nopoet.2960 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Main hand warhorn. The next elite for thief should be full out support. We have all the other playstyles covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulbrew.7165 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I really want to have a real dual sword class in this game and thief is the best option because it will use both sword in the same skill Its kinda sad that we have two 2 handed weapons for especs.

Lord Krilik.3692 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Torch. And have the spec themed around being revealed for bonuses. Skills that apply revealed, so stealthing becomes a reset but also nerfs your rotation, rather than adding to it like it does now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aralicia.6157 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'd be interested in seeing staff (or alternatively scepter) make a comeback as a ranged shadow magic weapon, or a similar concept. While both OH sword and Torch also appeal to me, a second staff elite spec would create a precedent that the devs don't have to use a weapon that no other spec can wield.

Nekro.7280 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I think Longbow would fit a thief but playing with 2 swords would be nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk.5460 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I voted for off-hand sword, but in reality any off-hand weapon addition will be disappointing and lackluster due to the initiative system. We wouldn't get nearly as potent or useful abilities that another profession would get out of a new off-hand weapon simply because initiative would allow us to use them multiple times.

derd.6413 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 i don't really care what the weapon is as long as the spec is good. but sword off-hand if i had to choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamzero.9486 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Other: Mainhand Torch, autoattack you toss torches at 900 range, with a leap/mobility move on #2 Spec: Treasure hunter - Steal mechanic changed to a mechanic that reveals a bunch of treasures/weapons around you to pick up and use.

Synstylae.2751 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 People voting for greatsword: what does greatsword have anything to do with being a sneaky, fast and cunning thief? it would just be a step away from the typical thief weapons, just like staff was. Off-hand sword makes most sense, since we already have main-hand sword and it fits the theme, to be honest they should have added it when they released gw2.

Jugglemonkey.8741 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Greatsword, longbow or hammer are most likely as they represent the least work for the devs, when you take dual skills into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikdik.1934 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 My dream would be a complete overhaul of P/P and a gunslinger specialization, but an offhand sword would be my realistic and feasible vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wretched arguments against GS fail... Sniper noobs got a rifle as big as a Greatsword super sneaky I know...

SoulSin.5682 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 After two oriented Power specs it would be great to get a different direction for our next spec. I would say: Torch for a condi oriented set. Focus for a possible Support/Self sustain set (for either power or condi). As far as Thief themed weapons, I still expect us to get Axe as a main weapon (Bandit/Brigand class). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
