Poking fun at the Thief’s already lack of range with…

Well if it has to be explained I guess you are right.

Suprise shot – 5 initiative.
4 second cast
applies stealth for 2 seconds 2x damage modifier, 1200 range

hotfix within a month
“We feel stealth is too powerful on this skill, so we changed it instead to a 2s blind field with 1s pulse interval instead.”

First patch (6 months down the road)
“We feel this skill offers too much in 1 package. Initiative cost increased to 6, blind field now pulses once every 2s”

Second patch (12 months down the road)
“We feel this skill is still too strong. Range reduced to 900, multiplier reduced to 1.5 in PvP.”

Third patch
No changes, because rifle thief is dead.

Fourth patch
“Thieves don’t seem to be using rifle at all, so we added 1 stack of 3s confusion to Surprise shot. "

After careful study of the Longbow, trapping Guardian “Dragonhunter”; I believe thieves will get a scepter in the off hand and be named Jester!

All skills will revolve around new channeled condition, hilarious laughter.

Which places target’s skills on recharge, slowly reduces stamina all while the Jester is dancing poorly and unable to do any real damage.

I doubt it because that makes so much sense.

Following the Guardian trend, we’ll get the Warhorn. Every Thief needs a Warhorn.

Which would result in Bards. Hmmm, Banner or Consecration skills for that one, Sir Vincent?

No, we’ll be using the Warhorn as Blowpipe that shoots poison dart so that we have a 1200 range weapon —albeit the shape of the Warhorn is bended upward, it’s perfect for Thieves. It’s a 1200 ranged weapon that cannot harm anyone other than the Thief.

Man. I can see this one hitting the Nerf List on Day 1.
“Thief makes self into Lootbag with blowdart, News at 11.”
