Scythes for thieves :D
I would like to see also ! +1 considering i had a dervish in gw1 i am a huge fan of scythe
Whatever class can use a scythe ill reroll instantly lol. Thief would be really cool, but Id rather have it on my necro.

I figured it would be a necro centric weapon but if any two classes could use it I would think these two
When it makes it in, the scythe will be a war, nec, mes weapon… that’s my prediction.

Okay if warrior gets scythe and not thief, that will be the mark to make me quit this game

Skythe warrior makes no sense.anyway . Skythe is for fast atacks . They dont have choice.to give.us.a.cleave weapon anyway …. we are.useless.in zergs
I’m still wishing they give rifles to thief so we can use it like a sniper. Slow but hurts like a mother!
80 Thief (Noir Blackknife)
23 Guardian (Krystier Xlll)
since thieves essentially are assassin/ninja archetypes, and it will be the quickest two handed melee weapon.
What does scythe have in common with ninja or assassins? Are you sure you are not thinking about kama (which is pretty much japanese sicle)?

And Guardian. Cause Dervishes from GW1 ;-)
Skythe is for fast atacks .
Scythe is slow, polearm type weapon.

Withing contexts of the game, how one uses a scythe really doesn’t matter, I mean:

and

examples of fast scythe usage or ninja scything in gaming. Literally went to youtube for like 2 seconds and found these :p
GW1 dervish was definitely not slow with scythe as they incorporate the dance form into combat attacks and whirl with high speed. A very fun profession to play.
900 range leap for 3 ini, stealth for 2 ini, block, spike damage, condition damage, immob, blind, condition stripping, blinding, knock back, …
sounds like the most op weapon set I’ve ever seen. well done, sir!
Scythe doesn’t seem very thiefy to me. It lacks a certain subtlety. It’s a big too one ended to be elegant. Pretty to look up, but a bit too over aggressive on the swing in use.
Maybe they could give us daggers that look like the midget ninja 1 handed scythe things. Sickles. Whatever. I mean, the tiny sickle. Not midget ninjas.

Whoops, I was thinking about DD for a second, I meant to use HS’s range :p, and the stealth isnt for 2 initiative only, you have to enter the block first, which costs 4 good sir, but I do admit, a near spammable knockback is OP…hmmm
Yeah… I figured I’d find some kind of Ninja Gaiden kitten in a thread like this.
Scythes are flashy, using a farmers tool as a weapon of war. They’re big, clumsy weapons that do not fit in the style of a Tyrian assassin. While thieves are showy in their acrobatics, glamor belongs to the mesmers and necromancers (to whom a scythe is a staff – ’nuff said).

All thieves are not assassins. My thief hasn’t assassinated anything in like 7 months. He’s very loud and flashy, and uses stealth to res people or when he steals it.
That said, I’m all for every class having access to a unique spin on every weapon. I’d like to use scepters and staves as melee weapons, or grab a nice thin greatsword with some AoE stealth attack action. Warrior daggers with a lot of kicking/punching/headbutting attacks, Dual pistol mesmers, and shield necros to get back old school minion walls while we’re at it.

I would really like to see a Scythe for the thief…
It would certainly add much needed weapon diversity…
Sythe should be a Necro and Thief only weapon, that would be really great…
Anet had to nerf MTSC Assassins so they may not give us Scythes again for fear of our epic PvE reaping. :o
lol as much as i want to see this …. this is a lame idea for a new wep set for classes to use ! a normal long range wep like a spear for melee combat would add diversity to the game .
{ idk what the range would be but longer than the great sword! }
but it seems like this forum really is just for the people who love the look of a scythe.
i mean thats y the necro has that black thing that comes out of the staff to make any staff look like a scythe when a necro uses it ! ………….. but to be honest i love the idea of added new weapon combos! new weapon sets! and character classes to change up the game
What SHOULD happen is staves for thieves, and then you can just skin scythes onto them. Just saying.
stave is that not the same as a staff ?
Staves is just the plural of staff. The word “staffs” does not exist.

a la ken-do? :P

I’d love to see any sort of 2h melee weapon on thieves, I feel like they would make great evade/block based sets (I love acro builds). Be it a scythe, greatsword or staff, I dont mind
Holy crap this got revived? Well I may as well add the necro version, enjoy

weakest weapon in the game for thief….if it were real. dmg is really low. even lower than guardian id say. id have to check tho.
Sniping Rifle thief > wtfbbq scythe thief
Another good Idea! And Kaizer made me want scythes even more with that pic! X3

This is like… a mix between the spear and the d/d kit… But it’s a nice idea. If we can’t have scythes, I wish they’d give us kama’s instead :x

Makes me think of gw1
I used to run a scythe on my assassin in random arena’s and gvg
I could literally 1v5 or kill the guild lord on my own. There is still a vid of it somwere
As a former Assassin/Dervish, I approve of this suggestion. ^^
