Overview
A power DPS Deadeye raid build. This build deals massive damage against single targets with 
恶意死亡审判 but is very immobile. This restricts the encounters where it can realistically be used. However, it is the optimal build for pylon duty on Qadim the Peerless.
Like its cousin Deadeye - Power DPS D/D, this build relies heavily on allies to provide boons and conditions for 
提前布局 and 
破绽揭露.
For similar builds using other weapons see Deadeye - Power DPS D/D and Deadeye - Power DPS P/P.

Trait Variants
密室死斗 allows you to stay on rifle for much longer without running out of stealth skills. It is still a DPS increase to swap to daggers below 50% health though.
沉默隐望 is worth it instead of 提前布局 in some encounters where high amounts of boons cannot be maintained and you need the extra precision, such as pylon kiting on Qadim The Peerless.

Equipment
- If you do not have stat infusions, switch one accessory to Assassin stats Assassin stats.
- If you regularly swap between using
敏捷纹章 or not, a much simpler gear setup involves using full Berserker stats Berserker stats gear (and full Mighty infusions) and an Assassin stats Assassin stats Amulet. Swap it to Berserker stats Berserker stats if taking 敏捷纹章.
- Otherwise, you want to aim for ~2008 precision if not using 敏捷纹章.

Utility
Usage
Rotation
The goal of the rotation is to maximize your 恶意死亡审判 casts at max malice to maximize DPS. In order to do this you need to carefully line up your skills that grant access to stealth to ensure their cooldowns aren't wasted. Ideally you will always be in 
屈膝 mode during the fight, not being in Kneel is a significant DPS loss.

Loop
The general idea of the rotation is that you use 三弹爆发 3 times and fill downtime with auto-attacks until you are at 7 Malice before stealthing and casting 恶意死亡审判.
Use whichever stealth skills are available at Step 2, with the following priority
Mark & Mercy Burst
When you are out of stealth options, or 怜悯 is about to reach two charges:
You will eventually run out of stealth skills. While you wait for 神枪手标记 to recharge, fill the time with auto-attacks and use 三弹爆发 whenever you're nearly at full initiative.
Dagger Section
If your loop goes on long enough you will eventually run out of stealth skills, and once the target is below 50% health, the extra damage on Heartseeker makes it higher DPS than rifle. In either case, you can switch to Daggers.
The logic on daggers is very similar to rifle:
- When 怜悯 is about to reach two charges, use it and immediately follow up with 神枪手标记. Use
钻心 as many times as needed to get back to full malice.
When no stealth skills are available, instead do:

General tips
- When 刺客纹章 is off cooldown, use it in combination with your next 恶意死亡审判, provided that you will have another stealth skill available for the next loop as well (as this allows you to hit
死亡审判 twice while the buff is active). - Delay casting 刺客纹章 until just before 恶意死亡审判 hits, to give yourself the maximum time to get the second 恶意死亡审判 in.
- Take great care not to break stealth with anything other than 恶意死亡审判 or your DPS will be significantly reduced.
- If the boss is about to die or phase, you can maximise your damage by activating 刺客纹章 and burning all your initiative on 三弹爆发 or 钻心. You should still try to get in one last stealth attack if you can.
- If you are not confident in your rotation, you can retain a charge of 怜悯 to allow for a reset if needed.
- Make sure to have already used your current Stolen Skill before using 怜悯.
