    Power Rifle Deadeye PvP Build

    By Vallun25 August, 2021Updated:15 February, 20255 Comments3 Mins Read PvP Builds

    GW2. Power Rifle Deadeye PvP Build. Roamer Thief PvP.


    The Power Rifle Deadeye is a Roamer thief PvP build that deals heavy damage to single targets with the rifle and uses cantrips and dodging to gain stealth for the sneak attack Death’s Judgment. While it is very mobile and hard to catch, it is mostly projectiles that can be countered by line-of-sight and reflect.

    Use Kneeling Rifle 4 to create a Sniper’s Cover, walking into this will change your Rifle 4 into a port which will stealth you. Constantly use this combo to travel around the map safely. An easy way to always place the Sniper’s Cover below you is to put your mouse over UI (skill clicking counts as this) and use the ability that will place it directly underneath you and instantly allow the stealth combo.

    Dodging will grant you stealth while wielding the rifle and stealth will allow you to use the Death’s Judgment (Rifle 1) to burst targets, dealing more to targets you have generated malice on. Malice is generated by hitting the target you marked with your F1 with skills that cost initiative. Critical hits with these skills generate twice as much malice.

    Another way to enter stealth is by using the stolen ability (F2) you get from marking a target (F1) while you have at least 5 malice against a target. You can also gain these stolen abilities by casting cantrip utility skills. Since Mercy resets your F1 and gives you a stolen ability, always use F2 right after Mercy so that you don’t overwrite the stolen ability on your F1 which you just recharged.

    The Shadow Gust utility skill can also be a great CC because it knocks enemies away from you, and your marked target will be launched, CCing them for a long enough time to land your burst. It can also move downed bodies, preventing them from being revived.

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

    Extended Opener: F1 > Sword 2 > 5 > 1 > 3 > 3 > 2 (out) > Swap > Mercy > F2 > F1 > Rifle 222 > Dodge > 1 > 222 > Dodge > 1 >

    Swap to Sword for the Unblockable effect on Sword 3 or when projectiles won’t be effective against reflect.

      Is this up to date? Sept 2023
      If so I’m curious as to why you pick Maleficent 7 over Be Quick of be killed. From my (limited) experience it feels like landing Death’s Judgement is a little unreliable to land. Isn’t the flat buffs better?

        flat buffs that only last 2 seconds? If you get stolen into by a deadeye and then dodge, you already avoided most of that buff

      I’m confused how fireworks relic works when none of the thief weappn abilities have a cooldown

        Fireworks triggers off of the activation of Deadeye’s Mark, works the same way w/ steal on daredevil/core or siphon on specter.

      This is quite literally the most easily countered, worst thief build out there. Every meta class in the game has a deflect, and the dodge stealth is so short that the second you dodge stealth u either attack(incredibly predictable), or run away but the spec has 0 mobility so ur not getting far. Why is this ranked meta?
