V. Basic Gameplay

You mostly spams aoe stealth on the golems/mesmers so they live. Your steal's stealth and lower cooldown on hide in shadow gives you good solo permastealth and solo survival.

Black Powder½ 6
Fire a black powder shot, blinding nearby foes with the smoke cloud.
Damage: 84Duration: 4Combo Field: SmokeCombo Finisher: ProjectileRange: 900
Blinding Powder 32
Deception. Blind foes in the target area and grant stealth to nearby allies.
Blind: 5 sStealth: 3 sRadius: 240

Blinding powder is a blast. You don't want to waste it by not using it on a smoke field. This will give you a 7 second AOE stealth. Use it when you feel that you won't be able to keep up with aoe stealth.


Smoke Screen ½ 24
Deception. Create a smoke screen that blocks projectiles and blinds foes.
Duration: 7Blind: 1 sCombo Field: Smoke
Cluster Bomb½ 3
Fire a cluster bomb at target area. Detonate in midair for multiple explosions.
Large explosion: 487Small explosion: 168x3Bleeding: 4 s (510 damage)Combo Finisher: BlastRange: 900

Use smoke screen ahead of the golems. Smoke screen creates a wall, make sure you are using it at a 90 degree angle of the golems, this will create a smoke line. Spam cluster bombs on the golems as they walk on your smoke screen.


Shadow Refuge ¼ 48
Deception. Create a pulsing refuge at the target area that heals allies and cloaks them in stealth.
Stealth: 3 sHealing: 1,420Combo Field: DarkRange: 600

You shouldn't need to use shadow refuge. Keep it for emergencies situations.
