just do not expect thieves to get buffes any time soon. Anet prefers other classes way more

Thief gets nothing new with Elite

the only thing that i dislike the most is that we don’t get proper grandmaster traits. since it is said that the new class mechanic are the new dodges… but where are our grandmasters then? this is actually the thing that bugged me the most. also i wouldn’t mind getting slighty different items through steal from the classes.

but the DD traitline is okay. what we have to address is acrobatics wich is useless for a long time now. critical strikes could use a little bit more love aswell. but at least CS is decent for PvE

Lead Attacks could do something like “Autoattacks build up stacks on opponent. Next skill that uses initiative removes these stacks to deal extra damage based on stacks” (maybe max 5 stacks, every stack increases damage by 2%?)

or maybe initiative skills build up stacks and using steal on that target removes stacks to give initiative based on stacks. i dunno

EDIT: in general the only thing i miss is giving every traitline a general direction of what it wants to do. CS should be mandatory in power builds, DA in condi builds, trickery should focus on the thief mechanics (steal/initiative), acrobatics and shadow arts should be the choice for being defensive.

i know it wouldn’t change too much about builds but in a perfect world you could choose to go power wich locks CS and then you can decide between SA or acro for defensive builds. trickery would be locked in my opinion. unless you want to be cele thief (lol) wich lets you swap trickery for DA
