I’m no daredevil expert but I suspect many evade spammers use this trait:

Turn off you axe aa auto cast. Tbh, if they are using that trait you are going to have an impossible time with your traps and torch will give them free procs of that trait.

With all thieves, get them to do the chasing. That’s all I got for you.

This is Min Scherzo’s acro staff build,

They do.
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Daredevil_-_Dagger/Dagger_Condi_Evasion

It’s basically a turret engi. Zero skill involved, they literally just hit 3 over and over and over again, evading everything.

They have the lowest possible health so even a small burst landing will end them, but as a condi ranger that’s tough. Not giving them condi removal is a good start like Justine said. Also you can stall them to prevent their kittenness from reaching your teammates, just focus on holding the point far more than killing them, i.e. lots of CA2. All their damage comes from 1 condi.

I don’t agree its a zero skill build, noobs that use it are very easy to kill, the good ones are another story.
Looking at your build, you have all the tools needed to counter this build. taunt, weakness, stun+immob. Only thing i can advise to you is to try and replace SoS with protect me, it really messes up their rotations. Also, try out different pets, you dont get max value from your WS trait as both of your pets got long CD on F2.

Don’t use traps or Bonfire (because they are pulsing) and turn off your auto attack. The trait most Daredevils use allows them to cleanse conditions when they evade attacks. If you are not attacking, they cannot evade anything → they can’t cleanse.

Once you’ve gotten at least a couple conditions on them, likely via Throw Torch, Splitblade, etc, sheath your weapons and let the conditions do their work for a bit. Re-apply the conditions after they’ve run their course. Also since you’re using Beastly Warden and Wolf, try to save your F2 Fear + Taunt combo for when they’re getting low and trying to kite/escape, then really lay the hurt on them.
