    Notes

    Make sure to complete your auto-attack chains, as they actually apply conditions.

    If your Endurance or Initiative aren’t ready to continue the loop, do 1 extra auto-attack chain instead.

    Avoid using 2 auto-attack chains while also using placing Prepare Thousand Needles as this will take too much time and Lotus Training will run out.

    Introduction

    Condition Daredevil build offers visually dynamic gameplay due to constant usage of movement skills like Death Blossom, Steal, Heartseeker, , and Dodge.

    Build fundamentals

    The ramp-up of your condition damage is carried with burst skills like Venoms, paired with spamming of Death Blossom.

    Always ensure to use Venoms after the boon strip that happens when you enter combat with the boss and don’t steal from Invulnerable enemies, as using Steal will result in stealing nothing.
    Be aware of range of your Venoms (240 units around you) when applying them to your allies. Always position yourself, so you cover every one of them within the range of the aforementioned skills.

    Maintain Lotus Training uptime as highest as possible, and keep in mind that the buff does not stack. If you’re unable to hit your target, make sure to look at the trait uptime and dodge if it’s about to run out.

    The rotation of this build is pretty simple, but in a real fight you will have to pay close attention to your surroundings to avoid leaping into the big bad.
    Use those same leaps to reposition yourself constantly into whatever place of the fight seems safest.

    Note that due to the lack of cool-downs on Thief, keeping any skill pressed for too long, will make your character use them more than once because of the skill queing system.
    This might result in a dps loss or feeding due to being locked into unwanted animations, so make sure to tap your skills instead of holding them!

    Combo Fields aren’t something that every group can offer but they can increase your DPS significantly by using Whirl Finishers like Death Blossom and Lotus Training into them:

    • Ethereal Fields:
    • Fire Field:
    • Poison Field:
    • Dark Field: Life-steal Damage

    Crowd Control

    Swap Thieves Guild for:

    • Impact Strike If there are any breakbars in fights where Basilisk Venom might activate on unwanted enemies instead of the one you’re trying to CC.
