Combat configuration
Skill notes
Use Mark after the condition stack is established, then place Deadeye skill 6 inside the longest safe damage window. Keep Kneel for recovery.
Hover the skill icons for complete Guild Wars 2 effect details.Combat execution
Mark the priority target before committing initiative so stolen skills and malice support the full damage sequence.
Use kneel or rifle pressure only when the encounter gives a safe firing position; reposition early instead of losing casts late.
Spend stealth for a clean burst or safe reset, then preserve enough initiative to move after the target reacts.
