The Thief, the stealthy assassin type profession in Guild Wars 2, was introduced in two parts. The first was a simple press release followed by an in-depth look on the official site (although it was somewhat hard to find for some fans). The detailed write-up let us in on something very interesting, and worth taking note of. The Thief is a profession capable of extreme burst damage and seems to be propped up to be a little bit different than others.
