Hullo there fellow Thieves,

In media res

Sword lacks Combo Finishers! Or rather there are no combo finishers on any Sword skill available to the Thief!

Please check the list below and see for yourself!

Combo finishers on every Thief weapon-set as in the game:

S/D
No.4 Skill Dancing Dagger: Physical Projectile

S/P
No.4 Skill Head Shot: Physical Projectile
No.5 Skill Shadow Shot: Physical Projectile

D/D
No.2 Skill Heartseeker: Leap
No.3 Skill Leaping Death Blossom: Whirl
No.4 Skill Dancing Dagger: Physical Projectile

D/P
No.2 Skill Heartseeker: Leap
No.3 Skill Shadow Shot: Physical Projectile
No.4 Skill Head Shot: Physical Projectile
No.5 Skill Shadow Shot: Physical Projectile

P/D
No.1 Skill Vital Shot/Sneak Attack: Physical Projectile
No.2 Skill Body Shot: Physical Projectile
No.4 Skill Dancing Dagger: Physical Projectile

P/P
No.1 Skill Vital Shot/Sneak Attack: Physical Projectile
No.2 Skill Body Shot: Physical Projectile
No.3 Skill Unload: Physical Projectile
No.4 Skill Head Shot: Physical Projectile
No.5 Skill Shadow Shot: Physical Projectile

SB
No.1 Skill Trick Shot/Surprise Shot: Physical Projectile
No.2 Skill Cluster Bomb: Blast
No.3 Skill Disabling Shot: Physical Projectile

(I apologize for possible mistakes!)

Both Dagger and Pistol provide two combo finishers when held in the main hand. Sword doesn’t have any combo finishers in its main hand skill palette … Sword has access only to combo finishers provided by weapons wielded in the off-hand!

What are your thoughts?

Do you think they should add combo finishers to the Sword?
(If not, what is the reason not to?)

Toodles!

In my opinion: no. None of the sword skills, either main-hand or dual, are projectiles, blasts, leaps or whirls. The only possibility I see where a combo finisher would be appropriate would be if Flanking Strike were redesigned to be a leap, perhaps a whirl – personally, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Besides, sword have the advantage of being able to hit three targets in melee, and swinging in a wider arc: I’d say that and Infiltrator’s Strike are a pretty good trade-off for the lack of combo finishers.
