You might be thinking of the Thief Signet, Assassin's Signet, which grants +90 Power passively and 150% damage on next attack - which is IN NO WAY useless. It's like getting 1000 Power on one attack. Prep Assassin's Signet and Sigil of Intelligence and you can deliver an insanely strong guaranteed critical Backstab. It's possible to one-shot other players with it if they're squishy.
Yeah I must have confused them, I played a Thief before I made the Warrior I'm on now, same race, name and armor color so I probably confused myself.
At low levels Assassin's Signet doesn't seem as useful as it might be later on. It certainly isn't +90 Power at low levels. As for the 150% damage, is it +50% or +150%? If I remember correctly, the wording isn't exactly clear in that department. +150% is A LOT more, and A LOT better than +50%, at least in my opinion. I never got to end-game with Thief so I don't know how hard hitting they are. I suppose if they do a ton of damage a 50% buff would do wonders.

Level 40 lets you put your traits up to lvl20 when you buy the book for a gold (well if i remember correctly its a gold). But I wouldn't mind a nerf to it regardless, I'd just switch to the ability where you get 10% critical bonus while using a sword anyway.
I haven't run into that trait buff yet, but I haven't really looked since you get a free reset when you upgrade anyway. +40 Precision for each Unused Signet seems like an amazing buff, especially for me. I have a bad tendency to forget to use my 7-10 skills. I dunno how likely that is, at least for the Elite Signet, after looking at it, but it is currently the case with 7-9, and the Healing one is superb without using it (although of course I would use it if necessary to survive).
By nerf I was talking more about nerfing Warrior in general, not a specific skill. I hear a lot of complaints about Warriors being overpowered, and after playing one myself I can certainly agree, at least in early/mid game. I just hope ANet doesn't Nexon-Nerf.
