Some extra thoughts based on comments. Did some more testing with Smoke Screen and I can see the appeal of gibbing small packs of goblins instantly with it. However I still think I would take Implicate over it as it offers the same combo with Twin Fangs but also handling harpies and yanking down big boys. It does seem if you spam enough Smoke Screen you can infinitely attack big boys without them aggroing which is pretty interesting. For pawns I want to reiterate that Plunder has top tier utility and can even steal rare mats for you. Additionally on the note of stealing from NPCs, you activate Shadow Veil and then Plunder the NPC. This will steal from them without causing aggro.

Smoke Screen is overlooked. Automatic crits on anything standing in it during the duration (drop smoke, spam Y on mobs) It works best as an offensive skill for taking out packs quickly. My straightforward pawn utilizes it well offensively and often packs of 6 hobgoblins or suarians are dead within seconds just from him

I replaced formless faint with smoke screen due to giving myself a more challenging playthrough and love it, not only does it work well offensively like you mentioned you can use it as cover when reviving a downed pawn, it also feel so good having you and 3 pawns all thief vocation with smoke screen and descend on a group just for the smoke to clear and only have you and the pawns standing

By late game, implicate and Skullsplitter will handle everything, coupled with your super strong light and heavy attacks. Basically that leaves 2 skill slots to pick whatever. I don't find formless feint or blades pf the pyre necessary at all. You can kill everything just using what I listed above, in mere seconds. So the last 2 skills really can just be for preference or utility.

My 2 cents. If you are building a pawn, they do not underatand to use formless feint to negate the self damage from blades of the pyre, they will just nuke themselves 😂. From what I've heard smoke screen will prox the ambuscade augment which can be big damage. Pair it with sorceror augural flare on warfarer and watch the fireworks.

I agree, but imo it's still better then athleticism, since as a Thief I mostly Carve + Dash anywhere. And Formless Faint gives a speed boost making you even faster. You can refill Formless Feint by killing small enemies with Carve even during large enemy fights. Besides Voracity recovers 10% stamina. Say you have 1500 stamina. You get +150 per kill. Where natural recovery is 100/s. It's just my opinion tho. Good video.

Implicate is amazing, but unfortunately it doesn’t act as a grappling hook for exploration. Concussive Leap actually has an interesting quality beyond exploration and giving your Skullsplitter more height - if you perform Concussive Leap with 0 directional input, you will backflip in place and any enemy next to you is likely open to a jump attack execution thanks to the explosion - which you are conveniently ready to deliver immediately because you got launched in the air. This is extremely useful for dealing with saurians, shielded enemies, stout undead, etc. So while Implicate might be better in a pure combat scenario, I do think Concussive Leap deserves some kudos as well.

In the first game you could use pilfer on pawns that wander the world to get a ton of really good items (as well as being one of two ways to get a specific set of daggers that had darkness infusion) so I'm curious if you can do the same in this game. Each vocation you stole from would drop items from their own specific loot tables

Concussive Leap is a nice interaction with Skullsplitter as it gives you more forward momentum and height and more height gives Skullsplitter more hits. Of course on top of it being effectively a double jump for exploration. Athleticism also imo not needed on Thief because Thief can move faster than sprint by spamming dodge light attack and its stamina positive to do so.

Thief is the best class not because of skull splitter, but because of their strong attack on downed enemies. I don't care about killing Dragons faster. Those fights are actually fun. I care about killing Rock lizards faster, and Implicate into pinning them to the ground means you can clear packs of them faster than anyone else. I mean, not as fast as Sorcerers casting maelstrom, but whatever they don't count.

Skull Splitter is way too OP. It completely trivialized the end of the game for me. The first time I faced the final boss of the main game I was a fighter. It was an epic battle that lasted like 20 minutes, and I barely got the win. Second time I fought him using Warfarer with Skull-Split I literally beat him in 2 minutes.

Would Blades of Pyre still hurt and burn you if you equip the Ring of Quenching? This ring is supposed to negate burn. I didn't get a chance to test this out yet, but if it does work, that means you won't have to use Formless Feint... I don't know if that would be beneficial or not because I heard Formless Feint is sort of overpowered.

