Low-intensity builds are always dearly appreciated.

[@Duncan55Watson]

I really appreciate the adaptable gear and explanation. Top notch work

[@duckyorwell9416]

dry and cut to the chase video, I like, I'm going to set this up for my thief too

[@mihailnikolov5535]

This is a very good format! Awesome video.

[@PrettyBadAtGames]

Glad you liked it!

[@melovebeef]

Nice video man, I'm gonna set this up on my thief, chill build

[@PrettyBadAtGames]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@aquapendulum]

Just going by the title alone, I'm gonna guess the rotation is something is like F1 -> 333333333.

[@PrettyBadAtGames]

Exactly right! 🤣

[@Mikodemuz11]

Thanks man, awesome! :) really clear video!

[@bedtimestoriessbzz1948]

My man! 🔥

[@PrettyBadAtGames]

Thank you for your continued support! Always nice to see your comments!!

@@PrettyBadAtGames hahaha, I love your content brother! Keep it up!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@Eddricc]

Maaaan, what an amazing video. Yeah, the final rotation is "lazy" but your explanation about each step to reach that laziness is so good that I finally understood concepts I had problem with. Now I can even play with the build to modify to my personal needs. Another thing I lided is that your build uses exotic armor, I ahd problems in the past with other builds because I did not treach certains thresholds of precision for example because I do not have inmediate access to ascended gear. I have a question, what is a critical chance we should aim for? Thanks

[@PrettyBadAtGames]

Thank you! I always saw builds with perfect gear and perfect rotations and thought "I don't have the energy for that". I'm hoping my builds can help people enjoy the game that I enjoy :) For crit chance, the closer to 100% (with fury) the better, but don't sacrifice 500 power to get 100 precision and try to avoid becoming a glass cannon if you (like me) are sometimes too lazy to dodge. [Warning: Math below] With just exotic berserkers gear, trinkets, and weapons on deadeye and no traits, you can hit about 44% crit chance. With basic traits you can hit about 58%, and fury turns that into about 84%. Throw some eagle runes in the armor and you are up to 91% eat a scoop of mintberry swirl (+70 precision, + life steal on crit) and it takes you to 95%. Swap the rings and earrings out for assassins and you are at 99.76% Anything over 80-85% with fury 'feels' good to me, but, play around with this and see what works best for you! :) Hope this helps!

@@PrettyBadAtGames Thakns a lot, the math makes sense

[@4ppleb0ttomjeans]

Love the video that it made me create a new character which is a thief and I haven't played thief ever since I started playing. Kudos! What would you say is best for secondary weapon? While pistol/pistol is the dps?

[@PrettyBadAtGames]

Shortbow is traditionally my utility weapon on thief, since you get access to blast finishers and shadow step!

[@4ppleb0ttomjeans]

What do you think about this build with staff? What traits would you change

[@lhd7105]

Hi, trying to learn something about key-bindings for RPGs ^___^ may I ask what key you use to swap weapons?

[@PrettyBadAtGames]

Hey! I use the middle mouse button to swap weapons. It makes it easy for me. I hope this helps!

[@lhd7105]

@@PrettyBadAtGames Omgosh now I want to know all your keymappings!! >__

[@lolbroo1loll]

How to mark target

[@akkathor]

When do you plan to make SoulBeast? :D

[@PrettyBadAtGames]

Soon! I'm refining the build and testing a few things , and then I'll start recording this week :) Trying to find the right mix of laziness and power so it's fun to play!

[@Phenomatron]

But if youre gonna be lazy why not just be a super tanky condi daredevil and hold 3......wait a minute 3 on this build 3 on that build what is this magic number

[@user-rd5in4ik5p]

Because rifles are sexy. I've been playing lazy Deadeye (with Deadly Arts instead of Shadow Arts, though) since POF released and it gives me both leeway to have fun instead of focusing on upkeeping rotation or doing difficult combos, and using rifles is really neat (plus 4 while standing is good for keeping distance if necessary).

[@Phenomatron]

@@user-rd5in4ik5p I use deadly or trickery depending on what i feel i need for the area i also go all signets for passive buffs and use the recharge on kill trait to spam dagger storm since it works on white mobs like random bugs n shit. I used thief runes before but will go back to scholar and use the 10% when u dodge an attack or thief relic
