Guild Wars 2 designer introduces the Thief profession

Now that Guild Wars 2's Thief profession has been revealed, there are only two left unannounced. That'll come soon enough, but for now developer ArenaNet and publisher NCSoft are keeping the focus on Thieves and what they bring to the table.

 

Speaking with Games On Net, Guild Wars 2 lead designer Eric Flannum explained that Thieves are quite different from Assassins in many key areas. Thieves, for one, are more versatile. Where Assassins are focused on dealing as much damagae as possible on an enemy, Thieves provide a wider array of skills that let them deal damage, support their allies, and even control mobs with their speed and movement skills. Here'a a video showing a few of these skills:

 

 

 

Flannum also added that unlike Assassins who chain skills and end an attack with a big finishing move, Thieves will be better suited to quickly retreating to safety after dealing damage. The wide array of skills end up making the Thief profession a bit harder to master, but that doesn't mean choosing any of the other professions will result in the game being a cakewalk.

 

"It is very true that the thief requires a somewhat higher degree of skill to play than some of the other professions," said Flannum. "We did design certain professions to be easier to play than others although we never want this gap to be too significant. In particular the warrior, ranger and elementalist tend to be more straightforward to play than the other professions although even the 'simple' professions have a lot of depth and nuance to them."

 

Guild Wars 2 remains without a hard release date but a closed beta phase is being planned for this year.

Damn that trailer looks great. If the gameplay actually looks like that I'd get hooked on this for sure.
