Dunno If you feel the same, while I am playing I feel a lot as on a Souls like (ok, dmg window, time to unload ALL shit I can) and after I need either stop to some mech, Dodge “that” AoE or run to the next Boss position. Usually with a move skill trying to trigger my kick recharges.
A cdr gem at lvl 7 is 14%, any Idea about How much % cdr Swift gives by each 50 points?
1.05% give or take
Are you using dexterous shot with level 7 excellent mobility upgraded tripod ?
Oh yes, also with a cdr 6 gem to span trying to refresh kick recharges. 
Quick recharge ?
That rune that reduce cooldown from “other” skills…
Sort of always spamming and praying: Cmon! Cmon! Need shotgun UP again! 
Heavy armor?
Dont waste engraving space on that, you’re not a bard.
Go for something like this instead
This is not good… you’re basically running 3 engravings. Heavy armor and spirit absorption are both just crutches, just getting familiar with fights and identifying attack patterns is what I’d recommend.
Certified weirdchamp moment.
You essentially have 2 dps engraving so no wonder mvp is never achieved. While mvp is kinda whatever it does show proper class performance and you don’t achieve that. You don’t need spirit absorption if you learn fights plus yearning supports got you covered with the move n attack speed buff, and you don’t need heavy armor if you just don’t get hit which again won’t happen if you just learn the fights. Just cause you’re surviving the attacks you keep tanking doesn’t mean you’re contributing well to the group.
My suggestion would be to remove these 2 crutches you’re using and put proper dmg engravings like grudge n cursed doll. you can reduce your class engraving to level 2 and add crisis evasion lv1 as your emergency crutch. Actually saw some gunslinger do that and thought that’s giga brain move. I play gunslinger as an alt and I just don’t get hit, sometimes shit happens though and a clutch crisis evasion can be big.
Ngl this post kinda feels like kanima ding dong reaction time bait. I can already envision the video in YouTube about it.
I heard about the KBW table in one from his vídeos, was interested on see what I could get from there without going “blindly” to the “If you play dps and dont run Grudge and Cursed Doll you are an idiot and a moron”.
KBW has synergy with EW, HA and Spirit are great QoL on the class too (but will check Crisis Evasion as you pointed), also got Nice tips from other Deadeyes above. 
Your pet crit bonus is already applied into your stats, try unsommoning it and you will see your total crit reduced in your character stats
You do know that your damage come from Spec yes? And you do know you can achieve 80% crit without any crit stat at all and u can go full swift with Entropy, maybe a crit ring if u’re still insecure bout crit. Also, we EW Deadeye don’t use crit as main stat. As a EW Deadeye main myself, seeing this is like a set back for the class. You can play Pistoleer and spam without worrying bout back attack. For a 1485 DE, this is actually very sad too see.
To be fair, you should just switch to Pistoleer. EW is just not for you if this is going to be your build going into future raid. I wouldn’t take a EW Deadeye with this build into a party, just not fair for the people that have their proper build and setup.
I would completelly understand pros gatekeeping experimental/non meta builds, also you have all rights on your groups to pick who you think useful. 
Is just weird people using the “is not for you” phrase to everything, game is not for you, class is not for you, while It is not the meta build, trust me, this works wonders and while I have a huge list of test and improvements after the suggestions It is a cool alternate build to learn clown and Brel patterns on the first weeks. 
Can’t bother reading full topic but… pet gives 10 percent of your crit stat not crit ratio, it’s already included in your stats and turned into crit rate when checking the base crit rate without buffs.
Do not run this, you will do 0 damage or be helpful to your team. It’s not even about meta or off-meta build. This is just a waste of investment, just get better and learn your class.
I don’t believe any actual troll came around this post so far. People only seem to geniunely try and tell you that your build won’t work for much longer. Actually already doesn’t work, as per your observations, indealing damage and killing the boss.
A good way to think about is - what if 6 people with your build gather to try and clear let’s say vykas gate 2. They will fail.
Most people consider this to be unacceptable and would try to adapt their build to - at the very least - carry their own weight.
Yes, as long as it’s a second build that you can swap out of when you are done learning the fight and you’re actively trying to clear it. Otherwise it doesn’t serve much purpose if it can’t allow you to at least pull your own average 15-17% damage contribution to the boss.
I have doubts that without grudge, cursed doll and your spec you can pull even 10% on vykas. Those 3 things alone are making you deal almost 80% less damage then you should be.
Lmao half baked answers and complaints about the class like this are why I’m so glad i’m pretty much raid logging lost ark now.
Holy pepega batman.
All i am seeing is a 1485 guy running 3x3 build, spirit absorption and heavy armour is good for beginners below 1415 but using them above 1415 makes you lose too much damage.
That’s something I would love to test, but since this build survives with just some pink pots regardless support or no, a more interesting test could be going 8 copies full dps.
But serious, I would like to thank ALL of you by the tips, impressions, criticism and time, hope you are enjoying the chat as much as myself 
.
Now I have a lot more tests to do, also this week I will get the pants from Entropy and reach 6 piece (+7/22%), from there depending on luck to stones and quality rolls I will see what I will be allowed to test.
Every class can survive with no support and purple pots lol, even ones without troll builds. This is some master tier bait post honestly.
That’s true, Pet bonus is common misleading.
It applies only on stats.
For example:
600 crit → 660 (by 10% of Pet)
Would recommend switch to Spec, since it has highest number of the build.
1200 spec → 1320 (by 10% of Pet)
