Strategic Importance
- Reduced Risk: Breaching is loud and dangerous; reducing the time spent prying allows you to secure loot and relocate before attracting unwanted attention.
- Synergy: It is often paired with Gentle Pressure, which reduces the noise generated during breaching, allowing for a stealthier looting playstyle.
- Unlocking Further Skills: Investing in Proficient Pryer is a requirement to unlock the Unburdened Roll skill, which provides a stamina-free dodge roll if your shield breaks.
- Comparison to Alternatives: Some community guides on Reddit suggest that while it is a "must-have" for pure looting builds, players focused on pure combat may prioritize Used to the Weight (shield mobility) or Fight or Flight (stamina recovery) if skill points are limited.
