Either the one that balances thieves doesn’t have a clue or the new elite specialization has abilities/bonuses that require them to “balance” things as we see them now.
I.e., if we get rifle, then it may be a 1200 range, little-to-no stealth build.
I’m guessing it’s more the former than the latter.
Again, Anet reveals how out of touch they are with their own game.
Thief is going to get garbage for their “balancing”. Played since beta, and that’s basically SOP.
Does Anet have anyone that actually plays a thief?
Ah, elitist holier-than-thou types. Thanks for the laughs.
Isn’t one trait line being replaced reflecting the new weapon line addition? Getting rifle would likely mean the removal of SA.
