oatsnjuices.1698 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Uncatchable, un beatable, and unseeable. The deadeye is the only class where if you are good, there is virtually nothing that can beat you. 16 2 5 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holo might have good burst but it lacks the mobility to be king of WvW. Willbender probably has the same burst but insane mobility too. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oatsnjuices.1698 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I think stealth should have a reveal if the attack misses. I mean, someone is on you with a dagger, and it misses. Or a gunshot rings, and it misses, you still cant see them. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnfall.9573 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) How long will WvW Community accept Reality that, until Thief Profession and Stealth Mechanic are not deleted, Guild Wars 2 competitive scenary will never exist? Will another 12 more years be enough evidence needed to accept the Truth?? Edited February 4 by Burnfall.9573 5 1 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuks.8241 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Ultimate ganker. Even if you can kill it, it's a project and you probably need favourable terrain and him willing to commit. 2 or 3 good ones working together and it's a nightmare. But all that said, I have nothing against gankers and a ganker class. Part of the game, live with it. Or don't. 8 minutes ago, Burnfall.9573 said: How long will WvW Community accept Reality that, until Thief Profession and Stealth Mechanic are not deleted, Guild Wars 2 competitive scenary will never exist?

CafPow.1542 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Just don’t encounter them. Just… don’t. Do not give them content. you will never beat a thief, not because of stealth but because he is so mobile. He will just run away from you when you might win and maybe re-engage once his strongest heal (ooc heal) made him full again. this is just silly so… just don’t ^^ 7 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try not to encounter the DH/DE gank duos I find all over the southern portions of maps 😂. 7 hours ago, Cuks.8241 said: WvW is not the competitive mode. This is a good point, one us old roamers have a time with. Roaming has been stagnant and dead a long time unless you are on hyper mobile class--but stockholm pulls me into WvW on my roamer Druid from time to time. While I can still take out my fair share of people--it's noticing that needing to run speed relic and trapper runes to keep up with the power creep that really just makes me bored of WvW.

There are other ways, other maps, other players… and if nothing works, other gamemodes for a while ot take a break. i would rather go offline and watch a movie than going full reeee cause of a kitten thief-duo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotride.2187 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Every day I see those 50 deadeye zergs, and they just mow down everything in their path. This one spec utterly dominates every type of possible gameplay in wvw. Utterly. Honestly though, I see more rangers and engies and whatever celes than deadeyes. So if deadeye is the undisputed king of roaming, it must be really hard to play (hahaha)? 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepwalker.1398 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 It's so hard to play, you just have to press 2 2 2 2 to win. Even the balance team thinks no one plays DE in WvW that is why they only nerfed it in PvP Thief (January 30 Balance Update Preview) Deadeye has been growing in popularity in PvP over the last few months, and we've seen that it can be a bit too difficult to lock down for the damage it's capable of dealing. We're increasing the initiative cost of Death's Advance to require a larger resource investment for the survivability that it provides. Skirmisher's Shot: Reduced the power coefficient from 0.8 to 0.7 in PvP only. Death's Advance: Increased the initiative cost from 2 to 4 in PvP only. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgothCZ.6420 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 King of WvW my a...tail. DE is good in only a few things and still, it shares half of them with other thieves and the other half with any longbow ranger, DH or mortar kit engi. But yeah, it's fun to see fellow DEs in WvW, when most of them don't even know the kit and therefore I can snack on them easily... 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urud.4925 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Let me use my stealth and healing to go invisible, then I can proc my 100% crit chance... BANG! Obstructed. Meh, again a small rock. 7 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingDawn.5796 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) It's 2024 and people complain about Thieves, in terms of roaming at least, when there are other specs with builds, which can be 'unkillable' too. I remember the days, when there was culling too. Nevermind1v1, which the game mode, won't ever be balanced for.

Idk man. A good roamer in your third on EBG snacking up zerglings/keeping them bussy is really annoying when your squad is on the other side of the map.

It would make more sense to change stealth and stealth skills to be less frequent but more deliberate and decisive. Why make some janky change as a crutch for yourself because you can't cleave or cc that would just shift focus on another gimmick? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
