> Leveling - Passive Tree Notes <
- Bows are VERY FLEXIBLE in Passive Tree order. Feel free to deviate and experiment!
- Burning Brutality and Weathered Hunter are EXCELLENT early game nodes that will provide A LOT OF DAMAGE, ALL RESIST & ACCURACY BUT will delay the Crit Swap
- 30 Strength & Intelligence nodes will be required from time to time and are not show in the tree progression. Consider keeping Frostblink/FlameDash & Warbanner at Level 1.


MAKE SURE YOU GET THE LIGHTNING DAMAGE CRAFTS
4 Transmutes - PREFIX - LOCATION: Act 3 TOP LEFT of Piety's Arena in Lunaris Level 2
2 Alchemy - Prefix - LOCATION: Act 7 Chamber of Sins Level 2 by the Map Device

When should one swap to CRIT?
a) Force it at Level 60+ no matter the Bow & Passive Tree setup
b) Wait till a Crit Bow Base or any Bow with Above 5% Crit
c) Increased Critical Strikes Support can be a valid 5th Gem, best paired with Increased Critical Damage Support.

Note: The reason to swap to crit earlier, even if it is equal or potentially worse during early progression is because efficient non-crit scaling runs out of damage by T16 content and is surpassed by crit.

> Maps - An Example Atlas Setup (Brief) <

I will run something like this:

Searing Exarch Altars Currency & XP Farm
Delirium
Breach (if an open map layout is available, good for xp!)
Ultimatum (if we can complete it without fail)

Pick 2 ADJACENT MAPS -- Example Combo:
1 Narrow Fast Farmer (Example: Waste Pool). KIRAC MODIFIER: Domination or Ambush.
1 Open Layout Map (Good for Breaches, Example: Mud Geyser) KIRAC MODIFIER: Breach or Ambush or Beyond.
Use a Wandering Path Atlas Tree.

Playstyle: 
DO MAPS FAST
Click Altars that provide Value but do not brick the character/map.

There are 3 Tiers of Progression for this Farm
No League Mechanics - Can do this after Eater Exarch and some basic Power Level.
Add a League Mechanic - In this farm, Breach and/or Ultimatum. Requires more character Power.
Multiply it with Beyond - Very difficult. Requires strong damage, survivability, & attentiveness to playstyle.



> Wildwood Ascendancy (Theory) < 
- In Theory Available from A2 Onward
- Movement Speed is a very strong stat on Deadeyes
- Thus, Warden of the Maji is recommended to possibly select OATH of the MAJI for
"30% increased Movement Speed if you have Equipped Boots with no Socketed Gems"

I would try to run only a Singular Manaforged Setup and drop optional gems during progression to make it work
Strong 4Link or 4Socket bows (and items in general) will help make this work
There is also a very strong argument to forgo sockets in boots altogether, even during maps. And only putting an Extra Manaforged Setup (that was being leveled in the offhand) on boss fights.

If we strongly value OATH of the MAJI & choose to play as a Warden then the following notables are of interest.
Coated Blade - Apply Tinctures to Weapons (Should be very strong and most likely mandatory)
Nature's Concoction - For Flask Uptime --> More Damage or Survivability during Boss Fights
Enduring Suffusion - Depending on the Tincture, can be incredibly strong

Of lesser interest
Wildwood Blessing - More evasion early on helps mitigate no Grace
Lesson of the Seasons - Potential Ailment Immunity angle

> FAQ <

Rain of Arrows or Lightning Arrow at Level 12. Pros & Cons?
Rain of Arrows is much faster than other bow skills during leveling but requires an intentional effort to kill more monsters in comparison to skills such as Lightning Arrow.
Lightning Arrow will be slightly slower at progression but should offer a bit more XP and Gear during progression.

Example:
RoA = 3H A10 Kitava, Gear not so great https://youtu.be/f0riwWC_CZk
Lightning Arrow = 3h13m A10 Kitava, Strong Gear https://youtu.be/_-hibuh5DA4


Manaforged Arrows versus Totems?
- I found both setups to do equal damage versus Searing Exarch
- Supplemental Totems will feel good in A1/A2. A3+ they felt equal.
- Pick whichever version fits your playstyle. It's basically changing a singular 4L


When do I swap to Crit?
a) Force it at Level 60 to 70+ no matter the Bow & Passive Tree setup (this is what I've been doing)
b) Wait till a Crit Bow Base or any Bow with Above 5% Crit
c) Increased Critical Strikes Support can be a valid 5th Gem, best paired with Increased Critical Damage Support.

Note: The reason to swap to crit earlier, even if it is equal or potentially worse during early progression is because efficient non-crit scaling runs out of damage by T16 content and is surpassed by crit.


I'm dying to Elemental Spell Damage
- Are you Resist Capped
- Are you Spell Supression Capped
- Are you Spell Supression Capped without Revenge of the Hunted


I'm dying to Physical Damage
- Run Arctic Armour
- Craft Physical Damage taken as X Elemental Modifiers on Helmet (from Korell) and Chest (from Gravicius, somewhat rare)


I feel like I'm getting surrounded and dying to just a lot of attacks at once
- High Evasion Helps: Consider running Grace or a Jade Flask
- Arctic Armour Helps
- Phasing (via on Kill Effects or a Quartz Flask) Helps 
- CWDT + Steelskin or CWDT + Immortal Call Helps
- Don't Get Hit --> Try to Offscreen Monsters. We are a ranged build, use it!


Why do you run Arctic Armour?
- "Buff grants (11-21)% less Physical Damage taken from Hits while stationary"
- "Buff grants (11-20)% less Fire Damage taken from Hits while stationary"
- "Buff grants Immunity to Freeze"

We are Stationary every time we attack.


Why do you take Ghost Dance?
For some reason, Ghost Shrouds are incredibily underrated as a defensive stat for mid-game progression and endgame mapping or bossing.
Best paired with Evasion (10K+) and a Moderate ES Pool (200-300 or much more).


Why not Raider?
Raider doesn't offer enough damage and the majority of it's stats can be found on gear or the passive tree.


What do you swap Barrage with?
Either Returning Projectiles or Mirage Archer


Why no Piercing Shots?
You can allocate it during mapping. 3 Pierce is unnecessary during boss fights.


How to sustain Lifetap + Manaforged early?
2 Life Flasks
Clever Thief + Instant leech (Great option)
Vitality (optional)
Sharktooth Arrow Base Quiver
Use Lifetap support later (happens often due to socket pressure)


Why help Alira? Can we kill all Bandits?
In a "rush" scenario we don't want to spend too much time gearing and want to focus on pushing harder content.
15% All Res and Crit Multi is very valuable in this context. 
Late game, getting 20 regrets can be used to fix it with better gear (if deemed necessary)



What is the Maven UberElder v2 Aura Nodes Tree?
Optional skill tree routing if you want to run:
- 2 50% Auras (Grace Anger)
- 1 25% Aura (Arctic Armour)
- & Precision (With Increased Mana Reservation Efficiency on Helm or Chest via a Loathing Essence)o
