| Build Setup | |
|---|---|
 Lightning Deadeye |
 Herald of Thunder While active, killing Shocked enemies with Attack damage, will cause subsequent Attack hits to release lightning bolts which deals Attack damage to all surrounding enemies.
 Lightning Arrow Fires a charged arrow at the target. On hitting an enemy or wall, the arrow will fire Chaining Lightning beams at nearby enemies.
 Lightning Rod Fire an arrow that drops from above, creating a Lightning burst. The arrow remains in the ground, and any Chaining Lightning beams can Chain to it. When Chained to, the arrows release another Lightning burst.
 Voltaic Mark Marks a target, making them more susceptible to being Shocked. When the Marked target dies, a Lightning nova erupts from their corpse. This nova does not use your Weapon Damage, and instead uses its own base Attack Damage.
 Wind Dancer Grants a buff that gives you more Evasion per stage. Being Hit by a Melee Attack while you have this buff consumes all stages to damage and Knock Back enemies around you.
 Rhoa Mount Harnesses a Companion Rhoa that you can ride. While you're mounted on the Rhoa, you can only use Bow, thrown Spear and Mark Skills, you run at full speed when attackin, and Hits against you cause Heavy Stun buildup. While you aren't mounted, the Rhoa attacks your enemies alongside you with its beak, but can be damaged.

Is the Build Expensive?

The Hand of Wisdom and Action Spiral Wraps and Ingenuity Utility Belt are the only unique items recommended for this build at the moment.
List of Unique Equipment: How to Get More Spirit
How to Increase Spirit?
Spirit is highly needed in this build to be able to activate three passive buff skills at once. It is recommended to equip items that increase Spirit such as a Solar Amulet or a body armor with a Spirit modifier. Spirit can also be automatically acquired from clearing quests during the campaign:
- Defeat The King in the Mists in Act 1
- Defeat Ignagduk, the Bog Witch in Act 3 and Act 3 Cruel
Defeating all the bosses mentioned will net you a total of +100 Maximum Spirit.

Weapons
Bow
Equip a high level Gemini Bow or Dualstring Bow to gain the Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow modifier as this affects the Lightning Arrow skill, increasing your projectiles to clear maps and kill bosses easier.
For the off-hand, equip a high level Visceral Quiver that increases Damage, Critical, and Attack Speed.
Armor
Hand of Wisdom and Action Spiral Wraps
Hand of Wisdom and Action Spiral Wraps is recommended for the gloves since it gives a good amount of stats as well as increased Attack Speed and Lightning Damage – two things that are important for Lightning Arrows.
For an alternative and other armor parts, focus on equipment that innately gives Spirit to be able to activate more permanent buff skills. It is also recommended to get an increase in dexterity, attack, and movement speed for its modifiers. All three of these contribute to faster enemy clears during mapping and bossing.
Accessories
Rings
Since this Lightning Deadeye build goes all-in on offensive modifiers as much as possible, Prismatic Rings are recommended as it innately increases resistance to any respective element.
Just be sure to focus on damage, mana leech, and dexterity modifiers.
Amulet
It is recommended to equip a Jade Amulet to gain extra dexterity. Stacking solely on the dexterity stat helps increase accuracy rating, which would mean that attack speed eventually increases once the Falcon Dive passive node is equipped.
Belt
Ingenuity Utility Belt
Ingenuity Utility Belt is recommended to further boost not only the Prismatic Rings elemental resistances but also any offensive modifiers it, effectively buffing the DPS of this Lightning Deadeye build.
Runes and Soul Cores

The Lightning Deadeye build's main offensive skill is the Lightning Arrow. Its damage is boosted with Herald of Thunder and Lightning Rod, while Rhoa Mount and Wind Dancer help with mobility and evasion. The reasons for including the support gems here are indicated below:
- Lightning Arrow - All support gems focus on increasing this skill's DPS by a significant amount either throuh raw damage, projectile count, or speed. The goal is to be able to spam this skill as much as possible while moving around and avoiding attacks.
- Lightning Rod - Mainly used to whittle down bosses in tandem with Lightning Arrows. All support gems also focus on increasing this skill's damage to boosts overall DPS when used as a combo with Lightning Arrows.
- Voltaic Mark - Mainly used on bosses to increase the chances of shocking them and dealing more damage. Persistence is key as a support gem to prolong the mark on bosses.
- Herald of Thunder - Further enhances lightning damage with Electrocute and AoE clear.
- Wind Dancer - This skill's main support gem should be Blind as it further increases chances of evasion, prolonging the Tailwind buff from attacking enemies.
- Rhoa Mount - Always mount whenever the Rhoa is up as it negates movement speed slow while attacking with the bow. The support gems used for this boosts the mount's surivability to avoid getting knocked down.

Once Ascendancy has been achieved, focus on unlocking the Gathering Winds to instantly gain Tailwind from attacking. This is an important Ascendancy node as it gives this build a ton of attack and movement speed when built-up flawlessly.
Endless Munitions shoot an additional arrow while we take Far Shot over Point Blank as we aim to keep our distance from enemies while moving and shooting across the maps.
The core idea of this Lightning Deadeye build is to deal damage while you are always on the move. It is recommended to equip passive nodes that increase any speed, criticals, raw damage, elemental damage, and dexterity.
Falcon Dive and Feathered Fletching are two important nodes that uses accuracy rating and projectile speed respectively to scale this build's DPS even further since it will affect your attack speed and damage.
Master Fletching is only equipped if you have a high-level quiver with the perfect amount of modifiers. Adrenaline Rush is best equipped during mapping and endgame as a lot of map traversal will be done.
