Rifle Deadeye Open World Build

GW2. Best Open World Build. Rifle Deadeye. Thief PvE.

---

---

The long range of the rifle allows Deadeyes to snipe single targets from afar with extremely potent burst and sustained damage. This open world Thief build prefers to hit single targets but can also swap to the Sword/Pistol and use Pistol Whip to handle large groups of enemies.

After marking your target with F1 Deadeye’s Mark, you gain Malice when using initiative costing attack skills against them. Usually your Rifle 3 skill will be used to gain Malice. Once you have maximum Malice you’ll gain many boons and to gain these boons again you need to reset your Malice by landing Death’s Judment. To use Death’s Judgment (1) you need to enter stealth. Either cast your F2 while at 5 or more Malice or dodge to gain stealth. Repeat this process until the target is dead and then F1 the next target.

Skill Combo:

• F1 > Rifle 333 > Dodge > 1 > 333 > F2 > 333 > Dodge > 1

You only gain stealth from dodging while using the Rifle, but you can still reset your initiative when using the Sword with Mercy.
