Guild Wars 2

Since Daredevil isn’t meant to be a stealth-based spec, I feel that there needs to be some other way to gain access to the core Thief’s stealth attack mechanic. The idea is that whenever you evade an attack (every X seconds) your next auto is your stealth attack. Maybe Daredevil doesn’t need any buffs, but I just feel that not having access to a mechanic of the parent class as a child class is a bit lame.

Edit: Upon further thinking, this may actually be better placed in Acrobatics to revitalize that trait line.

agree, upper hand and assassins equilibrium are useless

I’m just having a heated discussion with a friend who’s currently really mad at this game as there’s no balance (he doesn’t main thief).
He thinks Shiro should’ve been thief’s elite and I agree and maybe it even was planned like that but people wanted to have a new class.
The problem with that: We had and have a traitline dedicated to evades which was maimed to create daredevil. A thief with now daredevil, staff? and acrobatics has got a nearly neverending supply of evades and dodges. At some point they will have to nerf that if they’re serious about esports- but with that either the whole daredevil line won’t work anymore = the elite, or acrobatics is completely dead.
So maybe they should just rework the whole acrobatics traitline and make a sustain line out of it.

Edit: Non Hot owners won’t be able to play S/D though, but they currently can’t anyway.
Edit²: Or maybe they can if the sustain line is really good and with daredevil they then get the option to have a “completely” evasive playstyle.
