Reddit was really mad when people were pointing out that evasion and armor were mitigation mechanics that also needed life to work (with life being removed from tree) and ES was functionally unchanged from poe1 and still just as easy to get.
I think GGG thought the base dmg reduction would negate the life loss, where as ES has 0 mitigation and need to rely on stuff like MoM, block or just a massive pool. They were wrong ofc 😅
If there was a life overflow aura it would fix it. Es isn't busted the overflow is. They should take the es overflow off the aura and give it to an acendsncy. Occultist or something. Or remove life overflow from bloodwitch and make it an aura
been testing the build for many many hours lately. have you tried taking the nodes for magnitude of shock and lightning damage instead of attack area damage, etc? It seems that AoE damage is relatively unchanged (stuff still dies in one or two explosions). I can see a notable difference on single target, however, due to the magnified shock damage. I'm upwards of 70-80%. I'm not a professional though, would love to hear your thoughts or see if you've tested it. Also can scale shock magnitude with jewels and definitely be over 100% with enough divines.
Great defensive suggestion! Just made the swap yesterday (around level 85) and my survivability skyrocketed, I only died once between 85-90 when I was previously dying fairly often especially in "swarm" situations as you mentioned in the video (breach, ritual, sometimes delirium, etc) and that was all solved by adding ES/Grim to the build. Honestly Grim Feast just sort of feels like having an overleech effect while mapping, every pack tops you back up and above your maximum ES. I effectively 2.5x'd my effective HP by making the change (going from ~2200 life to ~5500 life+ES when Grim Feast overcapped) which has made mapping a breeze even in tier 16-17 situations.
hey man, dont let the "downside" of infusion bait you. yeah its true you lose a little bit of the extra lightning and cold on explosive shot, but lets actually look at what that means. 5% additional damage as lightning and cold 25% additional damage as fire *on explosive shot* 50% less lightning and cold damage *on explosive shot* this means you are still getting 2.5% additional damage as lightning and cold as well as 25% additional as fire shock chance is based on the strength of the hit with three dragons, our fire damage is what our shock chance is based on explosive shot is our clear skill and our shock setup for single target by removing fire infusion for something like execute, you are lowering your shock chance to 20% LESS than with fire infusion, only to do 2.5% additional damage as cold and the same as lightning execute doesnt matter much for blowing up packs we dont really use explosive shot for single target fire infusion is still the best gem
You didn't include innvervate and Ice bite buffs, so idk if fire infusion is the play, but your point stands about dmg on lowlife being kinda suboptimal because it doesn't help shocking bosses, will think about what to do here!
@@Palsteron yeah, innervate and ice bite won't be up for 90% of bosses anyway but that's definitely going to affect clear a bit. however, something else i missed is fire penetration. ice bite and innervate and the two passives by monk are adding damage that doesn't contribute to shock chance, and fire penetration isn't going to multiply their damage. personally i believe it best to stick to fire pen and fire infusion, and to remind oneself that even with fire infusion, we are still getting half the bonus damage of lightning and ice, and that the skill will sort of always be strong enough for clear and that we should focus a little more on shock setup. i tested out a ton of stuff that looked like it might affect the build even a little bit. like the whisper of the brotherhood ring, converting cold to lightning meant allowing herald of ice to freeze again - but ultimately it made little to no difference for clear. wouldn't recommend. i also tested out auto-reload and subsequently auto-reload paired with fresh clip. while it occasionally resulted in some free reloads during clear, it was not nearly consistent enough to be worth using permanently. i suspect this was because dead monsters cannot be stunned lol. it also would mean fresh clip couldn't be used on shockburst, which may be just fine - more on this later. many remaining support gems were QOL, such as double barrel (not great, needs rebalanced imo. 1 extra ammo for 30% less reload speed feels pretty shit), nimble reload, and ammo conservation. ammo conservation was definitely the most fun of the options, occasionally resulting in chains of 8+ shots before reloading. but in the end, this was not a dps increase or a shock chance increase, and explosive shot feels just fine without it. the two most interesting gems i found were biting frost and rising tempest. biting frost consumes the