Q:
(edited by Jay.3409)
So thief is my main..
SB 2 > Swap > Backstab > Steal(Mug)
More than enough to surprise oneshot squishies.

Edit:
what he did in the video was using cluster bomb, then stealing just as cluster bomb finishes, and then using cluster bomb again to detonate all 3 fragments on his location(which is now the same as his enemy’s).
It’s also not quite a oneshot combo, mug+cluster bomb damage is in fact a little less than simple backstab damage -.- (though, what helps is that both air and fire sigils are very likely to trigger and add more damage since the cluster bomb hits 3 times)

It would be easier to explain if you linked the video.
The most basic combo is black powder to heart seeker which gives you stealth, if you point your camera straight to ground, the heart seeker has shorter range and is easier to stack multiple times on one field.
About the combo, it may be that he used black powder, then used heart seeker from the field to hit enemy while gaining stealth, starting the backstab animation and using traited steal before the attack hits.
Also if you are stealthed and use shadow shot, you can chain it instantly with backstab if you start the bs animation before the shadowshot lands.
All the skills can be used with steal too, if you have low hp enemy running away, you can use heartseeker and just before the the attack hits, you use steal to get next to your enemy and land the hit.

what exactly is backstab? is that my 1 skill ( keybind) also i edited my post regarding the video
He is using SB2 + teleport + SB2 (second use detonates it). If you port the arrow will port with you, so you can detonate on top of your enemy.
Also, backstab is your nr1 skill while you are stealthed with a mainhand dagger. Which hits quite hard, from behind.

You can use steal, shadowstep and Infiltrator’s signet for this kind of move.
Your other port would be shadow shot. Which could do a similar action for a backstab if timed right. The other ‘ports’ can also be used to line up a backstab. And can even be used one after another to do so from a lot further away.
These moves will require some practice, especially on the timing and the distance you can use them from. But they will make you that much more dangerous since you gain more options and have the element of surprise on your side!

What he did was: Cluster Bomb (SB2) → Steal (with Mug trait in Deadly Arts) → Detonate Cluser (SB2).
This combination hits so hard because the traited Steal adds to the burst.
You can also do this with the Infiltrator’s Signet or a Shadowstep, but they dont’t deal damage. I’d also recommend you’d use Shadowstep as an escape for starters ;P

Again I fail to see how this is a question type thread…
