It’s a pattern they open with a condition spike. Usually steal with a shadow strike (where they phase away and you have torment).

Or they will cloak and dagger then come out of stealth with sneak attack. The spike is when you are hit with the confusion from steal (trait) or interrupted by a steal and have confusion(perplexity). That is the part when you want to cleanse asap. They will start to move toward you for a cnd or shadow strike probably cnd to wipe your condis off. You want to stay away or knock them back, if they do stealth then prepare shield 4 for reflect.

Its a hard fight but doable it’s difficult just because they have range to match your range. If it was a fight where you both stay there and shoot each other you will win because you have burning but they have better condition removal if they can get in stealth.

Best solution for all thieves is a flame thrower because of shadow refuge they can get a soft reset to heal up hoping you blow cooldown especially your heal. Flamethrowers knockback is so good. I almost always knock them out of it go in with the auto attack like your channeling hit FT3 and it will cancel the auto and do the knockback the auto is just bait the dodge in refuge smart thieves will dodge inside if you move toward it.

Like forest said pry bar is good for confusion because they spam 1 alot.
