Guild Wars 2

While in another topic debating the thief I thought of a suggestion for the thief pistol mainhand number 2 spell.

Here it is:

Pistol#2: Tracer Bullet (X Initiative)
Fires the pistol to the ground with an explosive tracer bullet while jumping straight up, evading enemy attacks for x/x second in the guise of the light emitted by the tracer bullet and burns up to 5 targets in X aoe range for Y seconds.
- X dmg
- X second evasion (probably like half a second? maybe a quarter?)
- Blast Finisher
- X second burn : (x dmg)

Your thoughts?

Anyone?

Personally I would love this ofcourse :P

Why are you suggesting a change?
Pistol is meant to be a single-target weapon, and #2 deals damage and 5 stacks of vulnerability

I see no reason to change it

Looks OK, any leap or blast finisher on #2 would make pistol/pistol a more viable weapon set.

This was my suggestion on an earlier post on the Thief forums:

Skill name: Recoil
Skill description: Recoil backwards from your foe, crippling them:
Cost: 3 initiative
Damage: 168
Cripple: 2s
Combo Finisher: Leap
Range: 600

It would basically work exactly the same as #3 on shortbow (in fact I wouldn’t care if it had the same animation) but it would be a leap finisher and wouldn’t have an evade – so you can combo Black Powder + Leap to gain stealth from the pistol/pistol weapon set:

Your change would be far too similar to P/D3 though
