Ask a Thief Thread.

I have a few questions specifically for you, or rather, about your GoogleDoc Shadower combo document (this one)

For your "Bstep+CE+Nate+5KP" combo, what does the 5KP mean? Use nate only when you get to 5KP?

For your "Bstep+Nate+Dark Sight" combo, I'm assuming Dark Sight belongs between BStep and Nate in the macro?

Yes to both.

Has anyone done calculations for best macros on mobs? Is it even necessary? Some people are saying to use Bstep+Steal, but this doesn't make any sense given that Carnival Edge gives about 0.8 of a ME, which seems like it would be far superior. For mobs do you just use Bstep+CE and ME when possible? I'm going to count out Muspelheim/Phase Dash because it's so impractical - either pushing mobs out of the way when you don't want them to be away, like at SH; or pushing you into the mob, making you take damage; or forcing you to jump+muspelheim, which is stupid.

Is Shadow Partner considered a summon for the purposes of character card? I need to make an S-rank Mechanic on my account for the buff duration, since Shadower Instinct is so annoying to manage, but I'm not sure if I need to make a Jett/Corsair to prolong SP as well.

CE+BS, explode. At lower ranges, you could also throw in an Assassinate once you get to 5 KP. Phase Dash is stupid. Damage calculations aren't really needed.

Don't know about Shadow Partner though.
