but if its not elite they cant make it powerful :3

What does it really do is just cc? or a stun? is it like moa

[PonyCannon]

I'll agree it's powerful, I just think it's not elite. ^_^

I'm perfectly happy with thieves guild and dagger storm.

Heh, I am like totally opposite of you.

I'm the most satisfied with Basilisk Venom and don't really like Dagger Storm (Not the effect but the way it looks) and Thieves Guild (because I don't know WTF they do yet).

Blah I'm so bad at typing what I really mean to type. I wanted to know if they did anything special like apply conditions or just strait up damage.

I hate how Acrobatics improves boon duration, but the Thief has so many limited boons to self-apply. :S

Too bad thieves dont hide their identity so they kinda stick out. Would be cool to vanish and come back with 3 guys that look like you.

they need to turn it into the prince of persia/darksiders 2 trait line

Most useless tree prob should be revamped.... only has 1 good major trait and thats quick pockets
Or maybe its meant to assist with comboing support fields....

[PonyCannon]

Seems like a line designed mostly to compliment other lines since it's major traits seem to be pretty diverse in usefulness.

Also Combined Tactics seems like a pretty nice trait.

Many of the traits in it are actually good, I just hate that Concentration seems like such a useless attribute for Thieves.

Combined Tactics
Quick Pockets
Quick Recovery
Power of Inertia
Vigorous Recovery
Fleet Shadow

And others can be good too, depending on your skill selection and weapon choice.

Martial Agility
Master Trapper

Can you trait your self around never using steal?
Right now my spec works around steal and poisons but looking at acrobatics could it work?

You probably could, but imo, it'd be difficult. :S

Steal is kinda an important Thief mechanic.

But if your not comboing it with a trait that involves steal it could be a bit random at times...

[Glytch]

so far i dont have any traits for steal, doesnt mean i will never use it tho

[PonyCannon]

In the build I make I usually put at least 1 trait towards steal (the one that stealths you when you use it). Seems like an easy way to get a few bonuses even if you don't actually use the mechanics of it.

[DrakeWurrum]

I just wish Steal didn't have such a long CD...

Well you could take 30% off with trickery tree and i feel like it has the best minor traits.

30 points in Trickery will only reduce the CD to 31 seconds.

Combat feels long in this game i don't think 30 seconds is all that long, plus steal with traits is like having a extra utility abilities, cooldown seems appropriate for it.
Right now when i pop steal i get poison debuff,aoe blind, 3 initiative, and might fury swiftness buff for group. sounds quite op for 30sec cooldown

Aye. A lot of good stuff and probably a major reason to use steal other then just to shadowstep or slightly randomized item.

Though I think 45 seconds (thats the CD on it right?) might be a bit much on it.
