Well the thing is they completely destroyed sd as a spec and dp, which isn't even meta right now, also took some solid targeted nerfs. This is on a class where you queue for pvp, get in and first thing you see is "two thief? Switch or we lose" When I can get into a game and not hear that, thief will deserve nerfs Until then idgaf how much these forums cry, the class didn't need nerfs What are you talking about lol. The patch is going to have very little effect on thief's potency in the meta right now. It's just not going to be as easy to spam 3 on S/D core and kill people or nuke things with the AA chain on MH dagger. The current meta S/D is generally easymode. Long-term, it might have some adverse consequences when things change but as of now S/D is absolutely over-performing for how safe it is. D/P isn't very good because of FB, Scourge, and Holo just being outright overpowered.once again you are saying stuff that is way off base S/D you claim as being easymode is the spec being viable. When compared to the skill required & risk used on s/d thief vs Holosmith, Scourge, FB, Mirage, etc, etc, etc. The difficulty level is tilted FAR on the thief's side. Easy mode thief is 5>F1>1111. That's the real brain dead spec on thief. Please stop spreading misinformation. I and many others have proved you wrong repeatedly on just about every subject. Please knock it off and have a constructive discussion. Thanks

no it's fine as is

Open core mode only queue. We can all make educated guesses that certain professions won't be viable, but until we get in there and see we truly have no idea. Look at every expac where everyone says a certain class is trash only to have them OP as fuck. Granted we all know core pretty well, but we won't be 100% sure of what's completely viable/unviable. So I say open up core only queue & let's have a good time. As for the profession balance....I'm sorry but from HoT to PoF is all a broken spamfest mess. Engi has always been in a great place and I can't remember a time when it wasn't one of the top classes in the game. I can't condone buffs to anything related to the profession & would rather see nerfs across the board. I'd like Engi to lose all the passive auto proc win toys throughout the entire profession (all the other classes as well too btw). GW2 should honestly only have active defenses. Scourge/Mirage/Firebrand need to be gutted and then slightly buffed over the course of a few patches until viable. This is b/c our balance team haven't been able to balance with surgical precision. I didn't read the entire thread so someone can quote me and update if i missed something. Thx
