This Deadeye Ranger build is designed to progress the Atlas by fully utilizing Endless Munitions Ascendancy Skill to fill the screen with various grenades while staying nimble. This build clears enemy mobs with a combination of Explosive, Gas, and Oil Grenades!
Early on, the build will be using a Bow that utilizes Lightning Arrow and Stormcaller Arrow. As you progress, this build will transition to a Crossbow-focused build that relies on grenades. If you get a Crossbow early on that has bonuses to any damage type, you can choose to get the Crossbow skills already.

Upon reaching the Atlas, stacking up on Maximum Life, Evasion and Elemental Resistances is essential since the enemies there can easily burst down unprepared adventurers. Aim for general damage boost modifiers, even elemental ones on your Crossbow!
Furthermore, try to slot in a +30 in Spirit to slot in Clarity, Vitality, and the Precision support gems on Wind Dancer for increased mana regeneration!
As for the auxiliary modifiers, get Gain Life/Mana on Kill to increase your overall survivability since this build can clear hordes of enemies reliably. This build's health and mana will quickly fill up after sending enemies flying with one combo!
The best runes to slot in depends on the damage the Crossbow scales from! For example, if its damage is purely physical, it is best to slot in Iron Runes. For armors, slot in whatever resistances you need, but if they are capped out, go for Body Runes to increase Maximum Life!

The build will mainly use the combo between Explosive and Gas Grenades as its go-to attack. This combo is further empowered by the Deadeye Ascendancy, "Endless Munitions", to increase the amount of Grenades you can dole out.
Having support gems for Explosive Grenades such as Fast Forward to cover its slow fuse times with damage boosters such as Primal Armament, Immolate, and Heft makes it a very lethal skill.
Gas Grenade is included to increase explosive reactions. When enemies are ignited with Explosive Grenade, all of your Gas Grenades will explode and deal tons of damage at the cost of being consumed.
The build will also utilize two Persistent Skills, those being Herald of Ash and Wind Dancer:

As you start the first few levels, get Honed Instincts and Clean Shot to get as much Projectile Damage in the early game and avoid only having Primary Attributes. If you reach the point where you can allocate to Heavy Ammunition with the skill points you have, follow the unhighlighted path to access it!
During the mid-game, make a short detour to get the Projectile Damage nodes on the Catapult node. After that, make a beeline for Short Shot to increase your damage capabilities. You will mainly take this path during the mid-game to quickly reach the Volatile Grenades, Cluster Bombs, and Grenadier nodes to reduce fuse durations and increase projectiles.
After reaching the end game, respecc the Catapult and the attribute highway nodes highlighted in blue to include the additional Evasion Nodes and Mana Sustainability for comfort and have access to the upper portion of the skill tree.
The passive tree priority for overall DPS is to take nodes that grant Projectile Damage, Area of Effect, Increased Elemental Damage, Attack Damage, and Speed.
Naturally, this build attempts to deal massive AoE damage capable of bursting down bosses with the Explosive Grenade + Gas Grenade combo. The additional Fire Damage should take chunks off any opponent's health when further enhanced with Oil Grenades.
While following a playstyle revolving around sticking close to the enemy to pelt them with bombs, the skill rotation should be:
The inclusion of Flash Grenade is to add to this build's survivability and its setup potential by allowing you to stun multiple enemies. This is further enhanced by Voltaic Grenade with its ability to Electrocute enemies to have better chances of a stun.
For auxiliary skills that further add to DPS, Oil Grenade is included to inflict Fire Exposure and apply a slow, making your combo more potent and consistent. Oil Grenade is best used against Rare enemies and bosses!