freezes applied by herald of thunder and shockburst for a 50% more multiplier - however, i believe this only applies to one hit, making it fairly mediocre. it also has the obvious downside of consuming the freeze. rising tempest is the real winner imo. it gives us 12% more elemental damage for every skill used recently of a different element. I've been trying to test the specifics, but i believe having all three heralds active means we usually have 36% more elemental damage with this gem. i looked into when a skill counts as "used" and found that when a skill is "triggered" it does not count as being used, but heralds are not "triggered", they simply have an effect that always applies when conditions are met. its hard to test the specifics of this one with heralds at play and frankly i'm not willing to put the effort in to be 100% accurate since i still just prefer fire infusion / fire pen. at the very least, this gem is a guaranteed 12% more damage (and that 12% more should multiply ice bite / innervate damage). however, i found this to actually be best used on shockburst in place of fresh clip. since we use explosive shot to apply shock, then switch to shockburst, which is a rapid hitting skill - the first ammo of shockburst will have 12% more damage and the remaining rounds for up to 4 seconds will have 24% more damage. I'm also still using voltaic mark, so it's just always 24% more damage on shockburst. at the very least, i would definitely say if you don't want to run fire infusion, and want to stick to fresh clip in shockburst (which is very valid still) rising tempest is your best bet for a replacement. honorable mention to lightning exposure support gem, if you can get the damage high enough and the shocks consistent enough on explosive shot, this really ramps up single target damage
another question im doing the endgame swap.... what do i drop for grim feast? i am certain it has to be the mark skill i really hope i can still shock bosses with my explosive shot im guessing the %shock we took helps with this in the swap. i guess i was right at 1:36 i hope the bossing is fine or maybe theres a swap not mentioned.
I have been experimenting a lot with explo shot for few days. Got to 88 on deadeye and doing t16-t18 juiced with evasion build already feels lacking, damage wise I mean. Ofc depends on map mods...some maps I blaze through and some I have to 4-5 shot magic packs. So I wonder how does it feel dropping all those damage nodes in favor of ES? I earn very slowly so I'm scared to commit to diff build that might not work out for me.
What level do you have to be for all the skill points needed?!!! BTW, Thanks for the build! I seem to be missing some skill points and for the life of me I went through the campaign maps 3 times already to make sure I didn't miss anything. I think am missing 5 skill points, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
just transitioned to ES at lvl 80. still dont have 6links, have somewhat decent crossbows. all res capped except chaos res. the es version still slaps. always satisfied with your builds. good job
Were you able to make this work without spending a ton of div? I have exalts but no divines and I’m level 83 and getting wrecked I really need to swap to ES
@@GolompReformed i spent on gear about 3-4 div. but thats only because i put 108 rarity on the gear. if you solely focus on resist and etc you can make this work cheap. have around 1.7k life and 1.6k ES, but full res capped. it is possible. as pal said crossbows are the main priority. it certainly is possible. just have to snipe items. also i still dont have 6 links because i do not need :D. keep in mind, it is a ranger, its squishy af. grim feast carries me trough maps, its essential. a bit annoying minigame picking those orbs up
can you show more of your gear and your socketed jewels? your damage is still nearly 50% more than mine and i would like to understand where to focus. i'm at like 4.8k sheet dps for explosive and 10k for shockburst. i'm only level 84, but i doubt the few levels alone make up the difference?
Did you add the energy shield option to all jewel options? Did you only change the jewels shown in the video? I want to know the options of the jewels you used.
Hi, I 'am asking in this vid again: wouldn't it be better to have "Flash Storm" as a general passive (for both sets)? So one set benefits from the shock chance and the other benefits from penetration?
I just want an arpg, where you can dress up your character with items from the floor, with some crafting. Especially if a goal is just to beat campaign mode.
When should I also change Energy Shield? Do I have to have all items such as chest, hands, belt, rings etc. or can I change if I already have 1 item with Energy Shield? I've just realized that the items are all very, very expensive and I'm sure 10-15 Divine won't be enough. For example, your chest is really strong and 1000 ES is expensive, is half enough?
