Guild Wars 2

Why Rev was given Assassins presence and not thief? I mean when I first saw that trait back when HoT came out, I thought that was a buff coming from the new DD line and that Thief got new party support skills. So when I finally mastered the DD line and realized it was not a buff coming from Thief it was saddening.

So, since thief is severely lacking in party support skills, I thought of a way to change signet of agility. Signet of agility is useless. The 25% passive movement speed is useless now with Dash trait. The new Signet of Agility passive would be evade 1 attack every 40s and the active skill would be you and 4 other party members evade all attacks for 3s.

Another idea, signet of agility grants 5 people 180 ferocity and active grants the thief 180 ferocity for 12s

Druid got permanent +33% movement speed, does that mean they must give another boon to Druids to replace Swiftness or Signet of the Hunt?
If the signet is useless to you, then just don’t equip it.
And asking for more support on thief is kinda bold considering we just got Venom Share baseline.
P.S.: this belongs in the Thief subforum

Thief isn’t really meant to be a supportive class. I mean, it’s great that you want to support your team, but you support your team by doing damage as a thief.

Besides, don’t you think we have enough support classes? Druid, Chronomancer, revanant, guardian, etc. True, the thief doesn’t have support-like skills, but you serve your party best by doing lots of damage while everyone else keeps you alive

Assassin’s Presence fits better with the spirit themed Revenant. The “presence” referred to is not the revenant. How could the thief hold this in lore?

The thief basically plays the role of Assassin in this game. His/her mere presence should boots his/her allies ferocity by 150.

Please don’t remove one of the two sources of +25% movement increases for Thieves without HoT.

Personally, I’d prefer to make the increased movement speed baseline for the Thief to give it a better shot at melee as well as lessen the need for the Shortbow’s mobility.
