I’m leveling with a SB-S/P build. Everything is faceroll except for multiple ranged opponents. I can handle vets, single ranged, multiple melee. It’s basically #5 and AA. However, with two ranged opponents, by the time I’ve killed one, the other ones have wasted me. Pulling doesn’t work since they leash before I can separate them.

Is this just a thief weakness or is there a way around it?

Fight with terrain and line of sight advantage to get them to move to your area, often times they will both run to whatever it is you just hid behind and then you can continue the blinding, AA spam. If that isn’t working for you maybe switch to using mh pistol for those rare occasions you are caught out in the open with no usable terrain/objects. I am certainly no thief expert and have run into similar issues in low levels as I just started a thief recently so hopefully someone else can help answer better than me.

if ur going to use sword /pistol then in that case spam pistol whip so your evades drop around 3/4’s of the total dmg. its gr8 to use.
