Is the deadeye any good in raids?

Rifle deadeye is passable but not great because it is both stationary, making it difficult to move out of dangerous spots, and also because it consumes its dodges for more dps, which is dangerous also.

However, dagger deadeye is in a great spot right now. It does very high damage for pretty low effort, and thus would especially make a great "first raid class". I didn't touch my thief for over a year and randomly took it to our "drunk raid" night, and even though I was hammered and never play dps (I'm a tank main), I easily got top dps and even beat the numbers that one of our dps-mains got during our serious clear.

It's a super solid class at the moment.
