by which i mean use there combo fields nad abuse there finishers.
too many times i just see a thief run into the fight and backstab someone then run away. or just plink people with trick shot then infi arrow away.
lets get some flair up in here!
there are mainly 3 “finisher” types for thieves that i find useful, blinding, leeching, and poisoning.
the type of finishing move you do determines what type of blinding/leeching/poisoning you get.
why would you just trickshot away at the enemy when you can put down a poison field and give people 33% healing reduction, or put down black powder or smokescreen and start sending out blinding arrows? put down a shadow refuge and you can having leeching which while weak on itsa own, the fact that trick can hit up to 4 times/targets means its actually noticeable.
hell people dont abuse shortbows area stealth combo, you dont HAVE to switch to D/D and CnD
of course its not just shortbow. HS can apply weakness to a single target if you create your poison field (useful for the incoming damage).
and teh big daddy of combos, daggerstorm, so many people are caught up with thieves guild (which is very powerful and arguably better for roaming). a epic strategy is to lay down a black powder/smoke screen and then click daggerstorm. now not only are you reflecting projectiles while doing damage, your chain blinding targets alla round you. of course you can also heal/poison with other combo fields.
cant tell you how many times ive been called on for hacking by abusing these things, and it adds great complexity to the class.
