Triggering Bat Earings with blind pots is up to you. Mixing in just enough evasion to either cap or be safe with shadows and keeping normal tp gear on otherwise or [[Subtle Blow]] gear to stop tp moves. Notebly with the Dragon +1 gear theif can cap Subtle blow at +50 while sub ninja.

			= Defenses and Basics of play =
			Thief's core gameplay loop is the acquisition of TP and the use of that TP with Sneak attack or Trick attack. By the fuction of Trick attack Thief has a very hard time holding hate from other DD. Understanding what gear choices to make while being attacked are still valuable for solo and when you are using tools to focus hate on yourself. The first part of being attacked is Auto attacks. Dealing with auto attacks can be done with shadows Evasion or PDT gear. The timing for this is hard to react to so you normally hold these sets when trying to lower damage taken.

			TP moves and Spells however you can be proactive with. understanding that TP moves are normally not random and spells are timed helps to pre pop defenses to take far less damage. Monster TP moves and influenced by the amount of TP they have the amount of HP they have left and the range the target of the TP move is at. The lower the monsters HP the less TP they require to use TP moves. Meaning attacks that lower monster HP% by a large amount with almost always trigger a TP move. understanding this and toggling Evasion or PDT for physical dangers MDT for magic TP moves or even breath damage for breath attacks BEFORE you weapon skill can cause the resulted TP move to be much less damaging. Some TP moves can be out ranged as well so knowing this you can move after Weapon skilling to interrupt the monsters TP move. The Sets to look for with these stats are the [[Darksteel Harness +1 Set]] for PDT, the [[Merman's Harness Set]] for MDT, and the [[Dragon Harness Set]] for BDT and Subtle Blow.

	It is generally recommended to have three different TP sets. I will separate them into a Low, Medium, and High [[Accuracy]] sets. You can obviously mix and match these items as you see fit. Just try to reach 95% acc whenever possible. Thief uses one handed weapons that have major accuracy problems so ~~sushi~~ is basically the only [[food]] you will use. Needing upwards of 500 [[Accuracy]] to hit major targets makes capping [[Accuracy]] a huge part of play.		It is generally recommended to have three different TP sets.
