in Thief
I am envious of Exordium's special animations,
every attack and skills were changed in all GS wielding Classes
i do not care if GS does not fit thief archetype
i just want to be flashy

Again, I'd rather we focus on fixing the stuff we have first.
Critical Kit, Deadeye.

there is nothing to fix,
we are the epitome of balance
only a few more nerfs here and there, and thief is done
Lmao they are never done when it comes to thief nerfs even after they halt all support for the game the devs will pop in periodically to throw some random nerfs on thief for good measure lol
No, thank you.

It fits, Bandit Executionar already exists, so making up lore to fit thief and stuff is easy peasy.
Theoretically something like this from ESO could work out very nicely for thieves: https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Two-Handed+Skills
The Ultimate is the Elite skill of GW2 and Onslaught would be an amazing skill for thieves to kill tanks with because it ignores their damage mitigation which in this game is called Toughness.
Of course all of this is up to Arenanet to balance by initiative costs and its only a quick concept I came up with. I couldn't be bothered designing traits but if anybody wants to bother feel free. We may as well use our imagination and creativity to dream because thieves reality is pretty boring at the moment.

yes, play ranger

I'll pass.
The only reason I'd really care about having a greatsword is to have access to Belinda's Greatsword skin
Come on, Anet... why not give the Thief a katana/ninjato skin? Even the kama skin you gave us is UPSIDE-DOWN!!!
Honestly, who is making these decisions??? They aren't difficult.
Yeah a simple katana styled skin for a sword will work nicely. This whole great sword ninja is a lol idea. I think too much watch bleach or some kitten.

No thank you. I’ve seen some advocate for s samurai style elite spec for thief but that seems totally unfitting. Samurai are warriors. Guardian is also a possibility with the tenets of bushido as the virtues. If the next elite specs include another weapon access, I think it should be a one hand weapon or even unarmed strikes. I think that would be cool and keeping with the thief archetype.

While I get your point I'd still rather see "Thief GS" threads spammed all day every day rather then wake up one time and find out Thief got Focus/Warhorn/Torch for next Elite.
i think that'd be lovely
I Have No friends, so I Must pug
Saw that one coming
lets face it
anet devs are lazy to give us another one handed or off hand weapon, because they have to balance and make multiple "Dual Skills"
they dont have that kind of dev time,
so we just need to accept another 2 handed weapon, so Greatsword all the wayyyyyyyyyyy
They invented a Firebrand last expansion, so saying something like this isn't fair. That being said... we're just not getting another expansion ever. The game is in decline, they don't want to invest a whole bunch of resources in it anymore.
last i checked the game was on the rise
I Have No friends, so I Must pug
Next exp is in water no Gs there :P
Is that an assumption or is it a fact? Or at least implied by the devs?
I know most of us thought this could be true because of the lore but I don't think it was ever confirmed.
no, the lore didn't imply anything either
I Have No friends, so I Must pug
It did quite a big deal because of the Deep Sea Dragon before certain LW episodes.
what does that sentenced even mean?

Okay he was trying to be non forward due to spoilers but i cant simply recieve any more notes that i was mentioned here cuz of someone arguing about bs.
Kralk fell to the ocean and we kiled him there if you remember correctly when you kill elder dragon its magic spreads out like and yes even tho Aurene eat almost all of it it as was mentioned before no dragon can absorb as much magic so part of it had to go somewhere. And since we are at ocean and water dragon is in ocean the magic outburst might awakened him like it did with Zaithan at very first episode. That is why I said it that is why he said it and that is why 50 ppl was disscussing it yesterday on Dragonfall map. I hope it was clear enough this time.
Why are you talking about a trash class? GS will only give you hype with no payout.
Thief's next weapon should be in line with the balance teams direction and vision of thief as a class. I think a pool noodle would be a fitting weapon choice.
Gs thief works, look at assassins creed
Hard pass on Exordium. I hate all the flashy stuff in the game. Wish the overall graphic design was the opposite. My thief wields two Aurete Dirks and wears a brown freaking Studded Armor with no gauntlets or pauldrons.
Switched recently from Claws of the Desert and a full Sneakthief outfit. The plainer the better, LOL. Bonus: people think you're a noob so you can surprise them. Assuming they don't have standardized models turned on.
This is a Thief of culture. Thief isnt supposed to flash at you like a freshly waxed Lamborghini you are supposed to see a Thief on 2 occasions when you are dying as he stabbed you through out of nowhere or when you are paying him for doing it to some of your enemies.
Torch fit a lot better thief than GS thought. How do you expect a thief to do it's thieveries while wielding a huge shunk of metal. Torch is a lot better, you can use it's light to create shadows in which you can hide, use it's fire smoke as smoke field or simply burn the house you just rob.
This works both ways, how do you expect Thief to do its Thieveries when its revealing itself by bright flame and shedding light to places where there otherwise would be darkness and shadows =D
you'd be surprised how hard it is to find something in a fire or with smoldering ashes in you eyes
I Have No friends, so I Must pug
"There is no shadow without light, the brighter the light the darker the shadow!"
But all in all, it's just like what derd said, blinding your foe which is already close to be a thief specialty and e-spec tend to expand on specialties. Honnestly as much as i can picture a sneaky profession with a torch, I just can't picture it with a greatsword. What are the options? Bandit?
Surely there are other means to be flashy.

Option is for the Espec not to focus on sneakiness just as DD didn't.
By saying I don't want Thief to have torch I meant that I don't want it, definitely didn't mean by it that its wrong that others want it. =D
What’s next? Give thief a warhorn? so he can announce to everyone how weak he is. Oh wait, they already know.
I vote yes to the GS.
why dont you want torch for thief
It is just my preference. Just as others want Torch, I want GS.
I got two reasons, one being that GS could finally be 1v1 or maybe even Teamfight weapon for Thief (not saying Torch couldn't, it is all about what dev comes up with, for me GS just sounds more like it).
Second being that the new Lege GS might be the most beautiful lege in game and as it happens it fits my Character theme/look absolutely perfectly.
But as I said, there is nothing wrong with wanting something else, this is just what I'd like. Anet originally advertised DD as Teamfighter and later as brawler, none of those came true so maybe it is time for simple 1v1 (since both Core and DE are not one as well).
PS: Yes I am one of those people who really want 1v1 thief.
I want 1v1 thief too but i would love to avoid FFXII happening to Thief right under my eyes if you catch my meaning xD
Well ye at least I think I do, but Thief with Gs doesn't necessarily (or at all) means it has to happen. Devs just need not to do it that way =D
Relying on Devs xD OOF! My goodness I am going to fetch my rabbit foot this will be hell of a ride xD
Fetch two...
I know this would never happen because they wont add new weapons but I would rather spear with a focus on poison and venoms. Oberyn Martell anyone? GS could be done I think but it would have to be really unique how they use it kind of like mesmer or revenant hammer. Chances are though our next spec will probably be some kind of weird support thing since DD is suppose to be our 'brawler/duelist' spec.
No longer playing the game due to PvP being abandon.
Nah y'all gon get a focus. So you can focus on the fact the community hates you just because.
Tingle my stingleberry
Just take a picture of your ranger with it, stow pet, and lie to yourself saying "this is my thief".
Soon™ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I kitten you not I actually did that on more than one occasion.
Never really worked for me anyway
Make a Ninja Elite specialisation that can allow you to use GS
Ninja Elite specialisation allows thieves to create illusions
im dreaming of my Dante, DMC, Double pistols and a greatsword
