Overview

A power DPS build for Deadeye in raids.

Deadeye's weakness is that it is lacks cleave damage or any utility other than . It is also heavily reliant on allies providing boons and conditions for and respectively. This means it works best when surrounded by other DPS classes that can cover its shortcomings.

For variants using other weapons see Deadeye - Power DPS Rifle and Deadeye - Power DPS P/P.

Usage

Rotation

Opener

  1. x2
  2. x3
  3. Auto Attack chain
  4. Stolen skill


Loop

After the opener, the basic loop is:

  1. x2
  2. (if available)
  3. Auto Attack chain
  4. (if available)
  5. (if available)


Assassin's Signet burst

After using , your next loop is slightly different:

  1. x3
  2. Auto Attack chain
  3. Stolen skill

This deals more damage than your regular loop, but requires a stolen skill. Thus you only do this burst while under the effects of .

Notes

  • It doesn't matter if you use before or after the auto chain in each loop, so go with whatever feels most comfortable.
  • , and all have different cooldowns, so each loop may be slightly different depending on which are available.
  • has a slightly longer cooldown than so eventually you will have no stolen skill available for the burst. In this case, just do the normal loop.
  • has a long cast time and it will be interrupted by if you use it too early, so make sure to finish the cast.
  • Below 50%, if the boss is about to phase, you can use up any excess initiative by spamming - Just make sure to leave yourself enough initiative for if you will also have time for another ! Above 50%, is lower DPS than the auto chain.
  • This rotation is highly susceptible to lag, as you need to be fitting and in between the pulses of . If this is likely to be a problem, bring as your elite, and quickly use it to re-enter stealth in the event that reveals you before you can use .
  • / (if you're running it)should be used whenever available.
  • Make sure you're always flanking (attacking from behind or the sides) the boss to maximize the damage dealt with backstab. If you cannot consistently flank the boss consider swapping to another DPS build.


Break bars

  • should be cast while you are standing in melee range of 5 allied units (mesmer illusions, ranger pets and necromancer minions all count towards this).

4 stars
OfficerAndyGentleman gave this build 4 stars • November 2022
Very high DPS if you can pull off the rotation, but basically 0 cleave and easily disrupted by lag or missing a crit. Fortunately the damage is high enough that you work around this and still do respectably.
5 stars
Chinkeeyong gave this build 5 stars • September 2018
The highest single-target DPS in the game. Best in slot on a number of bosses.
