Guild Wars 2

Honestly it’s a staff that the thief is using which reminds me nothing of a daredevil in any aspect. I’d prefer it they’d call it Monk or Ninja as that would make more sense, as those two forms of art are known to use staffs.

The Monkfruit. Delivering karate action with none of the calories!

Edit: Apparently the first two letters of a common curse word are automatically censored? Hah. Lemme change that.

Skirmisher, nothing else fits in my opinion better for a brawling Staff Wielder, that is no Monk, that is no Assassin/Ninja, but just a more brutish reckless kind of Rogue that searchs always the risk in combat and that has learned how to defend hisself better with a Staff, using more Martial Arts in combat, being in dangerous situations over time even makes them more dangerous for the enemy, with a Gameplay System, that makes you more effective, so more Damage you receive.

Thats the kind of way how I’d love to see the spec and I hope, that ANet will make some right changes after the second Beta Weekend Event, so that the Spec won’t end up as Acrobatics 2.0, but actually as an Elite Spec, that provides its own unique mechancis and Gameplay Mechanic Changes over Steal instead of giving us simply only more Endurance /facepalm

Both Monk and Ninja don’t work and make no sense…first Ninjas don#t in the lore of the game.. we have had Assassins, but they were mostly a Human only thign based on Cantha, which is the reason why we have now actually Thieves and not Assassins, despite Anet usign their freedom of giving Traits names which mix up class name terms that are different, than the profession names

Monk is also a Human only thing and everybody who played GW1 should know this, because they are religious and every playable races has their very own different beliefs.
Norn for example have no monks, they have Shamans!
Charr are Atheists, they have no religion, that despise Magic and Religion, , which is the reason why they are now so much all about Technology
Asura believe only in their superior Eternal Alchemy that has no place fro monks ancd the believals of Bookahs …
Sylvari have only their Dream, they are open minded, but by themself they have no religion or somethign similar liek how humens pray to their gods and having monks in temples and shrines to honor these gods and absolutely right now, with mordremoth in action, they have absolutely other problems than to have like humans monks that pray to some kind of deity and being all meditative about them

Profession Names work only, when they are racial neutral, when they fit thematicalyl to the gameplay, aren’t bonded to any unexplorable lore based continents/real world mythologies that don’t exist in the game and the names shouldn’t sound like silly generic high conceptual titles that basically EVERYONE can wear, being that way pretty much unimportant names, that don’t give you the credibility of being something truly unique that no other profession can be/do

thief is a sneaky steally bursty criminal.

this new spec is more durable, does more damage, runs around beating people up.

what kind of criminal runs around beating people up? an enforcer…

tl;dr Enforcer for life.

Do you even know, what the word Enforcer means?

its nothign else but just "Slayer, Killer, Murderer, Liquidator, Executioner, Butcher, Eliminator, Assassin

In brief, just a word that stands for killing something/someone.
offensively fighting with martial arts with the intention to kill somethign doesn’t fit together.
Martial Arts are used in first line for Self Defense…

Do you you use thigns like Karate, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Taek Won-Do, Kung F.u ect for the sole reason to kill someone? No, you use these techniques in first line for self defense and nothing else, not with the intention to kill, but with the intention to make your enemy unable to fight further or to follow you… if it actually happens that your enemy dies while fightign agaisnt you, then because your opponnent forced you into the situation to defend yourself with techniques that required according measurements to protect your own life, that result in the death of the other..

But a true martial artist never fights for the intention to kill somebody! Thieves are no Executioners >.>
