Guild Wars 2

Hello guys, im Thokir Deatbolt in the game, im maining a thief and i rolled a thief for the cause of the really nice skills and due to being the rogue, unfortunatly i got dissapointed by one thing, and that is that thief dont got offhand sword, however i trust arenanet to implent it once, and when i read that anet was going to give all weapons to all classes i tought oh god my prayers have been heard (XDD) So i tought, hey why not come with suggestions for arenanet to help them out implent my dream weapon

Offhand sword:

4. Swift parry (chain)
same mechanic as spear 3, but after you have blocked a skill instead of counter attacking you get aviable a blurry for a half second, blurry cost 2 iniative.
______________________________________________________________
5. Leap of shadows, leap to a targeted position (700 range), then be able to teleport back in a time frame of 10 seconds, 1200 range return, functions like portal not shadowtrap. (4 and 2 iniative)
_______________________________________________________________
Sword mainhand, would fit as a direct damage attacks, less focused on single target)

3. Deathly strikes (ment for making thief more viable in fighting groups)

Deals 75 % damage of hundred blades, 5 iniative increases with 1 iniative cost for using this skill after you used that, so this will encourage to use more skills, you cant like spam it becuse the you end up at 10 iniative cost like… no root, same duration as hb. (weaker version becuse it got no recharge and no root)
_________________________________________________________________
Pistol mainhand, would fit as a condtion set together with sword:
3. Dirty slash

Slash your foe, apply bleeding, then burn them with your pistol (5 iniative cost)
Gives thief more varity in their arsenal and makes thief more possible to run condtions.
_________________________________________________
Dagger mainhand:
(this would fit together with offhand sword as a moblity/moblity control weapon)

Daggerwire:
Trow your dagger into your foe attached to a wire, pulling them to you then slash them with your sword, (600 range) (6 iniative) (oh god make it aim on the head instead of feet ehe.
________________________________________________________________

Share your toughts, share it with your friends, and i hope you mods read this and take this in tought when you implent more weapons for thieves, i hope you enjoyed my ideas and comments would be really nice both from devs and players!: )

yeyeyey

One more? Okay let’s talk about it:
Skill 4

you get aviable a blurry for a half second, blurry cost 2 iniative.

You mean evade, like the mesmers blury right? Well pretty reasonable compared
with other classes blocks, but the ini cost is way too low.

Skill 5
Well this one is a little redundant if you play s/s, also it doesn’t really matter if it
works like the portal on such a short range.

Skill 3 Sword
So it’s a movable pistolwhip? Which means AoE retaliation kills you really fast
and with two times the same skill, a short block and AA there isn’t really
something special if you use S/S, so how about implementing something
extra to it? Like a blind? Dunno…

Skill 3 Pistol
Now it’s important to know how much bleed it inflicts, but another
semi ranged set is a little wierd imo, especially since this one has no backwards
teleport. Other than that this set sound ok, I guess, but it would at least need
one more condition to have the possibility of beeing a good set.

Skill 3 Dagger
Well there is a reason why thieves have so few cc skills, so i don’t know
if the would implement it, but other than that, why would you pull
your enemy to yourself if you can:
-Heartseeker too him.
-Leap too him.
Well at least it would be fun on Skyhammer, that is for sure.

In conclusion, I doubt that those skills won’t be more usefull than
allready existing ones, and therfore not used, but what do I know?

Skill 5 would be useful for closing gaps and do jumps that you cant jump, which you need rocketboots/rtl/faith leap/savage leaps and such, thief which is a moblity proffesion would need this.

Well, at skill 3 sword, we thieves are in deep need of hits which hits many hits in short time, due to damage scaling when you hit many hits, and this becomes our damage skill and i feel no root is enough to make up for having no addtional effect.

Pistol 3, Well we have no other sets than 1 with more than 2 condtions so that isnt that big of an issue, it would also incourage weaponswapping.

skill 3 dagger, well i tought it to be like a super moblity set, you can for example to nice combos like lets say you fight on two cliifs you jump to the other cliff and pull him down, you would be able to like jump across the field, control where you want your foes, easy to close gaps to and such.

Just to make up all the issues you said, but thanks

And btw that parry/blurry, you will have to block first to get the blurry, and the blurry is only a half second, usefull for dodging if you have zero endurance and a strong skill comes towards you.

Offhand Sword fits Ranger more than it fits Thief. Thief needs, in the following order:

Martial Staff
Claws
Whip
OH Light buff
MH Axe
OH Sword

I disargee competly, and claws and whip means they got to implent 42 new skins pr of them, and code many hundreds of weapons for impleting. And thief swashbuckler style would fit offhand sword. i think a lot would disargee that offhand sword swashbuckler/ shiro tagachi / ninja style would be a lot cooler than the things you linked.

Nah, I don’t think so. This isn’t WoW, it doesn’t really make a lot of sense for a Thief to fight with 2 swords. Thieves really shouldn’t get any ‘heavy’ weapons for their offhand, because it just makes the light weapon style very awkward (D/S? no). The weapons listed above would fit the Thief much better, and I’d be willing to bet the majority of Thief players would agree.

Would I complain necessarily Thieves getting it? I think it’d be silly if they got it and Rangers didn’t, but otherwise no I just think all professions need more weapon combos.

Also, a swashbuckler would use a Sword and a Buckler, not 2 Swords. Geez man.

Be realistic. OH Sword is a natural progression if any new skills are added. It’s a weapon we already have in MH, thus doubling it up isn’t that unnatural. Introducing martial staff means entirely new combat concepts have to be brought in (an immense amount of animation work to make it look in any way realistic due to the top-heavy nature of all of the current staves), I can’t see an Axe in any form being used, both claws and whip would have to be applied to other professions as well AND would require skins created from scratch (tons of them), as well as new legendary designs for those types. OH Light and OH Sword are the most likely above anything else.

And how would you know that a light MH and heavy OH would be awkward? A Sc/S Mesmer is far worse.

Im willing to bet against that majority of thieves will argee with you.
Im afraid working out new weapons will come loong after they have given competlu new weps to thieves. Dual swords would be god kitten nice.

sword thief is already barely credible (a sword, really?), dual swords is just silly

Warriors could use Scepters in GW1. Think of any totally insane combination, and GW1 allowed it.

Swords are medium size weapons, its like the heaviest thief shuld be able to wield, it could be like the warriors hammer the heaviest they can wield.
