Zero Day.2594 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 So chances are you know that PoF is out, and so I've returned.There was also this new forums that came out, which unfortunately didn't migrate some threads. So, I took the liberty of migrating it myself...And so,Ladies and gentlemen - and everyone else that can't be assumed (being 2017 and all),I bring to you,The one,And only,Nerf Wish ListThe Second Resurrection. A run down for the uninitiated...Basically, everyone that comes to the thief forum with a request to nerf the thief class, should post here, in the format that's described below. That includes those horizontal bars (so hopefully it's easier for me to reparse at a later date...)Originally by: Someone.1234 (If you're posting for someone else.)Posted date: January 04, 2014 02:41 (Optional)What: The Nerf Wish List (MUST have a what)Why: It keeps coming back from the dead. (Why or Suggestion is a MUST)Suggestion: Complete all the requests, so that it rests in peace. (Why or Suggestion is a MUST)Thread: https://imgur.com/pAiF9Rk (Optional, where you originally copied it from.)Sorry if any nerf requests have slipped by the parser, or if there's a bit of discrepancy - I tried.. There were a total of 303 nerf requests... possibly more. Maybe I will do something else that's fun - like a word cloud or something...And so, take it away!Nerf Wish List:https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/firstNerf Wish List: The First Resurrection:https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list-1/firsthttps://imgur.com/a/1W4R7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we even need this class to ruin the whole game for us? Lets just remove the whole class so that all the other ones won’t feel like the underdog.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3308766Originally by: SoLeciTO.3490Posted date: December 03, 2013 21:35What: ThiefWhy: I saw once a stealth thief capturing the 3 zones at same time in SPVP.Anet should not allow that.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3308810Originally by: Excalibur.9748Posted date: December 03, 2013 21:37What: StealthWhy: Stealth op!!111!!!1Just do it.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3308820Originally by: VIVorcha.7853Posted date: January 04, 2014 02:40What: Hide in ShadowsWhy: You get high healing, DOT removal, regeneration, and stealth. It dominates, and condition builds suffer the most. I’m thinking the healing should be lowered slightly (maybe equal to Shelter) and the condition removal should be limited to removing one DOT condition.Thread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/I-think-it-s-time-to-nerf-Hide-in-Shadows/first#post3308620Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3309027Originally by: Otaur.9268Posted date: January 04, 2014 02:41What: Condition Damage (Chocking gas and caltrops specifically) and StealthWhy: I spammed shortbow poison aoe, caltrops, etc to apply conditions on foes in area and noticed I can pretty much kill both players and monsters without becoming “revealed.” This is getting more and more popular in WvW and it is rather unfair… But this is enough, please make any damage the thieves do in stealth apply revealed.

Really? Too OP. I’ve caught too many people trying to run away. Stealth and shoot – you don’t even need to waste initiative. Thieves already have it too easy. Drop the range from 900 to 5, make them waste all their initiative if they immobilize a target, and give it a 99.99% of failure, that still drains initiative. That’s more fair.Oh, and if the skill fails, it immobilizes the thief instead, and adds five stacks of bleeding, poison, and torment.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3309818Originally by: Stooperdale.3560Posted date: December 04, 2013 01:54What: StealWhy: A thief steals my axe but I still have my axe as well.

