I like DI. I usualy use it twice at the start of a round. But i save my third smoke bomb for tactical sitautions, yeah sometimes i will use it just to DI a runner, but other times its best to save it. I just cant see how focusing too much on DI will do anything but cost you points in the long run.
Of course if you max smoke bomb you have extra DI per round. But still, having those combo points waiting for use just seems more reliable to me because you are killing mobs and getting points while holding them.

yeah, I usually save my last smoke in R5 too, in earlier rounds it matters a bit less since no smoke --> kill some mobs, and it's fairly easy to advance anyway
A problem with R5 though is that it's rare to be fighting anyone in the first 30 seconds - 1 minute, and since 3/3 smoke bomb CD is 2 minutes (120--> 95 after vigor), you don't really get to use it twice
I dunno how to play around this, I've tried a few things, like just blindly initiating on someone, just so that I can:
1) have a "chance" of a kill first 30s
2) reveal all the hiding people, I feel like it gives us an edge since we can hide in combat
3) get my smoke + dirty CD coming back at ~0:45 - 1:00 remaining (for 2 more smokes in the last minute)
It doesn't work so well cause you almost always get a DOT on you, and you'll likely die... but sometimes it works.
I also don't know how to manage poring buffs in R5... to stay invis... or to potentially get 3x dmg... I tried a few things but I don`t have anything reliable yet. This turned into a colo thread >_>

Sometimes in round 5 if nothings happening i just walk around spamming meteor assault hoping to uncover someone.
My round 5s are usualy dedicated to preventing the assassin or ranger from winning, because those classess annoy me, i occasionally win while doing this.
