Quickness Deadeye PVE Build Guide - Guild Wars 2

Quickness Deadeye has reclaimed its rightful place as the highest DPS boon provider in Guild Wars 2. Sit back, relax and get ready to keep every DPS player on their toes!
Update: Binding Shadow is no longer a knockdown despite what the tooltip stays. It's still a boon removal an immobilize though. Shadow Gust is another great alternative skill for CC which will still trigger One in the Chamber for an extra stolen skill.

Binding Shadow isn't a knockdown anymore, the tooltip still lists it by mistake. The only CC it provides is Immobilize which is unimpressive. Could take Pitfall or Shadow Gust instead (Shadow Gust is also handy for its knockback e.g. Seeker Control on Vale Guardian, Rigom push on Samarog).

[@connorconcarne]

Cheers for catching that :) I've added a note in the description to cover that. Also, love all your work on Thief over at Snow Crows! Everyone go and check out Iskarel! www.youtube.com/@Iskarel_GW2

[@Jmvars]

Will be interesting to see if spear can enable a rotation that isn't spamming only one weapon skill, one of the reasons I don't really like thief.

[@belo2.085]

Good Content :) ... my go to is Assa Amulet with full Power Infusion but looks like same result in the end - so nice one with great explanation

[@notrlvnt]

Another great video with great memes to keep things fun! Would love to see a Rifle pistol/pistol build since that’s how would play it but staff seems really interesting as well.

[@Thamnax]

I might change my power daredevil into this so i can provide some boons. Thanks Connor!

[@connorconcarne]

Definitely recommend giving Deadeye a shot. It even uses more or less the same gear as Daredevil (just swap out Relic of the Thief for Relic of the Deadeye and you're good to go). It even uses staff as well.

[@Iskarel_GW2]

You can play Quick DE rotations for a DPS build by using Be Quick or Be Killed grandmaster. Taking the SnowCrows bench with that trait gets 41.9K on the golem, and it’s comfy in real content because you generate a ton of your own Quickness. Never worry about supports not giving enough Quick or Vigor to play Power Daredevil comfortably. XD kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHrapqqXiZusiLcsi=Ses75tgsykaBnmqY

[@arristo4860]

I have a noob question cause I saw you playing Power-renegade in your last videos , how much precision you had without fury(from traits)? As for pve content fractals etc.. (edit) I see 75%

[@Hoxtem]

Do you think this build performs better overall than quickness herald? Love the videos btw!

[@embreis2257]

it doesn't apply its boons neatly in a 600 circle around the Deadeye, does it? the Herald does.

[@user-th1he5zv7u]

this does more damage herald has more boons and utility it really depends on how much you trust the healer in your subgroup

[@connorconcarne]

Quickness Deadeye has significantly higher damage and can slot Invigorating Precision for extra sustain and should still be able to out-damage Herald. Herald offers way wider boon access (both in range and in number of boons). It depends a bit on your Healer as well. If your Healer pumps out a wide range of boons then Deadeye is a great shout. Herald is generally the safer choice though and can 'carry' groups harder.

[@Nathangoossen]

im have a question, what would be the daggers only rotation? thx for any replays

[@KokkeOP]

Same question @ConnorConCarne: I assume it's [Deadeye's Mark] F2 [Shadow Flare] [Heartseeker]x3 F2 + [Mercy] + [Deadeye's Mark] [Heartseeker]x3 Fill with auto. repeat-ish. on staff im around 29k and when swapping to dager i drop to 26k. so i dont see the rotation getting any better.

[@GamerSteam1999]

Nice

[@connorconcarne]

Thanks so much!

[@Drall111]

I would definitively be interested in your take on pistol/pistol deadeye.

[@VamanaGW2]

It's simple and does okay damage but if you're able to play with any additional level of intensity, rifle deadeye will be much, much better. We're talking 30k vs 45k for two builds that ultimately are about spamming the multi-shot ability

[@matthewgarbe7168]

This is probably only ideal in Strikes since you have to have the marked target and it has a 25 second cooldown? I don’t see it working out so well in fractals with dealing with mobs…

[@connorconcarne]

I forgot to mention in the video that your Deadeye's Mark gets reset whenever your marked target dies. So, it's even more hype in Fractals.

[@matthewgarbe7168]

@@connorconcarne now I’m interested! I don’t have a thief yet but maybe I’ll use that extra character from the expansion on one! Thanks

[@Apoz]

Nice video! It's weird to see you talking, because you don't talk with your eyes? So it seems ingenuine. Might be something medical, in that case disregard my comment. Or perhaps it's because you are reading from a script instead of talking into the camera? Or are you using an AI?

[@connorconcarne]

Haha, still getting used to talking on camera 😋

[@Apoz]

@@connorconcarne np content is good!

[@arc-oo5vk]

thief or mesmer?

[@connorconcarne]

This build is for Thief but Mesmer is also a great choice :)