I want to be able to land my stuns and that Thieves have NO way of recovering AT ALL! The fact that they actually can get away is just….so daft! Why do Thieves get to cure conditions at all? This should be nerfed into the ground! looks at 10 december notes…..ohhh shiiiiiiiiiiii we’re going to eat your kitten HAAHAHAHA^Sad story QQResurrected from:_ https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311177Originally by: Ghostwolf.9863Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:33Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311216Originally by: Ghostwolf.9863Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:33What: DaggerstormWhy: This skill has too much on it, projectile reflect makes them immune against rangers and engineer while totally annihilating them with reflect, and it shouldn’t give stability since thieves can stealth.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311216Originally by: Ghostwolf.9863Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:33What: Dancing DaggerWhy: This skill is a spammable on demand cripple, and can cripple 4 people, cripple should be removed from this skill.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311216Originally by: Ghostwolf.9863Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:33What: Thieves GuildWhy: I can’t find the thief when he uses thief guild and they deal high damage and cc.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311216Originally by: Ghostwolf.9863Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:33What: Basilisk VenomWhy: It’s op to use it with runes of lyssa, thieves shouldn’t remove conditions since they have stealth.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311216Originally by: Ghostwolf.9863Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:33What: Death BlossomWhy: Remove evade and bleeds from this skill, 3x 10s bleeds are op while evading.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311216Originally by: Ghostwolf.9863Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:33What: Cloak & DaggerWhy: This skill is spammable and gives stealth, remove stealth from this skill.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311216Originally by: Ghostwolf.9863Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:33What: Flanking StrikeWhy: Spammable evade and boonsteal, remove evade from this skill.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311216Originally by: Ghostwolf.9863Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:33What: Infiltrators ArrowWhy: This skill is 900 range, which is too much because thieves have stealth, a rewarding skill like this should have 500 range and 4 seconds cast time so it can be interrupted.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311216Originally by: Incurafy.6329Posted date: December 04, 2013 08:57What: ThiefWhy: It exists.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311270Originally by: Jory.9172Posted date: December 04, 2013 09:36What: Norn Elite Become the JaguarWhy: Thieves are too fast already with their hopping around, nobody ever heard of a jaguar thief.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311357Originally by: Arikyali.5804Posted date: December 04, 2013 11:51What: Stealth attack skillsWhy: Special skills just for the thieves, with each weapon having its own unique stealth attack? All these special skills should be removed, since there’s no easy way to counter them from the thief stealth.(the sad part is that I got the inspiration for this nerf from someone who wanted backstab to be half damage, instead of double damage)Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311716Originally by: Maesk.8753Posted date: December 04, 2013 12:26What: Pistol WhipWhy: You can still kill things with it.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3311814Originally by: Sir Vincent III.1286Posted date: December 04, 2013 18:24What: Initiatives — too muchWhy: Initiatives allows a Thief to spam skills while other professions has to wait for cool downs. Initiatives should be a maximum of 8 initiatives and 9 max when traited. Whenever the Thief use an initiative skill, they get stun for 2s which will effectively stop the spamming and help them to conserve initiatives for other skills.

No dodging or evading allowed if the thief or his allies are standing in the refuge.

It give thief profession too much access to death/instant kill instead of hard work. Also not forget: Boon stripping is very powerful so i adjust it to every 60 seconds.I will give my suggestion of change to those 2 most problematic traits in thief profession.Last- I felt the ones that do not require change was challenging and important to make thief more support to their allies.

They have too many evades and escapes. Why should a class be given weapon evades, utility evades and dodge rolls with vigor. When can your enemy even touch you?Secondly, they have to much regen. If a thief uses vamprism runes or shadows regeneration skill set, they either run away and heal or continue to heal every few seconds. Some thieves have low life cause they know they will regen it all every few seconds and cant be killed no matter what. I hardly see thiefs get killed inpvp anymore.Thirdly, the class has too much swiftness uptime and can daze every few seconds with pistol. It’s only class that can achieve such mobility and fly around the map dazing people.Anet needs to nerf this class before its to late.Thread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Thief-is-overpowered/firstResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/5125587Originally by: EremiteAngel.9765Posted date: June 06, 2015 01:58What: do not allow F2 + F1 comboWhy: this is supposed to be a QOL changenot a buffso we should not allow F2 + F1 combomeaning if for eg a fear bundle F2 is used, F1 should be locked to prevent the thief from activating at range then using F1 to steal and blink in for the fear to connect at close rangeor imagine activating whirling axe bundle + steal to blink in on a warrioror imagine doing a range daze on guards by activating F2 then using F1 to blink inno chance for guard to reliably counterwhen traited, steal already poison, dmg, daze, grant fury and moreit is too much to allow F2 and F1 to work togetherthis is too OPor if F1 is used while F2 is casting, it cancels F2true that it can already be done with instant blink skillsBUT those are on LONGER cooldowns and don’t give the insane things that a traited LOW COOLDOWN steal doesThread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/do-not-allow-F2-F1-comboThis is kind of like a pre-release request, thought I would document it to see if it occur post-release – surely it will.The other interesting thing is, he’s essentially saying not to buff steal in this case. The reason I find this interesting is that it could potentially signify evolution or a new species of QQ posts. Instead of asking for something to be nerfed, they could start progressively asking for something to not/never be buffed.

