Usage
General
- You should have the "Autotarget" option active. This is because many times you will be fighting enemies that do not have enough health remaining to survive all 8 shots of Unload. Autotarget will automatically switch to a nearby enemy when your initial target dies so if there are two enemies sufficiently close to each other, you will still receive the Initiative refund from hitting all 8 shots. Line up your targets appropriately when you have an enemy that is too weak to take all 8 shots.
- You should have a key bound to "Disable Autotarget". There are times when you will want to cast an ability without actually hitting anything. Primarily for stealth blasting out-of-combat.
- When you use skills or traits to restore Initiative, try to keep at least one Initiative counter emptied so that you don't waste passive Initiative regeneration.
Damage
- Mash and pew pew things to death.
- Try to hit with all 8 shots so you get the initiative refund.
- Weapon swap or use to regain initiative.
- When you're out of initiative, use if you can gain stealth with a stolen skill or one of your utility skills. Otherwise, just fill with autoattacks while waiting for your initiative to recharge.
- Use as often as possible for boons and a damage multiplier.
- Prioritize targets that will die quickly so you can reset more often.
Defense
- Use your range to your advantage by kiting enemies and staying out of danger.
- If cornered by lots of enemies, use or to pulse blindness.
- is a zero-cooldown daze that can be used to interrupt dangerous attacks.
- destroys projectiles. You can also use for more projectile defense.
- can be used as an escape.
- Remember to always dodge and sidestep attacks if possible. Don't get hit by anything you can move out of.
Sustain
- If you feel that you're taking a lot of damage, you can trait .
- and cleanse conditions. In a pinch, you can activate .
- If you have lots of trouble with conditions you can run , , or .
Stealth
- Stealth is one of the most useful tools available to Thieves. Use to channel hero points or sneak through otherwise dangerous places.
- If is not enough, you can blast stealth. To do this, equip a shortbow, place a , then spam in the smoke field.
