According to the press release, the thief is described like this: "As a master of stealth and surprise, the thief is deadly in single combat – particularly when catching enemies off guard. Thieves compensate for their relatively low armor and health by being quick and evasive. They can travel through the shadows, vanish into thin air, or steal items from their opponents and use them as weapons."

The thief, as expected, they can dual-wield daggers, swords, pistols as well as shortbows. They can equip different weapons in each hand. And like all professions, the abilities at the Thief's disposal changes based on what you have equipped.
