Notes

For those who thrive on speed, farming maps, and amassing Poe currency quickly, the clear winner this league is the Lightning Arrow DeadEye build. This build has gained immense popularity due to its effectiveness and versatility. Lightning Arrow synergizes perfectly with the DeadEye's Far Shot node, allowing projectiles to cover vast distances and deal substantial damage upon return. Unlike alternatives like chain and fork, returning projectiles support offers optimal damage output without the drawbacks.

Gear-wise, Lightning Arrow builds enjoy the advantage of a wide array of affordable items on the market, with the only major expense typically being the chest piece. Notably, Ahuana's Bite, a newly introduced item, stands out as a powerful quiver option, boosting cold damage, resistance, life gain on hit, and damage amplification against chilled enemies.

Gameplay-wise, Lightning Arrow works exceptionally well with the league mechanic, making it an ideal choice for efficient progression. Setting up and defending totems at the backlines aligns seamlessly with the build's mechanics.

Pros:
Clear Speed: Lightning Arrow Dead Eye offers exceptional map-clearing capabilities, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy rapid farming and accumulating currency.
Returning Projectiles: The returning projectiles support enhances damage output, surpassing alternatives like chain or fork supports. This synergizes well with the Dead Eye's Far Shot node, resulting in efficient long-range damage.
Synergy with League Mechanic: This build excels in the current league mechanic, where setting up totems and defending them align seamlessly with its mechanics.

Cons:
Gear Dependency: While most gear is reasonably priced, the cost of certain items, especially the chest piece, can be high. This might impact your progression, especially early in the league.
Potential Gear Scarcity: High demand for specific gear may lead to limited availability, affecting build progression.
Underwhelming Single-Target Damage: While the build offers excellent clear speed, its single-target damage may feel lacking against tougher enemies or bosses.
