They would never make a specialisation that doesn’t fit at least one mode name are just names, thief couldn’t have gotten traps because we already have them and they will be better after traits changes. Since it’s supposed to be a mix, with thief rifle I expect thief+war.

We’ll get rifle and shouts!

“BOOM! HEADSHOT”-Increase next ranged stealth attack damage by 50%

“NO-SCOOOOOOOOPE”-+50% Crit Chance for 7 seconds

“GET REKT!”-Crit hits apply 1 stack of vulnerability (10 seconds) for the next 10 seconds (no icd). Break stun

“Come at me bro!”- Taunt up to 3 enemies for 3 seconds

I think those would be sufficiently troll-y enough and fitting for the thief.

thieves are already most hated class lol i don’t think they need more help in that department~

We need to get to the point were people will just rage quit when they see us.

that is already the case when you get 4 thieves on team in ranked xD

Do you mean that the 5th on your team quits? ;P

Reminds me of warmaster. Rifle and Banner for major support.

Rifle and Gadgets or Kits would be sabotager

Greatsword could work. once you spec into it you can not swap. But when you hit the swap weapon button you change stances that flip your 5 attacks between them. One could be defensive the other offensive or mix it up. Could add traits to change what the stances do. Buy your katanas now thieves!

A greatsword wouldn’t work for a class that focuses on stealing and stealth.

More than likely it’ll be a rifle for long range assassinations, but isn’t the Warrior’s F1 with a rifle essentially that?

Yeah Im not fully interested in the weapon so to speak but the utilities and new mechanics that come with the elite.

If its rifle and is a sniper mentality, then I probably wont use it myself. I like the high mobility idea of thief as it stands now especially with SB.

While we have no range, we have the best gap closers in game making us technically ranged.

Since necro got shouts, which the new Reaper looks pretty awesome, Im more interested in where they are going to go with thieves in utilities and traits of the elite.

Also, it probably won’t be named sniper. Something like “Marksman”…. sniper is too modern.

Sniper is not a modern term, look up its etymology.

I also doubt it would be Marksman, since Ranger already has a trait line named Marksmanship.

My bet is Thief gets mace.

If it’s another melee weapon, I hope its axe. Mace in this game is generally slow on the attack, while axe seems like a faster hitting weapon no matter the class it’s on.

Mace/mace like the WoW rogues, specializing in multiple chain CC and control.

I’m going out on a limb and speculating the thief specialization will be an empty offhand duelist type style. The two empty off-hand skills could be universal, while the dual-skill would be main hand specific, though probably not the current single wield skills. The class mechanic could let Steal alter the off-hand skills in some way (maybe steal permanent moves which change depending on who you steal from).

I personally believe that we will get one of the two utilities for our next specialization:

If we get a off-hand weapons (sword, axe, mace) I believe we will get physical attacks. Since we are going against some pretty powerful foes it would not hurt to use some dirty tactics to put the odds in our favor. Hopefully we will have lower CD’s than the warriors Physical attacks, and they could pull ideas for the GW1 Assassin, such as Temple Strike and Palm Strike.

If its a Rifle,( this could also work for off-hand weapons too) I think stances would fit nicely. I would imagine that the rifle would have close to no mobility on it, in exchange for medium-high dps from long range. To help make up for this, stances could help boost our mobility and/or give us a boost in our attack so we can hit harder.
