Notes

Cheap Shot is seen as a crucial stun lock ability in PvP. Using [Vanish] makes it possible to use Cheap Shot twice in one combat.
To get full use after vanishing, make sure you Cheap Shot as soon as possible since your opponent will see you if you are still in point blank range. Note that this is possible even with periodic damage if timed correctly.
