well technically you dont want to be next to your target with main hand pistol. its also just a cool movie like visual to spin backward and shoot your target. i think the reason rev got their initial weapons was to reflect their stances (shiro = swords , malyx = mace , ventari = staff , dwarf= hammer). but ya, they should have probably got offhand mace too

I dont see why they cant just give base thief offhand sword already. They dont have to rebalance current elite specs since they all use 2H weapons. Were going to Cantha, let us resemble ninjas/assassins at least. They can reuse a lot of animations from other professions easily for these too. It would solve a bunch of issues that people have with a scepter elite and wouldn't change base thief's concept or unbalancing it. WEP ideas: sw/sw skill 3 = decapitate , same animation as axe war or willbender 4 dag / sw = shadow step to foe and dagger attack pistol / sw 3 = shadow step back or evade backward(spin backward, opposite of sword/dagg) with pistol shot causing some condition. sw 4 = parry/projectile destruction/ reflect / block (something along these lines) sw 5 = single whirl/spin attack.
