Mug was the first Trait I went for as I leveled, because I thought the Poison and Damage would be most beneficial in those early levels, and I wasn’t wrong (for the way I was playing, anyway).

And though I’m now 80 for WvW and PvE, and I’ve also practiced with different builds in the Mists, I always feel like I’m missing something if I don’t take Mug. It’s just a noticeable chunk of damage, and I also feel weird when I don’t have Thrill, because it’s such a nice booster.

To me Mug (and the poisoning on the way) is a free hit, another reason to hit Steal as soon as it’s up (which makes me desire it in heavy Trick builds), and just a nice compliment if you’re going to be running Thrill/Bountiful or Hidden Thief.

Anyone else feel this way? If not, what makes up for the lack of Mugging in your preferred focuses?

My psychic knife. The focused totality of my psychic powers.

it is probably my favorite trait. I just love opening with steal…so cool when you get to do up to 5k damage and apply poison and steal hopefully whirling axes or 100B. I will always open with it if I can. I probably rely on it too much…though I only run it with thrill of the hunt as I am pimping a backstabbing build right now…steal and backstab combo can do some huge damage on softies.
