Build Overview

This is my leveling setup, can be done on both Ranger or Huntress if you want an easy and SSF viable way to do campaign in 0.3 - Below is a link to my endgame setup that is also updated for 0.3

The transition requires very little gold, but be sure not to gamble away all of it so you can respec your tree to the new build.

At lvl 11 you should be looking for a Warden Bow with 2 sockets, this will be a decent dps upgrade. Use some currency to craft it, but make sure to keep most of your currency for yourDualstring Bow bow craft at lvl 28.

You still want to focus on flat damage throughout the whole campaign it's just not as important as it was in act 1. It's still extremely important to always use movement speed boots, even if they're low level.

Besides that you're just looking for life/resist on gear, but flat damage is the most important.

!!!!Important!!!!!
Always salvage weapons with quality for whetstones and always salvage items with sockets for artificers orb, this is extremely important for gear upgrades throughout the campaign.

For bosses you place Lightning Infusion into Lightning Rod and Chain into Lightning Arrow, if you pre-fire rods, you'll have massive single target damage.

Frost Bomb is used to lower boss resistances. Try to pre-place before a boss spawns and keep up the stacks as it adds a lot of dps.

for Lightning Rod you can either use Concentrated Area or Lightning Attunement, this just depends on your gear (if you have a bunch of fire damage/cold damage to attacks, than Lightning Attunement loses a lot of value).

Barrage can be used to quickly setup rods or burst down a boss on spawn (pre-place rods into barrage Lightning Arrow)

your 1st Ascendancy point should be Gathering Winds into > Projectile Proximity Specialisation

In general just use dexterity for your small attribute nodes. Use stregnth/int if you need it for gear or support gems.

How it Plays

Lightning Arrow and Freezing Salvo to clear packs. Depending on your damage, you'll want to use Lightning Rod once into a Barrage > Lightning Arrow for rares.

On bosses use Freezing Salvo on cooldown and place down multiple Lightning Rod(usually aim for 8-10 on bosses, can pre-fire them on most bosses).
After that you're spamming Lightning Arrow and using Barrage on cooldown.

How it Works

Quest rewards to take:

1) charm recharge - act 2
2) stun threshold from venom reward - act 3
3) tattoos - lightning resist/int/fire resist - act 4
4) boon - movement speed - interlude

Deadeye Ascendancy points:

In order: Gathering winds > Point blank > Endless munitions.
