Deadeye Strengths & Weaknesses
Deadeye Strengths
High Mobility
The Deadeye has a lot of mobility skills compared to other classes which make it more mobile than others. You can use this to maneuver boss mechanics or rush enemies in PVP.
High DPS
The Deadeye's DPS is very high because of the multiple damage multipliers they have. If you are able to stack multiple damage multipliers like back attacks, critical hits, and double damage from tripods, you will easy deal damage in the millions.
Deadeye Weaknesses
Melee-ranged Class
Despite wielding guns, the Deadeye is mainly a melee-ranged class because of most of its damage comes from the tripods with the nearby foe bonus of the shotgun stance.
High Skill Floor
Having multiple weapons to cycle through, this gives the deadeye 16 skills to rotate from. To maximize the damage of the Deadeye, they must be able to rotate between 12 skills at the least.
