Hello!

I’ve just started my journey in Tyria, though I’ve got a question: while all the other abilities have a unique tooltip, my first ability have 4… what does it mean? Is that a rotation or what?

I’m currently equipping two daggers.

Thanks

its this games version of autoattack, you press the ability once and it cycles thru each attack.

backstab however is special, this can only be accessed once in stealth.

Thanks for the information

And about the stealth: AFAIK (and as of now) I can enter stealth only when I use the heal ability for few moments… is it right?

elegos,

That is correct, the only way to enter stealth when you start out is your heal. Other skills add stealth which you’ll see in the tooltip as you unlock them (for some reason, the tooltip before unlocking is, if you can believe it, even less informative than the tooltips for skills on the bar). There are also traits that have effects revolving around stealth like increasing the length of the stealth or adding stealth when you steal.

Thank you Ron for the further information ^^

I’m quite new to this kind of MMO, WoW litterally flattened my mind about dynamics
