Since LS2 is almost upon us I think now is a good time for ANet to address some thief skill problems while simultaneously adding new skills to our bars. I think we should get seeping wound back and make it a trick, target enemy gets 3 stacks of bleed and is crippled for 10 secs. I think all thief traps should hit for aoe instead of 1 target that’s so stupid. Palm strike could be a cool knock back that inflicts cripple and does x amount of damage and has a cd of 20 secs. Give thieves sword as an offhand and make s/s combo attack blades of steel or flashing blades and gives thieves aegis for 2 secs. P/S combo could be falling lotus strike thieves shoot the target then throw their blade at them for for a blind/kd. D/S could be cross-slash, the thief could shadowstep to target foe then slash them with the d/s and cause poison and bleeds for 3 stacks.

I think these skills give thieves more options beyond the boring p/d and d/p meta while allowing for more fun pvp encounters. What do you guys think?

Ditto…hell i’d settle for new/interchangeable weapon skills. I heard somewhere that the second huge patch (supposedly this fall) will include some of that. But the return to BYOB is always welcomed. I’m sure you all encounter the same convos with guildies, but how awesome gw2 b if it just made small changes that resembled gw1. Seeing those old skill names brought back great memories of “build diversity”. The thought of a Deep Wound condition…makes me feel all warm inside lol. I do believe Anet does really want to push for people to understand how to play before giving players all kinds of options(as they anticipate an increase in new player I suppose)but man I miss a lot of old GW.

I want off-hand sword :-) and rifle too, or at least a longbow if not rifle.
