As usual it’s situational, and requires preparation (and yet another weapon in your bag), but for 1v1 in arenas (or BGs), it can tip the odds in your favour. There are times when you’ll want to sap until your target’s Ice Barrier or PW:S wears of, so if you’re going to be standing around idle you might as well get a couple of free combo points! Camouflage helps, as you’ll be able to restealth quicker.

The trick revolves around how your autoattacks only work on targets in a 90° arc infront of you, while special attacks work in a 180° arc.

No it's not a Pokemon ball...

The trick is to sap your target, then rotate so you can use cheapshot without your autoattacks connecting. For some reason cheapshot does not break stealth, so you can cancel your autoattack and leave combat before sap wears off. Once you are out of combat, you can restealth and benefit from the two combo points you now have on your target.

Unfortunately there’s a catch. It is possible for your mainhand poison to proc on the cheapshot, breaking the stealth. The only way to avoid this is to, yep, use a weapon without a poison on it (or use mind-numbing if you’re feeling flash). Just remember to swap back to your regular weapon afterwards!

If you’re having problems with positioning, I have a macro I wrote that interrupts the autoattack by starting to craft a bandage, but tbh it’s not hard to get the hang of, just keep trying! Unfortunately you won’t be dropped out of combat if you try this on regular mobs, but you can still get used to rotating away from your target.