Build actually sucks late endgame had to reroll back to lighting arrow with rod. Its fine tell around t15 but after that the damage is way too low. Sucks because it feels so smooth and fun to play. Also the energy shield swap is so lame and bad game design by GGG they need to nerf es.
I'm having some big problems with the Weapon Swap Points. 1. I'm level 89 and have everything skilled as in your skill tree, but when I want to assign the Weapon Set Points, they are not enough and I can't skill everything you have skilled. Can someone explain to me where the error is and tell me what I have to do correctly. I would really appreciate it. ^^
Im flying through most parts of the game with the previous build with the acrobatics, yet I do tend to die a lot from oneshots from simple hits, such as traps in trials of sekhemas, some bombs on the ground/mobs exploding etc. 2300 Life 70% with acrobatics Will Energy Shield give me the last bit to even succeed the trials? Or is it my Elemental Resistance I’m currently having 45% ele and 75% chaos
Im running around with 79% evasion with acrobatics pls don’t tell me its gets bad above t16 maps as for now I mostly run 8mod corrupted t15 there it feels very strong
I know this question is a little bit out of place, but have you looked at plasma blast for a build? I love the skill but not on a deadeye. Thinking about using that on a stormweaver with elemental storm.
Okay, I’ve taken this build to t15, and starting at t13 I started to die frequently to random one shots. The issue is, I have zero divines to my name and I have only had 3 drop in the time I took me to get to t15 maps lol idk where to go from here. I die too much to keep wasting high tier maps and can’t really afford this very expensive energy shield and evasion hybrid gear
The game just needs to be balanced. It's early access so I would expect changes pretty quick. It's hard to take the game and builds seriously when people are having weird builds like this to pretty much take advantage of how broken energy shield is.
Just respecced to ES/Eva from ARM/Eva and its such a massive improvement its insane. Went from 2.5k life to 1.8k life + 2k ES, and I haven't even gotten all the Eva/Es nodes yet. With full tailwind + wind dancer stacks, im now sitting at 25k Eva without Acrobatics, and I recover 1k+ ES whenever I take a hit. Basically never dying now.
No. Honestly just reroll a new char. My first Char was a Bloodmage. It's just rough to get to work. I leveled it to 75 with the pre nerf cast on freeze setup with a freezing shards staff. (no mana cost on my spam button) but since the nerf its borderline unplayable, since its too hard to sustain the life cost on skills. Until they rework or massively buff the life remnants node, blood mage is dead. I rerolled to deadeye with palsterons build and im having a blast! currently lvl 83 and its fun as hell.
Sadly bloodmage is crap at 1, Couture of Crimson unique + Leech on a unascended witch is a explicit upgrade over bloodmage in 99.99% of build with current gear options unless you play the "trade league" till 4th ascendancy complete.
Gemling legionare str stacking and than doing whatever you want. Double stat value plus same support gems on both skills is just better. I dont know how did you came up with ranger being better.
I don't understand why they decide to make grim feast to double ur es. Currently running demon form with 300hp and 6k es which makes it 12k with grim. Think they should make grim only refill ur es to max not double and that would make it bit much fair. Not sure what could be other way to fix es without breaking some builds.
Buddy since rerolling to your build and getting evasion to cap (90%) and without acrobatics . 1400 hp I'm clearing 13s with no problems actually haven't died since . Keep range stay in good position and just open fire plus move speed of 50%+ bugger all can even get close anyway
@@googleplaynow9608 i have 2 decent weapons but im unsure what to pick on the tree, because the tree on website show stuff with endgame gear/es. Im still in evasion gear and cant afford swapping gear yet. So what points am i supposed to pick on 1st weapon and 2 nd weapon, is there a tree to show it
An anointment is basically putting a skill tree notable on your amulet. The items needed drop from delirium content, I believe. Distilled fear, distilled ire, etc. you can hover over a notable in the passive tree and it will tell you which ones you need for each specific notable. They can be bought on trade site or the currency exchange. Each of the items should prompt you with “right click this item to open window” yada yada and you place your amulet in that window and whichever distilled items it asks for, hit anoint and you’re good to go. Some are expensive so search each one before you start wasting money.
