LocknDog- level 80 thief
(edited by yodog.4208)
So a lot of the acrobatics line has potential and quite honestly could be on par with shadow arts if it had done quality reform. If it is to be in line with what the trait line entitles, it should give bonuses to dodging and being revealed and or making out if stealth sustainable. I’m going to give a few examples of new traits and old ones I’d want to revamp.
Please add your own ideas as well
Assasins Equalibrium: whenever you are revealed you have stability (revealed would pulse stability for 1 second every second)
Fleet of Foot: cure a condition every time you evade. Applies to all conditions not just weakness and cripple. (No ICD)
Assasins Retreat: Gain 50% movement speed when you are revealed
Quick Pockets: weapon swap is reduced to 6 seconds. Swapping weapons restores 3 initiative.
Master Trapper: Traps are throwable and cool downs are reduced by 20%.
Hard to Catch: Shadowstep BACKWARDS (600) and break stun if hit by CC. Will not activate if you have stability.
Assassins Reward: revealed pulse heals you. (Base 300 hp/s) (.5) scales with healing power extremely well
And for all you P/P lovers out there: this would be a grandmaster:
Tactical Assault: evading does not cancel channeled abilities
(Think evading while using unload)

Saved for moar ideas
Full Acro + Agility + Sword Mainhand = Lots of evades
It’s plenty viable. You get to build to be an evade tank

Exactly this. It’s all about Synergy, really.
Acrobatics: S/x builds
SA: D/x, x/D gimmick cheese stealth builds
Buffing acrobatics would suddenly creep, making Sword builds over the top. There are a few things (Hard to Catch, new crap trait, Assassin’s Rewards scaling) that needs fixing, but aside that Acro is a good line to invest in general as a Sword thief.
