Clever Retort (level 30)

Confound (level 46)
- Puts an effect on up to 2 targets which acts like a delayed Daze. More CC for tight spots or tricky pulls, only available while in Mischief mode.

Location Is Everything (level 50)

Practical Joke (level 40)

Knives Out (level 42)
- This skill is a more offense-focused version of Touch and Go. It starts with a 360-degree AOE attack and gives you partial damage reflection for 30 seconds. It shines when you’re facing a number of targets and you ‘d rather win than run.
Well Placed Strike (level 40)

Seize Initiative (level 44)
- The first of a pair of Fellowship Maneuver Response Skills. When your fellowship pulls off a successful FM, the skill is enabled and you can use it to reset a few skills for a burst of damage.
Escape Clause (level 48)
- Similar to Seize Initiative, this skill resets the recovery timer on two of the Burglar’s signature panic buttons.
Contact Peddler (level 26)
- Get your Hunter to bring you back to her campsite bind point (level or just run to any campsite yourself) and then use this skill. A vendor is summoned that everyone can use to sell to and lighten your load.
