We need another Off-hand.

I’ve already put my vote in for torch, a less sneaky condition damage offhand, though offhand sword could be a decent idea as well.

Also fully on board for rifle, all aboard the weapon train! WHOOT!

This. I’d much rather have a torch offhand than a rifle for thieves. Sniper rifle is already taken by warriors anyways.

I wouldn’t know what to use a torch for, I have enough close range weapons, but that’s more personal preference. The rifle would give the thief a more legitimate ranged attack for precise strikes. As for the warrior, they have rapid fire rifle skills and an aimed shot, but their rifle handling is more akin to a regular soldier than a sniper.

Myself and many thieves (and players of other classes) I know seem to think it would be a good idea to allow thieves the use of rifles for sneaky, long-ranged combat. The abilities would likely be something akin to sniper skills, and I believe most would need to root the thief in place (as in a sniper lining up a shot) and perhaps one stealth ability that would allow movement. I’m interested to see the opinions of other players and maybe a few devs if I’m lucky.
