Hello everyone,
I would like to present a concept idea for a rifle-based skill set for Thieves that I came up with. Feel free to leave constructive feedback
Please do not flame.
If you are interested, here’s my ideas I’ve come up with for Elementalist so far as well!
Elementalist Rifle (formerly pistols) Concept
Elementalist Hammer Concept
Thief Rifle Concept;
Archetype: Sniper, long-range assassin.
Quick info: All skills are 1200 range by default unless otherwise specified.
Explanation:
This weapon set is designed to fill several niches that are not currently present for Thieves. They lack a long range weapon (shortbow/pistols are the limit, with only 900 range), they lack ranged conditions, and they lack a ranged whammy skill. However, to preserve some of the more critical features of the other ranged weapons, this one will have only a single AoE skill in the form of a piercing shot.
1 – War Ender: (Stealth skill, 3s channel time) The rogue scopes down the target, at the end of the channel – a powerful shot is fired which penetrates all enemies in a line to the target, inflicting high damage. This skill automatically reveals the Thief upon activation. Cannot move while channeling.
1 – Clip: (.5s cast time) Deal damage to the target, deal 50% more damage if the target is bleeding.
2 – Wounded Prey: (2 init, .75s cast time) Shoot the target for low damage, inflict 1 stack of bleeding (8s). If the target is bleeding, this will also inflict 1 stack of torment (5s).
3 – Sitting Duck: (3 init, .5s cast time) Strike the enemy for moderate damage. Inflict more stacks of bleeding (8s) the farther away the enemy is. <100 range = 1 stack, 1200 range = 5 stacks
4 – Leveler: (4 init, .5s cast time) The target is knocked back 200 range, taking minor damage but suffering from 2 stacks of bleeding (12s).
5 – Reload: (6 init, self) The thief immediately goes into stealth (5s), gaining Quickness (4s)
