Frisco addressed this pretty well already. Burglars currently have more reliable access to corruption removal than many other classes. You can initiate a fight by using a nondamaging trick, follow it with Startling Twist, and remove a corruption without ever dealing damage, let alone needing a critical hit.

The burglar has numerous key skills which are tied to its crit chain and are otherwise unavailable. This is not a bug, and in general it improves the speed at which you can remove corruptions while Startling Twist is on cooldown.
