Guild Wars 2

outside of shadow arts & acrobatics is what the thief needs.
As it is now you are forced to take these trait lines because of shadow’s embrace and expeditious dodger.
In theory one can do ED but sometimes you just need that speed buff.
I would love to have a sigil for this

There’s quite a nice condition removal trait in trickery you know :o

And seriously? Forced to take Acrobatics? The trait line is kind of meh no matter how you look at it you know.

I kind of disagree about forced to take one of the other as all professions need to equip at least one defense line to make sure they arent dying. Adding more defensive options in the offensive lines steers the meta further into this dps or die limbo we got going. I would love to see new/better iterations of both, but only in the lines they are in or the elite specs to come

try sigil of genrosity

But this only removes 1 condition and how many slots you have?
And for acrobatics I forgot vigor, I wish we had a “vigor on crit” trait like eles.

As for swiftness, I sometimes just need it to escape and when I do juping puzzles.
But dodging ind juping puzzles often is not a good idea, therefore I wished I had another possibility to get that buff.

Well 1 condition is already quite a lot. Also for swiftness I’d take … Trickery. With bountyful thief.

dont have any of these 2 lines and conditions are the least of the problem…
i want acro back but thats only for feline grace

conditions are kitten easy to get a rid of with S/D (yes i know S/D lol’d kitten weapons ty anet)

When I want to run away from an enemy stealing is not possible.
And 1 condition is nothing in silverwastes.

I don’t play sword/dagger, I play dagger/pistol.

Of course stealing is possible. Just unselect all targets and press F1. Bam, bountiful thief procs and gives you swiftness.
