Build Overview

Deadeye is one of the fastest and most powerful ascendancies in 0.3, and ice abilities had not only a huge buff, but some new abilities, making it both incredibly powerful and fun this league.
By combining Ice Shot with Ice-Tipped Arrows we have insane amounts of damage. With the new interactions on support gems such as Nova Projectiles we can clear the entire screen on mobs with one arrow.

Then for single target we can shatter frozen enemies with Snipe for discussing amounts of damage.

Focus on items that give you more damage as a priority:
Bow, quiver, gloves, rings, and look for the following:

Added cold damage
Added physical damage
levels to projectile skills
critical chance and critical damage bonus

On all other areas try to get a blend of dex + int gear to mix evasion and energy shield:

Evasion and energy shield
Max 75% all resistances (head, chest, rings, belt)

prismatic rings are good with a built in % to all resistances.

Ice Shot

Freezing Salvo

Ice-Tipped Arrows

Herald of Ice

Snipe

Barrage

Combat Frenzy

Wind Dancer

Tornado Shot

With the way the new support gems work, they come in tiers, such as:
Rapid Attacks I
Rapid Attacks II
Rapid Attacks III
I'd suggest upgrading these as soon as possible to the rank 2 as they give massive upgrades to your damage, but be careful as the final version rank 3, can sometimes come with downsides, so should be avoided.

Spirit Gem Priority:

Combat Frenzy helps us generate frenzy charges for Barrage
Wind Dancer gives us a ton more evasion and survivability

If you want too get spirit on your gear you can fit more and could try either of the following:

Ghost Dance for energy shield regen

Rhoa Mount this works surprisingly well for this build. We can cast everything but Snipe and we only really use that on bosses anyway. So its great for general map clearing. Then it also acts a tank/distraction in bigger fights on the ground.

Gem upgrade Priority:

Our main 2 damage dealers are Ice Shot and Snipe so get those upgraded as soon as possible. Then work on Herald of Ice

How it Plays

This is a deadeye Ice Shot endgame build that focuses on freezing enemies and shattering them for massive damage.

General clear gameplay (maps etc):

Drop Tornado Shot to set up for damage, throw out Freezing Salvo to freeze and damage everything. Then just use Ice Shot to clean up and finish off all other mobs.

Single Target bossing:

Drop Tornado Shot to set up and then freezing salvo to build freeze. Use Ice Shot until boss is frozen. Once frozen use Snipe for massive damage.

In both scenarios we can weave in Ice-Tipped Arrows and Barrage before we use Ice Shot for significantly more damage. We don't also need the extra damage, so it isn't worth the mana. but on harder (juiced) maps or bosses, its worth doing.