We roamed the map in groups of 2 with 1 guy holding home and literally 1sec comboed the enemiy team. Players were disconnecting because what we were doing was unstoppable, and simply overpowered.Sure at the moment you dont see thief picked up in every battle, but give it a month and people will start noticing how strongly buffed the class has become in comparison to others, over the last few patches.With these changes made, we have a more balanced meta with thiefs becoming a more challenging class to play, instead of the insta-win they are at the moment.Suggestion: The first thing that must be done if we wish to have a good game, is to cut all weapon evades from the thief class, as they currently have enough evades through dodge rolls and utilities, as well as vigor.The second step to making a more balanced thief, is to give each class that isn’t a thief a new ability. This ability will counter stealth for a few seconds. Lets say the thief is DP and spamming powder/heart seeker or DD with CnD. Well stealth lasts up to 5 – 10 sec, therefore we make a skill that reveals invisible units for 4 seconds on a 20 second cooldown. This skill will be called eye seeker and a hard counter to perm stealth builds. Every class but thief will have this as an optional utility.The last step to rid the game of this Overpowerd character and to balance the class, would be to scale attack speed according to enemy armour. The thief currently puts out to much damage to fast, with a quick attack speed and 100% crits with hidden killer. If an enemy has high armour, the thief will then be dealt a frost effect after hitting from stealth, this effect would reduce attack speed per strike. The effect will stack up to 4 times, reducing attack speed by 25% each stack.Thread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Thief-is-overpowered/page/2#post5129370Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/5129420Originally by: thunderfall.8095Posted date: June 08, 2015 17:59Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/5130795Originally by: thunderfall.8095Posted date: June 08, 2015 17:59What: BlindWhy: There’s so much of it you can’t even hit a thief.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/5130795Originally by: Ragnarox.9601Posted date: June 09, 2015 21:02What: StealWhy: in HoT guardians do not have any daze so its not right to steal something that guardians do not have.

Thief should only be a torso, flopping on the ground. This way other players can easily kill even an experienced thief!! IF the torsothief can, however, land some damage to attacking player, or even if he/she bleeds on the attacking player, thieves account should be automaticly permabanned. Oh, and the torsothief players PC should violently explode at that point.

This new 2 initiative gain that they gave us is way too powerful compared to the old 2 initiative gain and needs to be nerfed immediately.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3351106Originally by: Mountains.4096Posted date: December 11, 2013 04:49What: Being able to see while stealthed.Why: Stealth is invisibility, which means the thief’s retinas should not be able to absorb light whilst stealthed. Therefore, thieves should be presented with a blank screen while stealth is active. Mesmers use magic blindfolds and Rangers can, I don’t know, probably smell the landscape really well or something and thus should not be impacted by this change.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3351440Originally by: Jaradon.2756Posted date: December 13, 2013 12:30What: Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?Why: No one has ever been able to be as even go as far for thief as also been for even!Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3366586Originally by: Zero Day.2594Posted date: December 14, 2013 00:40What: condition P/D or P/P thieves with perplexity runes running caltrops and venomWhy: It is a really strong (but cheesy) build though, like the thief version of the blackwater mesmer build.https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Whats-up-with-thieves-nowadaysResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3369899Originally by: Archon.7516Posted date: December 14, 2013 04:18What: What – StealthWhy: Why – Because even though I can’t see the thief I can still damage/cc/down it, this makes me feel dishonorable so thieves shouldn’t stealthResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3370843Originally by: Archon.7516Posted date: December 14, 2013 04:21What: What – All the thievesWhy: Why – Because the devs play all the other classes.. it’s not fair that Thieves get balanced based on no playtesting by the dev team when I do.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3370854Originally by: tac.2167Posted date: December 14, 2013 13:15What: Nerf Death – When a thief dies he should explode doing massive AOE damage to his own teamWhy: Thief death is OP.

