NEW Deadeye AXE Open World Build

Now that we have had the 2nd major update of the current Secrets of the Obscure expansion, we get to play with new weapons on all 9 professions. Thieves no longer will need to content themselves with throwing daggers, shooting pistols, or rifles, they now can chuck axes at their unsuspecting victims as well.

The new Axe takes some getting used to, especially since there's a windup to the animations, as well as projectile traveling speed to take into account. Once you get used to these, though, you'll be able to dispatch any enemy with a quick combo, while casually strolling past them.

Axe does work with Daredevil, but the targeting is rather unruly in the open world when you focus on pure mobility. That's why we're going with a Deadeye build, who can also maintain most important boons so that Jade Bot Protocols become an afterthought.

If you're an avid user of Jade Bot Protocols, though, you can swap out Critical Strikes for Deadly Arts for some extra quality of life improvements. Axe is a very resource intensive weapon, but combining Trickery with Deadeye's Mark means we shouldn't ever struggle for resources.

This build excels both against single targets, as well as packs of enemies thanks to axe's innate ability to cleave. Time to get farming!
