Guild Wars 2

I wanna ask some opinions about the thief the thing i would like to see on thief is Dual Swords wielding ability how u guys think about this and plz tell me some reasons why u want it and why not

What offhand and dual wield skills would you want an offhand sword to offer? What is the thief missing that can be filled with this option?

you cannot dual wield swords as a thief. you can use a sword, dagger or pistol in your main hand with a dagger or pistol on your offhand, or a shortbow with both hands.

to be honest, it is a little hard to understand the point of your post. are you asking whether dual wielding swords is a good new idea? i think thats very cool but unfortunately not included in the class

i know its not included as part of the class but in my opinion it should be added in the future as an thief is an master in short-bow , daggers, pistols and sword so i hope they will add it in some upcoming expansion for the dual en offhand skills its for anet to set them straight i was just asking some opinions about it and how u guys feel about it

it would be a good addition. mabye they could add claw weapons too?

u made me laugh at that one tho but i think we just have to wait what anet has in store for us anyways thanks and have fun playing

Blah, I hate swords, they bring so little to the table.

Offhand sword options would be nice, as well as a mainhand mace option.

I’d see offhand sword skills being a sort of defensive melee offhand option for theives since shield-theives seems a bit silly, but something like a channeled block and a oneshot projectile reflect would feel right at home on a theif offhand sword.

What theives shouldn’t get in an offhand sword is big damage abilities or CC since we have other offhand options that do those very well, plus it seems thematically wrong for theives to use an offhand large weapon to do big damage like a warrior would.

For the same thematic reasons I feel like theives should have a mace mainhand option, but with as large as the maces are in this game it would feel a little silly for a thief to be able to offhand them. I figure theif mainhand mace skills could function as a low damage high CC melee option which would be very nice for support-focused theif builds with a reliable amount of confusion/weakness utility but low base damage on the skills.
