Guild Wars 2

Remove Mug dmg and executioner. Buff weapon skills

From a spvp point of view it will allow for more build diversity

Nerf rev/scrapper and reallocate staff dmg → more build diversity.

working on the high dependency of landed steals due to mandatory trickery and mug would indeed allow more diversity.
I would not recomment to do so in the near future though, the pryority should be on this:

Nerf rev/scrapper

i disagree to both options. mug is good for being chain hits such as for venom hits.

executioner is important to thief when playing slower damage builds.

but you do not need either trait to make a good build.

You don’t need Executioner unless you’re playing an executioner build, meaning a build where you need to kill fast. Proof is, Improv works in staff builds for example. Same goes for Mug: you’re trying to burst, that’s why you take an insta-cast damage-dealing trait.

With the dagger AA buff, thief’s single target damage is not bad. But if you want to play a burst build, I don’t see why you shouldn’t take burst traits.
