The community gave this build a rating, making it top-tier: Great

Focused on: Direct damage and Support

Designed for: Raids

Expansions required: Path of Fire Builds Janthir Wilds builds

Difficulty: Normal

This build was last updated on September 27, 2025 and is up to date for the June 2, 2026 patch.

Overview

A fast-paced Deadeye build that provides 急速 图标急速 by alternating between cantrips and the stolen skill. This provides permanent 激怒 图标激怒 and ~22 stacks of 威能 图标威能, but nothing else. This makes the build a rather niche pick and mostly for existing Deadeye fans.

Utility

Weapon Variants

  • Staff can replace Spear for players who own Secrets of the Obscure, but not Janthir Wilds. This weapon is also simpler in concept to use than Spear.
  • If pairing Spear and Dagger, then the offhand slot on Dagger is not used in the rotation. Therefore Pistol is a good option to offer some extra CC.
  • Spear and Daggers are used in combination for maximum DPS, but if preferred you could only use one of these, leaving the second set free for utility:
  • Spear is the higher damage, but more complicated option.
    • Your 2nd weapon set can be based on personal preference - Shortbow for mobility from 渗透暗箭 图标渗透暗箭 or an offhand Pistol for additional emergency CC from 爆头射击 图标爆头射击 are both common options.
    • Rifle is also a useful option to maintain damage should you be unable to melee the boss.

Utility

Usage

All your cantrips give you a stolen skill, and you always gain 汲取时间 图标汲取时间! The trick is to space out your cantrips and 神枪手标记 图标神枪手标记 such that you don't overwrite your stolen skill, have to leave 暗影闪烁 图标暗影闪烁 on cooldown for too long, or drop the buff from 神枪手古物 图标神枪手古物.

Spear Rotation

Spear is more complicated than other thief weapons as it employed a combo system where skills 2 and 3 each have three sub-skills that are classified as Lead Attacks, Follow Ups or Finishers. These flow together in order, with the active skills changing depending on where you are in the chain, and you can switch between 2 and 3 for different effects. For this build the standard combo is 螳螂钉刺 图标螳螂钉刺 ⇒ 吸血劈砍 图标吸血劈砍 ⇒ 陨落蜘蛛 图标陨落蜘蛛 (2 ⇒ 3 ⇒ 2).

Additional complexity is added by your stealth attack, and skills 4 and 5, all gaining bonuses if they are used after a Finisher:

If this isn't enough, 杂念投掷 图标杂念投掷 will also count as a Lead Attack in this case, which means the next combo will skip 螳螂钉刺 图标螳螂钉刺.

The general structure will be:

With many competing demands, there isn't a consistent loop that can be defined, so the opener below is long enough to show off a few of the points above in action. Be aware that Dagger can be used to finish a phase (if the target is below 50%), so there is a separate section for that.

Opener

  1. 神枪手标记 图标神枪手标记
  2. 汲取时间 图标汲取时间
  3. 暗影闪烁 图标暗影闪烁 ⇒ 暗影换位 图标暗影换位 - the flip skill has no cast time, do you can use it during other skills
  4. 螳螂钉刺 图标螳螂钉刺 ⇒ 吸血劈砍 图标吸血劈砍 ⇒ 陨落蜘蛛 图标陨落蜘蛛
  5. 杂念投掷 图标杂念投掷 ⇒ 吸血劈砍 图标吸血劈砍 ⇒ 陨落蜘蛛 图标陨落蜘蛛
  6. 螳螂钉刺 图标螳螂钉刺 ⇒ 吸血劈砍 图标吸血劈砍 ⇒ 陨落蜘蛛 图标陨落蜘蛛
  7. 汲取时间 图标汲取时间
  8. 恶意苍白突袭 图标恶意苍白突袭
  9. 怜悯 图标怜悯 ⇒ 汲取时间 图标汲取时间 ⇒ 神枪手标记 图标神枪手标记

Dagger Finisher

Against targets below 50% health, Dagger can be used to finish a phase. This is very strong when your target is below 25% health, but only just worth it below 50% health. The target should be close enough to phasing/dying that you won't have to use any autoattacks, and it's a good idea to get one final use of 杂念投掷 图标杂念投掷 before you switch.

