Thief
Experts at stealth and surprise, thieves can move through the shadows, vanish into thin air, or steal items from their opponents and use them as weapons. Thieves practice an agile, acrobatic fighting style, which can make them very hard to hit.
Experts as stealth? I think we are just able to stealth
move through the shadows? 1200 range? with cast time?
vanish into thin air? I think we are vanish and became ash under fire!
steal items from opponents? we get an item but my opponents lose nothing!
practice an agile, acrobatic fighting style? shadowstep with cast time mean I’m agile?
Initiative
To power their attacks, thieves rely on a resource called initiative, which regenerates over time. Weapon skills cost initiative points, but they have no recharge time, so thieves can use them back-to-back. This allows thieves to stay flexible and responsive in combat and unleash a rapid flurry of powerful attacks.
We may have a maximum 15 initiative, and a maximum 1.3/s regen with trait
we can use skill back-to-back,but not even one more,
flexible?We have 2 weapon set with only 15 initiative, but other class have 2 weapon with every skill separately CD. I don’t see we are more flexible
rapid flurry of powerful attack? I see rapid attack that burn up our initiavtive, but not powerful.
Steal
Thieves use the Steal skill to create useful weapons based on the opponents they’re fighting at the time. For instance, when thieves steal from moa birds, they might get feathers that they can throw to blind their enemies. Stealing does not break stealth, and cannot be used often.
we use steal skill to create weapons, not useful weapon
Dual Skills
When using a main-hand and off-hand weapon combination, thieves have access to a spectacular Dual Skill that is determined by their weapons. For example, thieves with two daggers will receive the Leaping Death Blossom skill, but thieves with a dagger/pistol combo will receive Shadow Shot, which allows them to teleport to their target.
just a special skill, and cost us another trait to make it more powerful, or it’s just a piece of sh!!!t
Special Skills
Thieves make use of a wide range of skills, including Stealth skills and Shadow Stepping.
Stealth Skills
Thieves have access to skills that allow them to enter stealth mode, which renders them invisible to enemies. When in stealth, their first weapon skill slot is replaced by a powerful stealth skill. For instance, when thieves equipped with daggers enter stealth, they receive a skill called Backstab, which does more damage when thieves strike from behind.
I don’t see Backstab is so powerful, with that f****ng range and low damage
If we can damage a full armor Guardian 50%HP, I’ll said it’s powerful.
Don’t forget, they can regen, much faster than we make damage.
Shadow Step
With Shadow Step, thieves can teleport into the battle or away from danger. Thieves may only teleport where normal movement is possible and may not use it to teleport through a gate or other blocking area.
Yes Yes, We can teleport in to the battle,,away from danger..I’m in danger and I still need 1.5s to shadowstep away!! What do you think it may happen in 1.5s
As a conclusion,
Are Thieves good in rapid flurry powerful attack? No!!!
Are Thieves Expert of stealth? We are able to stealth but not Expert!!
Are Thieves agile? No!! We need 1.5s cast time to get away from danger!!!
Are Thieves Expert of surprise?? I’m sure!!
