Hi all, I've been lurking here for a while, educating myself on my new rogue (currently only level 31). I know duelist's flurry is supposed to be better than sky flourish, but I am terrible with it.
I PvP exclusively.
I love DF on the Frankensteins, but find myself sorely missing SF when fighting decent CWs/HRs/DCs & other TRs. I simply suck at landing that 3rd strike. I know I need loads of practice to master it, but does anyone have some tips/advice or vids that can help me out? I've been looking for a while & haven't found many good tips other than "practice, practice, and more practice".
Don't try to hit anyone with the first two, load it up while in stealth and far away enough not to be noticed. Hop into them on the third strike. That's the best way to start with getting used to it.
to land a df u need to be in stealth or itc .so until u get lvl 60 gear(t1 pvp 20%more stealth plus feats) its not that easy in low lvl pvp u need to be realy good.
in low lvl pvp u need to use bait so u have more time to land it.like bait,lb,itc or deft.
in t2,5 gear u can land 3 df in stealth in a row.
so there is 2 way to do it:
more difficult one is to jump hit......jump hit... jump hit this way u will cover huge space if u spec saboteur.
easyer is to hit first then jump then hit (second hit comes from up to down) and then jump to last one -once u got this one start the first harder one
practice on dolls.
and a pro tip concentrate on the target not jumping this way u will use it better in real pvp,
eventualy u will get it
Besides "practice, practice, practice" what you need to do is "jump, jump, jump" really.
More seriously, when practicing on training dummies inside trade of blades, imagine that the three dummies is one moving person that tries to kite you as you DF. Jump hit dummy A, jump hit dummy B, jump hit dummy C, in a triangle, and you'll get used to it. When training for distance, slot in Sneak Attack and start the windup from stealth. Begin from the arced entry to the dummy room, and wind your DF so that you can hit the farthest dummy towards the center.
