue Doing It"
Burnfall again........video is 11 months old......xD
So u wanna say that D/D is now also OP or what? XD
And imagine beeing in the SPvP forum and using a WvW Video as "prove" . Makes no sense.