Solo was my favourite way to play DD1, so looking forward to playing thief in ng+ without pawns. Seems like the one class with a toolkit for all scenarios. Unfortunately, a lot of the vocations don't seem to be geared toward solo (though granted, ive not played spearhand or msgic archer yet so can speak on those). Archer, for instance, is lacking any elemental bows, which will hurt it solo..

Enkindled Blades is good for a pawn. Gives it ability to ignite enemies that can be ignited (run agument from sorc that makes it easier) and also lets pawn oneshot slimes and bloated zombies. Plus griffin and such can't fly away when burned. Good ability for more self-sustained pawns. Lethality augment due to how damage calculates results in about 2% more damage. Might as well run something actually useful (stamina recovery, pdef, mdef).

Is there a reason you don't go for the twin fangs finisher on the dragon heart when it's knocked down? It's not super necessary with this gear, but it's still a huge damage boost in my experience.

Some notes I'd like to point out about Concussive Blast and Smoke Screen: Concussive Blast may not have good utility in combat BUT its use outside it as a traversal skill is fantastic, it functions as a "double jump" when used mid-air. I always have this skill on my character all the time, when I'm not playing with Fighter/Warrior Pawns with the launching skill Concussive Blast helps me get some extra jump height to reach a ledge or something, not only that if you accidentally walk off a cliff you can use Concussive Blast to launch you back onto the cliff, saving your from fall damage/death. Smoke Screen puts just about all small enemy types into a finisher state, meaning press Heavy Attack on the enemies in the smoke screen for an easy kill, this skill is great for clearing out small enemy groups. Meaning smoke screen doesn't need to be used only for escapes, even though it does help with that. I'm still figuring out the mechanics for this skill when used on large enemy types, as far as I can tell, it seems to make climbing them easier...? Not 100% sure about that.

Ok so like a lot of players, looks like you haven't checked what augment gives what when it comes to numbers. To anyone who wants to slot useful augments, Zeal only saves 5% of stam on skill, Lethality increase your dmg to weakspots by only 5% as well and athleticism reduce stam used while dashing by 10%. Whereas Apotropaism from mage gives you 30% increased mag def, Mettle from Fighter gives 30% increased Phys def and Constancy from Sorc gives 30% Knockdown res... Do yourself a favour and don't slot close to useless augments when you have access to those at the very least.

Yup same with “Intrepidity.” On paper it sounds amazing slowing down the cumulative health bar loss. But it only does it by 5% so it’s pretty negligible.

With formless feint we don't need defense.

@@DodgyDamRogue I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. The point I was making is that there's no value in defensive skills here when we're damage immune with formless feint so even the 5% weakspot will be more valuable since we already have a tool to mitigate all incoming damage. Additionally enemies aren't a threat at all past 50 from how fast we kill. Because of this defensive skills don't have as much general value because we're not at much risk of being hit to begin with. I run them on Fighter because "lol mega tank" but they could be 50% and it wouldn't make a difference until we see a hard or insane mode difficulty added. It has nothing to do with not checking numbers, it's that defense just isn't necessary here.

@@FightinCowboy Close to the point I was making tbh, the whole build, as you just explained, evolves around formless feint and not much else. Since you called it an "ultimate guide" some may think you're presenting them with the best options for the thief all around. If there's any player who do not want to play with FF those augments you showcased are absolutely not the BIS ones to grab. Your video is more a specific build guide rather than a class guide which are 2 very different things, but thats just my opinion.

I fell in love with thief when I saw the trailer. Aemond (main pawn) has all vocations maxed out and when he reached the final level of archer, he complained that he felt more useful as a thief. So as his counter part in the TV show I rolled him to thief 😂 My arisen is also a thief but the warfarer she's gonna be a thief/archer or thief/magic archer 😂

@@visionofgrey yes but you can still upgrade them with Dwarven smithing that will boost the magic and the physical damage plus more knockdown, it's better to do that than to get a higher increase in magic damage from elven smithing since most enemies aren't weak to holy damage anyway
