Falling Trait and the GM

Falling Trait and the GM

in Thief

Seems like the reversion to the old hidden thief and the merging of the falling trait into the GM trait is a huge hit to a very popular WvW roaming spec for no apparent reason.

Prior to this merge(rearrange) you could take
Blinding Power on fall, Stealth Blinds and Shadow Rejuv at the same time.

No thief is going to bother taking any GM besides shadow rejuv and this hurts d/d the most which was already seeing less play than d/p. Both builds lose the certainly not OP but obviously fun falling trait.

In addition this seemed to have been done to leave hidden thief in place without giving it the blinding powder on steal/fall which was originally proposed a few months back. Nobody takes hidden thief now and nobody is going to start taking it now.

As other have pointed out elsewhere this was one of the huge falling traits people actually used and having it as a GM is pretty insulting as it is now the best part of the GM trait.

Is there any reason I am not seeing for how this is a good change? Seems like everyone is going to take the same traits in SA and none of them are very interesting.

Thoughts?
