...then why does your two secondary skills include offensive abilities?A lot of people want to be able to steal then stand their ground and fight. It doesn't work like that.
It's fairly important to have a combat ability (wrestling, fencing, or swords) for the added protection against melee attackers. Hopefully with one of these, a melee attack won't hit every time and without one a dexxer is going to land every hit. With only 2 of these you aren't going to be able to go toe to toe with any PvPer, you're going to get killed every single time. All of these abilities are not necessarily offensive with the exception of tactics which you'd only run with a combat skill if you were going to go that route. You could kill something with it, but not a seasoned PvPer. It's more for getting in that cheap kill on someone when they're already red lined....then why does your two secondary skills include offensive abilities?
You could do magery, it's just not my thing. Really, you could do anything with those last 2 skills as long as you remember that the goal is to escape. Magery and wrestling might be a good option.Out of curiosity, why not magery as one of the last two skills? I figured you could do a 100% reagent suit and not have to worry about losing them if you die.
I now use mine as a Sigil thief in VvV towns. That's about as close as I come to using stealing anymore.The only caveat with all this, as others have mentioned, is that there isn't much worthwhile to steal these days with the addition of LRC/bandaid belt/quiver/insurance/etc.
