Guild Wars 2

My view of a thief spec is an “Iñigo Montoya style fighting” based on classic fencing style.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_European_martial_arts. Focused in stances and initiative management. New Skills stances.

Weapon-> Shield (Buckler)

5, Weakness to target and grants aegis

I’m guessing english isn’t your native language. What is this power you keep referring to? Surely you don’t mean the stat? Because that would be underwhelming. You mean Might, right?

The weapon skills on shield are a bit underwhelming, you might consider making them a bit stronger. Like adding another boon to S5 or make S4 do some damage too, or make it stun instead of daze.

Vigorous Attitude is kinda underwhelming, though I suppose it could work with a P/Sh combination. But 1st they would have to buff MH pistol skills for it to be viable at all.

Offensive Attitude: the standard for this trait is 15%. But this would still be a huge DPS boost for D/P thieves which I don’t see happening.
Defensive Attitude: You can just make it a flat, unconditional damage reduction, no need to complicate it.

Yes edit.

Is only a concept. I think that CD0 stun will be OP. But yes, dmg in S4 will be ok.

Vigorous Attitude is kinda underwhelming, though I suppose it could work with a P/Sh combination. But 1st they would have to buff MH pistol skills for it to be viable at all.

mmm I dont think so. Main damage in P is with Unload or Stealth Attack, with p/sh you can spam body shot?

I was thinking to boost Sword AA, but yes, in D/P maybe op.

Defensive Attitude: You can just make it a flat, unconditional damage reduction, no need to complicate it.

That would be annoying but not really effective as Body Shot doesn’t do a whole lot of damage. Hence why I said they need to boost MH pistol damage for this to be viable. And stealth attack doesn’t work well here because there’s no reliable way to stealth up. With a build like this you would be kitten annoying but you couldn’t kill anything. I’m looking at this from a PvP standpoint btw.

(And Daredevils would screw you up in major ways.. Immunity to Immob and all that)

My main idea is lose the mobility of DD but increase the One vs One role. In sPvP will be worst decap or +1, but excels in 1vs1