Im avoiding ANYTHING with grim feast right now, there is absolutely no way the Nerf hammer aint coming on this first the second they back from holidays lol
I mean you could just use it for the next 2 weeks or so probably. It’s not a big investment or something, just a skill gem. If ES is nerfed into the ground to the point that a pivot like Palsteron made here is problematic to undo, they would need to wait until the first EA League/Season/Content Release with economy reset for it to not be horrid PR. I think it’s safe to pivot into ES for the remainder of the initial EA standard league for that reason.
it cost me 2d chest (had luck for 1100/400, some nice resists and a little life) and respec few nodes -> basically nothing and im 3x tankiner. It is fucking worth even if it is for 3 days :D (which is probably more)
I switched from LA, overall this build feels stronger, although more clunky. The only thing that sucks is boss kill. Not comparable to Fubgun's LA boss kill at all.
@@darkscarlet4600 boss kill is definitely better for LA, but overall clear on the same budget is nowhere near explosive shot for LA. For party MF breach clear LA just straight up sucks. Don't care about amount of buttons, as I usually love to have more shit to press, I feel like that's the gameplay.
@@ShaKuar put reloads as 1 and 2, then put crossbow bolt on left click. reload explosive to load it, then shoot with crossbow bolt and when u wanna switch to lightning hit 2 to load the electrical one
pretty much the same stats for both damage wise you want high phys. the difference is you only need "loads an additional bolt" on the explosive shot crossbow making the second one without it cheaper
Neck anoinment for amulet. Go currency exchange the bottom items you can combine to gain a Bug boy passive from the tree. Google you’ll find the combinations, some are very expensive.
I think at this point this build is better as invoker, i am playing galvanic deadeye and i wish i was invoker. Solve spirit issue, phys defence, extra cold and Light dmg or unbound Extra proj doesnt do much for shockburst, you compansate some skill speed at invoker start
How do you think mapping will feel? I chose this build because I got tired of running around the map lol. Tailwind seems so good defensively as well with the 30% less
Tbf, you had a pretty bad chest going into t15/16 maps, it is very easy to get a 2k+ evasion chest, and I barely die. Just a different setup, I really dont think either of them is particularly better than the other
Is a pure phys xbow better than lets say with any kind of elemental dmg on it? or is it just the highest dps overall which is important, dps wise? Ty !
@@Uber_GoobTube Well masks are from 1-8ex but no one will sell it, just bait for others to sell it low and buy using bots... And current price is 1div for this mask... which is way too much. Weapon yeah probably is 25divs some really top tier, but weapon can be upgraded gradually.
I've kind of ran into a wall with pricing on traditional bow deadeye around map 12-14. Looked at prices for crossbows and was blown away at how cheap. I really wish sometimes there were caps to pricing because it kind of prevents casuals from certain builds. Anyways, i probably need a cheaper alternative because offense is defense on deadeye and not having 20+ div every day means deadeye is dead for casuals
No I’m running fubgun type of build, I only spent 3div on a bow and 2div on jewelry orbs which you need for every build. Doing T15s, Running Ultimatum and Sanctum just fine. I was doing all this before I bought the bow as well
@gears7333 guess our definition of "fine" is different. I bought a 3div dualstring bow that is actually worse than the bow i was using, but the dualstring is way over priced.
@@blakecorkill i ran the fubgun build until i got burned out and switched to this, it really is doable even on like 5 div which was what i paid there is alternatives to everything he is using for much cheaper you don't even need dualstring i didn't use dual and clear was fine 75 75 75 75 res with 2,4k life died only once to a 1 shot. didn't do uber bosses so no clue how damage is there but rest of mobs died like nothing
@@ThePapaupa12 yeah I'm really just wanting to shred maps and get currency. Maybe will make a tanky bosser later with currency. Minions were fun but i don't like kiting them around as much as i thought. Maybe slam build.