He’s totally right when he said it.). Our character creation screen should show a 8 slotted bag that we can then customize (pick out ribbons and colors…), and as we level-up/gear-up as bags we progress into a 10 slotted loot bag then into a 15 and so on. Or we start off as “Tiny Loot Bag” and progress into a “Small Loot Bag” and so on.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3372846Originally by: Jormin.2761Posted date: December 14, 2013 21:43What: Thief gatheringWhy: With signet of shadows, heartseeker, stealth, and all their teleports, they can clear a map of all gather nodes in about 20 min. This is way OP, it’s gotten to the point that no other class can hope to gather as quickly as them. This is making most (cheers to the very few non-permagather thieves out there) thieves very rich, while every other class gets to sit in Lion’s Arch with 0 gold wishing they had rolled these incredibly OP gatherers. Ever since ascended weapons came out all the mid-level nodes have become pricy making these OP gatherers even richer. A nerf is needed more now than ever before, or else you are going to have 90% of your playerbase leave because you could not fix a terribly designed and OP gathering class.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3373815Originally by: Arganthium.5638Posted date: December 15, 2013 01:10What: Skelk VenomWhy: it’s a venom, and venoms are OP because thief can use them.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3374502Originally by: Sir Vincent III.1286Posted date: December 17, 2013 00:49What: “placed” AoE (i.e. Caltrops, Choking gas)Why: Everything Thieves do must apply Revealed debuff, even if they fart in a crowded bus.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3383779Originally by: Viking Jorun.5413Posted date: December 17, 2013 04:27What: MovementWhy: Thieves move out of my hundred blades.

This thief outnumbered 8 guys just by useing this with the Shadow’s Embrace (condi removal in stealth). These thiefs do mass damage and you can t do anything about it. and if you get them low , they will imidiatly get in stealth regain half of their health and you can t do anything about it. Wvw is full of those thiefs and it makes it really umbalanced. I heard a guy saying yeah but if you have skill you can kill those thiefs. The only guys I seen killing those thiefs are other thiefs with the same build. Condi builds and berserker builds are useless against them. So what works? Thiefs with the same build. I hear countless people say that thief is just the best class for pvp/wvw. Where is the fun if you can t just do anything against them and get killed.I don t call these thiefs skilled , I just call it cheap.Thread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/balance/PvX-Nerf-Shadow-s-RejuvenationResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3524198Originally by: Yoh.8469Posted date: January 21, 2014 12:50What: Initiative regeneration under chillWhy: We know that Chill causes 66% movement and cooldown speed reduction, which is pretty powerful. However, Thieves don’t have cool downs on their weapons because of Initiative, so doesn’t this give their weapon skills immunity to that part of the condition?Suggestion: They should get some sort of penalty instead, like a reduction on Initiative gain.Thread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/balance/PvX-Chill-vs-InitiativeResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3526259Originally by: Hitman.5829Posted date: January 21, 2014 12:50What: Shadow EmbraceWhy: The thief can remove 2 conditions each time he goes in stealth, if and only if at least 10 points are spend in shadow arts. This means that a thief can remove 2 conditions every 3-4 seconds since they are constantly in stealth. Thieves have access to: (A.) Infiltrator strike on the sword #2 skill, which allows the thief to remove any condition any time he wants. (B.) Hide in shadows (the healing skill) that removes burning poison and bleeding (and 2 more condition because they have shadow embrace treated.) (C.) Shadow step which removes 3 condition and 3 more condition removed when shadow return is activated. (D.) Shadow refuge which can remove up to 6 condition (because they can last in stealth for 15 seconds which means that one condition is removed upon entering stealth + 5 conditions removed in the 15 seconds of stealth). By just spending 10 points in survival, the thief can have access to an incredible survival build. Keep in mind the following: (A.) Shadow step will also break stunts TWICE. (B.) Infiltrator strike will return to original place confusing the attacker, if you are immobilized, just use infiltrators return so your attacker cannot get to you. (C.) Shadow refuge 15 seconds of WTF where Is the thief. (the condition removal skills recharging, him gaining initiative/health). Now the thief can use the remaining 60 points to make a powerful damage build.Suggestion: If the thief wants to have a survival build, then change the shadow embrace trait to grand master. That will force them to spend 30 points in survival.Thread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/balance/PvP-WvW-Thief-shadow-embrace-OPResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/3526259Originally by: Swimfan.8014Posted date: January 22, 2014 01:11What: What to nerf:Daggers and ShortbowsWhy: WhyThief are seen using these as weapons!

For starters, thieves are abusing the ultra-short range to detonate arrows at point blank, and that is unrealistic and unfun. The explosion should damage the thief too to prevent that, and since the projectile is slow, the thief has time to get out of the way so the change is balanced.Also thieves are spamming evades too much, so, whenever they use SB #3, they must suffer a 20% cumulative chance of the bow’s string snapping, and slashing their eyes, blinding them. Then, the string should fall to their feet, entangling them, and inflicting cripple for 10 seconds.Choking gas is going to be nerfed already so that’s OK. Finally, I see that you removed the infiltrator’s arrow, but thieves still keep teleporting neverthless, so they must be using a exploit.

