Overview

A PvP Deadeye build focused on dealing extreme strike damage within the window granted by Be Quick or Be Killed. To do this, it trades away much of its own survivability, relying instead on killing targets and escaping before too much damage is dealt to them.

Utility

Viable choices for the optional slot:

• Smoke Screen - long-duration stealth access, incidental projectile hate and weakness.

• Infiltrator's Signet - better mobility, helps with a second chance at bursting a mark if your first attempt fails.

• Signet of Shadows - on-demand stealth and a passive movement speed bonus. Considerable if you want to swap to a different Rune.

• Prepare Shadow Portal - extremely powerful map control tool when used right, but you have to sacrifice a utility slot for no real combat benefits. Shadow Portal lets you enter fights or get decaps from half a map away.

Heal Each of these three are good in different scenarios, pick whichever you think will be best for the match.

• Malicious Restoration - shorter cast than Hide in Shadows, transfers conditions, good base healing.

• Withdraw - solid defensive heal, worse general condition cleanse.

• Hide in Shadows - adds more stealth access to the build but it's a harder healing skill to pull off under pressure than Withdraw.

Elite

• Dagger Storm - similar to Withdraw, acts as a panic button that can help you avoid damage when pressured but causes your burst to be much less reliable.

Usage

Deadeye basics

• Steal is replaced by Deadeye's Mark, which has greater range. We're still going to refer to this as Steal.

• Stolen skills are also replaced by new ones for each profession, although these are much less situational and can be used more freely. One thing to note is that you cannot pick the target freely for the new stolen skills, they will always be used on your marked target (even if they are in stealth, which can be useful for finishing off low HP stealthed targets).
  • If you want to know more about these skills, here's a list of them from the official wiki.

• Your specialization resource is called Malice. It's built through using attack skills with an initiative cost on your marked target and you can have up to 5 stacks of Malice. Stealth attacks such as Malicious Death's Judgment consume Malice and become more powerful with higher Malice stacks.

• At the 3 Malice threshold stolen skills such as Steal Health grant Stealth on activation, which is going to be their primary purpose - but be wary that they also do damage, so if you were already in stealth these will reveal you instead. There is a workaround for this however: stolen skills need line of sight (LoS) to deliver damage, if you intentionally break LoS then you can use them for the stealth without drawbacks.

General

• The burst combo is Cloak and Dagger > Deadeye's Mark DURING the cast of C&D > Malicious Backstab > spam Heartseeker or stolen skills if target is out of range.

• Use Mercy for a second burst attempt.

• You can also use Heartseeker > dodge roll > Malicious Backstab if Silent Scope is taken. This is possible because Malicious Backstab refunds 1 malice with Malicious Intent.

• Focus on bursting isolated or fleeing targets if possible. If you can't, consider spamming Cluster Bomb until Deadeye's Mark is up again for another burst attempt.
