Level 96 Crit Elemental Hit of the Spectrum Deadeye^3.25

Notes

This POB is designed for for a few major things:

1) To get through the campaign as fast as possible
2) To Progress through the Atlas until Blight Maps are available
3) To go between Blight Maps and atlas progression to keep Kingsmarch running!
4) I plan to play this build for only a couple days then swap off into something new! Warden? Bleed? SHIELD BLOCK EXPLODE GLADIATOR OF THROWING SHIELDS?
Tl;dr I dont know if I personally will get to high end gear investment with this build and I am subject to rerolling asap once I get mageblood/headhunter.

I AM A CRONIC REROLLER PLZ DONT BE ALARMED IF ITS DAY LIKE 5 AND IM ON SOME NEW CRAZY BUILD THIS IS LITERALLY MY LEAGUE STARTER FOR THE WEEKEND :3

If I take this build further and add clusters and do things I will update the youtube description of the video and I will post updates along the weekend as I go! 

 This build will excel with gear found off trade if you go that route. Extremely SSF viable - I PERSONALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR HARDCORE 


If you want to see all the changes / swaps / updates my profile will be public and I will be streaming the whole thing at Twitch.tv/Travic


We are Lightning Arrow until Elemental Hit Of The Spectrum is available!

There is an interaction with Lightning Arrow + Glacial Towers in Blight so we can swap Elemental Hit Of The Spectrum Out for Lightning Arrow in Blight but it needs more testing!


If you over level an act and have extra points just goto the next act in the skill tree! Do not sit on extra points (I know one of you is going to sit on points and not know its ok to go further in the tree *cough cough twitch chat*)


BUY AN INT AMULET FROM THE VENDOR ASAP!!!!!!!


*****NOTE*******
YOU ONLY NEED TO LEVEL PRECISION IF AND ONLY IF YOUR ACCURACY IS LOWER THAN YOUR TOTAL LIFE POOL FOR PRECISE TECHNIQUES

Note For Leveling! I used Galvanic Arrow until the Swap to Lightning Arrow when I hit a four link! You can choose to level Rain of Arrows when you hit level 12 instead. Both skills are very good! 

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE WITH LEVELING YOU WANT TO KEEP UP TO DATE WITH THE DAMAGE ON YOUR BOW! HAVING MORE DPS ON YOUR BOW WILL INCREASE THE OVERALL LEVELING EXPERIENCE YOU WILL HAVE.
You want to make sure to upgrade your bow every act/other act with either essenses, picking them up off the floor, crafting on an elemental damage to compliment a bow you find. Just overal like with any other class keep up with your weapon. 
I have done many a runs clearning the campaign with a 200 dps bow and a quiver from act 1-2 on stream. While it is still doable in the under 5 hour mark finding a bow to increase dps just feels better and makes gameplay way smoother.

Socket coloring with gear - Blue sockets can be rather difficult to maintain (atleast in my experience) while I recommend using FrostBlink this is a personal prefernce movement skill. It is much easier to socket in Dash and use Dash. 
The combination of Blink Arrow -> Dash is pretty good and if you want to go quicker and lose some damage you can take the Blink Arrow CDR mastery though I personally do not.

The int and strength nodes I take are only for the campaign and leveling, once you sort out your gear you should not need them. Only take them as needed

Act 1 - I mention to take to take Primal Spirit early for early access to Int/Strength and mana regen. These nodes are great! In some runs I grab them early in some runs I grab them later. I always see myself needing them in every run by the time I hit 
act 4. Usually you can take them whenever and be ok. I prefer going towards Aspect of the Eagle and Heart of Oak before Brutus and Mervail just to help with the damage.

Act 2 - Bandits! If you want to alleviate some stress on gear Save Alira for 15 all res and + 1 skill point. This will be useful very early in the league!

Act 3 - TAKE THE INT AMULET FROM THE REWARDS!!!!


FOR AURAS NOTE THE FOLLOWING -

IF YOU NEED MORE RESISTANCES USE PURITY OF ELEMENTS 
IF YOU NEED MORE MOVEMENT SPEED USE HASTE
IF YOU NEED MORE DAMAGE USE ANGER
IF YOU NEED MORE DEFENSES GRACE

COMBINATIONS OF AURA I SUGGEST

ANGER + Haste - Gotta Go Fast Setup
Purity of Elements + Haste - I NEED RESISTANCES WHILE GOING FAST
Purity of Elements + Anger - I NEED RESISTANCES AND DAMAGE

For me personally I will be more then likely doing Purity of Elements + Anger/Grace, In my testing I only had Herald of Ice into Anger - Once Resistances are Fixed and we have ailment immunity we can drop
purity of elements thats later tho!

Act 4 / 5 - We swap off Galvanic / Rain of arrows when we get a 4 link for Lightning Arrows - until then DO NOT MAKE THE SWAP
4 green is ideal for the lightning arrow swap but I included other link combinations incase you dont find 4 green and want to make the swap right away!

Act 6-10 skills and notes - You can add on LifeTap to artillery ballista instead of faster attacks if you have have mana issues. The same goes for Lightning Arrow once you feel comfortable enough to put it on LifeTap do it 

For Act 6 I like fully swapping chain into my setup and did a few test runs on stream with it. Chain felt amazing and the extra projectiles bouncing around felt like more dps and better clear in the long run. You will be using
Artillery Ballista for your single target so that wont be an issue and you will clear multiple screens with chain.

I took the Strength and Int nodes because in my SSF play through I ran into problems with Strength and Int! As you get better gear and can make up for this problem you can drop these nodes. THEY ARE ONLY HERE IF AND ONLY IF 
YOU NEED THEM


Maps!!! - Precision is on Arrogance Support UNTIL YOU GET THE UNIQUE AMULET CALLED Hyrri's Truth - Once you get this amulet you can remove precision from your arrogance if you choose to. ONLY LEVEL PRECISION AS NEEDED IF
EVER NEEDED

**NOTE THE LEVELS OF THE CAST WHEN DAMAGE TAKEN SETUP!!!!***

**Pantheons** We are going with the Stun Pantheon and Bleed Pantheon (change as needed for content you are running) - Brine King and Ralakesh


***HOW TO GET TAMING RINGS*****

Either Buy It On Trade ~50chaos day1-2 (PLEASE NOTE PRICES MAY VARY DO NOT HOLD ME TO THESE PRICES)
or
Buy the following rings and vendor recipie them:

1) Berek's Respite (this is the expensive one, can be farmed via div card on Atoll *thanks balefire for telling me about this*
2) Berek's Grip (usually 1-3c)
3) Berek's Pass (usually 1-3c)

Gear in maps! 

For this note just fill out gear / resistances as needed! There isnt going to be a whole big thing you need for gear to really get into high end mapping just get life and fill out your resistances! If you can get chaos resistance on anything do it! 
Also if you can get Strength and Int on your gear pieces this will help free up 2 points on the passive skill tree. These points can be put into Frenzy Charges!
