One Augment I forgot to recommend is Lethality from Archer, letting you deal more damage on weakspots Which Vocation should I make a video on next? I got most Vocations maxed by now so I can showcase most skills

Plunder is actually really good. You can use it on NPCs in town and because it doesn't do DMG they wont aggro (Unless you just do it right in front of them around NPCs that can fight). You can get tons of things from it. I plundered a shop keep at Rest Point and got some membership card to some club. Someone suggested using it on unique NPCs who for this reason, gets you some cool stuff. ALSO, if you don't know when to use it or don't want t worry about it ... make a Thief Pawn and give it to them to use in fights. My Pawn Plundered a stack of 3 Farsight stones (IDK, w/e the name is of the item that you use to teleport to the crystals) of some random bandit or Goblin. She got me some new bottoms off a Boss. I hear you can get some bad ass Spear from Dragons. It's not limited to what you can loot off of them.

Concussive Leap is REALLY underestimated for how good it really is with it's utility. It's better than levitate for height and almost as good for distance. You can Jump > Concussive Leap > Skull Splitter (weapons must be out) to reach places insanely high or far. The real place where this combo shines is against Griffins and Dragons,. If they're hovering above the ground, this combo will allow you to reach them, even hitting the dragon's heart when it breathes fire from above. I personally run with Concussive Leap, Skull Splitter, Smoke Shroud, and Formless Feint. Voracity from Magick Archer and Zeal from Warfarer are S Tier augments. All other augment slots are personal preference. Probably Endurance, Exaltation, and Lethality being my next favorites. No need for defensive augments or climbing augments. - Skull splitter does way more damage than climbing/stabbing and the combo I listed above helps you do it on every mob type, even flying mobs. - Defensive augments are not needed since Smoke Shroud and Formless Feint will make you take no damage. - Smoke Shroud lets you kill regular mobs really fast with auto-crits. It also prevents airborne mobs from flying backwards and away from you. Especially good if you have no archer pawn. - Bring along a Mage Pawn with the Maister skill for infinite Stamina. (Allows for Insane DPS and Infinite Survivability while the skill is active on you.) Game = Solved. Thief OP Edit: I'm not a fan of Blades of the Pyre. The enchant time is extremely short compared to the mage boons, the extra damage it provides is marginal, and the BiS as well as pre-BiS daggers late-game have perma-enchants anyway which negates the skill.

Theif is definitely one of the best vocations as a player, but isn't played optimal by a pawn.

The frost daggers are really good before end game. Really good.

Thanks for sharing this :) Big help.

Brilliant video I love how much time you spent explaining everything

For the 2 maister skills I got them with thief rank 1. They just gave it to me after first meeting them.

1:57 - "WEEEEeeee... Lol I prefer to call that skill the Yeeter intead of skull splitter😂

Great vid. I vote for Mystic Spearhand next

btw verve is actually not a great augment for late game because it only increases your damage by a base of 30, which is less than 5% with end game weapons. Dominance is a strong damage augment.

I like to run powder blast, flames of the pyre, skull slpitter, and either gut and run or concussive leap. Lot of people dont realize you can spam dodge away from flames of pyre blast damage. Blowing things up is too much fun.

Implicate is also amazing on ground enemies. It can catch evasive enemies like thief bandits and wolves. It can knock down enemies with shields. It can knock over rock skinned saurians. In all cases you can follow up with your heavy attack for that KO finisher move.

are the spite daggers better than bolts from the blue? A lot of youtube videos seem to recommend getting bolts from the blue as the best early game daggers even though the spite daggers are actually easier to get. I have both and cant decide which is better

If ur using blades of the pyre you can dodge the explosion if you spam the dodge in the opposite direction

I like Powder Blast (PB) combined with Draw & Quarter (D&W). D&Q forces you to leap off after the attack. So... plant PB first, then do D&Q and detonate the bomb as you are leaping off, it's two-for-one. Don't waste the climb on the cyclops or griffon for just one attack, when you can do two. Plus the knock down potential is very high.

That Witcher Soundtrack goes hard 😂

Was using the Ice imbued daggers for so long and loved the CC it caused before moving to the Holy imbued ones from the endgame. After using both, i think i might take the hit on the damage and go back for CC...😅

Max out archer first, really enjoyed it. now on thief and the difference is crazy.

A plunder pawn is amazing for monster material farming.

Do one for Trickster!!

The early griffin gets the worm

Up for a round of cards? Gwent, specifically.

Great Video. One question, on 7:13 when you're using formless feint you regain stamina. In the comments you say to watch the augments part of the video and I did but that doesn't explain how you're able to instantly regain stamina without the use of consumables. There's no augment that makes you automatically regain stamina. So how do you do it?

