How to extend stealth?
yes

I’ve had fun playing my thief like a glass-cannon warrior, but I’d really like to try giving stealth a try.
In the awesome Yishis video, the thief is in stealth quite awhile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRcTKt47ixk
I’ve replicated the trait and skill settings and come pretty close with weapons, armor, and adornments. But I drop out of stealth in a few short seconds.
Is it simply a matter of Black Power then Heart Seeker?
All you have to do is drop black powder, aim your POV downwards and heartseeker through the powder at least 3 times. After some practice you’ll be able to do it 4 times and that will allows you to perma stealth.

From what I remember, Yishis doesn’t use pistol offhand, but instead uses double dagger. So he doesn’t use the black powder heart seeker for stealth.
Instead he uses Cloak and Dagger. By waiting for stealth to almost be out. (Once it starts blinking rapidly) He starts to cast CnD and when he appears from stealth he’s almost instantly back in stealth while blinding foes from his trait. In order to sustain stealth, he uses his heal and shadow refuge.
This method eats up a lot less initiative giving more damage output in the end. Yet is mor difficult to land than the dagger pistol method.

He did use pistol for a short time.
For each time you heartseek through the smoke field you stack stealth. But be carefull, if you land that heartseeker on an enemy you will be revealed.
