Guild Wars 2

I think this would be an interesting choice as an elite skill. It doesn’t see use as a normal utility, because thieves need to utilize their utilities for survivability in the meta and taking this skill as a utility really impacts survivability in a way that you have to build towards Assassin’s Signet in order to make the tradeoff worthwhile. I would use this skill if it were elite though, it’d be an interesting alternative to basilisk venom trading a CC for more damage.

Nope.

Venom => Assassin’s signet => Stealth (with trait life stealing) => CnD => Backstab.

Don’t want to lose this combo in PvP, but a new elite can be good. Thieves guild, just lol, good in pve, and that’s all. Dagger storm is the only stability of thief (don’t talk me about the new trait xD), but have a too much long cooldown. And Basilic Venom… 45 sec of cool down for a 1/2 sec of stun ? Warriors can be spam stun in aoe every 10 secs with hammer.

Basilic venom can be an utility skill, but assassin’s signet can’t be an elite ^^’.

Why are you comparing Warrior Hammer to Thief Elite?

Classes are intended to be different. Each can do something better than another. Implying your class is bad because another does better isn’t exactly a fair argument.

I think “elite” skills should do something worth calling them as elite, and assassin’s signet surely doesn’t meet the requirements. To be honest, so does basilisk venom, but hopefully venom rework will arrive shortly (within 10 years), making them viable options.