When you’re getting stacks of might for nearly half a minute from a single dodge, then that’s stepping way out of bounds. 10 stacks of might computes to more than a 16% damage boost in direct damage alone which lasts a period of almost half a minute and doesn’t require a lot of conditions to fulfill outside of dodging frequently, which you should be doing anyways (and this damage buff is to a build that’s pretty good already). Combined with Fluid Strikes, this is an extremely large buff to your overall damage, especially just for being an adept trait, and as a result this single Adept trait contributes to a very easy-to-play thief play style which is becoming increasingly frequent in today’s meta.Thread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/balance/Thief-Nerf-Power-of-InertiaResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4175655Originally by: Spathis.7540Posted date: July 04, 2014 22:50Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4175734Originally by: Spathis.7540Posted date: July 04, 2014 22:50What: Ninja outfitWhy: Because it makes thieves look good!Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4175734Originally by: gartz.7013Posted date: July 21, 2014 17:35Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4224662Originally by: gartz.7013Posted date: July 21, 2014 17:35What: S/d thievesWhy: because its been the same since the start of the game and anything new a thief does is a threat to anyone and everyoneResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4224662Originally by: Quakeman.9378Posted date: July 23, 2014 00:34What: Scorpion WireWhy: I’m so sick of getting pulled off walls into an enemy zerg like omgResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4228931Originally by: AlCojester.4316Posted date: July 23, 2014 01:25What: MovementWhy: Thieves shouldn’t be allowed to move while in combat.

Since it’s the mainstream choice, it must be OP. Nevermind the fact that Thieves’ Guild and Dancing Dagger are both too long of a cooldown to be reliable in short fights – that’s no excuse to favor an OP skill. Basilisk Venom should have a 30% chance of backfiring and stunning the thief while being applied. Logically, how is a thief supposed to get the venom on their weapon in the middle of dodging, running, being OP while stealthing, etc. and not get some on their own skin?And while we’re at it, It should also add torment and confusion damage to the thief.

And what allow it? -> shadow refuge… I cant count the number of time I dueled Thief and they shadow refuge 5 to 10 times in a duel… And they finally get a lucky strike and win the duel… If the thief is playing badly he should be punished by not having a panic button ready to save his kitten every 45 sec.Suggestion: You would say it would be the end of thief right?

Rangers have been on the receiving end of unwarranted hate for so long, and the obvious culprit must be thieves, since thieves are dangerously OP. So thieves shouldn’t be able to counter the new buff to rapid fire, and should just accept balance and die a horrible, horrible, death. Because everyone hates thieves.^I feel like a hunted criminal in WvW nowadays since almost every roaming ranger pops rapid fire the very second they see me.I miss fighting the graceful sword/x rangers in WvW.

Currently 3 seconds in game ticks is nothing and you can easily dodge and cloak and dagger you opponent as if no time has passed.By making it 6 seconds, we wont make invisibility unreliable but rather a more tactical skill than a spammable one.Suggestion: Increase reveal uptime to 6 seconds.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4617915Originally by: Peow peow.2189Posted date: December 11, 2014 02:28What: BackstabWhy: Currently in world vs world, a thief on food with might stacks can easily crit up to 14- 16k on a target with high toughness. By reducing this by 25% we drop it into the 10- 12k range.Quite a reasonable nerf that still allows the class to quickly burst down most light armoured enemies.Suggestion: Nerf backstab damage by 25%Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4617915Originally by: Peow peow.2189Posted date: December 11, 2014 02:28What: Vigor and SwiftnessWhy: Thieves have access to what is easily the highest swiftness up time. You’d also be lucky to find a thief that isn’t running acro + trickery for 100% vigor up time.By reducing the vigor on heal to 4 seconds and bountiful thefts vigour to 6 seconds.This would mean you still have 50% vigor up time.Swiftness would also be reduced to that you only gain swiftness on every dodge roll when you have 30 in acro.Suggestion: Greatly decrease vigor and swiftness uptime.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4617915Originally by: Peow peow.2189Posted date: December 11, 2014 02:28What: Condition cleansing abilityWhy: Thieves easily have the highest and fastest condition cleansing speed.With Condition cleanse happening every time you heal as well as every time you become invisible – its hard for us to stack condis on you.Change this so that you only cleanse 1 condition on heal and 1 when entering invisibility.To counter these changes i propose these buffs.Suggestion: Reduce condition cleansing abilityThread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/SIck-of-thieves/firstResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4617915Originally by: Belarorn.9062Posted date: December 11, 2014 06:13Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4618201Originally by: Belarorn.9062Posted date: December 11, 2014 06:13What: StealthWhy: 1. Because it’s annoying that I can’t roll a thief and not play it the way i want. ie not with Stealth. Currently however Stealth is too OP for any other builds to really be viable and if you play a thief without Stealth goodluck getting anywhere with it. I mean maybe S/D SB builds but even they rely on SR and CnDBecause of fight reset. you can solo a thief and if he is dying or gets bored he can just pop SR or anyone of hundreds of other stealth combos, wait 3s in it and restart with full HP and All CD’s. Meanwhile Wwe are still in combat maybe with some condi’s still on us for the thief to comeback to and toy with at his pleasureSuggestion: Rduce # of ways to get into stealth. Currently there are 2 reveal skills, rnager has 1 and Engi has 1 both with longish CD’s 30ish seconds. On any thief build there are as many as I dunno 10 ways of getting into stealth a few of them spammable (yes im looking at you Blackpowder heartseeker). Therefore to balance stealth either we need more reveals or less ways to get into stealth. BTW Revelas are 6s long. I believe that stealth should be something that only becomes super OP when you have to trait heavily into it while sacrificing other things like dmg or surviveabilty. Currently you can trait like 4 deep and have stealth reset fights for you. I dont think this is fair.

