MatyrGustav.6210 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I know Dual Sword Assassin is basically expected at this point, but what if a magical Thief was implemented? What if it was given A Scepter and was called Shadowmancer with Shadow magic? Or even a Greatsword with teleporting strikes that would be called an Infiltrator? Or even a Mace, with confusion called a Burglar. So many options.We have a melee spec, a ranged spec, but not really a full magic spec. I dunno what are your thoughts?

Fueki.4753 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I certainly hope for an Assassin speak that replaces Stealth application with a defensive boon and off-hand sword.If Arenanet refuses to replace stealth, I hope Arenanet will not make it resemble GW1's Assassin and will not give it that name.

I hope if its Assassin that its moveset doesn't involve stealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GewRoo.4172 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Give it a torch. I want to rock Condi Thief and stack juicy Burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drascious.5714 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 One thing thief lacks is versatility especially in pve. Outside of boon thief and speciality roles in raid they don't bring anything truly unique to a party. A torch would give them the ability to burn their enemies but also to generate bonfires that could work like wells to give boons/healing other support effects. Offhand sword no matter how popular an idea would not really expand anything for the thief and still just leaves it as a melee power dps for the most part.

Thief really needs a support spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchme.1097 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I voted Greatsword because I know a few people would love to see thieves with big giant swords sneaking behind enemies and I hope to see a Parry & Riposte elite specialisation for thieves in the next expansion, it would be really interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
