Now the Daredevil is cool and all (really, I love it), but I cant stop my imagination from conjuring different spec ideas.

I think it would be amazing if thief would get a dark magic kinda spec! I present to you, the spelljacker!

Weapon: Scepter

The spec will make steal a ranged ability (no shadowstep to melee) that focusses more on the spell jacked rather than the teleport. It would break stuns and jack the last heal/utility/elite spell that was cast by the target. This would make for some awesome plays! I havent really thought about traits/utilities, but the change in steal would be amazing imo.

So what do you guys think?

I think shadowmancer would be a cooler name. It would have AoEs, skills similar to ring of fire and ice staff 4 (the chill field), and group stealth that can be traited for complete reveal immunity, or maybe introduce something like stealth scaling with precision and reveal scaling with healing power but theoretically max stealth can hide from max reveal and reveal skills would be effective only against those with not enough precision (or not using optimal stealthing skills so shadow refuge might get cut through but another group stealth skill that’s stronger wouldn’t)

I’m gonna get some flak from this, but I don’t mind getting torch, and being called Arsonist.
Burn on dodges, burns on crits, Molotov kittentails for fire fields, fire drake venom etc.
Make condi thieves even more viable.

Such fail on everyone’s part.

1st they will nerf the SA line to utter uselessness. Then bring a new line in called ninjitsu that focuses purely on stealth.

The following elite spec after we’re all ninjas for a year will be Loki. That will be revealed months following the destruction of the Trickery line.

That’s how it’s going to go down so stop deluding yourselves.

I guess the Arsonist elite spec wif Torch could get Amaterasu and set an area on fire with black flame that causes heavy aoe power/crit damage with a unique burn condi that can’t be removed and jumps to nearby enemies if they get too close while burning. I just want to set the world on fire.

Awww rifle would be amazing! second-hand-sword could be, too also thought that we might get a shuriken-shaped focus with foo-level abilities to match the nerf history :P jokes aside, shuriken-shaped focus with some long range/stealth skills and AOE utilities would be cool

And yes, i play [Teef] :)

Yeah our current spec is heavily built around being agile so id wager a future spec would be built around heavy stealth

Shawtell, Zen Verani, Rayshia Howen, Iyado, Colace Nzoir, Arteel Fyrien [Teef]

Well the specs try to change playstyles. That means we need Tank Thief that hides itself in shadow armor made of fire and taking less damage for example. Shadowform redesign.

So then there’s Thieves who infiltrate with stealth and steal w/o being seen. Pursesnatches Daredevil Thieves who steal in plain sight and run away and then we’d get the bully Thief Arsonist that takes direct approach destroying and vandalizing everything during theft.

I’ve been slowly coming up with something for a while as a suggestion and challenge to Karl – design something cool. I don’t think I’ll ever get around to writing in and balancing the damage coefficients, but I’m done with the design and premise and skills, and just need to finish traits.

SA is already in ruins – they can’t make the line worse.
And if anyone wants to argue that this or that trait is really nice: they all need stealth.

You’re an elitist – and I hope the devs don’t copy and paste your ideas (again) of how a thief should play.

ETA: Just plain observation, no insult.

They should make a spec named Mastermind, a rifle thief that focuses on summoning minions, and then stealthing.

It would break stuns and jack the last heal/utility/elite spell that was cast by the target.

So…what would they do in PvE?

I should be writing.
