Thief: Does Steal do anything?

Steal is an essential component of a condition/DB build, when you trait Trickery. The first 5-point trait gives 3i when you Steal. I open with DB twice, then Steal, then I have enough initiative for another DB. Gives around 10 stacks of bleed per mob (since DB is aoe). I chose Thrill of the Crime for my 10-point trait in Trickery (I’m only lvl 20 now). That gives 10 seconds of might, fury, and swiftness to me and nearby allies when I steal. Add caltrops and venoms to the mix, and you are doing some serious damage to either a single foe or multiple mobs. AND on top of that, when you are DB’ing, you’re evading, so you can’t be hit while you are seeing the DB animation. This build is rocking my world right now.

Things I wish I knew when I started playing.

Have you heard of oiled bags? If you have one, junk items will go there first, if there is room. Makes your other bags a little more tidy/organized.
