Whatever it is, I can already see, QQ posts on Thursday when they post the blog and more QQ posts on Friday when they do a stream of it. Hell, it might even start on Monday when they see the picture/art. (Whenever that is.)

It’s going to be delicious…

I think thieves will get more mobility.
I also think that they will get mesmer-like abilities.

My guess is we may get shadow clones and we may be able to swap place with them.
Imagine, you send a clone to the target, swap with it and finish in close combat.
OR you start with melee, summon a clone away (somehow), swap with it and you can retreat.
Whenever someone figures which is the real you, you swap with a clone and the guess game restarts.

It would be AWESOME (I think… maybe)

While professions are indeed getting bits and pieces of other profession, no one copied the signature mechanic of the other. Guardians didn’t get a pet. Necros didn’t get adrenaline. Mesmers didn’t get death shroud.

So it’s pretty unlikely we’ll get clones, virtues, toolbelt skills or attunements. The skills taken from other prof will be utilities only.

mesmers got wells, guardian got traps, necros got shouts, and as a mesmer you can get clones from utilities though

As a thief you can get initiative from utilities, but it’s still our class mechanic. Same with clones, I’m sure no one will get them.

Exilirs? Hmm. My hylek-friended venom thief is intrigued.

I should be writing.
