DareDevil
===
Staff range and number of targets it can hit are the same as D\D. It would make sense if the Staff range was longer, like 180 instead of 130.
Staff #2 does not face an enemy that is targeted.

Berserker
===
Berserker was the only elite specialization that I could not initially figure out how to activate. Is it possible to put F1 and F2 next to each other? It was hard to see F2 behind F1 and making F2 transparent did not help matters. However, the elite specialization is incredible.

I was also disappointed in Daredevil’s poor area abilities. I’d really like to try giving up Shortbow for Pistol but because Thieves have no area option aside from Shortbow, that’s impossible. I was hoping Daredevil would bring in like an AoE knockdown leg sweep and broad staff swing attacks so you could use Staff for AoE and pull out Pistol/Pistol for ranged damage but that doesn’t look like it’s happening.

I found Berserker hard to combo with. With the Adrenaline bar bouncing up and down trying to activate Berserking and then use your Burst skills while fighting normally felt a bit clumsy to me, but that may just be inexperience with the spec.

I agree, I was hoping staff would be an alternative aoe solution to Shortbow. Now I’m caught between deciding whether I want D\D or the staff. D\D has the same range and the ability to stealth. Staff is slower speed, can blind and have vulnerability with evades. I guess staff is good for a thief that doesn’t rely heavily on stealth. I don’t know, will think about it more before BWE3.
