顺手牵羊Stolen skill
Weapon variants
- Spear Spear can replace shortbow to provide a good damage modifier from
杂念投掷 before bursting with staff. Don't replace staff. Requires spear training from Janthir Wilds.
Skill Variants
Heal skill
活力引导 provides both decent healing and recovers endurance, making it a good all rounded healing skill. But other alternatives can be considered.
紧急撤离 - provides less healing but it is an evade and mobility skill.
恶意纹章 - provides almost no burst healing in exchange for constant sustain if you can keep hitting enemies.
遁入暗影 - defensive heal that provides 
潜行 to access the CC stealth attack 
钩型打击.
Utility skill
Keep 
铁拳乱舞 as it deals great damage. For the other two slots you can use whatever you want, we suggest 
强横防御 and 
战斗冲动 for some stun breaks with offensive capabilities, but other options can be considered.
暗影疾步 - alternative stun break that grants mobility and condition cleanse.
障眼烟幕 - blinds enemies and blocks projectiles.
毒蝎钩索 - if crowd control is needed.
暗影庇护 - to escape from enemies or stealth past them.
敏捷纹章 - can be considered if conditions are a problem.
Elite skill
石蜥毒液 - grants significant defiance bar damage
同仇敌忾 - more damage on a longer cooldown; ideal for solo or duo bosses / hero points
Specializations
Deadly Arts Variant
Higher DPS when playing in groups providing 
威能, 
激怒, etc. Replaces trickery.
Equipment
Ascended gear and stat infusions are not required; you can use exotic gear with the same stats. This set uses gear similar to Build:Daredevil_-_Power_DPS, making it excellent for general PVE
If you are gearing this character from zero, start with exotic quality gear. Search the trading post for "Nika" armor. Then search for the weapons you want to use: "Deathwish" staff, "Usoku's Needle" dagger, "Shattered Short Bow" shortbow. Upgrade to ascended gear as you progress. See also: Guide:How to Gear a Character.
- You can use whatever sigils you want on the shortbow. That weapon is only used for mobility and utility, not damage.
超级猎龙者符文 and 
超级学者符文 are interchangeable.- For Relic alternatives, you can consider
萨奇洛斯古物 to trade a minor amount of damage for sustain. - For defense, equip the highest tier Jade Core you can afford. Use defensive food or skills if required.
Consumables
Budget consumables are acceptable for use in open world.

Farming
- Prioritize Steak Ascended food.

Usage
Damage
- Open combat with dodge
弹跳 for the extra damage from 弹跳闪避 plus 顺手牵羊 to gain the boons from Trickery traits. Dodge often to maintain that bonus. - Ensure you never have full endurace to benefit from
浩劫专家. - Spam
虚弱回旋 after dodging vs. groups of 3 or less enemies. - Spam
飞天杖舞 after dodging vs. groups of 4 or more enemies. - Fill with Auto-attacks; try never to interrupt the attack chain.
Opener
Against bosses and other durable enemies, try to follow this opener:
- 弹跳 X2 to enable 弹跳闪避 and 浩劫专家.
- 顺手牵羊 (you will regain 50 endurance due to
妙手耐力) -
战斗冲动
-
虚弱回旋
-
铁拳乱舞
-
虚弱回旋
-
铁掌攻心
-
弹跳
-
虚弱回旋
Esentially, you want to use 虚弱回旋 and 铁拳乱舞 while under the buff of 弹跳闪避.
Defense
This build's defense is centered around evading damage rather than absorbing it.
- 飞天杖舞 and
衰弱弧击 make you evade attacks for 0.5 seconds. 
慷慨无私 provides significant 
活力 uptime for more dodges.- 活力引导 will refill endurance.
沙尘打击 is an area blind and reflects projectiles.- 强横防御 is a channelled block.
- Make use of 潜行 to disengage. Long lasting stealth can be used to channel hero points or sneak through otherwise dangerous places. If 暗影庇护 is not enough, blast stealth. To do this, equip a shortbow, place a 障眼烟幕, then spam
集束炸弹 in the smoke field.
Sustain
重生精准 is the primary source of healing in the build, though it should only be taken when extra healing is required.
