Guild Wars 2

Watch Sindrener playing deadeye on his stream and every time he say “garbage” take a shot, you will be wasted in less then 5m. Welcome to PoF.

Just to not make an “only rant” post…

What I like of DE:
-The general amount of stealth this spec got (Shadow Gust + Shadow Meld)
-The trait “perfectionist” and his attempt toward a sustained thief
-The trait “maleficent 7” (COOLEST NAME EVER)

What I dislike of DE:
-Rifle AA is garbage
-Rifle 4 too clunky
-Rifle 5 is like an self immobilize
-Cast time on steal
-Stolen item are garbage
-The heal cooldown, way too long
-The fact that I can use DrD w/o staff, but DE w/o rifle is a subpar core thief
-The fact that even with rifle DE look like just a troll spec

I’m not convinced deadeye will have a place in the meta, never mind seeing pro-league play. But in regular ol’ unranked, deadeye is super fun. It takes some getting used to, but if played well it hits like a truck and can really annoy the living crap out of your enemies by constantly kiting around them while building up malice and hitting harder and harder.

Is deadeye good? I wouldn’t know.

Is deadeye fun to play? HELL YES!

That’s more than I can say for the firebrand, which is incredibly bad and incredibly NOT fun to play.
