Guild Wars 2

How badly do you want dual swords thief?

Or do you want an entirely new different weapon for thieves?

I thought I saw something on about Anet creating new weapon sets after they get more “balance” and content.

But I’d also like a a blunt weapon only used for cc. Knocking down and incapacitating without killing shouts thief to me.

I want sword/axe on my thief but I don’t think I will get it. I think that’s coolest weapon set.

While I wouldn’t complain much if we got it, I don’t really think dual swords fits the theme of the Thief, people are just accustomed to seeing Rogues with them in WoW.

I actually think what would be better is a good, usable Off-hand light option. Single-wielding a dagger, sword, or pistol should be a viable way to play the game and there are a number of different ways they could accommodate that. The easiest would be to add a glove-type ‘weapon’ usable by every profession in the offhand and maybe some professions in the main hand.

Also, we need more thiefy weapons altogether – whips, claws, boomerangs, darts/shurikens, etc., and probably MH axes also.

….You’d rather see darts and boomerangs than dual swords?

They were just random examples, but yes, I would rather see new weapons as well as OH viability over Dual Swords.

That’s it.
Blunt is very thiefy. Stun, stun them, make ’em sleep and steal.

Sadly 0 I really like DD

I can’t think of any instance where a thief type character wielding 2 swords has been anything but comicially bad though :/ all the films and books and such when the hero is pitched against a thief/bandit etc with 2 swords they are always the most incompetant one of the lot, usually lodging one of their swords into something, hitting themselves with them or just being grossly ineffective.

Which is why Anet will probably give us them but make every attack with them hit us for the same amount of damage as we deal :P

I’d love a martial staff type weapon for thief!

First thing that came into my mind was SAO

Well short swords are just as realistic as dual daggers, but wielding insane 1 handers almost the size of claymores is meh. I would probably like the style of it, but prefer something cooler like Katar / Suwaiya.

A blunt weapon sounds cool as well, with lots of CC as the focus. Maybe a 1/2 second stun could be built into the main attack to interrupt often. May be too OP, but wouldn’t be much different than spamming head shot… would be great to get rid of defiant stacks then hit the boss with a hefty stun or knockdown.

I’d be even more interested in the thief getting bucklers.

The quarter staff would be genrely applicable and it would be nice to have a melee two handed weapon.

My recommendation for skills: Guard, Turn, Parry, Spin, and Thrust.
(Left out dodge since that is already in the game)
