Artyport.2084 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) No.. its not the hardest thing to counter but its stisll the laziest setup I have ever seen in a class. Place down all your traps. dissapear use a pull to push someone into them.. takes atleast 2 stun breaks to get out 1 if you are lucky its lazy and dumb.. and its all over the place.. and its not fun to fight against.

Genesis.5169 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Rev Shiro + sword 3 way easier to do and it takes all your dodges and is unblockable. It's a literal One button 20k damage unblockable nuke that follows you and can teleport through walls.

Address the problem that is forcing DH to play like this instead. Remove the slow on trap and make it give superspeed for 2-3s when laid. Then they can justify removing Trapper Runes. DH's traps aren't inherently the issue. DH is known amongst most top players as the nub stomper. Similar to most high damage output specializations. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradoxoglanis.1904 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Just play flamethrower scrapper. The golden rule of gw2 pvp is: If there is a dumb build, there is an even dumber build that counters it, unless its necro. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agramon.4278 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 This is a good example for "why gw2 has not balance in PvP and WvW". The real problem is op classes can create massive attacks at the same time with ultimate defensive capabilities. Like guardians, they can attack you without any fear with their blocks and mediheals. Or rangers, warriors, engineers with tons of regen and take no damage skills. I dont think anet could fix this thing. They gone too far and they never been capable to do it since the core developers left. They are try to hire some developers for creating balance but it doesnt work either. Removing or nerfing some skills never gonna fix anything in GW2. 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure The Heartless.3261 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) I used to be a [DH delete pls] proponent but I've mellowed out on that. They're just spicier Deadeye. They win 1v1s but they don't have any good group presence so any focus in a team fight will delete them. Ranged pressure also deletes them. So, while you may see toxic ones in Arena, you probably won't find very many of them running that in conquest above mid gold, where they can suffer for their crimes. I do think it's annoying to fight, and I do still think Trapper Rune needs a rework, but it's more annoying than OP, and if they delete Trapper Runes DH will probably need additional mitigation. I -DONT- like how it's better than DE though. Feels like the same people who got upset that DE was pranking their guardians when DJ was unblockable are now just doing the same thing to thieves. That's just a personal bitter hangup though, they deserve a thief counter objectively.

Master Ketsu.4569 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) It has been said before and needs to be said again. There really isn't any inherent problem with DH. The problem is that the stealth mechanic, in the way it currently works, is bad for the game as it deeply encourages an unskillful playstyle. Pretty much every other game with stealth has some kind of soft counter to stealth, such as an audio cue, revealing when attacking instead of on dealing damage, or semi visibility when close enough. GW2 stealth only has a hard counter ( Revealed debuff ) or no counter at all, so you either have access to an ability that makes stealth 100% useless OR you are forced to random dodge and basically play a braindead game of semi luck which is neither fun playing as the stealth character or the character without stealth since you are both pretty much just guessing. What they should really do is add some form of soft counter, get rid of reveal on hit because it's bad and everyone who defends it should feel bad, then buff stealth skills to have slightly longer duration. Heck they could do something as simple as "Blocking or evading an attack from a stealthed target applies revealed to them for 1s" as a baseline mechanic and the game would immediately be better in terms of interactivity with stealth builds. The only nerf you could possibly justify to DH right now, would be deleting rune of the trapper until stealth is reworked to be less idiotic.

Doing this leaves you with 11k hp no superspeed and no stealth for what to pull 1 person in? And hope he doesnt have 1 stunbreaker if so he lives? I suggest playing the class a bit more. Its not hard to counter specially once you understand it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazsi.2734 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We got to this wounderful place where we are now by continously deleting things(sometimes literally, sometimes overnerfing). I mean it's quite bad already, but I'm sure if we keep deleting things it will become good at one point. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had that ages ago and it's to prevent immediate restealthing to spam stealth attacks from thief. You want to have thieves backstab-stealth-backstab for immediate death combos? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all you're saying its "1 button" while also im assuming talking about a combo that takes AT LEAST 4 buttons, also it does nowhere near "20k" damage unless your target is pure glass with vuln stacks and you have 25 might. The whole attack is not unblockable thats only IF you use phase traversal first, which is once again a multi button high energy cost combo not "1 button" and you don't need to dodge the entire attack because one dodge makes the total damage negligible. To top it off if literally any other target is nearby such as a minion the attack will split its damage and becomes very weak. You obviously just have a blind hatred for rev without understanding how it even works Edited January 7, 2022 by Kayberz.5346 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously just have a blind hatred for rev without understanding how it even works So all other stuff you do are buffs on your self that has no chance of failure. Yeah its one button did i hurt your feelings? Is it hard to press 3 buffs before your hit some one with sword 3 or something? Yeah its 20k My Valkyrie DH Guardian in heavy armor took 23k so i'd imagine some one with toughness would take 20k, with vul and might i would have died before i knew i was dead has happened to me before with protection up. On other classes explode before the animation is even done thru a god kitten wall. No i don't have blind hatred for Rev i've never once called for there nerf i do believe the class is the best class in the game and shiro sword 3 is a no skill burst attack move that is all in 1 button that has almost zero margin for error because it tracks is unblockable and goes through walls and it chases you all in one button therefore it is the easiest burst kill combo in the game all you have to do is buff your self which ALSO has no margin for error look at that almost like its easy. DH's atleast have to pull you in the trap which means landing the chain AND landing the pull AND setting the traps before hand WHICH can be force poped by REV FACET HEAL oh snap look at that dh traps have a margin of error on just setting the traps before even setting up the burst cycle vs rev buff up and press 3 to close target. I have blind hatred for no class i wish for this game to be balanced for all to enjoy it. Edited January 7, 2022 by Genesis.5169 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You claim it was one button while also admitting to it ACTUALLY being a combo of 4 buttons. And you are still falsely claiming the attack does 20k damage and "one shots" people which is again objectively false hyperbole Edited January 7, 2022 by Kayberz.5346 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
