Guild Wars 2

I know all the cool kids run condi builds now, but that style doesnt appeal to me. If I have a rifle, I sure as hell dont want to be watching poison damage kill someone. I want big hits. So will power gear be where its at?

Deadeye has like zero condis (or very few, anyway) in its kit, so power is the way to go with it. Rifle skills hit stupidly hard.

Condition Deadeye will be very strong but so will power Deadeye.

Plenty of people will use their rifles for power though. As mentioned the riflecan hit very hard with the right traits.

You can definitely go conditions with rifle. Kneel2 with quickness piles on poison really fast.
