Guild Wars 2

What’s a Thief if they don’t have basic burglary skills, right?

Would be great if we had climbing skills and gear:
Grappling hooks, swinging by the ropes, and all sorts of rope climbing up/down tricks.

And the pretty shuriken and daggers in some of our outfits could use a little fresh air.
While flying at our targets.

Since we’re getting the Bo and are oh-so Kung-F(u) now.

For your consideration, dear developers at ArenaNet.

This is why Core Thief should have Axe so we can be like Lara Croft and climb and kill with it. :| Climbing Axe OP.

Climbing, we have it. It’s SB5.

Throwing daggers, we have them too, in the form of two DD utility skills.

Not quite. It is a teleport jump. Can’t scale castle walls with it.

I meant the daggers and shuriken in our armour. Turn them into more than decoration.

Sorry but I wouldn’t trust Anet to do this.
Implementing such features (aside of thrown items) is tough to do. Let alone implementing it without breaking anything…

Rather see them working on proper balancing.

I’d like a disguise skill. Keeps you from getting aggro in PvE, and changes your colour in WvW.
Or better yet, a disguise skill that makes the thief look like a rabbit… or moa bird.
Of course I’m kidding, lol.

Still more useful than thief in spvp. (Lol)

This isn’t Skyrim, it’s not necessary for the game. Besides, why would I want to get hit by every projectile while my character climbs up the wall at some moderate rate when I could just teleport up?

Armour are just sprites. As an object, on its own, the graphic we see doesn’t make any more difference to anything else than any of the other skins. It’s just a different number, that is the address of where that pattern is in the memory files. Any thing you see on the skin holds no meaning to anything but being an image. It would be like trying to eat the hamburger you see on the menu at McDonalds. It’s not real. It won’t work.

If you want to RP some ninja then just use your imagination for crawling walls with grappling hooks and throwing shuriken.

Id love it if thieves got throwing daggers as a weapon.

Make them like Shadowbane did- allow for either physical dps or proc (elemental dps)

Never tried Skyrim, would need a new machine or split this one’s brain.
Hmm. Getting hit by projectiles while climbing, that, I did not consider, but it would be appealing to the devs, since it is a known part of war history on Earth.

Armour are just sprites? Ah. I had to read your explanation again.
Thank you for the enlightenment, I had an inkling that the weaponry etc were mere images, but I was hoping that, just as they make images run and fight, they can find a way to make attached imagery into detachable weapons.

Then again, it is beyond me how, but there is no harm in exercising the imagination. Surely someone out there will pick up on it and make it happen.

Hence the forums.

Again, I thank you for your opinions, I’ve learnt some new things.

You know offhand dagger has…throw dagger skills? And 2 utilities. And an elite. How many throwing weapon skills do you want!

As many as my boots, belt and shoulder straps can carry!
…which would kind of make Thief like some kind of swirling porcupine..

I give this post a 5/7. I laughed hard enough to wake everyone in the house.

Lara Croft usually had a hook on her rope – I’ve never seen her using an axe.
She has Uzis though – so whenever you heard me screaming “Uuuuhhh Uzzziiiiiiiss” (found them) or “Kitten, no ammo anymore” (used them) – you knew what I was doing.

There’s no way that they would give one class in the game the ability to scale vertical surfaces. If they ever add that capability, it would be a Mastery that all classes can use.

She’s a Shortbow/Axe Teef.

I think you’re playing the wrong game.

Good she was buffed in TR 7 or 8 – I didn’t play that far.
And I wouldn’t really call her a thief. Although she raids tombs – maybe the kitten of a thief and necro?