Dagger loop

On dagger, repeat the basic loop below three times:

  1. 恶意背刺 图标恶意背刺
  2. 双重打击 图标双重打击 ⇒ 狂野打击 图标狂野打击 ⇒ 毒莲打击 图标毒莲打击 x2
  3. Cantrip, or 双重打击 图标双重打击 ⇒ 狂野打击 图标狂野打击 ⇒ 毒莲打击 图标毒莲打击
  4. 隐秘突袭 图标隐秘突袭
  5. 恶意背刺 图标恶意背刺
  6. 汲取时间 图标汲取时间 (if available)
  7. 暗影融合 图标暗影融合 ⇒ 恶意背刺 图标恶意背刺 (optional)

Staff loop

  • As staff doesn't utilitse stealth, the basic structure is to use all initiative on 虚弱回旋 图标虚弱回旋, using 神枪手标记 图标神枪手标记 and cantrips ⇒ 汲取时间 图标汲取时间 as they come off cooldown (make sure not to overwrite existing stolen skills).
  • Fill the rest of the time with autoattacks - make sure to finish the auto chains.
  • Make sure to have 汲取时间 图标汲取时间 as your last skill before swapping back to Daggers so you can immediately use 恶意背刺 图标恶意背刺.

Below 25%

Against targets below 25% health, dagger deals too much damage to swap away from.

Basic loop The duration of 暴露 图标暴露 is slightly longer than this loop if no Cantrips or 汲取时间 图标汲取时间 are available. In this case you want to use one extra 双重打击 图标双重打击 to let the 暴露 图标暴露 expire.

  2. 恶意背刺 图标恶意背刺

General Tips

  • 暗影闪烁 图标暗影闪烁 has a long cast time and it will be interrupted by 隐秘突袭 图标隐秘突袭 if you use it too early, so make sure to finish the cast.
  • Below 50%, if the boss is about to phase, you can use up any excess initiative by spamming 钻心 图标钻心 - Just make sure to leave yourself enough initiative for 隐秘突袭 图标隐秘突袭 if you will also have time for another 恶意背刺 图标恶意背刺! Above 50%, 钻心 图标钻心 is lower DPS than the auto chain.
  • This rotation is susceptible to lag. If this is likely to be a problem, 暗影融合 图标暗影融合 can be used to re-enter stealth in the event that you are revealed before before you can use 恶意背刺 图标恶意背刺.

Break bars

  • 石蜥毒液 图标石蜥毒液 should be cast while you are standing in melee range of 5 allied units (mesmer illusions, ranger pets and necromancer minions all count towards this).

Encounter Specific Tips

Spirit Vale

Ghost events

The ghost events are mostly movement based.

  • Consider equipping a Short bow, and/or using 暗影疾步 图标暗影疾步.

For more information, see our Spirit Woods Guide.

Gorseval the Multifarious
  • During the split phases, you can use 匕首之舞 图标匕首之舞 to cripple spirits from 900 range.

For more information, see our Gorseval Guide.

Salvation Pass

Slothasor
  • You have no way of blocking Slothasor's fear so either rely on others to break/cleanse it for you or use 怜悯 图标怜悯. This can also be used to recover from disruption caused by the Slublings.
  • Bringing CC will be very helpful.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.

For more information, see our Slothasor Guide.

Matthias Gabrel
  • Use 钻心 图标钻心 for mobility around the room.
  • Bringing one of the CC options will be very helpful.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.
  • 石蜥毒液 图标石蜥毒液 is somewhat unreliable as your allies may still be targeting Matthias instead of the sacrifice.

For more information, see our Matthias Guide.

Stronghold of the Faithful

Keep Construct
  • Unless you really need the CC, you can greed for damage with 同仇敌忾 图标同仇敌忾.

For more information, see our Keep Construct Guide.

Twisted Castle
  • Consider equipping a Short bow, and/or using 暗影疾步 图标暗影疾步.
  • You can use 怜悯 图标怜悯 as a stunbreak.

For more information, see our Twisted Castle Guide.

Bastion of the Penitent

Cairn the Indomitable

For more information, see our Cairn Guide.

Mursaat Overseer

For more information, see our Mursaat Overseer Guide.

Samarog
  • Bringing CC option will be very helpful.

For more information, see our Samarog Guide.

Deimos
  • The breakbar in this fight is too fast and too small for 石蜥毒液 图标石蜥毒液, so you can bring 同仇敌忾 图标同仇敌忾 or 暗影融合 图标暗影融合 instead.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.

For more information, see our Deimos Guide.

Hall of Chains

Dhuum
  • This fight has no breakbar, bring 同仇敌忾 图标同仇敌忾 or 暗影融合 图标暗影融合.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.

For more information, see our Dhuum Guide.

Mythwright Gambit

Conjured Amalgamate
  • 石蜥毒液 图标石蜥毒液 is overkill for breaking shields, so you can bring 同仇敌忾 图标同仇敌忾.
  • Given the speed at which the arms slam down, 怜悯 图标怜悯 can be used to ensure you can mark them.

For more information, see our Conjured Amalgamate Guide.

Twin Largos
  • Bringing CC will be very helpful.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.

For more information, see our Largos Assassins Guide.

The Key of Ahdashim

Cardinal Adina
  • A Rifle can be useful if you're being made to do pillars.

For more information, see our Adina Guide.