In acts you should just go pure damage. Your defense is to kill stuff fast. You do need a decent amount of life, and get any res you can of course, but the main focus is damage.
First priority should be focus on going to the nodes down and to the left. Upgrade your weapons at level 28 and 48. To keep damage going. Don’t spend more than regals or 1 exalt. That price range is fine for leveling.
idk what the fk is wrong im lvl 89 one lvl under you and my tree is totally fked up i cant path to monk cauz i dont have enough point w t f i did exactly the same tree
I mean I honestly don't think the problem is that ES is that overtuned it's that life is way too weak. LIke remember when we were going to have more life than in POE1 and instead we have like what 3K. I'm running around in a close to max infernalist with 20K ES when fully overflowed and I have been one shot multiple times. Now evasion and acrobatics are good but there's no way to build the defenses needed to live a big hit that makes it through, since the maximum life you can possible get to is what 4K or so while still meeting the dex requirements for level 20 skills

Do I have to have all items such as chest, hands, belt, rings etc. or can I change if I already have 1 item with Energy Shield? I've just realized that the items are all very, very expensive and I'm sure 10-15 Divine won't be enough.
For example, your chest is really strong and 1000 ES is expensive, is half enough?
What about trying to fit in the More max lightning dmg as a weapon swap? It would also put you closer to spectral ward.
There is no planner with grimfeast in it? We keep all the spirit cost gems and the grimfeast over it?
im currently lvl 73. when do you think would be the best time to switch to this build over the previous one?
I lack DPS after the swap.. using a 440 pdps weapon
Build actually sucks late endgame had to reroll back to lighting arrow with rod.
Its fine tell around t15 but after that the damage is way too low.
Sucks because it feels so smooth and fun to play. Also the energy shield swap is so lame and bad game design by GGG they need to nerf es.

I'm having some big problems with the Weapon Swap Points. 1. I'm level 89 and have everything skilled as in your skill tree, but when I want to assign the Weapon Set Points, they are not enough and I can't skill everything you have skilled. Can someone explain to me where the error is and tell me what I have to do correctly. I would really appreciate it. ^^
Thoughts on making this build as a monk?
can someone help? i copied all the gears and passive. my hp became 2k+ but my shield is 150 only. is it on skill gems?
Im flying through most parts of the game with the previous build with the acrobatics, yet I do tend to die a lot from oneshots from simple hits, such as traps in trials of sekhemas, some bombs on the ground/mobs exploding etc.
2300 Life
70% with acrobatics
Will Energy Shield give me the last bit to even succeed the trials?
Or is it my Elemental Resistance
I’m currently having 45% ele and 75% chaos
I have a question, if I drop "Herald of Ash" for "Grim Feast", do I miss a lot? I don't have enough spirit to accumulate both.
Im running around with 79% evasion with acrobatics pls don’t tell me its gets bad above t16 maps as for now I mostly run 8mod corrupted t15 there it feels very strong
I know this question is a little bit out of place, but have you looked at plasma blast for a build? I love the skill but not on a deadeye. Thinking about using that on a stormweaver with elemental storm.
Waaaaay too slow to fire off other than once as a boss starts spawning
A body armour with atleast 1000 ev and 400 es with spirit is like 10 divs how much did you get that for?
the only thing i fail to understand is which tree do you use for weapon set 1 ( explosive shot ) and which for set 2 ? (shockburst )
Red for explosive shot. All of the aoe stuff. Green for shockburst, all the lightning stuff
Nice build! can't we utilize cast on shock/freeze somehow like fubgun is doing for insane dps?
what about hand of wisdom on this build?
Im following the build but going armour and evasion.. hope it still feels comfy at high tier maps
Does speccing out of the reload nodes make the gameplay feel slow
With this upgrades the build feels reaaaaally smooth doing content, also using WASD with crossbow the game feels like you are playing hotline miami
What level do you think this switch is viable? 90+? Currently sitting at 82 with some currency to spend.
