Hi all, i’m talking about Vital Shot skill (aa pistol), when i drop a trap with Trapper runes and if i’m facing an enemy/mob after trap’s cast a random Vital Shot will give me revealed buff.
This happenes only if you are alredy in engagement with the target. I tried to resolve this with [trap cast+ stow+sneak attack ], but dont work 100% of the time, some time instead to cancel the first VS i miss cancel the trap :/

The only way, that i know, to avoid this problem its to drop the enemy target->
cast the trap->retake the target->cast sneak attack. . . but it’s a bit problematic to do for each trap, expecially in a pvp fight.

I’m not here to complain about this skill, i just need some tips to resolve this problem.

Because of the delay with trapper runes, it doesn’t know you want to stop auto attacking. The only way around it is to turn off auto attacking (Ctrl right click the 1 skill) or drop your target. If you mash 1 for autos anyway, I recommend disabling the automatic skill use as you won’t really notice anything different besides not autoing when you don’t want to.

I usually just face the other direction of my target. Helps most of the time.

Just another noob thief…

other ways you can stop it is dropping target // using stow/draw weapons // esc
