Guild Wars 2

Pretty much the title. Leave thief damage more or less where it is, let SA have support options involving stealth as it (kinda) already does, and make acro into a spec devoted to providing team support that doesn’t involve stealth or evades.

So how would you make a support spec with a thief flavor? I’d personally love to see a mass shadowstep for allies, much like how mesmers can mass invis. Or being able to swap places with an ally who’s wounded, either would keep with the thief theme of active use of skills ideally. Comments welcome

thief support yes please.

I wanted bard for elite spec

Scrap acro make traitline with DMG CONDI REMOVAL and survi trait that saves us from instadying.

I’m not sure about having a whole trait line revolving purely around team support, but thieves could use some more team support options overall. One thing we are missing is a nearby ally buffing trait like Empower Allies and Vampiric Presence. We could maybe have a trait called Larcenous Aura which makes yourself and effected allies steal a boon from targets that they strike, with a 10s ICD.

I had a thought while raiding yesterday. Why not make the buffs we get from dodging party wide? 10% flat damage/damage reduction for your whole party when you dodge would make for pretty good support, nor would it be hard to implement.

Pls anet