What does acrobatics do exactly? Because I thought evasion already worked on all hits? Is there somewhere that explains it more in detail?
press c, hover over evasion
evasion does not work on aoe hits. Acro makes it work.
Okay, I’ve taken this build to t15, and starting at t13 I started to die frequently to random one shots. The issue is, I have zero divines to my name and I have only had 3 drop in the time I took me to get to t15 maps lol idk where to go from here. I die too much to keep wasting high tier maps and can’t really afford this very expensive energy shield and evasion hybrid gear
The game just needs to be balanced. It's early access so I would expect changes pretty quick. It's hard to take the game and builds seriously when people are having weird builds like this to pretty much take advantage of how broken energy shield is.
how did u get 155 str and 155 int with 203 dex???
what is the supp gem on overwhelming presence?
Just respecced to ES/Eva from ARM/Eva and its such a massive improvement its insane. Went from 2.5k life to 1.8k life + 2k ES, and I haven't even gotten all the Eva/Es nodes yet.
With full tailwind + wind dancer stacks, im now sitting at 25k Eva without Acrobatics, and I recover 1k+ ES whenever I take a hit. Basically never dying now.
how do you recover 1k es when hit?
Ghost shroud spirit gem generate charges where it recovers es based on 5% of your evasion when you are hit.
Godsent video bro, like and tysm
Just curious why you don't have Giantslayer nodes on the weapon swap. Seems like it would be the perfect thing for it.
dmg vs rares is great on mainhand, no reason to swap
How do you get ancient aegis? Im confused
Combining the amulet with the delirium provides a passive skill.
One thing I really hate is the aura that enemies get from overwhelming presence. Literally makes that skill feel unplayable for me.
Hey pal can i also use this on my bloodmage? I am currently stuck on lvl 39 after taking my first ascendancy!
No. Honestly just reroll a new char. My first Char was a Bloodmage. It's just rough to get to work. I leveled it to 75 with the pre nerf cast on freeze setup with a freezing shards staff. (no mana cost on my spam button) but since the nerf its borderline unplayable, since its too hard to sustain the life cost on skills. Until they rework or massively buff the life remnants node, blood mage is dead. I rerolled to deadeye with palsterons build and im having a blast! currently lvl 83 and its fun as hell.
Sadly bloodmage is crap at 1, Couture of Crimson unique + Leech on a unascended witch is a explicit upgrade over bloodmage in 99.99% of build with current gear options unless you play the "trade league" till 4th ascendancy complete.
Gemling legionare str stacking and than doing whatever you want. Double stat value plus same support gems on both skills is just better. I dont know how did you came up with ranger being better.
I don't understand why they decide to make grim feast to double ur es. Currently running demon form with 300hp and 6k es which makes it 12k with grim. Think they should make grim only refill ur es to max not double and that would make it bit much fair. Not sure what could be other way to fix es without breaking some builds.
Did you replace voltaic mark for grim feast?
Please update your maxroll guide with an endgame defensive version of passives/gems/gear ❤
Buddy since rerolling to your build and getting evasion to cap (90%) and without acrobatics . 1400 hp I'm clearing 13s with no problems actually haven't died since . Keep range stay in good position and just open fire plus move speed of 50%+ bugger all can even get close anyway
So is Guard just Ward but reworded?
How much spirit does this build require?
I don’t think energy shield is too strong but more that the other defenses are PISS POOR WEAK. IMO.
Can I still try this build even if I don't have the exotic unique masks
It goes for a few exalts, you can easily buy it.
@ yeah I got one 2 days ago
Can you make this to Gemling Legionaire?
So i should do the weapon swapping tree only when on endgame gear ? could you elaborate a bit on the passive tree with weapon swap ?
You should try to implement weapon swap asap. It basically saves you up to 24 points and that's very valuable early on. Somewhere around 50-60
@@googleplaynow9608 i have 2 decent weapons but im unsure what to pick on the tree, because the tree on website show stuff with endgame gear/es. Im still in evasion gear and cant afford swapping gear yet. So what points am i supposed to pick on 1st weapon and 2 nd weapon, is there a tree to show it
@@googleplaynow9608weapon swapping still uses your regular skill points.
