Budget dagger: stealth into stun
A blue dagger setup for Cataclysm. Open from stealth, confirm the right-click hit into stun, then follow with another right-click, two lights and a heavy. Energy is the main constraint.

Key decisions
Stealth → confirm → stun
Stealth provides the opening damage boost. Confirm the right-click hit before committing the follow-up.
Right-click → light → light → heavy
This is the demonstrated follow-up after the stun, not a promise against every defensive setup.
Reset before energy runs out
Slopes, misses and third parties stretch the fight. Disengage rather than forcing repeated empty-energy combos.
