For PVE (and WvW Sometimes), I run mostly this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PawAgqVlNw2YgsLGJe2WrNVA-zRZYBRHsFqiYI1Llmig2Kg+SgeDB1OIhxe4SeA-e You can swap out Staff for Shortbow, and you can replace Daredevil with Deadly Arts (Mid - Top - Mid) if you want to, as well. You can also swap out "Unhindered Combatant" for "Bounding Dodger" if you want extra stealth and heals from your leeching venoms that you get from Shadow Arts. This build is good for fighting a large group of mobs by yourself, and for general PVE use. The healing you get from blinds is significant, so pop your Black Powder's from your pistol and your Smoke Screen's when you're in need of extra healing.

Sadly VPN isn't working. Sigh.. it's very weird since my S.O. can still play, yet I can't.

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing this lol.. thought there was something wrong with my client.

These are all great thoughts, I appreciate everyone's input! I think scepter could be an interesting addition to thief, as long as it's mid-ranged and not something far-reaching like Guardian scepter. If it's to do with close-ranged magic, or something that does local AoE, I think it'd fit with other thief playstyles, but just with more survivability and area denial, perhaps. As for Luxon cannons, I think we're all on a similar page here. However, I'd like to think that between Kurzick understanding of what is essentially Canthan-Druid magic, and Luxon Siege Turtles, Cantha would have the foundation required to develop some form of hand-held projectile, magic or not.

Yes, I'm thinking along similar lines! As we've seen with Order of Whisper's pistol, it's got a silencer on it, so perhaps it's possible.
