Guild Wars 2

Thief Trait idea, I figured I would spread my ideas more around the forums to classes I play.

Critical Strikes:
Tier: Master Type: Major

Hide and Stab
Your next Cloak and Dagger costs no initiative and restores 4 initiative if it critically hits. (18 second internal cool-down.)

This buff refreshes itself every 18 seconds and lasts 24h.

A nice idea, but Anet doesn’t really make traits overly specific to certain specific skills. Traits tend to go towards a whole slot of weapon skills, a family of utility skills or sometimes the profession mechanic skills. An individual weapon skill wouldn’t likely be traited, since it excludes any build that uses offhand pistol over dagger and whatnot.

Sorry but I don’t like to restrict traits and that isn’t true.

Soul Reaping
Unyielding Blast – Life Blast pierces and causes vulnerability.

Spite
Reaper’s Might – Life Blast grants might for 15 seconds.

This is a very specific ability.

It just isn’t something they do a lot.

Well Daecollo I will admit that you are right, and of course formerly maining a necro, I know all about life blast. It’s also the autoattack for Death Shroud, making deciding to create traits for it easier than a skill one can use in a more limited fashion, whether cooldowns or initiative.

As usual your suggestion is stupidly overpowered and not even close to something that Anet would take seriously.

Come on man, I swear you make these just to troll people.
