narcis.5270 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 CAN WE STOP NERFING CLASES THAT DONT NEED TO BE NERFED OR ALLOCATING THE NERFS IN THE WRIGHT PLACE INSTEAD OF DOING IT LIKE BLIND PEOPLE? I AGREE THAT THIEF NEEDED A NERF BUT NOT THIS ONE ;ThiefInfiltrator's Arrow: Increased initiative cost from 6 to 8 in PvP and WvW.LIKE I GET THE PLASMA NERF BUT WAS INFILTRATOR'S ARROW THAT OP, IT HAS NO DMG, THIEF ONLY USE IT TO RUN AWAY FROM THE BROKEN CONDI CLASES THAT THIS NEW META HAS CREATED. AND NO NERF FOR RANGERS, A CLAS W RANGE CONDI/POWER DAMAGE AND 3K TOUGHNESS W 1000000000000000000 BLOCKING ABILITIES, STEALTH AND A DECENT SUSTAIN. A CLAS THAT EVEN A 3y/o COULD PLAY, IT FEELS BAD TO SEE SKILLED PLAYERS LEAVING THE GAME DUE TO THE NERFS THAT HIGH SKILL CLASSES GET, EG. MESMER, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PEOPLE THAT PLAY THEM KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING THEREFORE KILLING BRAINLESS TANK PLAYERS THAT THEN COMPLAIN AND MAKE ANET INCREASE THIS UNFOUNDED NERFS... JUST SAD IN MY OPINION. PLS NERF CONDI AND THE 3000000000000000000K TOUGHNES RANGER :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceValentine.9320 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 why nerf rangers? i don't get it. for a ranger to have 3k toughness, it has to go condi and rely on close and mid range attack which you can easily run away from as a thief.

Mikhael.2391 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 because spamming a teleport was just fine right? on the class with most mobility through other weapons / utilities and so many get out of jail free cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evenge.4067 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Wow embellish much? Also looks like your tears fell on your caps lock key and caused it to stick.Thieves being able to get away so much was ridiculous. Need fewer ganky thieves in the game anyway.

kash.9213 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The caps kind of hurt but I agree, it's a needless change. They could have even reduced the range on it some, or just left it alone and tuned something else. I used Death's Retreat for map travel mostly, Inf Strike was great for covering people with the blind and just being there for your team. As neglected as Shadow Savior was, it's pretty much dead now since Inf Strike with the blind was about the only reason to take that trait. Change the skill or put something else there, but they need to leave Initiative alone or hire devs who don't patch based on forum complaints who ignore traits and everything else. Everyone claims thieves have endless everything while at the same time claim they don't provide anything for the team except to decap in spvp so this change makes sense with these devs and this forum.

jpsssss.7530 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 One could argue that thief needs to be hit further. The fact that its the most mobile class, with the most stealth, no cooldowns on weapon skills, with one of the highest burst combos AAAAND deadeye can 1) have infinite initiative if they have half a brain 2) remove the one counterplay mechanic to stealth 3) get stealth on dodge. If you ask me you got off LUCKY. Thief is overloaded and if it did anything more than be a 1v1 machine in WvW it would be in blobs everywhere.

I'm guessing the community would be ok with thief lost almost all fights lol. Everyone always wants thief not to run away yet they dont want thief to get any buffs to give it a chance at sticking around the fight and winning.

Gotejjeken.1267 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I as a ranger would love to be able to disengage if I'm losing a fight. To get stealth as a ranger, have to land hunters shot (forcing you to use LB), use smokescale and have it out / wait for it to finish making the field / leap into it, or run porcine and play roulette. Also Ranger has essentially one block on GS, and sustain either means losing all damage or having basically two skills (dolyak and rampage as one / SoTP). But yes, please keep complaining about LB 2. At least in this case the devs saw ranger is in probably the best place it's going to be until the expansion so they left it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteepledHat.1345 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Ranger has higher pressure, 1500-1800 range (yeah it floats that far), more defensives (block, evade utils, stealth, perma vigor, perma swiftness), an AI pet, and wonderful heal utils. But we needed to lose two ini on SB5 because the PVP discord said so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
