Heal skill

Channeled Vigor provides both decent healing and recovers endurance for more dodging, making it a good all rounded healing skill.

Utility skill

Keep Shadowstep for more mobility. For the other two slots you can use whatever you want, we suggest Infiltrator's Signet for yet another shadowstep and Signet of Agility for condition cleanse and more endurance.

• Smoke Screen - blinds enemies and blocks projectiles. Useful vs. bosses such as the Grand High Viscount of Candy Corn.

Elite skill

Dagger Storm provides more tagging since the daggers bounce.

• Basilisk Venom - if defiance bar damage is needed.

Specializations

• As a tagging build, you want to keep your damage low and focus on traits that improve mobility and resilience.

Relic

• You can use the same gear as Build:Daredevil_-_Power_DPS. Consider removing all your trinkets to reduce your damage and allow other players to tag.
• You can use Relic of Zakiros to trade a minor amount of damage for sustain or Relic of Speed for faster movement if you don't want to bother with shadowsteps.

Usage

Tagging

• Spam Trick Shot. Change targets with tab. The arrow bounces and hits up to 4 targets.
• Against clusters of enemies, you can use Cluster Bomb ⇒ Detonate Cluster.
• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Fire increases your AoE tagging.

Mobility

• Spam your dodge Unhindered Combatant. Sigil of Superior Sigil of Stamina gives you infinite endurance when tagging. You have permanent Swiftness.
• If more mobility is required, use any of your shadowsteps:
  • Steal
  • Infiltrator's Arrow
  • Shadowstep
  • Infiltrator's Signet

Bosses

When fighting bosses, considering swapping to Build:Daredevil_-_Power_Daredevil. If you can't or are too lazy, just swap to staff and spam Weakening Charge. Fill with Auto-attacks; try never to interrupt the attack chain.

Crowd Control

If needed, consider:

• Choking Gas
• Basilisk Venom
• Steal (due to Sleight of Hand)
