DemonCrypto.6792 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 i don't know how it's gonna play but there is a scourge taste to it . I'm liking it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallist.5917 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 That was such a nothing reveal. Condie and Barrier? Thats all you can tell us? 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayberz.5346 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Interesting. With giving theif barrier it might allow this build to be kind of a tanky bruiser mage relying more so on barriers and blinds to mitigate incoming damage rather than evasion and stealth 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draxynnic.3719 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Animations are a bit strange. Most of what we're shown is in melee range, but there are signs there might be projectiles in there that we're not seeing very well because it IS point-blank. We'll find out when the full stream hits, I guess. More broadly... kinda feels like druid but with barrier instead of direct healing. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thought was: Steal F1 will target an ally (tether) and put you in a Shroud. Could work "better", if more enemies are close to you/the tethered ally (more barrier/boons/corrupts etc. Lets wait and see how it really will work.

Grand Marshal.4098 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 My one cent to this. No matter what they make I feel like this won't be enough to replace a scourge/chrono. If it's meant to fill out the 5th slot in the perfect party of (FB, Herald, Scrapper, Scourge) then I see very few of them making it into zergs. Unless if the shroud ally buff is unique dmg mitigator. At what point we may see a mandatory thief in each party. I highly doubt they will go wild with its support capabilities though. And I also wonder, if it's going to need trickery more than ever to function and if it's going to allow for shadow arts to be implemented in its gameplay, as the lack of stealth in the trailer does make me curious on whether shadow form replaces it or not. No more steal I suppose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the jumpy-jumpy vindis. I heard they got quite strong support capabilities in good hands. Cause Rev!

Felices Bladewing.3914 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 i kinda like a concept, but i don't like the violett glow tbh. put the classic thief colours on it please 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Interesting, we've had a good few Elite Specs this time around that really feel like some kind of Duel Profession. This one is clearly a Thief/Necromancer. Virtuoso is a Mesmer/Thief. Harbinger is a Necromancer/Engineer Willbender is a Guardian/Assassin (Gw1 profession for those who don't know) Bladesworn is a Warrior/Engineer The last two are not so clear to me.. Catalyst kinda feels like a Elementalist/Guardian.. Vindicator kinda feels like a Revenant/Ranger in some ways.. I dunno, am I the only one getting some pretty strong Duel profession vibes from at least some of these new specs? I'm not gonna put anything on the Engineers next spec but the next Ranger one I'd be willing to bet is probably going to feel like a Ranger/Warrior.

Obtena.7952 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Sounds like lots of immob/stun, non-projectile ranged attacks. 'Shroud' could be anything. I doubt it applies barriers because it looks like it is a constant application. I'm betting it drains initiative to reduce damage or give condi reduction or something like that. One thing ... it will be weird to shroud another player with no benefit to yourself. I hope Anet takes care of that somehow. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jijimuge.4675 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Looking at the animations on the targets, it seems that blindness (shown 0:17) and torment (shown 00:20 to 00:21) are among the conditions they can apply - perhaps not a surprise... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneQR.7412 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 My prediction: Initiative is replaced with the shroud energy and shroud is a toggle that replaces steal. Steal will target allies now and stealth now applies buffs instead of invisibility. Glyphs would be a fitting utility skill for the shroud. Or the same skill type that scourge got would also fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downstate.4697 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I like the theme. It looks like they may have a teleport. I thought I saw the elite skill pull enemies into the center of the circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
