Sounds like a good set-up, I wish I had audacity
Yea I got lucky getting it about a week after people started mentioning it here. Though I was using the same build before I got it, you just may not kill the whole group with broadside. In that case you can run in after and use the aoe dagger move to finish them off and gain elusive.
Yup and thats the problem i'm finding, I need a second power to generate elusive. How are you generating vendetta with broadside exactly? I find broadside often kills a group of enemies outright but when it doesnt I never acctually see vendetta being placed on enemies?
Get the passive that has vendetta spread to a new guy when original guy dies. Broad side is great for wiping out enemies...on perilous less people die...so having them marked is nice.
I'm currently using Keelhaul, broadside, flashing steel and bolt but i'm thinking of dropping broadside for flank attack which gives you 2 elusive for every kill
You get 2 elusive just for hitting a dude w flank attack. No need to kill them.

Broadsides marks all secondary targets with Vendetta.
It will usually shred all minion level targets but will leave and mark anything larger, this works very well with the Walking Bomb effect. The Dr. is doing it similarly with Audicity I believe and I hadn't thought of that, probably because I may have Salvaged all items that level and instead I use Walking Death in my off hand for Walking Bomb at 50%.
If they ALL die, great, but in my experience, I will wipe a portion of the field, but if it's a congested area of Ferelden Castle then it's not uncommon that the REST of the field ends up with Vendetta spreading to them as either they die to the Walking Bomb effect or even to other players attacks.
A field full of Vendetta marked targets are taking more damage due to Black Mark and more importantly to me, I can charge a cluster of 3-4 enemies all marked and even if I lose a couple of Elusive on the way in, I can Flashing Steel right back to full Elusive and if I'm already out of Elusive, using Ambush to close fast then hitting Flashing Steel lets me play aggressively no matter what my Elusive status starts at.
So, for me, Broadsides serves the dual purpose of a shredding AoE attack and setting up the opportunity to take advantage of more Elusive.
I think I need a good stamina amulet.
So stamina or cooldown amulet?
Stamina. A million times stamina. You can get the passive where each attack on a marked target lowers cooldowns.
You can spam the crossbow like a mad man if you use the stamina amulet.
Just got audacity from a treasure room gonna have to give it a go

This. Why say hello to enemy units that will be gone ever so soon cuz of all that stamina?
BOOM! (replace parry with ambush, or skill of your choice, in a team environment)
I refuse to play the duelist until I get that stupid Audacity dagger.. because it just seems like if you don't have that dagger you're playing an extremely gimped duelist.
Sadly, my item score, being probably maxed out, is working against me now.. it is probably more likely for me to find a Blade of Red Birth than a low level 10 unique Audacity.
I can't remember if I had and salvaged an Audacity now. Do level 10 items even drop when you have maxed out item score?
Also, hory sheet, Isabella is a more fun archer than the actual archer classes. Bolt/Broadside is so satisfying to cast.
Does the bolt upgrade even work? I don't see a buff icon for it, it doesn't affect itself, and I could have sworn I saw non-crit Broadsides/Flashing steels after getting a crit with it.
Is there a duration on the buff? Does it consume its own buff even if it doesn't benefit from it?

Yes, because I got about 4 of them within the past month or two. I salvaged my first audacity(s) too.

Not really. I just showed off explosions are fun to everyone.

You don't have the slightest clue about the duelist then.
All you need is Isabella's magic touch

On topic: I was facing the hard choice between Flank Attack and Ambush, in the end I chose the latter, while FA has better cooldown and provides Elusive more reliably, I need Ambush to get Unyielding passive so those Shadows on FC zone 3/4 don't one-shot me.

And my gameplay is garbage? ;P
Looks fun, too bad I scrapped it thinking it's awful :/ My inventory is full after like 2 chests now and I've gone through and deleted loads of low level purples/armour upgrades/runes. I'd really like to see more inventory space with the introduction of these new weapons and future weapons.
Hmm. Isabella does an excellent job of reminding me why I hate the 4 skill limit 
Broadside gave me some trouble under lag conditions, i.e. not generating vendetta properly.
The best way for me was to mark vendetta with the basic crossbow skill, "detonate" with flank attack to generate 2 elusive (skill upgrade), use excessive elusive with that Swashbuckle damage skill and amaze at her doing backflip rolls with gangway.
While flank attack can , too, have issues i found it more reliably than the swirling dagger thing.
I also tried to substitute the basic crossbow skill for the chain-together (Keelhaul?) which is hilarious fun but it totally gimped her because the basic skill is a NO CD spell. And I appreciate that too much to pass up.

You'll get it again sooner or later.
If your gameplay means corpse explosions everywhere, it may be garbage, but getting dirty can also be fun.
Okay...so what is the best offhand then? My main is dragon dagger (obviously) I'm not at my Xbox so I'll describe as best I can remember.
I know ability damage uses main hand...but I do a fair amount of basic attacks as well.
Currently I have my offhand weapon:
406 DPS
5% Heal on kill
10% chance to apply poison
+14% crit damage
+15% attack (I think)
+5% crit chace
Might be a stagger ability there too.
I like the heal on kill and crit/attack passives...some of these come from the grip.
I also have the dagger that has 10% chance to apply walking bomb, 393 DPS, no grip slot
I have 10% chance Hidden Blades (3 extra hits). 306 DPS, no grip slot. (I'm leaning toward using this one)
I have audacity too...but it's low DPS. Is the explosion worth it or is it just a "this looks cool" thing?
