In Guild Wars 2, There is Provide eight different profession which player can choose, and three of them is new playable Profession which u cant found on first Guild Wars, Unlike on Guild Wars, there is no secondary Profession on this Guild Wars 2, Professions are divided into three "types": scholars (Elementalist, Mesmer, and Necromancer), adventurer (Engineer, Ranger, and Thief), and soldier (Guardian and Warrior), each different profession will have access to different weapon too.


Tief
       Tief has specialize on stealth fighting, They utilize surprise and shadow to get close to their enemies (this is my favorites profession), i love to fight with strategy not just rushing to face enemy in one on one combat, Thieves are able to steal things from enemies, which they can then use as environmental weapons against them, wich i like from this profession is Weapon skills have no cooldown; instead they use initiative.

        Thief Special Skills

           Shadow stepping - thief disappear and appear at a different place
