Not quite sure which videos you're referring to that show tank characters killing things more easily than the thief...keep in mind that this was a demo (so, monsters with theoretically launch HP levels and armor) rather than the class videos (which use monsters set up to die almost instantly for dramatic effect).
The thief dynamic looked more active and twitchy than any other class so far. It's a shame that the developer who demoed it wasn't as proficient with it as I'm sure people will be once GW2 launches. I'll be very interested to see what the players do with it once game is launched.
I think the videos have gotten removed. Anyone have any other links. I really want to see this, but apparently I was literally like seven hours too late.
Glad the hush-hush about the Thief is finally over with. Now I wish they'd just update the official website with some of those spell/ability videos I do love so much

Gotta say that IGN's article on the Thief was surprisingly in-depth and I loved how it told as about the other weapons. Read it and watch the gameplay footage of a Thief using:
Just still no Mesmer xD They're really keeping us hanging here.
I know they'll have a mesmer. They can't NOT have one.
Yes actually they CAN and most likely WILL. At least I hope so. Unless you pvp 24/7 mesmers are useless.
Maybe in GW (unless they go panic or RoJ), but all professions in GW2 will be designed to solo or group up in PvE & PvP. PvP has world vs world where players can fight in groups or go out on their own and still achieve things for their world (world = server). So in GW2 the redesigned mesmers will be awesome in both PvP & PvE, just like every other class. Its all a matter of taste in playstyle.

I really love how the presenter, who has seen the game many times, I will assume, gets distracted by what is happening. It is just that interesting and fun.

The Thief is looking extremely interesting. I wish we had videos of someone who actually knows how to play the class, but I'll take whatever info is given. Dual Pistols is enough to make me drool, but the addition of twitch style play and the hit and run tactics make me go ga-ga.

why you peeps keep waiting something thats already been there? would it be more fun to have something totally new and different than same o? cheez...
lol yeh, I wouldn't care what classes are the last two, the first four is already gonna take me some time to play
Well it's gonna have to be 2 classes from GW1, nothing new now because didn't they announce ages ago that there would only be 2 new classes (i.e. thief and guardian) and the rest would be carried across from GW1 (e.g. Mesmer + another)?

So the gametrailer videos and youtube stuff has been taken down?
Next week? That's so sad.
Nice. WoW! Just... wow. Great find. Thanks for the post.
OMG its awesome !!!! Thanks man....

Gotta say that IGN's article on the Thief was surprisingly in-depth and I loved how it told as about the other weapons. Read it and watch the gameplay footage of a Thief using:
- Daggers
- Sword
- Dual Pistols
- Short-bow (This looks perfect for support playstyle, or just to piss people off whilst you teleport out of danger)

speaking of ele...I saw air ele skills.
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
I'm disappointed that since somebody leaked this we're getting thief week, instead of asura or sylvari, next week.
I don't think we were getting an asure or sylvari week next week anyway.
This is so amazing. I am very pleased just now.

WTF? No subscription fee?

The thief looks great as well as the first look at the Norn area!
Aye, I actually enjoyed the Norn area more than the Thief videos.
hahahah I love how that guy laughs his ass off when the worm got killed so quickly
How much WoW could a WoWhater hate, if a WoWhater could hate WoW?
