Trickery trait is it just me or?

[reddie.5861]

Yes i know we are pretty much forced into this.

 

But look at Steal for example it doesnt make sense..

Shadowstep to your foe and steal from them. <- steal what if u dont take trickery? shouldnt steal just be a boon rip passive without need of traits?

Same with Preparedness +3 ini passive and kleptomaniac +2 ini on steal these 2 things should just be made passive on thief without need of this trait line.

 

the whole thief thing is so lame nowadays if u wannabe deadeye ur allowed to choose from 1 trait same with daredevil and core is pretty much all trick shadow DD

Trickery should be completely revamped and the above should some how be added passive to a thief.

in my eyes that would push thief into a better position without a real big bad boost if it would be done without saying anything i doubt many people (who dont play thief) notice anything.

 

anyway i just dont really understand the trickery line cus most things feel like its suppose to be passive on a thief (or really needed).

You “steal” your F2.

 

But, I don’t think you’ll get much disagreement about the nature of Trickery being mandatory half the time (unless you build with alternative initiative generating traits/skills).

The problem is, whatever the devs balance around for a particular set becomes mandatory. If it wasn't trickery, it would be something else we'd be complaining about.
