Tails.9372 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 In terms of looks I'd say the outlaw outfit with dual revolvers and the dynamics exo-suit outfit with dual HOPE. I also quite like the The Predator but we're still missing a "[safari hunter esque](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6f/fe/54/6ffe54188409150f0ec2d2c630767d62.jpg "safari hunter esque")" themed outfit to make it work.

babazhook.6805 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Dual revolvers just looks cool when unload engaged. The animations on d/d (death blossom) and Staff are also nice. Overall I just like the animations on thief more then most other professions. The active gameplay of dodges and stealth for defense as opposed to HIT my shield or HIT my armor also suits what I see as the Thief "theme". When designing my thief for "looks" I like to try to give it a sleek rather then bulky look so try as best as possible to avoid weapons that are oversized or what I see as overly extravagant.

kash.9213 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I can dodge jump into a Flanking Strike and do the circular animation in the air on the target. That and the idle but still in combat sword/dagger stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saloja.7920 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 They are the tricksters and that tickles my fancy. Some complain about the thief in wvw and pvp because they run and hide and don't fight fair, but what do you expect? Also I love the aesthetic that you basically do your damage on one weaponset. Meaning that when you're hitting something your axe doesn't miraculously turn into a mace and your offhand dagger into a shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you think The Predator works best with this kind of style. Predator in itself appears to me as a charr-made highly technological rifle(hence, the charr head decoration and plasma bullets), so you'd probably want some magitech kinda armor to go along with it. Still... There is a pretty similar outfit in the game to the picture you've linked. Jungle Explorer Outfit. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Jungle_Explorer_Outfit Just re-dye it and you'd have something similar to a safari hunter indeed.

pureskullz.7536 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The brutal nature of a thief one on one no one takes them lightly and they shouldn't. I prefer the less stealthy approach with D/D power not one shot just an old school build and I just love being in their face and putting tons of damage on them. And avoiding their hits making them mad and angry even if I die if I made them angry I did my job and trickery is the best thing about the thief and the street and roaming look that some thieves have is one of my favorites I've always prefered the rogue and assassin classes due to the dual dagger combat with trickery and stealth and damage. Now for DE it's unique but feels like a separate class if I had the option over it over core thief Id choose core thief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedek.8932 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Excelsior. Well, I like literally everything of it. I usually relax when I can sit down and can alter screenshots or create collages with my Asura, just for the fun of it and to gain some more GFXing skills. All of my characters, especially my Lalafell Blackmage and my Asura Thief/Deadeye have both a fixed appearance; I do not change it back and forth except for the clothes. But everything else stays. Just like in real life, I stick to my principles. What I like about my Asura is that it both fits very well. The noble, educated Thief with manners works as much as the black leather wearing, heartless and cold-blooded sniper. Asura are small and thus sneaky, can hide better and don't attract too much (e.g. on wooden planks due to body weight). I usually play stealth games too, so I love the overall feeling of it. I think I've already talked about my childhood and that I often sneaked around for sweets or to troll my parents and classmates or even at work to the well-stocked storage room of the other department I should not even be at. When playing Styx - the game about a foul-mouthed killer Goblin - I realize what small body size requires and brings, e.g. better acrobatic moves. Upon giving up on my Engineer I had to decide between Necromancer and Thief. I eventually went for the latter because I like the blood-and-steel method: Arrows, bullets, daggers. I also love the feel to pull out the daggers or pistols out from the Sneakthief set because it really has something to it, some unspoken, hidden threat. A huge sword, yeah, obvious. But small and concealed weapons have this disguised feel to it that I love. I am leaving all the stuff why I love my Asura thief and sniper. Unfortunately, I had not much time to complete the sets, but I might go back to it: Some of it has been posted all over the boards, but it basically shows why I love this game much more than the competitors.

It's trully amazing, and reminds me a little of Borderlands for some reason. Amazing work! Also, Styx is an amazing game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkilian.1854 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 What I love about thief is, basically, being a thief. This might even sound stupid, but there's differences between the thief and assassin archetypes, althought both can overlap perfectly. In my case, i'm a very big fan of the white-collar thief trope. Burglars, pickpockets, escapists, etc. Althought in-game it isn't really possible to fit that archetype (learn from ESO, Anet!), I sure do love making my thief fit that image. This doesn't really imply a fully pacifist personality, but I really like the idea of outsmarting you enemy instead of just hitting them harder. As an asura player, this gets even more significant: You're smaller, so you have to be cunning and agile to face someone 3x times bigger than you. But also, the means of the profession are really cool. You're a trickster, an acrobat, and while you have weaknesses, you know your enemy's too. I don't want my thief to be an overpowered edgelord who slays everyone who gets on his way blah blah blah. Subtelty, keeping a low profile, and knowing when to strike will make you live longer. The path of the thief can be rewarding, but also dangerous. You might get beaten up many times, but practice makes perfect. This is probably what I most love about the profession right now: This "trope" of being weaker but being able to pull of neat tricks with skill fits also very well in the gameplay. It's a very nice overlap between class fantasy and mechanics, and it's what makes the game worth playing for me. Here's my thief: I looked for something that resembled a leather armor with pockets that allow for storing small objects and tools like lockpicks, pliers, etc, while keeping a "simple" aspect so it doesn't draw unnecessary attention. He also has a leather hood and covering fur shoulders to keep a low profile and blend into the crowd. (I like to think that the shoulders can be removed for extra mobility freedom, but i've yet to find some shoulderpads that fit with that mess of a hood).

And it makes it all the more satisfying when you manage to catch a thief mid escape and ruin its day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
