@deathssavior1577 As others have said, it is a focus based skill (like your rift ability), you must have at least one full focus bar to use it. Whether you're using a bow or daggers does not matter. Focus abilities are not intended to be able to be used often, you save it for when you really need it. There are also inquisition perks (from the war table) to increase your focus bars from 1 to 3.

Please use your existing thread instead of continuing to create new ones, it will not get a faster response and clutters the board. I have combined your last two into one thread, and left the other since it was marked as solved with a different question answered.

As posted earlier....you can't use 1000 cuts because you don't have a dagger on your character, you have a bow equipped. Put on a dagger and you can then use the skill.....1000 cuts, not 1000 arrows.....

@mcsupersport Is this something that was patched out? I googled Thousand Cuts and I see several comments stating it should work with a bow as well. I also found this video which demonstrates it.

@mcsupersport I am sorry I haven't made a archer in a long time I didn't know I do that. Can I use Sabotage and Supterfuge for archer?

  @deathssavior1577 Seriously who the hell made it not possible to use it, I did use it once but I used once and now I doesn't work, I never had this trouble before the new version. Mcsupersport I do not know anything new.

    Ok, maybe I was thinking of a different skill.....Thousand Cuts is a focus based skill, in the Tempest tree....I was thinking a different game maybe...
    
    Best guess is you don't have enough focus to use the skill, Focus is shown by the gold bars just above your skill hotkeys. So if you don't have a full bar or three, then you can't use the skill. In your first picture you definitely don't have enough focus, and in the second, I can't tell, but you may still not. So fill the bar up and see if it is usable, but it is basically a one shot ultimate power and not a every fight thing...which is one reason I rarely use my focus skills, or base a build on them, cause my luck is I will really really need it and it is not available..
