Misquesh.9504 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Full story: I usually just roam around the world, doing events and exploring the map. For fun. I don't really care about PvP, dungeons and raids, since I play alone. Rifle Deadeye works out for me, even though I understand how unefficient and clunky it is, compared to P/P unload, D/D and Daredevil. I don't aim to pierce the heavens, so I kind of gave up on that whole min-maxing deal, since all the big toys for big boys seemed to be too far away for me to reach. Yesterday, however, I noticed that I can get an ascended rifle by completing the Deadeye collection achievement - Cursed Flintlock. Today I managed to kill the Forged Warmonger and finally got the ascended Flintlock. And after recent Thief changes and amazing removal of guaranteed 20% crit chance on kneeling skills I am not so sure about what kind of attribute prefix I should pick for it. I've been using exotic assassin rifle with Sigil of Accuracy and Sigil of Force(with Berserker exotic armor, ascended Berserker accessories and 6/6 Scholar Rune) and after the latest patch I have around 80% CC without Fury on level 80. So I still get 100% crits after the nerf. Is it overkill? Is there some threshold for max crit? Should I pick "assassin" attributes on my ascended rifle to have 100% CC? And what infusions I should use? Do they even matter? 4 power points increase, for example, seems kind of negligible. TL;DR: What attribute prefix should I choose for my ascended rifle to have 100% crit chance if I use 6/6 exotic Berserker armor with ascended Berserker accessories and 6/6 Scholar Rune?

Isle of Stars.3049 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 This comment will be heard better when posted in the Thief sub-section since most pros hangout under that dank den. Personally, I don't have to land 100% critical chance for a Deadeye and there's no reason to do so since crit chance =/= crit damage. Having 80% crit chance means you are already landing 4 critical hits out of every 5 shots. 1. Go for Valkyrie 2. Infusions do not matter in your case since it's only a single ascended equipment 3. It's pointless to increase crit to 100%, as you won't benefit anything from it 4. Get Beryl Orbs and put them in your armor set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider.5792 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 If you're running power build, always go for berserker weapons. When it comes to thief, you shouldnt need any assassin pieces, you should be fine with pure berserker stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyninja.2954 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 **Get Marauder** if available (most fitting for your situation), Valkyrie if you want survivability and berserker for pure damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to have 100% crit on my Deadeye because it allows me to consistently outheal any damage that I receive. To the point where I can solo champion level enemies easily as a thief without any +vitality items. Something that I value because I play alone. Not landing a crit means not regening my entire health pool back up, and I don't want that to happen. And if my DJ doesn't crit - I'm done. Losing 100% crit greatly decreases my damage output AND survivability. Good to know that infusions don't matter much though. I'm not earning much laurels to spend them left and right. And I never thought of using Orbs in armor instead of runes. I guess our playstyle is too different, but still thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you're using your crit to heal some of your health back, consider checking Omnomberry Ghosts as well since it grants precision and a little bit of life sustain.

altermaven.7385 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I personally use Marauder regardless of when I am deadeye or daredevil, but if you take the trait that gives you increased crit chance on stealth, you can make do with some Valkyrie equipment to offset the extra precision (and as stated, more than 100% crit chance is pointless). > @"Isle of Stars.3049" said: > Well if you're using your crit to heal some of your health back, consider checking Omnomberry Ghosts as well since it grants precision and a little bit of life sustain. ~~Omnomberry Ghost gives power, not precision.~~ Winterberry pies or Mint swirl icecream is the way to go for precision as well as heal-on-crit. The former also grants +30% magic find; the latter +10% karma. ~~(Standard recipe heal-on-crit and precision is locked behind recipes for journey towards The Moot.)~~ **EDIT:** Yep, I forgot my caffeine again. Omnomberry ghosts do give +70 precision along with life-on-crit, it's that you have +15% experience from kills instead of +10%, and a chance of *ghostly presence* on consume.

I use Critical Strikes and Trickery along with Deadeye, so I don't have much in terms of stealth and only rely on it to execute DJ. My crit doesn't go over 100% since I have 80% base and 20% comes from Fury. At least I think that it works that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altermaven.7385 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 If you can keep your Fury consistent then you don't need 100%. 80% base is fine enough, because you will get the rest from Fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
