Guild Wars 2

OK so there is a thief with a rifle in the trailer https://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com/en at 1:08

it looks like he is wearing medium armour and has a thief mask on. We know engineer are using hammer and ranger will be using the staff. So its only leave the thief in the medium armour left as a option.

Aww i was hoping for a staff thief.

sniper path HERE I COME!!!

…unless that’s just an engi

Are you certain it’s a thief? Did you see it do any attacks? This is one of the problems with weight classified armors instead of class classified, you can make a ranger look like an engineer and an engineer look like a thief.

With wardrobe I can even wear a thief hood now as a ranger.

Edit: It’s probably a thief, but who is to say there isn’t 2 specializations? This is all uncomfirmed info yet and still just hype train.

look at it like this we know the eng is getting a hammer and the ranger is getting a staff if we take a guess that all classes will be getting one new weapon unlocked that leave very little options at what that profession can be.

I’m with you on this one
How cool would it be to use the staff for physical attacks in a cool acrobatic way xD

As far as I’ve seen:

Rangers with Staff
Engineer with Hammer
Mesmer with Shield
Necromancer with Greatsword
And perhaps the Thief with Rifle..

Looks nice, actually... so far.
