Thief Elite Spec Idea: Demon-Walker


Knighthonor.4061

Recommended Posts

Weapon of choice: Scepter
Skill Type: Glyph

Mechanics: Steal is replaced by Shadow Demon Form.
New Resource: Demonic Energy.

The concept and Theme:

Demon Walker are former Assassins, who have decided to make the ultimate sacrifice, and implanting the collected Souls of Hunted Demons by tapping into the dark arts using ancient symbol glyphs written over their body to access this dark forbidden ritual, trapping the Demon's Soul within the Demon Walker, granting them the gift of shape shifting into the very demons that they hunt. Demon Walker's metamorphous has been the greatest tool for these fearless assassins, to hide within the ranks of the dark demonic army of Abaddon's mysterious successor, and not be noticed until they strike the demon lords from behind.

*Demon-Walker has 3 Demon Forms to switch between in combat, based on one of the three demon lords of Abaddon's successor. Each has a different passive effect as well as its own 4 Demon skills.

Naraka Form -

Has a thick heavy scaly armored skin. Speed and Stealth are reduced in this form, but health pool and passive incoming damage reduction is increased. Passively generates Parry effect which negates an incoming close range attacks and deals damage back to the source

Bethrome Form -

Is a demon with a shadowy mist like form. A master of Stealth and lord of deception. Stealth and endurance are more effective, and reveal is less effective, but incoming damage is increased.

Akumis Form-

This demon seeps with soul manipulation, taking the soul of enemies to empower the living form of allies. Boon and Healing Power are more effective, but outgoing damage is reduced.


The Longer the Demon-Walker is in their forms, the stronger the passive effect becomes. Demon Form skills use Demonic Energy, which is gained outside the Demon Forms.

We can now safely predicted the oni mask is the thieves Icon. I can see the theme revolving around illusions or manipulation, taking inspiration from the “Shadows” from the show See or the “faceless ones” from Game of Thrones. 
 

A different mask to take on a different identity, hidden in plain sight. 

 

I like your idea for demonic energy and it’s completely doable since they already gave us Malice in PoF

Thief already has access to too much stealth and you want to give it more?

That literally is nothing other than disgusting.

Yeah but its done differently and with a trade off unlike the current stealth. Adds risk/reward playstyle to it.

I don't think that increased chip damage from enemies taking pot shots at the air around them qualifies as trade-off.

And your idea makes the already weak counterplay to stealth even worse.

How do you even want to make the literal invisibility of Stealth in GW2 even more over-powered?
