Makes me so sad how bad thief is at the moment and that is just wvw. I don't want them to be broken and I hated dead eye but still... thief NEEDS changes or buffs

Tried to play my thief I really did. It was my main for a while. Since the change to swipe I have given up on dagger main hand. I feel like in wvw thief is in a terrible spot. Can't zerg and for "roaming" you don't have enough damage to even do half a warclaws hp bar to dismount them. And when you do dismount people you have no energy and probably used shadow step or steal just to stick to and take mount down. Plus you are down all your initiative. The only dagger thief builds I see are full glass back stab thieves. You cannot fight somebody as a daredevil or even core with dagger mainhand and win since you are at a serious serious disadvantage. And the amount of passives in the game warrior and ranger auto invuln namely, coupled with INSANE damage from aoe if you are near means the only way for a thief to "win" is to just one shot. If you fail this you lose. When was the last time you had a -fight- with a thief? Like a proper fight. Supposed to be assassin class that excell in duels but we are among the weakest hitting and squishiest classes... Gonna just go full dire renegade or warrior who's bulls charge crits for 9k, or move my gear to ranger and laugh at every thief I come across as 1/3rd of rapid fire kills them with sic me. Also can dagger thief even get scrapper or holo below 90% hp without dying? I haven't seen it.

Thanks for all the info guys. I'll give a fee different ones a try when I get home tonight; no work for 2 days :D so will be on guild wars heh. Still no Oce players here? Just shy? :/

Okay so just got home and tried using mudfish with it. The server on Mudfish is called "Guild wars 1 and 2". I couldnt log on! When I entered my password and details it wouldnt let me log on, and interestingly enough it wouldnt let me log in to the forums either. I am on the hunt now for a different VPN; if there is anybody who currently uses a VPN for guild wars 2, preferably from OCE, could you please let me know? :) Would be greatly appreciated!

Awesome will let you know how my experience goes. Still waiting go see which VPN Dante uses!

Also which VPN do you use? Mudfish? Exit lag?

Oh my GOD that is insane. Where are you playing from and what server? I guess I will go from like 250 down to 150 or so O_o one can dream! Will try it when I get home

I should also mention that pve is whatever; but when I go into wvw I might want to toggle on the VPN etc. How would the different server match ups affect my latency, if at all? Hmm.... All of you guys and girls have no idea how lucky you are to play on under 70ms for ANY game you choose XD... it's an oceanic gamers wet dream... Ah well. Back to VPN discussion ._.

Hello. I play from New Zealand, and my average ping is usually 240 to 270. I see a lot of VPN usage in games that I play; it seems to be a new fad currently. Particularly from OCE players in Pubg, and WoW. Can I use VPN for guild wars 2, 1)without being at risk of ban or punishment from a net, and 2) to effectively reduce my latency? VPN costs a few dollars a month which I wouldn't mind paying as long as it shaves off a chunk of ping. I play on Sea of Sorrows server. Any help or advice would be appreciated, particularly from fellow OCE players who have experimented with this. As stated above my 2 concerns are effectiveness of the VPN, and potentially being banned or something. Thanks in advance.