It doesn’t last long enough.Suggestion: It should last longer so I can get 2 full Point Blank Shot, Rapid Fire, & Long Range Shot rotations in. It’s not fair when I’m on a roll and beaming Thieves from ranges in excess of 1,500+ to have to stop when they use their cowardly 1,200 range escape shadow step.Not only that but every class should have a mechanic similar to Revealed, but for different trait lines.For example:Warriors get “Weakling” on their shouts that makes all Deadly Arts traits into Liberal Arts, meaning all the traits are now random despite what you have selected.Mesmers get “Dumbfounded” which means all clones and phantasms can body block and Theives can no longer land critical hits.Elementalists get “Exhaustion” that means all Boons and Vitality is set to base and any endurance starts to drain instead of regenerate. Any dodges used creates a negative regen pool.Guardians get “Unfavored” which means Magic Find is set to base and 1 T-Shirt of Colin Johanson holding a Guardian icon is sent to your home or place of business.Necromancers get “Macabre” where all steal and conditions are set to base and any time you hit a Necro you get inflicted with 1s of Fear.We don’t know everything about Revenants yet so this is just speculation, but I think it should go something like:Revenants get “Mistified” which means Thieves can no longer slip in and out of phase, disabling any and all Shadow Stepping abilities.Resurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4816710Originally by: Invoker.5462Posted date: March 10, 2015 21:53What: Skill cap reduced/nerfed – Playing well should incur a handicap.Why: It’s readily apparent that a HUGE population of theives have no idea that they are contributing very little to the team, and in many cases actually think their far tactics or lord rushing (into death) are actually helping the team.On the flipside, when thieves are actually good. They are too good, and incite confusion among the general playerbase. “How can he dodge that many times?” “Is it really fair that he can bypass the down mechanic by going invisible?”Short answer is, yes its fair, but the profession, when played well is in need of a nerf. Lets step back for a second and look at a class with an even higher skill ceiling, the Mesmer.Now a mesmer, when played well, finds itself in weaker position than a well played theif, yet is harder to play to its full potential. Can you respect a mesmer who plays well? I know i sure can. On the other hand, a theif who play’s well almost seems to be abusing several rotations that allow it to be nearly unkillable. It feels cheesy to fight a well played theif, not like the mesmer who just tricked the hell outa me.So on both end of the spectrum, bad and good theives are toxic to this community, the profession should have never been added to the game, but since it’s here it really needs to be reworked.Thread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Thieves-are-toxic-to-this-community-pvpResurrected from: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list/4866229 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though that was more to sell the DD. But nonetheless, packed up the dodges in such a way that you have to own an expansion + have the elite spec active just to get back to what old Feline's Grace (RiP) was.

Jana.6831 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 It was mostly buffs, just CiS was nerfed - probably because of DE, but they didn't consider that power D/D is attached to it as well.https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-August-8-2017-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has created such interactive gameplay, such as getting literally one-shotted through 3300 armor and 25k health. I'm having fun just thinking about it!
