My biggest issue is that I am feeling forced to trait into Trickery just to get Bountiful Theft; I also currently do not use weapon combos with an innate chance to evade. Vigor was not so essential with the old Feline Grace mechanic so I will need to put more thought into my play to maintain it. I am however quite jealous of the following traits which are arguably better than our current options:

Engineer
Adrenal Implant: Endurance regeneration is increased by 50%.
Invigorating Speed: When you gain swiftness you also gain 6s of vigor. This trait has a 5 second internal cooldown.
Optimized Activation: Using a toolbelt skill grants 2s of vigor.

Ranger
Natural Vigor: Increases your endurance regeneration by 20%.
Primal Reflexes: When you successfully evade an attack gain 5s of Vigor. This trait has a 8 second internal cooldown.

Guardian
Purity of Body: Your virtue of resolve passive effect also regenerates endurance by 15%.
Vigorous Precision: Gain 5 seconds of vigor when you deliver a critical hit. This effect has a 10 second internal cooldown.

Elementalist
Renewing Stamina: Gain vigor when you deliver a critical hit. This effect has a 5 second internal cooldown.

Mesmer
Critical Infusion: Gain vigor for 5s when you critical hit.

That being said, I am definitely happy with the change to Hard to Catch – this with the Signet of Agility will still give me the chance to get some vigor from evading.
