The Burglar is a stealth-based class that excels at positional damage*, crowd control, and battlefield manipulation.
Using stealth and a variety of tricks, Burglars are able to debuff enemies, create openings for themselves and their allies, and deliver high burst damage when conditions are favorable. While not designed to withstand prolonged direct combat, the Burglar relies on careful preparation, timing, and awareness to control engagements and avoid unnecessary retaliation.

This guide will focus on "Redline" (The Quiet Knife) which relies on the crit chain granting buff Critical Response
*SSG may remove positional damage reliance. What we know can be found here
I wanted to adress strategy in more detail here.
More then one entry point grants Critical Response: what does that mean?
Critical Response is not the only thing to consider during an engadgement. [Double Edge] Strike for example has long been the "Bread & Butter" of burglar's DPS many skills have added multipliers after this skill is used. The skill [Flashing Blades] is one of the burglar's most usefull AoE attacks. It target 5 enemies and has 3.5s cooldown is enabled only after double edge strike is used.
[Exposed Throat] does the most single target damage it is activated by both [Double Edge Strike] and Critical Response.
