I'd like a viable playstyle that doesn't use Scepter for Specter, for starters

I am using S/P on my pure power-specter build and it is borderline AMAZI- heheheh No it uhh, it is not great.

Ambush Trap back. I know it was a gimmick not many players used, but it was a cool mechanic. The only real option to have summons/pets on Thief as Thieves Guild had way too long cooldown.

Give me off hand sword for kittens sake, I'm waiting since HoT

Gameplay wise I'd like something like outlaw rogue in WoW or Ninja in ff14

either warhorn or off-hand sword (predictable I know).

A hammer...noob saibot vibes

Greatsword - Sword Dancer

The 3rd skill does some type of acrobatic evade and cycles to the next stance, similar to Elementalist Attunements.

spec that give block+invul instead of stealth, and give skills that can do reveal for 6s

That's called Guardian/Mesmer.

I'd rather they keep on improving the existing elite specializations tbh. The more specializations there are in the game the more difficult it becomes for them to balance and improve them all.

There is, or was, a build that used the Payback trait on Deadeye to recharge Thieves' Guild (and other utility skills on the bar) to keep the allied thieves out indefinitely as long as you keep the killchain going. It does require being in an area where you can get a lot of sequential kills with deadeye, though.

I could definitely see space for an elite specialisation that leans into some form of shadowy or illusionary summon, though.

Ronin (rogue samurai) - greatsword, or an offhand sword

Super hacker - holding tablet as a focus off-hand.

 

They use mantras which prep using 'download ability'. The mantra effects change depending on which enemy they download from.

 

And the elite skill 'hack nasa' refreshes all mantras and unloads all their effects at once.
