I more of mean the feel and style of thief staff vs revenant staff, and yeah thief staff would probably be more offensive rather than defensive/supportive but... the skills staff rev has that do damage seem to be a thief-like style which is my worry about them being too similar, that thief will just be more offense based with a very similar feel (and imo if the only difference is one does more damage that’s...not much of a difference style-wise)
and yeah, i feel it would just be a more blunt version of the d/d skills. Oh, i jump around a lot with my skills and don’t do much condition wise, is really how it seems like it would be (to me, at least). a leap, or shadowstep, an aoe that smacks people, evade somewhere in one of those. it just isn’t creative it feels, especially with revenant getting staff and again, the damage skills feel like what a thief with staff would get.
however, if they DO give us thief staff and manage to make it VASTLY DIFFERENT from all expectations, okay, maybe it wont be bad.
