Deadeye - Quickness Support Power DPS
The community gave this build a rating, making it top-tier: Great
Focused on: Direct damage and Support
Designed for: Raids
Overview
A fast-paced Deadeye build that provides Quickness by alternating between cantrips and the stolen skill. This provides permanent
Fury and ~22 stacks of
Might, but nothing else. This makes the build a rather niche pick and mostly for existing Deadeye fans.
Skill Bar

Staff and Daggers are used in combination for maximum DPS, but if preferred you could only use one of these, leaving the second set free for utility:

- Rifle is also a useful option to maintain damage should you be unable to melee the boss.
