  • Do all WS stack with Sneak?

    Well I did some search and found out most use Fast or Combo pre lvl 33, but can I stack sneak with every single WS there is, or just some? What about dagger WS? All of them stack? Thanks for your relies.

    Physical weapon skills (Fast Blade, Combo, Wasp Sting are some of these) stack with Sneak.

    Elemental Skills do not. Examples are Gust Slash, Burning Blade, and Red Lotus Blade.

      If a ws gives you back TP when you hit with it, then yes you can stack it with sneak

        Thats actually a clever way of working it out

          Bow WS's give TP back and do not stack with sneak attack.

            Wasp sting does not stack. Viper bite is the first dagger one that does. Actually, from dagger, I believe only Viper Bite, Dancing Edge, Shark Bite and think Mantis Slash (not positive on the name of that last one).

            Truth be told I haven't even gotten specifics on the last WS. Ways down the line, though.

              Well ... ok ... but normal ranged attacks don't stack with sneak anyway, so it's a given that bow ws's wouldn't either

              Wasp Sting probably stacks with sneak ... but you probably won't see any increase in damage over a normal sneak attack because wasp sting in itself is just a normal damage attack (with poison) with no damage multiplier.

                Wasp Sting and Shadowstitch Stack with Sneak Attack and Trick Attack however. Gust Slash does not.

                As mentioned, Physical damage WS stack with ST where as elemental ones do not.

                  heh, this post made me rethink my gilfarming strategy as drk/thf... i had been using sneak+slice, but the damage was really unpredictable. so yesterday i tried sneak+nightmare and it worked \(^o^)/ i never sub thf for leveling, so it never occured to me to try it. adds a nice 60-100 dmg bonus and blinds the mob. now i'll havev to go back to monk and see if it stacks with backhand blow...

                    Wasp Sting and Shadowstitch do stack with Sneak... but since they are just normal attacks with added effect, the damage will be the same as a normal Sneak Attack.

                        When you do Wasp Sting without SA, the damage is... sad.

                        When you do Wasp Sting with SA, the damage is the same as a SA, and the SA icon goes away when you hit (unlike Gust Slash).

                          Actually, when I was in Yoahtar (fighitng mandargonas(sp)), Was Sting did a large amount of damage, more than a normal sneak attack.

                          I was quite impressed that it did so well.

                            Level 250 Dagger WS (THF) is Evisceration (5 hits)

                            I'm pretty sure it stacks with SA since its multi-hit. Dont have it yet, but I'll know for sure in a week or so.

                              When i farm with my paladin I can SA + Fast blade for over 500 which is pretty good for a paladin. IMO
