Overview

The gameplan of this rather obnoxious PvP Daredevil build is simple: proc Bounding Dodger in Black Powder for stealth, follow up Sneak Attack - repeat until target dies. Due to its simplistic playstyle it's also quite beginner friendly.

Usage

General

• Much of the sustain in the build comes from spamming Blind and how that condition synergizes with traits like Cloaked in Shadow.

• Spamming projectiles while inside Black Powder (BP) is both your primary source of defense and offense.

• If you don't have the initiative for BP or if you're under heavy pressure, use Smoke Screen. This is the best defensive skill in the build, keeping you safe from both melee and projectile pressure while also proccing Blind related traits and providing a combo field for stealthing.

• When you get low on HP or you feel like you need to wait for CDs/initiative to come back, simply linger in stealth for a while instead of ambushing.

• Blinding Powder is an excellent defensive skill. Not only is it a stun break and instant source of stealth, it's also a blast finisher that can be used inside Blinding Powder and Smoke Screen for even more stealth.

• Hide in Shadows provides much needed cleansing and another option for stealthing without having to set up a combo field first.

• Condition cleansing is mostly tied to CDs like Shadowstep's chain skill, but Escapist's Fortitude and Sigil of Purging does provide a steady stream of cleansing. Combined with your blind spam this is a good enough first line of defense that makes you a bit less reliant on CDs to survive.

• Headshot won't be used much except for interrupting important skills (such as healing or rez attempts). When used in a smoke field like BP this will not only interrupt their current action, but also makes their next attack miss because of the Blind from the projectile finisher. That interaction also makes this rather strong when you're under pressure and need to survive.

• Steal is yet another source of instant stealth.

• Dagger Storm is mainly for defense. The on-demand evade frame coupled with potential blinding projectiles while used in a smoke field could not only save you from lethal damage but also heal you up. The healing scales with the number of enemy targets.

Damage

• Most of the damage comes from spamming Sneak Attack.

Core burst rotation:

1. Black Powder
2. Dodge inside BP to proc Bounding Dodger for stealth
3. Sneak Attack while standing inside BP for 100% chance to combo blinding projectiles for sustain and Cloaked in Shadow synergy
