So you get a lot of people who say things like there’s no such thing as a support thief. We’ve actually developed so many different kinds of support thieves, because support isn’t always what you think it is. A support thief doesn’t sit around healing people, but we have all those skills that make you do double speed stuff. So there’s a haste on the thief, and Quickening Zephyr, or Frenzy, and we’ve consolidated all of those into a single buff called Quickness so that everyone knows that those skills grant quickness, and that’s what it does.
Everyone was using quickness to do damage and stuff, but then all of the sudden in PvP someone figured out that they could use quickness to stomp someone and do the finishing move. Then it was like you couldn’t rez through the stomps anymore because once they got you down they’d use quickness and do a double-speed stomp.
So then to counter that, people are haste-rezzing so that they can double their rez speed. Some of that stuff we hadn’t even considered, but it’s created these cool builds where thieves are really good at rezzing because they’ve got haste, and they can cloak. So they can cloak so you can’t see them, then hit haste so they’re rezzing super-fast but you don’t even know that they’re there.
