Ask a Thief Thread.

Newbie shadower here with a few questions:
Is assassinate a ground-only attack? (Like Boomerang Step and a majority of archer attacks.)

How does Ninja Ambush work? Is it actually a "trap" or is it an on-the-spot mobbing attack?

And finally, should I delete Pickpocket, Double Stab and Disorder from my key configuration?

Thanks in advance.

I just got assaulter yesterday, and yes it works in the air. It's useful in the tornado corridor because if you jump and attack a windraider on the platform above you, you'll tele up to that platform.

Double stab is 100% useless once you get SB. Double Stab does what, 280% total, which SB does 480%. DS is slightly faster, but not enough.

Disorder is also pretty useless. The drop in weapon def. isn't worth it. In fact, you shouldn't even have this skill. The other 1st job skills are much more useful. More avoid/ accuracy is always good, and max Dark Sight is needed because then there's no moving speedreduction.

Pickpocket is useful as long as you have it, I guess. I'd keep it somewhere on a macro/keyboard.
