thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! Finally a guide that helps with more than just buttons to push! I also just happened to get Quill Rain Shortbow while helping my daughter in act 2 boss ... it shoots Crazy fast.... dmg is low.... How can I make this work????
I appreciate the feedback! More guides to come in the near future. Quill Rain has that problem, it's very fun for Act 1 but a rare weapon will outperform it for the rest of the game. I'd swap it for a rare bow and put in the stash and use it on another character when leveling! I even partially leveled my monk using a bow until I unlocked Ice strike
The cast on shock lightning ball variation of ranger deadeye is a great build - very powerful. I created this one and excluded shock lightning ball because the shock lightning requires an investment into Dexterity and Intelligence. I figured that a (mostly) pure dex build is a bit simpler to gear and good for a budget build. I believe there are budget versions of cast on shock lightning ball that perform great and if it looks interesting for you, definitely go for it!!
Can you help me understand how your dps on the arrow is 28k. I am lvl 84 got the same tree almost the same gear and got 11k. Not clearing T15 cause of the lack of damage
I'm happy to help. Make sure you're taking all the damage nodes. You said you have the same tree so I'll assume the gear is lacking. Forgive me but I'll just fire off a bunch of questions and we can try to narrow it down. What's your physical DPS on your bow? Do you have flat physical as well (x to x for physical damage)? Attack speed or +1 levels levels to projectiles? This is the starting point where small upgrades make a decent difference. Don't forget to increase the quality to 20% once you have the right one. A key miss for a lot of people is the quiver - For example, a minor quiver upgrade with the right stats gave me 6-7k extra dps A good quiver will give you X to X for physical, X to X for lightning, projectile speed 35% or more, attack speed base with additional attack speed. Check my quiver in the video and see if you have close to the same. Do you have attack on the gloves? X to X for physical, X to X for lightning, attack speed What level are the skill gems? Did you get the extra projectile for your ascendency points?

Bow is okay- I personally choose to go with non-dual string for this build until you are able to farm maps and earn more currency to upgrade your gear all around. The dual string has a lot lower attack speed which will have reduced DPS and it slows me down bossing quite a bit. Dual string is great once you are able to get your damage higher- Highest physical DPS is the goal starting out. The trade site updates very frequently so I'm sure you could upgrade here and sell yours for similar price. I've been streaming every day for a month. If you hop in my stream tomorrow or any time I'm live, message in the chat and remind me -- I'll give you a bow for free that will help a lot - I save some extras to giveaway or past upgrades that haven't sold. Quiver - Good stats but missing high projectile speed which is a big damage boost because it stacks with Feathered Fletching node - it allows increases to projectile speed to apply to damage with bows. Search for 35% or more projectile speed. I'd bet your damage shoots quite a bit here with those upgrades. Gloves - okay for now - lightning damage would be a boost over cold and/or a decent attack speed roll will help but not necessary. I'd say the bow and quiver are the main culprits. Were you able to get 4 support gems in lightning arrow?
So you think we can start with 1 exalted and farm the rest over time for pieces of gear? I’m having a hard time middle a2 around level 31 I think. The build I was following stopped at 30 so I’m sort of guessing what will work for the rest of my talents
Absolutely! Use the 1 exalt to trade for a good bow around level 30-35 and farm from there. A good bow may last you to level 45-50. By this time you'll have another exalt so use that for a new bow and sell the old one for the same price you bought it for. Get damage nodes early! The nice part about deadeye is that a good offense = a good defense as long as you are patient and stand back while shooting. Try and recognize what gives you a lot of damage, for example: Attack Speed, Adds X to X Physical or Lightning Damage to Attacks, +1 level to projectile skills, etc. Get Adds X to X Physical or Lightning Damage to Attacks on gloves and both rings , Attack speed on Gloves and Quiver, and find as high of Physical damage Bow as possible.
Totally reworked my passive tree to this
Looks like this is working great
That's super helpful and to the point
Thank you. I'll have more guides coming soon!
Thank you!! This was it!
Glad it helped!!
