Power Deadeye

May 2023

Power Deadeye offers strong, sustained single-target damage, and is relatively easy to pick up and learn. This build requires good positioning and encounter knowledge, as constantly flanking enemies will maximize damage from Malicious Backstab and Twin Fangs. Staying out of danger and maintaining above 90% HP also increases DPS via Keen Observer and the final bonus from Superior Rune of the Scholar.

Build Fundamentals

Always position yourself behind enemies to make the most of Twin Fangs.

Using Deadeye's Mark has significant benefits:

• Be Quick or Be Killed gives you Quickness upon marking an enemy.
• Iron Sight increases strike damage on the marked target while reducing the damage you take from the target.
• Deadeye's Mark also provides one Malice stack, and recharges when the enemy dies.

Use Shadow Flare before Cloak and Dagger to make sure you don’t get Revealed before Malicious Backstab.

After you attack an enemy while in Stealth, you are Revealed. Wait to re-stealth with Cloak and Dagger until your Revealed is gone.

If you need to re-apply Deadeye's Mark, do 2 Auto-attack chains instead of 3.

Use F2 as a DPS increase only between Auto-attack chains without interrupting them.
