Can we have some build diversity please?
Dev: Thieves are asking for buffs, what do we sir?
AnetBoss of Thief: Nope. Just, no.
Dev: But sir, they might be underpowered.
AnetBoss of Thief: Nope. Just, no.
Dev: SIR!
AnetBoss of Thief: Pack your bags, get out.
That’s the conversation I imagine taking place.
Worst Thief in the world, yes I am.
Oh I like this game! My turn.
knock knock knock
metallicaesque music loudly plays inside office room
Karl: “yes come in”
Dev: “hey Karl Ive been reviewing thief forums and it seems like they’re having some serious issues with build diversity.”
Karl: “…okay?”
Dev: “well some posters have made some interesting suggestions on trait improvements. I believe some of these are reasonable and may help bring back builds such as sword/dagger.”
Karl: “so you want to buff them?”
Dev: “essentially, yes.”
Karl: “hmm.. What’s that one trait that like.. Immobalizes people?”
Dev: “do you mean panic strike?”
Karl: “lol idk I have not touched my thief in liek a month. I think so, yeah”
Karl: “any way reduce cooldown by like.. 3ish seconds, but like make the imob 1/2second shorter.”
Dev: “… That’s it?”
Karl: “yeah man get off my back I’m trying to jam here.”

I do agree that it feels a bit like Thieves have been abandoned, but let’s not stray into full-on defamation of character.
Being rude to the Developers is not a good way to get them to care about us.
I understand that it’s frustrating, but let’s try to be patient. I’m sure things will get better.
After all, when the game launched, Necromancers were worthless… and look at them now. Our time will come. I’m sure of it.
