Wouldn’t it be cool if thieves could get ninjaweapon kit skills!! Even more if there would be a Katana skills (here he/she would hold the katana upsidedown), shuriken skills for the attacking your enemies at long range, a kusarigama (sickle and chain) or even claws for highspeed upclose action! Please Arenanet.. Make it happen..

Thieves are not Ninja or Assassin. This perception of the profession has to stop.

What’s the point? Due to initiative we don’t really swap in combat and defines ourselves by our primary set unlike engineer that has CD and no weapon swap kits should remain unique to them.

Might as well make Thieves breath fire and every time they use “Scorpion” Wire they yell; “Get over here!” (not that I already do it, but might as well officially add it).

Well i get the point with it looking fancy on paper, but nah in reality imo.

To keep to theme of a new Thief weapon, looking at the weapons/skills we have in the game it would go down to Rifle, Longbow and maybe Axes.

If we look for something not yet implemented in the game then maybe ropes/chains of some sort, not the ninja kind.

If we look at utilities then maybe some kind of self-injected drug, similar to engineer elexirs, giving like superspeed and quickness for a short duration and similar effects.
Or maybe, something not quite like a kit per-se, but something that burns up the utility skill, grants you like the mentioned rope for a medium duration, with new weapon skills etc.. Think like how deathshroud works, shift into a new skillbar without affecting your choice of weapons.

I want a rope/chain utility skill that lets you temporarily pull yourself to objects, tie up people and set traps, along with a medium range auto attack. That would maybe make SB offhand less mandatory.

I like your rope/chain idea!

When I saw the chronomancer, I was happy because it looked cool and totally new. So I began to think how Arenanet could change the Thief. The necromancer is getting the great-sword, so the thief will most likely get an axe. Then I thought:“Don’t know any ninjas with axes”. And then it hit me "What if the thief would get something similar as weaponkits that the engineers have ".

I just wanted to see if other people would like my idea and/or what they would like to add to their thief.

They’d have a trapping kit that’d move all the trap utilities into it and add the ability to tie poisonous razor wire strings to things to make a forest of deadly wires to slice up everyone who enters as well as needle dartz to shoot people with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a9h6mbakwg

What if thieves actually stole their kit depending on what class they were up against, like they already do with the single ability we get from Steal? Instead of only getting a single one shot ability, we got an entire kit of 1-5 slot weapon abilities?

Well, if you watch that weaponless dueling video again, you can see it happen right around 30 seconds. There is at least 1 short pull against a mesmer later and maybe another obstructed again (didn’t feel like watching the entire video again), but Scorpion wire messes up enough that I don’t usually include it on my bar.

While I can see kits working (thematically) with the thief, I can personally see gadgets, stances or survival skills being more likely. That said, Anet doesn’t always do the expected (that’s a good thing).

If they did have kits I hope they can find a way to make kits use the initiative mechanic. Initiative is one of the best things about the thief and one of the main reasons I play one, so would love to see kits use initiative.

Simplicity is complex.

Good feedback is key to getting the developers to listen to you.
