Pros & Cons

Skill Tree

Ascendancy

1.) Gathering Winds
2.) Far Shot
3.) Endless Munitions
4.) Rupture | alternatively Ricochet (if you went for ass mark ring and +1 chain quiver)

Pantheon

Bosses:

Brine King + Ryslatha - Best overall survivability, stun can be a pain in the ass when there are no mobs to kill around (usually depend on the boot lab enchant for stun avoidance)

Mapping:

Lunaris + Gurukhan - Move speed + avoidance (good alternatives are chaos damage reduction and bleed avoidance on minor gods)

Bandit: Help Alira

IMPORTANT: You can use a +1 arrow or +1 chain corruption on quivers (highly recommended).

If you use the +1 arrow quiver then pick Rupture instead of Ricochet and use Vulnerability on your ring.

If you use the +1 chain quiver then take Ricochet instead of Rupture and use Assassins mark on your ring.

Gems Setup

Aim for a 21/20 Barrage and a 21/20 Vaal Rain of Arrows gem.

IMPORTANT: Barrage needs to be socketed inside the Lioneye's Vision chestpiece.

[from most important to least, prioritize like this]

Barrage (6L) = Brutality > Vicious Projectiles > Impale > Maim > Slower Projectiles

Vaal Rain of Arrows (6L) = Brutality > Vicious Projectiles > Impale > Maim > Slower Projectiles or Concentrated Effect (if you have enough int)

1st 4L (or 2L+2L) = CWDT(7) + Steelskin (9)+[/b] + Ice Golem(9) + Increased Duration(20)

2nd 4L = Pride(20) + Herald of Purity(20) + Dread banner(20) + Enlighten(3)

3rd Tombfist Gloves (can be 1, optimal is 2 abyssal sockets) = Portal(20) + Faster Casting(20) + two Abyssal Jewels (make sure to have at least one Murderous abyssal jewel as it procs intimidate which is 10% more DPS)

Gear Setup

3.10 note! Rare bows with +2 arrows are possible now! If you find a 350+pdps rare bow, make sure to use it instead of Arborix because it wont have a downside (probably going to be expensive af though)!

Recommended uniques:

Use a Tabula Rasa or any decent yellow 5L until you get your 5L or 6L Lioneye's vision. An excellent leveling bow is Silverbough, use Arborix as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT: Notice the enchant on the boots. This one is necessary (at least merciless lab, uber level enchant is optimal)

You can use a +1 arrow or +1 chain corruption on quivers (highly recommended).

If you use the +1 arrow quiver then pick Rupture instead of Ricochet and use Vulnerability on your ring.

If you use the +1 chain quiver then take Ricochet instead of Rupture and use Assassins mark on your ring.

Leveling Tips

• Use one Praxis ring to handle the mana costs until you get mana leech on your Lioneye's Vision chestpiece
• prioritize Life and Resistances -> a good starting item is Goldrim, you can basically wear it to maps with the resists it provides, afterwards you want an armor based helm with life and resists
• boots should have movement speed -> Wanderlust are a great choice for starting out, later on equip armor boots with movespeed, life and some resistances
• links are important, more links more damage -> at Act I you should have a 3L, at Act III a 4L and around Act V if you get lucky or buy one (shouldn't be too expensive) buy a 5L chest and throw an alch/essence on it
• accuracy, attack speed, critical strike chance and spell damage ALL help you
