Guild Wars 2

If someone asked you to define a thief what would you say in 144 chars or less? Now I know its a fantasy game and not meant to be real life but play a long.

My definition – A Criminal, someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goal. No morals or ethics. A bad guy. A outlaw.

So what does that mean then for a game where you play a thief?

In my mind it should be a VERY high risk, high reward class.
In and out.
If you miss you pay the price.

Land your chain and take out a foe in 3-4 hits max.
You take their chain and you die fast.
You miss you die or run your kitten off.

“Out like a thief in the night” so to say.

I really don’t care about cooldowns. If someone knows I am in the area then I should be at a disadvantage IMO. A theif should never be engaged in a battle one on one with someone for very long. It should be over quickly. Win or lose.

In a huge battle a Thief IMO should pick off people that are doing long range weapons.

A thief, IMO, only has stealth to rely on. Once spotted they are in deep crap.

I am really trying hard not to get to specific but I feel like the class is doing down a dangerous road that doesn’t meet my personal definition of a thief.

Anyway how would you define a thief and do you feel our class is meeting your definition?

My thief is a hero not a criminal. He is born into nobility and recognized as honorable. He’s a good guy and part of society.

But that doesn’t mean he can’t dress in black at night and hunts bad guys.

yeah!!!!

I’d like the thief more to be a control character.
