Summoned thieves are NPC summoned by the Thief profession when using Thieves Guild. Like most summoned allies they will follow their summoner and fight nearby hostiles until slain or their duration expires. Though the gender may vary, they are always the same race and level as their summoner. The male version wields two Bandit Revolvers and the female two Bandit Shivs or a Bandit Slicer. Both genders are dressed in full Sneakthief armor. Although they only have a small pool of skills to use in combat, each skill deals a fairly large amount of damage in comparison to the player.

A double-dagger and double-pistol thief will always be summoned, along with a third summon which varies. If summoned by a thief without any elite specialization, the third summon will wield one sword. If summoned by a Daredevil, a staff-wielding Daredevil (NPC) will spawn. If summoned by a Deadeye, a rifle-wielding Deadeye (NPC) will spawn. And if summoned by a Specter, a scepter-wielding Specter (NPC) will spawn. Unlike the pistols and daggers summon, the third summon (regardless of elite spec) will randomize gender.

Antiquary will summon a Skritt as the third summon with the release of Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity.

Combat abilities

The following approximate base damage is for level 80 summoned thieves versus a Standard Kitty Golem. Summoned thieves have ~5% crit chance and will deal an additional 50% more damage if it becomes a critical hit.

• Thieves Guild always summons one male dual-pistol thief and one female dual-dagger thief, while the third thief varies depending on the equipped elite specialization in either gender.
• The attributes of the summoned thieves depend only on their level and not on the attributes of their summoner. None of the thieves use Stealth Attacks, so they gain no offensive benefit from stealth. The male thieves can evade attacks. While the females cannot, they will try to avoid area damage effects such as Choking Gas by moving outside of their range.
• Since the male thieves do not have a basic attack skill, they will stand idle when they are out of Initiative.
• The summoned thieves will always be of the true race of the summoning player. If the player is a human disguised as a charr, the summoned thieves will still be human.
• Using Thieves Guild again when thieves are already summoned will despawn the thieves before summoning new ones.

Anomaly:

Although the female thief's melee attacks functions much like the Double strike chain, all her melee attacks are called Twisting Fang when seen in the combat log.
