Guild Wars 2 Thief profession revealed
Players will have an opportunity to play the new build during its first public showing at PAX East
NCsoft and ArenaNet today revealed the details of the Thief, the sixth profession to be announced for Guild Wars 2, the upcoming flagship MMO.
As a master of stealth and surprise, the thief is deadly in single combat – particularly when catching enemies off guard. Thieves compensate for their relatively low armor and health by being quick and evasive. They can travel through the shadows, vanish into thin air, or steal items from their opponents and use them as weapons.
While other professions rely on a recharge rate for their weapon skills, in combat thieves rely on Initiative. Weapon skills cost Initiative points, but they have no recharge time, so thieves can use them back-to-back. Featured thief skills include Stealth, Shadow Stepping, Traps, and Dual Skills to name a few. As for weapons, thieves have a mixture of melee and ranged weapons including swords, daggers, pistols and a shortbow.
Gamers will have an opportunity to play the thief in ArenaNet’s brand-new Guild Wars 2 demo build at PAX East beginning March 11. Additional details will once again be posted on the official website in the near future.
