Hey guys. Here’s what I think would be an awesome specialization for thief. Axe.
Now I know that Axe is not the first weapon that comes to mind when thinking of any sort of thief/assassin/sneaky class but after talking to a friend, I really got hooked on this idea: The shadow berserker.

The shadow berserker is a merciless fighter. He uses his brutal axe attacks and the dark arts of shadows to strike fear in the hearts of his enemies. At first his attacks seem pretty slow but the longer he fights the more relentless he gets dismembering his enemies in the blink of an eye.
U’ll notice a new condition: deep wound. It was a condition in Guild Wars. I think it would be a great addition to Guild Wars 2. It basically reduces the maximum hp of your enemy by 20% for a certain amount of time.

Its gonna be focus thief mainhand. Everyone know it. And for warrior it gonna be warhorn mainhand for dualwield warhorn. Ranger gonna be able to dual wield LB, ele gonna get a GS. Necro will get shield mainhand and offhand. Mesmer gonna get shortbow. Gourde gonna get a shortbow. And finally, double torch engi.

It is confirmed in the interview I got with Travis from Anet. Those weapon where the one that fitted the most with each class. So please STOP THOSE THREAD. It pollutes and should be signaled as spam kkthxbai.

#Klonk … i really hope you are trolling, either that or you are way too wrong.

In the expansion, Rangers gonna get the Staff as a weapon, sort of druid-like thingy
and the necromancers are gonna use that big bam(didn’t mean bam…if you know what i mean xD ) greatsword ( if i remember corectly)

And actually axe on a thief wouldn’t be much o a surprise, we’re not talking about a dual welding axe, but a one handed one…instead of a dagger, i was thinking about this too.

I obviously troll. But im kinda tired to see those post honestly. I rather thinking about some change to traits that doesnt work rather than possible weapon for each class!

I can’t believe anyone even had to ask. I do officially want dual longbows now though. I’ll use the second one with my feet. Also, tri-wielded greatswords. You can guess where the third one goes.

I love me some Axes (my bonkin’ stick at work is a PVC bearded haft-and-a-half) but Thief ain’t where me axes should be axin’ the axe-less faced Mobbies.

On a serious note, way too much power in your 2, Cheap Spammable Blast and stuns are a no-no. Also you forgot the ‘No Offhand’ ability. Chill isn’t a Thief condition really, we only have a utility for it. Spammable Superspeed is a no as well.

And Deep Wounds I really don’t care to see return as we don’t have a relatively uniform health pool across classes.
