Rifle Deadeye Roaming Build

GW2. Rifle Deadeye WvW Roaming Build. Thief WvW.


Last Update: February 2024


Rifle Deadeye is a long ranged burst thief build for WvW roaming. While the Rifle weapon is not as good as the melee thief weapons for chasing kills, it can maintain its damage for longer from a safe position.

Malice is generated whenever you hit the target you cast Deadeye’s Mark on with an initiative costing weapon skill. If they crit, you get 2 malice instead of 1. Higher malice will make your sneak attack from stealth, Death’s Judgment, deal more damage. You should aim to mark a target and then spam the rifle 2 until maximum malice is achieved, then go in stealth by dodging, using the Kneeling Rifle 4 twice for a stealth combo, or using the F2 stolen ability when at 5 malice.

Prioritize landing your Death’s Judgment so that you can burst your enemies and refresh your malice to be able to gain the boons and initiative bonuses again. You can teleport in the middle of your Death’s Judgment animation with Shadowstep to make it harder for enemies to predict or line of sight it. Use the sword to gain extra mobility and to do AoE damage, since the rifle lacks that.

Basic Combo: F1 > Rifle 2 2 2 > Dodge or F2 (stealth) > Rifle 1

Sword Opener: F1 > Sword 2 (In) > Sword 5 > 1 > 2 (Out) > Swap > Rifle 22 > Dodge > 1 > 222 > Dodge > 1
