Sorry for such a newb question but coming back to Deadeye after a while and the skill seems a little odd to me and wanted to understand how it's supposed to work.
With Rifle 4, its Death's Retreat while standing which is a good way to get distance and quick cleanse. While kneeling, Rifle 4 becomes the shield "Sniper's Cover". Pretty straight forward.
However, there's also this "Death's Advance". Which the only way I've been able to get it to work is Kneel > Sniper's Cover > Stand-up > Reverse Direct > Death's Retreat. I've tried using Shadowstep and other skills to shadowstep through Sniper's Cover or land on it, but nothing other than Death's Retreat seems to do it. However, Death's Retreat is always backwards.
Is that really how its intended to work? It seems like that after you Kneel > Sniper's Cover, the Rifle 4 should become Death's Advance, but it doesn't seem to change. I can reposition my Sniper's Cover all I want, but I can't do Death's Advance without standing up and doing reverse then Death's Retreat.
