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).
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
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.
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.
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 ruclips.net/video/2IwuwaT6yRU/видео.htmlsi=Ses75tgsykaBnmqY
personal preferences, for me it's reason why I love thief and deadeye. Don't wanna ruin rp and switch weapon every 7-12 seconds as weirdo. Hero who obsessed with weapon swapping =/ kinda ocd
I really liked thief staff, found kinda godly pvp build what works on pve too. Its so fun to combo your 2+3 skills together. I like the 3+2+3 to be nastsy, first you leap in with 3, do most damage with 2 (or 3 if need healing) and finish with 3 that grants you stealth, regardles if you hit target or not. That combinet with daredevil long Dodge almost unkillable
Ok,...sooo I'm a newbie but I do like experimenting, can I trade weapon swap for dagger pistol or pistol-pistol ? I would like some range options when things go hairy 😄
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.
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%
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.
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
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…
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?

Really great video man, been wanting to try this spec on my thief and you broke down everything in a way that’s very easy to understand

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

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.

how can you always steal time? For me its sometimes steal warmth and others.
If you take the trait Fire for Effect, you'll always get Steal Time.

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

Should be 75% because Power Ren doesn't run Rolling Mists.
@@sanguin3 danke
why not use iprovisation insted of executioner? cause you get double use for you f2 and cd reduction. you can just kill mobs with that combo alone
Do you think this build performs better overall than quickness herald? Love the videos btw!
it doesn't apply its boons neatly in a 600 circle around the Deadeye, does it? the Herald does.

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

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.
@@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
Nice
Thanks so much!
Nice video!

Haha, still getting used to talking on camera 😋
@@connorconcarne np content is good!
thief or mesmer?
This build is for Thief but Mesmer is also a great choice :)
