What class are you? What build do you use? Make sure if you’re targeted by a riflemen to either dodge or stand still they do a ton of dmg to moving targets. You’ll see a red ring around your character when you’re being targeted.
ima hazard a guess from the name and say ele? If so use swirling winds and a bunch of other projectile stopping skills. If u got a guardian in the team, have him use wall of reflection/shield of the avenger etc.

sorry just fustrated a bit. no im a thief d/d and SB and right now im 20/16/20/0/0 and right not its a HS build what build is best for this dungeon?
The only time you want to bust out your daggers is for single targets, the rest of the time shortbow is much better. Especially considering it applies aoe weakness with 15 points in deadly arts, use smokescreen to protect yourself from all the projectiles.
okay should i be building more tanky? my armour mainly has power/precision
As a thief you aren’t very tanky. If you can’t correctly use your dodges and skills to minimize damage, use an armor that grants toughness and vitality to allow you to survive a bit longer in order to give yourself more time to learn how to correctly survive.
And then depending on the team you have and the skills they use, this dungeon can either be really easy or really annoying.
Thief has a rough time in CM, in part because SB and Pistols have a range of 900 (1200 on SB skill #2) but the Riflemen have a considerably longer range. There are some things that will help:
1) Smokescreen stops projectiles, use it when there are riflemen ahead and it can help significantly.
2) Shadow Refuge. Stand in it until the ring disappears, then use stealth to close to melee range of a target and go nuts w/ D/D. Useful in limited situations, but handy to know how to do.
3) Daggerstorm reflects projectiles, use it as a gap closer when needed.
It takes time getting to know the dungeon, and given the choice, I’ll take my guardian to CM over my Thief because Wall of Reflection > Smoke Screen, but the thief is still viable in the dungeon.
Hope that helps, and GL!
Also, always be moving as a thief. Whenever you fight something up close be sure to strafe around it as you do. Use your right mouse button to aim at the enemy while you move left or right and dodge when you see something painful is coming your way mate.
