Specific Equipment

The Call of the Brotherhood Topaz Ring is essential as it makes this build deviate from a normal Lightning Bow build. With this unique ring, all Lightning Damage is converted to Cold Damage. This allows Freeze and Shatter synergies which makes for massive burst and crowd control potential!

The Dualstring Bow allows all attacks to fire an additional arrow. The additional projectile, along with Endless Munitions, will allow you to quickly set up Lightning Rods to massively increase the damage of your combo. Try to stack as many Critical Modifiers as this build relies on to maximize its damage output!

The Primed Quiver's base effect gives the build a flat percentage increase to Attack Speed, ultimately increasing this build's damage output.

General Equipment

Apart from the specific equipment listed, all of the armor of this build relies on stacking as much Evasion Maximum Life, and Elemental Resistances modifiers as possible to help survive in the higher Atlas tiers.

Additionally, get at least +30 Spirit on your amulet since this build utilizes both Herald of Ice and Wind Dancer as Spirit Skills!

The best runes to slot in for Armor should be Elemental Resistances as it is crucial to have neutral or positive resistances to survive higher levels. The best rune to slot in for Weapons is two Iron Runes as the skills included naturally convert the Physical Damage to Lightning!

Passive Tree Pathing

The passive tree priority for overall DPS is to take nodes that grant Projectile Damage, increased Quiver Effects, Attack Damage, Elemental Damage, Critical Hit Rate/Damage, Skill Speed, and Elemental Ailment Magnitude.

For the defenses, take nodes that grant bonuses to Evasion Rating as this build will rely on a high base Evasion for its survivability, especially when taking Beastial Skin into consideration.

The ascendancy group nodes for the Deadeye Ascendancy, Endless Munitions, and Wind Ward are included. Endless Munitions grants you another projectile, allowing for quicker and deadlier attacks. Wind Ward gives the build bonuses to Tailwind, allowing for better movement and evasion!

As a general note when progressing through the attribute highways, make sure to dedicate +20 on Strength to equip the necessary support gems.

Secondly, get some Intelligence stats so that you can slot in Voltaic Mark. After that, fully prioritize Dexterity to further increase Evasion!

Magnetic Salvo Deadeye Ranger Playstyle

General Rotation

Naturally, this build is equipped to deal with hordes and bosses with Lightning Rod + Magnetic Salvo combination.

While following a playstyle revolving around properly sequencing your skills to maximize damage, the skill rotation should be:

1. Use Voltaic Mark and Stormcaller Arrow to apply the Shocked status ailment.
2. Set up Lightning Rods (up to a maximum of 19) on grouped up or isolated enemies
3. Use Magnetic Salvo and allow it to home in on the Lightning Rods to consume them, Shocking and Freezing enemies in place.