Im new to the game why ranger not mercenary?
yo, what about CI? I play HC Gas arrow DE
how do you get ancient aegis on amulet? what does annointing it mean, I cant find an explanation.
use distilled fear
An anointment is basically putting a skill tree notable on your amulet. The items needed drop from delirium content, I believe. Distilled fear, distilled ire, etc. you can hover over a notable in the passive tree and it will tell you which ones you need for each specific notable. They can be bought on trade site or the currency exchange. Each of the items should prompt you with “right click this item to open window” yada yada and you place your amulet in that window and whichever distilled items it asks for, hit anoint and you’re good to go. Some are expensive so search each one before you start wasting money.
Im avoiding ANYTHING with grim feast right now, there is absolutely no way the Nerf hammer aint coming on this first the second they back from holidays lol
I mean you could just use it for the next 2 weeks or so probably. It’s not a big investment or something, just a skill gem. If ES is nerfed into the ground to the point that a pivot like Palsteron made here is problematic to undo, they would need to wait until the first EA League/Season/Content Release with economy reset for it to not be horrid PR. I think it’s safe to pivot into ES for the remainder of the initial EA standard league for that reason.
Play stuff for more than 2 days in a row? that's a win in my book lmao
It feels so good, imma use it until I lose it. NeverDieMonk.
it cost me 2d chest (had luck for 1100/400, some nice resists and a little life) and respec few nodes -> basically nothing and im 3x tankiner. It is fucking worth even if it is for 3 days :D (which is probably more)
I switched from LA, overall this build feels stronger, although more clunky. The only thing that sucks is boss kill. Not comparable to Fubgun's LA boss kill at all.
Fub guns LA deadeye is fantastic. True one button clear and 2 buttons on boss that disintegrates in seconds.
@@darkscarlet4600 boss kill is definitely better for LA, but overall clear on the same budget is nowhere near explosive shot for LA. For party MF breach clear LA just straight up sucks.
Don't care about amount of buttons, as I usually love to have more shit to press, I feel like that's the gameplay.
How do you get that much Int?
At what point in the game should to swap to ES?
I think t15 and above
How do you have Explosion Bolt on LC and Storm on Rightclick?
Hit G to open skills, and drag the skill icon to your bar.
@Uber_GoobTube idk i get reload when i drag them
@@ShaKuar put reloads as 1 and 2, then put crossbow bolt on left click. reload explosive to load it, then shoot with crossbow bolt and when u wanna switch to lightning hit 2 to load the electrical one
For the 2nd weapon what mods do u aim for?
pretty much the same stats for both damage wise you want high phys. the difference is you only need "loads an additional bolt" on the explosive shot crossbow making the second one without it cheaper
Trying to get a three dragons mask bad to try this build out…
Ancient aegis is so far away.. How do u get this?
Neck anoinment for amulet. Go currency exchange the bottom items you can combine to gain a Bug boy passive from the tree. Google you’ll find the combinations, some are very expensive.
level 52 right now and my damage is terrible. Need help.
Yo Palsteron, please show a witch hunter version of this please brother.
Anyone know what else to use now that The Three Dragons is 1 div?
There is no alternative for Three dragons, the build does not function without it.
I bought it for 10ex today so don't give up and keep sending whispers
It's not 1div you're getting scammed, set the currency on the bottom to "exalts" not "relative"
change the currency to "exalts" and you'll see cheaper options
bought mine like 2 days ago for 1 exalt wtf
I wouldn't rely on something, that is going to be shot in head twice.
Not annoiting the body armour evasion added as energy shield and grabbing the helmet es added as evasion helmet is a crime.
I think at this point this build is better as invoker, i am playing galvanic deadeye and i wish i was invoker.
