Watch your shiro get reckt by thieves and rage quit and back to your thief.
That’s really up to the skill of the player. You win some you lose some. You learn, adapt, try new builds and move on.
My main in GW1 was an Assassin/x. When GW2 came out, I was hoping to play my sin again but the closest thing at the time was Thief, so that became my main.
So now we have Shiro, the Assassin character I was looking for. Ty, Anet.
I know I’m going to miss out on stealth, blinds, bv , steal and the holy bp – hs combo. I’m ok with trying something else for now.
not always down to skill tbh, proffession can turn the tides there, natural counters are on all proffessions it just depends on which one will counter the other to who has the advantage if u ever got stuck 1v1ing one another,
Looking at shiro itself it looks very strong, but unless ur going to either run half healing with the staff which will lower ur damage output and depend how good the healing really is while traited into damage or go hammer which is pretty slow and didnt prove to be worth alot of damage for a ranged option which by speculation the shortbow on the thief wil be stronger then naturally.
your realistically going to only have 1 weapon which will directly fight against a thief, rev has proven to be very squishy as a proffession so u wont even have the heavy armour to rely on when it comes to fighting either so u’ll be even squisher now ur delving into Zerker builds to maximise the damage in the new Assassins Set up.
Not to mention, u really want to puit urself 100% behind only ONE specific aspect which gives u assassin feeling play? it isnt a elite specialization Where the obvious meta will be on its launch, this Shiro specc could be permanantly at the bottom of the tier list for all u know, Anet have never been great at making EVERY Set up work for the proffessions what makes u suddenly have THIS much faith this Legend will be that viable in the Final results?
Shiro looks amazing, but no matter What set up im using thief Feels like a Assassin… i play proffessions to enjoy EVERY set up it has, Relying on 1 is just going to force u to either reroll or Constantly Put ur teams and urself at a handicap from the start off

im just responding to people who say revenant is so much better and kill thief for breakfast, thief dead, rev strong, nerv please.
dont worry, when the first 6 months are up and these new things are no longer new the meta will get changed, if it goes Condi sided Shiro will become useless where thief has D/D then we’ll just read them QQing over the fact this “amazing” new thing is no longer usuable.
Centring urself around 1 Specific thing in a proffession is never a wise thing, Metas change Nerfs happens things get broken, U need to love EVERYTHING in ur main proffession to really have a chance at sticking
If u love their Condi bunker Power Celestial and Hybrid Set ups then yes role one its clearly for u, but if ur just running into the class for 1 specific weapon set? Prepare to be rerolling shortly after… it just wont add up for them.
