Deadeye - Quickness Support Healer

Skill Variants

The default utility skills for this build prioritize initiative generation and more uses of 汲取时间 thanks to 密室死斗 and 致命火力, you can swap out any of them for the following utility:

• 渗透纹章 provides a minor amount of initiative regeneration, and can be activated for a small heal via 暗影救星.
• 致盲药粉 can be ran with 暗影庇护 to provide higher 保护 uptime, but using it stealths allies. This will mess with other deadeyes in your group and so should be avoided if they are present.
• 暗影庇护 - The most potent utility skill for burst healing, but on a long cooldown. Comes with the same caveats as 致盲药粉.
• If more breakbar damage is needed, you may find 石蜥毒液 valuable.

Utility

Harrier stats gear is used for maximum healing power and boon duration.

• Tanking on this build is not recommended, but you can swap in as many Giver stats or Minstrel stats pieces as necessary.

Quickness, Fury and Might

Thanks to the 致命火力 trait, every stolen skill you gain becomes 汲取时间, which gives 急速, 激怒, and 威能 to allies around you. The trait 密室死斗 will give you a new stolen skill every time you cast a Cantrip. As long as you use 神枪手标记 off cooldown, 汲取时间 every time you get it, and use any Cantrip skill at least once every 18 seconds, you easily provide permanent uptime on these key boons.

Other Boons

Swiftness and Vigor

100% uptime of these boons are provided by 神枪手标记 (with the 致命快感 and 慷慨无私 traits).

Protection

Your main source of 保护 is from ally-targeted 暗影削弱, which should only be used if your subgroup is mostly full health, otherwise healing via 慎重射击 takes priority.

If needed, the combination of 致盲药粉 and 暗影庇护, or 风裔古物 can be used to provide additional uptime.

Regeneration

Your main source of 再生 is with ally-targeted 无尽黑夜, which should but spammed as long as you have initiative to spare as it's your main source of healing and barrier.

Healing

Practically everything you do provides some measure of 屏障 or healing:

• 暗影救星 heals on every shadowstep, which applies to 慎重射击 (Sceptre/Pistol) and 暗影换位.
• 慎重射击 and 无尽黑夜 provide healing and barrier, respectively, to allies they target. 暗影削弱 and your Scepter autoattack also provide a small amount of 屏障 when targeting allies.
• 怜悯伏击 heals allies that you 潜行, which can be useful if running 致盲药粉.
• 镰爪毒液 provides massive healing to nearby allies, provided they are hitting an enemy. It also grants some 屏障 thanks to 回复护盾.
• Weapon swap triggers 超级新生法印 and 快速切换, healing nearby allies and granting you initiative.

Weapons

Scepter

Via its allied-targeted abilities, Scepter fills in the gaps in uptime of your key boons, namely with and with ⇒ . During downtime you can also autoattack an ally to provide AoE .

When using scepter, it is strongly recommended to have some method for quickly targetting allies: Set/Take Personal Target, Nearest/Next/Previous Ally, or Ally Targeting Mode in the options will all allow this. Go for whichever you find most convenient.

Managing Initiative

As the majority of your healing and barrier comes from allied-targeted weapon skills that cost initiative, managing your initiative is key. Thankfully, this build has plenty of ways to gain more initiative.

• gives 2 initiative thanks to .
• not only refreshes , but also gives 3 initiative.
• gives a total of 3 initiative when entering and exiting Stealth (via and ).
• gives 3 initiative on weapon swap.

Rotation

This build doesn't follow a set rotation, and instead uses skills as they are needed. It can be helpful to follow an opener and a couple useful tips to help maintain boon uptime.

Opener

3. Target an ally
4. ⇒
7. Target the boss
10. Target an ally
12. ⇒

• Use off cooldown to provide AoE boons and gain for more boons.
• When your is on cooldown, you should always have an ally targeted (unless CC is needed) and use and ⇒ as needed.
• Use a Cantrip skill at least once every 18 seconds for and extra cast of to maintain .
• If there is an upcoming defiance bar, save and some initiative for .

CC

The majority of your CC is from , making a especially effective (it affects daze as well).

• is a 2s , and can be spammed as long as you have initiative.
• provides 382 Defiance Break and can knockback adds, which is relevant of certain fights.
• can provide 150 Defiance Break per target you hit, for a maximum potential of 750 on a shorter cooldown, though the CC can be wasted by allies hitting the wrong target.
