Holy Beast Thief Skill GuideClan:
Tiger - Attack Power
Monkey - Dodge
Skills:
Heartblow - 5 sec cool down
- This skill is not that great as auto attack dose more damage then the skill, but its a requirement to get Poison Blade and needs to be lv 2.
Poison Blade - 30 sec cool down
- This is your main best skill vs Boss or hard mobs, its just amazing as it drains HP from mob over time as you attack.
Heavenfall Dance - 15 sec cool down
- This is very good skill, I love this skill, it slows MOB attack speed, which helps a lot if your trying to kill a boss or hard mob that is elite like in Towers/Dungens.
Devilwrath - 10 min cool down
- Dose not last long, adds Power and Crit, but its pretty good skill vs boss type mobs, and there a lot of them that drop really good loot
Shadowfoot - 20 seconds longer than skill duration
- This is pretty much best skill Thief can get, it lets you tank like 100 mobs and you never get hit I love this skill, it has very short cool down and it can be recast very often, how ever this sill dose not shine until lv 32 and up when you can buy more ranks and extend the duration of the skill.
Skills Note:
If your thinking of getting other skills, don't, they all suck badly, have very long cool down timers and pretty much are horrible.
BAD Skills:
Sneak - Useless, long ass cool down... about 1 MIN down time...
Shadowflash - never stuns and it never works waist of an attack...
Thief Soul - maybe its good at high lvs like 60+, but at low levels pretty useless...
Double Attack - Horrible skill and its cool down timer.. Auto attack dose more damage then the Skill 6 sec cast time with 8 sec cool time... that's 14 sec
Sadly your stuck with these skills until lv 52, thats when you get some new skills, long way to go
Thief Play StyleWhat you have to understand about Thief is that your auto attacks do more damage then the skills, skills are there just to boost your attack or snare the enemy your attacking.
Usually skills have long cast time/cool down that means you can perform 2-3 auto attacks in the same time you can cast 1 skill.
Thief Leveling / GrindingFor normal mobs, that you can kill 2-4 hits never use twin weapons, use bow always, bow is your best friend in this game, it dose physical attack which works very well, you can hit mobs faster then running from 1 mob to the other with twin weapons, speed is everything