Solve spirit issue, phys defence, extra cold and Light dmg or unbound
Extra proj doesnt do much for shockburst, you compansate some skill speed at invoker start
How do you think mapping will feel? I chose this build because I got tired of running around the map lol. Tailwind seems so good defensively as well with the 30% less
Tbf, you had a pretty bad chest going into t15/16 maps, it is very easy to get a 2k+ evasion chest, and I barely die. Just a different setup, I really dont think either of them is particularly better than the other
Danke PAL . Der Build ist geisteskrank🤙🏻
Yeah since I'm lv 89 I just keep dying with only evasion, gonna swap to energy shield for sure
Damn, this is genius
nope, just copying monks homework
What is even the point of using life? Trying to make warrior work, but it just so bad.
Life buff when?
Is a pure phys xbow better than lets say with any kind of elemental dmg on it? or is it just the highest dps overall which is important, dps wise? Ty !
Super build if one could get the hands on the Three Dragons mask. ::(
That's the problem? I thought it would be the 25 divine weapon xD
@@Uber_GoobTube Well masks are from 1-8ex but no one will sell it, just bait for others to sell it low and buy using bots... And current price is 1div for this mask... which is way too much. Weapon yeah probably is 25divs some really top tier, but weapon can be upgraded gradually.
@@unmute9147 got one for 15 ex last night, tried and tried at the 1 but youre right, bait
So many travel nodes to get to those bottom damage nodes so I skipped them and went up to CI instead and took all of those %ev/%es nodes.
tks man, save us
Finally found a Ranger Energy Shield Build and its the wrong weapon
3 charm slots, only uses 2. just ethical things
First thing I noticed lol
I've kind of ran into a wall with pricing on traditional bow deadeye around map 12-14. Looked at prices for crossbows and was blown away at how cheap. I really wish sometimes there were caps to pricing because it kind of prevents casuals from certain builds. Anyways, i probably need a cheaper alternative because offense is defense on deadeye and not having 20+ div every day means deadeye is dead for casuals
No I’m running fubgun type of build, I only spent 3div on a bow and 2div on jewelry orbs which you need for every build. Doing T15s, Running Ultimatum and Sanctum just fine. I was doing all this before I bought the bow as well
@gears7333 guess our definition of "fine" is different. I bought a 3div dualstring bow that is actually worse than the bow i was using, but the dualstring is way over priced.
@gears7333 also, how's the defense? Resistances? You said fub-like build... What's your differences?
@@blakecorkill i ran the fubgun build until i got burned out and switched to this, it really is doable even on like 5 div which was what i paid there is alternatives to everything he is using for much cheaper you don't even need dualstring i didn't use dual and clear was fine 75 75 75 75 res with 2,4k life died only once to a 1 shot. didn't do uber bosses so no clue how damage is there but rest of mobs died like nothing
@@ThePapaupa12 yeah I'm really just wanting to shred maps and get currency. Maybe will make a tanky bosser later with currency. Minions were fun but i don't like kiting them around as much as i thought. Maybe slam build.
ggg Buff life don’t need es
Man, I’m in Cruel Act 2 and getting squished.
In acts you should just go pure damage. Your defense is to kill stuff fast. You do need a decent amount of life, and get any res you can of course, but the main focus is damage.
what the 1st guy said x2, true
First priority should be focus on going to the nodes down and to the left. Upgrade your weapons at level 28 and 48. To keep damage going. Don’t spend more than regals or 1 exalt. That price range is fine for leveling.
idk what the fk is wrong im lvl 89 one lvl under you and my tree is totally fked up i cant path to monk cauz i dont have enough point w t f i did exactly the same tree
check the weapon swap explanation in previous videos
@Leon-xq7xr no its just that on the planner he is level 100 lol
@@francoismartiquet5012 ch
I mean I honestly don't think the problem is that ES is that overtuned it's that life is way too weak. LIke remember when we were going to have more life than in POE1 and instead we have like what 3K. I'm running around in a close to max infernalist with 20K ES when fully overflowed and I have been one shot multiple times. Now evasion and acrobatics are good but there's no way to build the defenses needed to live a big hit that makes it through, since the maximum life you can possible get to is what 4K or so while still meeting the dex requirements for level 20 skills
I heard commenting on this video gives you better loot
Defenses, What heresy is this?
Ay-Jis.
