This week, the specialization of the Thief class from Guild Wars 2 will be revealed, and an initial image is fueling speculation.
The Melee Staff Ninja
With the upcoming expansion Heart of Thorns, all classes in Guild Wars 2 are receiving what is called an Elite Specialization. While in recent weeks the Warrior with its specialization in the form of the Berserker has been revealed, a message on Twitter now suggests that this week it will be about the Thief. As usual, there is also an initial graphic that we, of course, do not want to withhold from you:
Unlike previous images, the community here is rather divided, and the reactions are mixed. Many players believe that a staff does not fit the Thief and that ArenaNet is almost arbitrarily giving new weapons to all classes. On the other hand, it is defended that a combat staff has something very traditional about it and would be a cool addition to the existing selection. How interesting the Elite Specialization really is, we will probably only be able to assess with the full announcement.
