Would it be cool if I added you? I did not know you could do some of these combos. Or if you could explain them quickly that would be cool too.

Bounding Dodger Trait – Your dodge ability is replaced by Bound, dealing damage to the area after you evade and it’s a blast finisher that when u combined it with SMOKE field like Black Powder (#5 skill Pistol offhand) it applies Stealth then + quick steal and bacsktab and make sure to always hit you’re bacsktab at full potential so quick positioning is a must always hit at the back and BOunding dodge can do 3k to 4k ish crit

Thank you friend =D

So if I am correct. Black Power → Dodge → Steal right after stealth takes effect.

If you’re asking about the opening combo, you just need to use Black Powder, then dodge (with Bounding Dodger GM trait in DD line) and while dodging use Steal to the target, so you land the damage of Bound while going in stealth on top of your target, and after that use Backstab.

Ohh kitten I didn’t know we could steal while in the dodge animation. Wow I have been missing out hard.

No, as I said, you need to use steal WHILE dodging, so Mug can proc too before the dodge animation is over and you inflict both Mug and Bound dmg and end the combo in stealth, rdy to use Backstab.

Edit: and if you can, try to use Black Powder with the target already picked, so if he has Aegis you rupt it with the BP skill, allowing Mug+Bound+Backstab to land (if not, Mug will be blocked by Aegis).

Gotcha I think we replied at the same time, but thank you for the help. Very much appreciated!

Really great combo but is it worth using the dodge offensively when a heart seeker works just fine?

I suppose it’s a good backup when you know you can be more offensive and sacrifice a dodge.

Well you do it for the damage bonus I believe. Also you don’t have to burn initiative as black powder takes up 6 which is a good amount to want to use another 3.

Nope, for several reasons:

• HS can be interrupted, Bound can’t
• For targets with 50%+ HPs, HS has a coeff. of 1, Bound of 1.38
• After using Bound, you have a +10% dmg buff for 4s, thus increasing the dmg output of Backstab and one full chain of AA
• You don’t use 3 ini to complete the combo, just 50 endurance

That sounds great. I’ll have to try it out. Have you noticed your survivability dipping? The lack of UC’s damage reduction is hard to pass up with all the AoE flying around, but if bound can allow you to quickly kill a target and disengage, the sustain from UC may be moot.

Yea, I’ve been playing with this lately. The burst is great, but it does seem to hurt roaming capabilities and sustain against condi classes…

Also, I forgot what it’s like to be immobilized, lol. Gotta rely on shadow steps more for when that happens.

Just one more thing to add that I didn’t see anyone else mention. He’s using rune of the Daredevil meaning that after the BPS/Bound/Steal combo, backstab is guaranteed to crit cause of the single intelligence proc.

Yep i’m using Daredevil rune , my next attack is guaranteed to crit after completing a dodge while in combat. and i always have this signet of agility to restore 100 endurance so a daredevil with signet of agility can do 5 to 6 dodges which is really good! and i rarely get into clash while signet of agility or shadowstep on cooldown

combo bound+steal sometimes dont work for me
i get to teleport to my target and i get stealth but i dont do the bound dmg
what am i doing wrong?
