I wish kneel/4/4 combo on rifle wasn't so finicky. Like you have to stand in the exact right spot to get stealthed. Also, should kneel go from 2->1 initiative cost?
Honestly... Rifle isn't bad on a Core or a Daredevil. And it's 'ok' on a specter. Where rifle is basically a primary weapon on deadeye, you use it as a secondary option on thief. The rifle offers good long range damage and poke. And a cheaper shadowstep that can still be aimed. As well as an immobilize. On dd, you can abuse your mobility to reposition pretty quickly and keep people at range. From a kneeling position, you can actually use bounding dodger's leap finisher on skill four to gain stealth. For core thief, you can abuse your access to a second trait line like deadly arts making this weapon a pretty decent hybrid weapon build for condi and power.
I’ve only ever seen 1 other Staff Deadeye! Been running it since day 1 and it’s so much fun. Can be a little rough in sPvP due to 1vX but 1v1 it is awesome. Only build that’s smoked me is a Hammer Cata
I will have to try staff deadeye. Thief was my first character but I have since left it because it underperforms in open world content compared to most of the other professions.
Play staff DE since I first got the expansion. Haven't actually tried Rifle DD, but regarding costs shouldn't it be nearly equal? I mean you got 3 ini average cost for kneel+sniper's cover- bound- death's judgement. and skill 3 has the same ini cost as death blossom. So to me it looks like Rifle dd should feel like vanilla DE, where you dodgeroll a distance while kneeling.
@@spudzie9117 I find it pretty ironic since dd is supposed to be the dps spec, but doesn't work with rifle, a relativly highdmg weapon. Like Deadeye overall more because of how you go for high malice. dd and specter don't really have that way of play. dd has no way to getting ini and specter meanwhile can get a bit ini with stealth via shroud, but haven't actually enjoyed it as a dmg build. What's sad is also that Specter is the closest the game has got to original shadowform assasins, but relying on shadow shroud to enter stealth seems a bit unreliable as you pretty much have to leave it immediatly in order to even use an ambush skill.
What build do you want to see a video on?

As a Heal Specter main, Im super stoked i can use scepter to run a super meme heal quick deadeye build 😂

I didn’t even know it costed initiative while playing. It should def go down if it actually costs 2
Deadeye with Staff and Rifle is THE combo i've been waiting for, it's the perfect feel IMO if you don't want the usual "d/d or s/d" combo.
Honestly...

Do you have wvw build for specter using rifle or staff?

On that clip with the specter staff what build were you using?
how do you do weapon master?
Im an old player and I can't seem to fix match weapons and specialization.
is this a wvw thing only? can I use it in pvp?
Scepter dagger Daredevil is sooo much fun 🎉😊

Scepter 3 (Twilight Combo) is so nasty strong. Lucky thieves.
DD with scepter is fun...criting for 7k and 2 shotting ppl.

While that’s true the cost is the same, the damage isn’t comparable, and losing utility stealth by not being Deadeye feels bad.

Rejoice 😊 a thief video 😁📸
Staff, Sword and Dagger Commander. ching ching
could I ask for your staff build on this video?
Have you tried Rifle Daredevil though?
Yeah it felt lackluster
Can dual pistol and staff work?
I’ll try it out. But I’d think so.
@@spudzie9117Thanks!!!!
@@RicoZaid_ no it doesnt, they have bad synergy
i doo thing staff need a 2,3,4 skills rework...and also stelth attack should be reworked..i dont think staff can compete with the rest of thief's kit
I hate weaponmaster in general. They should've rather go with another subclass and let us use 2h sword.
