Summary

Thief guide for organized CoF P1 Speed Farming.

 

Warning this build has very high damage and low defense. Initiative control is required as well as good positioning.

 

I always play with a warrior who will use combustive shot so I can stack might and I have written this guide with that train of thought.

 

I prefer to use Basilisk Venom on the Slave driver to prevent T-Guild from pulling the boss away from the group, however I will use T-Guild on the last boss.

Weapon and Skill Details

Dagger/Dagger is going to be your primary weaponset, however you will also utilize two other weapon sets for niche situations as explained below.

 

SHORTBOW- This is used purely to stack might with a warrior through blasting Combustive Shot.

 

SWORD/PISTOL- This is used to cleave the trash mobs before the slave driver.

 

DAGGER/DAGGER- This is your primary weapon set used for boss fights and acolytes

 

Primary Utilities

 

Haste - Burst on your Pistol-Whip and gate controller.
Signet of the Assassin - Glue this skill to your bar and keep it there.
Signet of Agility - Mostly Glue this one as well except at gate controller.

 

Hot Swap Utilities

 

Shadowstep - Used to trigger acolytes and immediately swap to Infiltrators signet.
Infiltrator's Signet - Bursting to Acolytes and at last fight to maintain your bread and butter backstab combo's.
Ambush Trap- Used at the gate controller, and possibly at Bosses as an alternate but I prefer Infiltrators signet on boss fights.

Mug- Bonus damage and helps achieve really fast gate controller kill times.
Dagger Training- +5% Damage for our primary damage set.

 

Signets of Power- Burst Damage for the gate controller.

Upgrade Item Details

Runes: 6x Scholar (Conditional 10% Damage Boost)

 

Scholar Runes are great for increasing your damage. I don't know of any others that can give you this much of a consistent damage boost. These runes are well known and approved of by the community.

 

Sigils: Night / Smothering

 

Sigil of Night is a really nice rune since the whole dungeon counts as night and thus give you a constant 10% Damage Boost

 

Sigil of Smothering also gives a constant 10% Damage Boost
(Unsure if it stacks or not at the moment but I #believe it does)

Pre-Fight
You begin this fight by blasting for might, and Swapping over to D/D

 

Opening Combo
Start with Hide in shadows for the initial backstab and continue to chain CnD->BS until the slave driver is at 50%

 

Finishing Combo
Once the Slaved Driver gets to or below 50% I like to get 1 Backstab off with Assassin's Signet and finish him off with a few Heartseekers.

Awesome guide. This is exactly what I was looking for. My countless hours of search has ended. Time to farm my precursor. Yay! Thanks for making this guide!

Just fyi, you slotted the wrong trait. You say in the explanation section the Critical Strikes Master trait is "Signet Use", but you slotted "Critical Haste" there instead. Signet Use obviously makes much more sense for this build.
