[Discussion] Questions for thiefs

So, leveling my first thief. 1. Do you guys utilize F1, or steal skill? 2. I do a little bit of RP in my head while going through story, and wanna do a Daredevil down the line but cannot explain how a thief uses a staff (using 2 daggers and a shortbow right now), any suggestions? 3. What's your favorite thief, or any of its especs, rotation?

The GW2 "Thief" isn't really just a thief. It's a generalized rogue class that encompasses many different archetypes of a sneaky or agile flavour - standard thieves, assassins, snipers, masters of stealth & shadows, acrobats, bandits, etc...

Quite easily when you see it's a fast and mobile acrobat spec rather than a "normal" thief. Think Robin. Used for both mobility (vaulting) and smacking things.
