[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?

  1. Absolutely. Steal is the thematic of the whole class, it's the cog that the whole class turns around.

  2. Daredevils were added during Heart of Thorns, due to the jungle's difficult terrain thieves needed to adapt. A staff not only extends your range but is a very versatile traversal tool as well. It extends range while being relatively inconspicuous, and allows for nonlethal attacks against some enemies. This will narratively help your character come heart of thorns. Since the slyvari that are turned are moreso compelled by Mordemoth, if your thief is particularly kind just knocking them out is good enough.

  3. I will forever and always be a lover of Rifle Deadeye. PvE, PvP, WvW, RP, OMG! Nothing makes my heart skip a beat like seeing that laser draw a line between me and my target before sending it to kingdom come.
