As a nice compliment to today’s Lock & Key, I thought that Thieves might enjoy a roundup of some of the best post from the Guild Wars 2 Official forums. The official forums can be a great place to go for a new build, and interesting conversation, or just to see what the community thinks needs improving.
Kirin’s Guide for Aspiring PVE/Support Thieves!
A great analysis of playing a support thief that I couldn’t agree with more. It’s as if Kirin snatched most of his tips from my mind, and I think anyone wanting to play a thief form a support standpoint could do very well to follow this advice.
Please, fix Stealth!
A long thread of people voicing their concerns with the Stealth mechanic. There are a lot of problems people have with the mechanic brought up and many of these are then shot down. It’s a worthwhile read if you use stealth at all.
Thief – WvWvW
A good discussion of the Thief in WvW. Might go will with this weeks Lock and Key…
Bugs and Issues Compilation
More of a PSA than anything, but this thread of all the bugs and issues with any part of the Thief profession is not only an interesting read, but potentially a very useful tool. I’d encourage you to go here if you find anything seriously wrong while you play.
How do I stay Perma-stealthed as a Thief?
I’ve been moving more and more towards a Stealth build as of late, and I picked up a few tricks from this thread. SHort answer: You can’t, but you can stay stealthed a little longer than you might think…
I pretty much already knew everything in Kirin's article - and those aspects of thief in this game have made it a favorite for a player that could never get into 'rogue like' characters in other games.
Its good to have it in an article like that though, so I can point players to it who have been wondering about the class.
That really is an excellent write-up by Kirin, and I second your sentiment; I couldn't agree more with the points made there.
@ArcherAvatar Kirin's Article is definitely the jewel of the bunch!
