The Lightning Arrow Deadeye remains one of the most dominant bow builds in Path of Exile, praised for its unparalleled clear speed, fluid gameplay, and explosive visuals. This optimized endgame version focuses on overwhelming enemies with extreme projectile scaling, critical strike synergy, and rapid attacks. While it demands significant investment, the result is a character capable of shredding maps, bosses, and endgame encounters with ease. Many dedicated players choose to accelerate gearing through strategic farming or trading, often leveraging resources like PoE 2 Currency to reach peak performance faster.

 

Deadeye Ascendancy Path 
 
    Gathering Winds: Grants permanent Tailwind for a substantial boost to action and movement speed, scaling further with Gale Force stacks for unmatched responsiveness. 
    Far Shot: Increases projectile damage the farther they travel, perfectly complementing Lightning Arrow's wide coverage and rewarding long-range engagement. 
    Endless Munitions: Provides +2 additional projectiles, a direct multiplier to both clear speed and single-target damage. 
    Focal Point: Doubles the effect of Marks on enemies, dramatically increasing boss damage when paired with Sniper's Mark. 
 

Passive Skill Tree and Jewel Strategy 
The passive tree emphasizes bow and projectile damage, critical strike scaling, and life, while securing key jewel sockets. Path through the Ranger's right side to grab Heartseeker, King of the Hill, and Aspect of the Eagle. Extend into the Duelist for life and into the Shadow for crit and projectile speed. A Lethal Pride jewel in the Duelist socket can roll powerful bonuses like +5% chance to deal Double Damage.

 

Cluster Jewel Setup 
 
    Large Cluster Jewels (Bow Damage): Two 8-passive clusters with notables like Feed the Fury, Fuel the Fight, and Arcing Shot. 
    Medium Cluster Jewels (Projectile Damage): Socket into large clusters with Eye to Eye for close-range multipliers and Repeater for attack speed. 
    That Which Was Taken: Seek powerful Charms such as +1 Arrow, Phasing on Kill, Culling Strike, or Onslaught on Kill for massive gains.