I like to use the powder blast for big flying enemies like griffons and drakes I plant the charge on there weak spot and when they try and fly away I blast them with the charge knocking them down

I´m playing with Ring of Skullduggery. Unfortunately the game doesn´t show dmg numbers so I´m not sure if 20 flat dmg from behind deals more dmg than increasing strength by 30 tho

Plunder Skill provides infinite ferrystone farming from my pawn

Why would you not use the Frosted Edges? 1000 total damage (500+ str and 500+ magic) vs 600 str on Framae Blades.

Man, I really want Wayfarer to use master teaching. Formless Feint with an Great sword is the closest to gut Berserk build. Could u imagine doing skull splinter with an Great sword

You can use draw and quarter whenever you have someone pinned too

Warrior next!

If you want ultimate thief / shadow walker build based on stamina for the ult skills , heres what ive been running: fighter, level 2, mettle , increased health Augment for Archer : endurance, level 4 archer , increased stamina Mage : Exaltation , level 9 , increases stamina recovery speed Warrior : vitality , level 1 , increased health Magic Archer : Voracity , level 4 , gain stamina with killing blow Warfarer: Zeal , level 6 , reduces stamina consumed on weapon skill

hello bro , i got a question , how do you so many have augments ( to use with the thief ) ????

You dont have to be level 4 or higher for him to give you the theif master abilities. I hadn't even started the vocation yet and he still gave them to me

I thought i was going to love the mystic spearhand but after playing theif its by far my favorite class. So fast, so much damage. And a very fun dynamic playstle with tons of cool skills and variety. Just overall such an amazing class. Honestly though the classes all feel really fun and well designed.

Noob here. Ignited blades not working with bolts from blue daggers. Is that cos of the magic buff

I got both the Meister skills without even being a thief. Not sure if it's a glitch or intentional but just a heads up

FYI blades of the pyre is the highest thief skill hands down. And probably the second highest damage ability behind mystic archers martyr's bolt which one shots dragons if you charge it up long enough. Don't even bother using any other ability for damage besides blades of the pyre. 4 or 5 so uses kills most bosses/bigger enemies, and is spammable unlike draw and quarters no other ability comes close even helm splitter doesn't compare not to mention it's consistent and isn't jank like the other ability's. Just my two sense.

So is dwarven blacksmith the best option for thieves? Keeping in mind that the Dragonforced will halve all weight, negating the negative aspect of the Dwarven smithy almost completely.

The only skills you need are Formless Feint and Blades of the Pyre. BotP is NOT a buff, it is an attack that happens to give you flaming attacks. Just turn on Formless Feint and spam BotP to evaporate everything in the game. Know down? Huge. Damage? Huge. TTK on a drake? ~20 seconds. This leaves plenty of room for Concussive Leap for traversal utility and one other skill you like that might not fit in a pure combat build. The idea of using self-destruct then dodging it to maximize damage is downright hilarious.

orgin of black knife tiche

What about the Frosted edges daggers? those are mad, and sports 500 magick dmg also, and 500 str

Is there gear better than what the old dragonforge guy sells for wyrm crystals if so I haven't seen it on my 5th playthrough

Armor is sort of pointless isn't it? Since you have formless feint. Does formless faint dodge magic? I rarely see mages so no idea

You should focus on letting your weight very low. I noticed you are sitting at average weight in your clips. Getting to light or very light will decrease stamina useage by a lot. You can literally scrap armor altogether and increase your invincibility time with formless feint if you wanted.

Shadow veil is useless unless u are solo. Meaning no pawns. If u have pawns then the enemy will see the pawns and then aggro to u. It did this in the first game too

How are you constantly recovering stamina on kill with formless faint active?

Trickster build can’t wait

Does the the ring which makes you immune to fire accumulate protect from the fire off of blades of pyre?

Verve being a flat 30 strength is very very bad. You're better ff running lethality or even defensive augments as those are a % increase. Lethality being +5% dmg

Maister-May ster, Meister- My-ster. Maister from Old French Maistre. Meister from Old High German Meistar.

How does your stamina recover so quickly in 12:20?

How to get framae blades

Don't sleep on Plunder, a Thief pawn stole Dead Ringer for me from the Melve dragon

Please someone tell me the armor in the thumbnail

Plunder got me like 20 ferry stones XD and 8 wake stones

so.......thief class has ultra instinct basically, just be auto dodging huh

I’m lvl 50 and just realized I’ve played 70 hours without any augments or core skills 😂 I’m about to feel like god in this game

Light dagger best very op i clear a griffin in 5 sek 😂

Where do you get the Framae blades from?

Plunder is how you farm ferrystones without mods. Yw. Bye.

Blade of pyre is not a meister skill...it's a joke skill... They even say it, they teach idiots that and they leave thinking they've gotten the secrets.

Not using heavens keys? Boo 😂💀

Why is ur game looking like u play on 60 fps?

I love this game, but having to upgrade every vocation essentially to get all augments just for a good build is trash
