Got really bored today so I thought I would try to come up with utility skills and traits to replace traps. Not completely done yet, just a draft, but I wanted to know if you guys thought it could be on the right track. I was going to call them Feats but I’ll change it for a better name.
Utility Skills:
Skill #1 Skillful Timing
You have mastered the art of flexibility and acrobatics.
Version #1
When active every successful dodge for the next 10 seconds remove a condition. Only 1 condition per second per successful dodge. 60 CD
Version #2
When activated grants 5 charges, a charge is used with every successful dodge and removes a condition. Does not use a charge if there are no conditions to cleanse. Duration of charges 40 seconds, 60 CD.
I don’t know which one would be better to use. Up for suggestions and changes to this skill, I don’t know if increasing the duration for #1 would be OP considering the amount of dodges a thief can get with Felice Grace and vigor.
Skill #2 Stalker
You have master the art of stalking your target.
When activated target, enemy gains debuff “Cannot Hide”. “Cannot Hide” gives target enemy revealed for 5 seconds and inflict 10 stacks of vulnerability for 10 seconds. CD 45 seconds.
I thought this would be a good support skill in group fights so a group could burst down an enemy faster. Kinda like Warriors “On My Mark!” but with a 15 second longer CD because of revealed.
Skill #3 Fear The Unknown
You have mastered the art of psychological manipulation.
Cloak yourself in darkness (Can still be seen) and strike fear into your enemies in a 600 radius. Fear duration 1.5 seconds. CD 30 seconds.
I thought the thief could use a little CC love… :P
Skill #4
I’ll think of one soon…
Elite Dagger Storm
You have mastered the art of balance
.
The elite skill would just be to add Dagger Storm to this category so it can be affected by traits.
Traits:
I was thinking these two traits would be in the acrobatics traitline.
Trait #1 Benefits of Mastering – Master Trait
Reduce all Feat CDs by 20%
Trait #2 All Knowing – Grandmaster Trait
Skillful Timing – Removes an additional condition every other dodge.
Stalker – Also inflicts cripple for 7 seconds.
Fear The Unknown – Also inflicts two stacks of torment for 5 seconds.
Dagger Storm – Now a stun breaker OR grants 4 seconds of stability after channel.
Let me know what you guys think. I could be blinded by my love for the thief class and not see how OP these utilities are. So let me know if anything should be changed or thrown away!
