What to do against Deadeyes?

[Zawn.9647]

Just pray that they are bad... If they arent, you cant do shit since in this game you can stealth while being attacked :disappointed:They can port, they can shadowstep while still hitting you. Have fun dealing with all this crap

[cyberzombie.7348]

If they're in stealth and have trouble finding them spam your autoattack, the chain gives you a hint and if you cant find them within your immediate area out use los. You can also immediatly use aoe to where they stealthed, they'll crack and port out.

Yes. DJ has no recast time like all thief weapon skills.

Yep, you can cast two DJ's in a row.

Of course, getting full malice stacks without hitting the target with at least 3 crits from initiative-spending attacks in between is not possible, and firing the first DJ uses all of them, not to mention the need to re-stealth in between shots, so the image shown here is also not possible

But keep the screen edits coming I rather enjoy the entertainment of the obvious bs people are throwing around, ZOMG I GOT HIT BY TWO DJS IN A ROW yeah sure you did buddy. Just out of curiosity what class were you playing to have more than 50k health? Is it the elite 10th class referred to as the arenanet build special?

[guest.9472]

The same solution for any broken build. Just roll dodge poison druid. Most evasion most sustain and constant poison ensures you win any prolonged fight. Period. Unless its fb then just go melee only soulbeast unblockable. Easy

As a main scrapper, as soon as I see/hear the tell tale telegraph that I'm about to get sniped, the sneak gyro comes out. Followed by a detection pulse. Then the tables turn. Ofc, in an ideal world ;)

Doesnt solve anything. They stealth and come back in 15 seconds with full skillbar. You just lost precious Damage and time by pressuring a fast moving target. Your teammates got probably ganked becasue you are running after a teleporting thief.

[Nilkemia.8507]

Hope you can stealth yourself or have constant reflects, I guess.

Implying shadow refuge can't be dealt with.As to your point, that's whole 15 seconds for you to hold the point. It's not that much different from the enemy respawn.

[Rukia.4802]

Focus them and they die. It's that simple... especially vs another thief that doesn't play that garbage spec.

[BadMed.3846]

Be aware that they're there. Stay close to walls and other objects that can be used to take cover. Avoid the burst and the hit them hard.Evades, blocks and reflects are great but don't stand in there after using those.

[Seteruss.4058]

Ignore them and respawn...

[MyPuppy.8970]

Harass them, murder them, and let them bleed to death. (Don't forget to check from time to time that they're still nicely bleeding)Always communicate their position. If you ever let them escape, warn your team on their whereabouts.

If you can, LoS under their feet and AoE/cleave the position. On open field, just run and take cover if you're melee and alone, or they'll just stealth/tp and kite you to death. The easiest way to kill them then is when they go for the decap. If you're targeted in a team fight and can't properly deal with them, go be useful somewhere else and ask your team to target the deadeye. Or just take some time to take cover and recover and elaborate a strategy. Sometimes you just need to step back a little and clear your mind to get a better view.

First clash on mid, always observe enemy's positioning. If thief or ele are taking higher grounds or stay on retreat, they should be your first targets. Same for Soulbeasts also. Don't tunnel vision on necro. People who insist on doing so are generally the ones who came without decent condiclears and die to ranged dpsers while trying.
