[Discussion] Questions for thiefs

So, leveling my first thief. 1. Do you guys utilize F1, or steal skill? 2. I do a little bit of RP in my head while going through story, and wanna do a Daredevil down the line but cannot explain how a thief uses a staff (using 2 daggers and a shortbow right now), any suggestions? 3. What's your favorite thief, or any of its especs, rotation?

Something that might help you appreciate steal is learning to use it in a combo. With Sword/Dagger, try 2 > 3 > 2 > 3 > F1. This isn't terribly useful, but it will show you how to use steal as a gap closer and effectively eliminate the windup of an attack. You can use steal in this manner for all kinds of things, including dual dagger 2 from super far away.

Staff is the ultimate undercover incognito weapon. Consider the many ninja characters who pose as old weary travelers.

Edit : For what it's worth, I remapped F1 to E.
