Guild Wars 2

I’m super excited to play a deadeye in PoF. I’ve already made an ascended rifle for my character, but now I wanna make my second weapon, only… I don’t know what that is. Is there anyway to say with a modicum of certainty what the opimtal pve (fractal and dungeon) and wpvp alternate weapon will be? I’m thinking sword + pistol but really unsure if there’s some synergy I’m forgetting. D/D would be better dps but I’m not sure if I should prioritize that over utility. I also saw some success with short bow in PVP for the mobility. Thanks, please let me know what you would craft if you were in my shoes!

If I were a betting man I’d say staff

Oh sorry I should have specified, I already have an ascended staff for DrD but can’t use that while specced to Deadeye so unfortunately need to pick up a new off weapon.

Sword or Dagger IMO. You can mainhand sword, or mh dagger. D/P is good for dps and roaming, sword provides more utility for fracs and WvW unless you need/want blinds. It really depends on your play style.

I’d personally make a sword since I’m a fan of S/D.

You have about a month. If you start now, you can actually rush “The Predator” and have it just in time assuming you just craft the weapon instead of buying it.

Im a bit torn as I have the predator but idk how effective itll be in PoF pve. Sure you have good opening burst on single target, but after that u have little ini left and lower upkeep on dmg, whereas on staff, dagger or sword u can at least keep plowing 3+ mobs all the time with autos. Rifle is a one trick pony, a gimmick, in its current iteration.
