High-Burst Variant

No Pain, No Gain Variant

• The Condi Deadeye has three primary damaging abilities:

  ,

  , and

  . Due to the nature of

  (which has to be cast to enable

  ), this rotation becomes very tricky, as it forces your character to Shadowstep Backwards: This is because the intention behind designing the Pistol/Dagger setup was probably to make a kiting kit, and it was never really meant to be a Best in Slot DPS kit. One way to bypass this is to jump during, or immediately after casting

  . Not only is it an inconvenience for the rotation, but it also lowers your DPS slightly, as there will be a small, but significant delay where you will still be up in the air, unable to make your next move. It is necessary to jump

  sometimes, such as when Dark Ai pulses AoEs in a set ring pattern, so as not to lose too much health, and fall into Downstate far away from your friends.
• can see its range alleviated by positioning the camera at a steep angle, above your character, and running inside of the hitbox. The latter reduces the porting range to approximately 400 units while combining the two reduces the range to about 180 units (courtesy of Darkz).
• The rotation requires a good sense of timing, as do pretty much all Deadeye builds, to maximize your DPS: timing some abilities incorrectly, such as

  (which will consume your Malice in exchange for some Initiative points), can have dramatic consequences for the rest of the fight: you might end up being completely unable to use any ability whatsoever because you have run out of Initiative points to spend. Not being able to use abilities keeps your Malice bar too low, and this chain reaction can leave you powerless to do anything until you can use

  or

  again.
• Missing an ability like

  or hitting nothing but thin air with

  , both of which might happen from being out of range, will unnecessarily use up some of your Initiative, and might delay your

  which could cause some issues for the rest of the fight, like not filling up your Initiative bar at the proper moment.
• It is important to learn the rotation by heart, if you do not fully understand the Malice mechanic. abilities such as

  are only enabled when you are under the effect of Stealth; notably, the latter has additional effects when Malice is consumed, so it is important not to use

  before, or while casting it. Specifically,

  should always be used upon completing the

  , so as not to interfere with Stealth-application skills like the random F2 Stolen skills (

  , ...),

  or

  .
• Stolen abilities (

  ,

  ...) should not be used if you have less than four Malice points, as four of them ought to be consumed to provide you with Stealth, enabling

  .
• is a key trait that will lower the cooldown of all of your Utility Skills by 20% of their total cooldown after killing a Marked target. Targets can be Marked with

  . A good way to reset your

  in order to reapply it to a new foe is to run

  . It is essential to run this trait on every CM boss, as it will allow you to precast additional

  on Ensolyss, or more Venom Skills on all of the other bosses. We also recommend

  on bosses such as MAMA, Siax, Skorvald, Artsariiv, and Arkk so as not to run out of initiative, and allow for more procs of

  . Note that

  will always reset upon your Marked target's death.
• Lastly, it should be noted that

  is a crucial trait for longer fights, as the use of a cantrip like

  or

  will allow you to use a second Stolen ability, on top of the one that the

  gives you every twenty seconds or so.

Precasting

All Damaging Venom Skills should be casted on the Mistlock Singularity:

,

and

. On stationary bosses which can be manually activated, instead of precasting

, you can instead go to the spawn location and precast

. All you have to do then is to activate the Preparation when the boss becomes vulnerable, and cast it again as it will be off cooldown. This is possible on Skorvald, Artsariiv, Arkk, MAMA, and Ensolyss with the use of a

, or on Siax without. It is also possible on the Sorrowful Spellcaster (Light & Dark Ai), but with a 1/4 chance of success.

• On Dark Ai, make sure to precast venoms on your

  minions, as every boon and special ability effect currently on you will be stripped upon starting the encounter.
