Build Overview

Arjun's Medal took a hit but the build will still work in 0.5, just requires reloading more.

Hey guys, this is my Galvanic Shards/ Shockburst Rounds deadeye that I played in SC trade, I prefer Galvanic Shards clear over playing LA/LR so I swapped over to crossbow. Single target is definitely lower than the other build but I prefer this clearspeed more.

I would recommend leveling with LA/LR into a Ice shot/snipe setup as bows or using my grenade leveling. https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/ice-shot-snipe-ranger-leveling from GuyThatDies will work well.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • High speed
  • Cheaper weapon than bows
  • Great clear w/ galvanic
  • Avg defense until good gear
  • Expensive non weapons items

Build Variants

This was my day 3 setup less than 10d budget clearing t15 +2 maps fine. probably 500k-1mil single target dps

Crossbow most important item: BIG phys dmg + flat lightning. For the suffixes get 6 mods and use Perfect essence of Battle and Perfect essence of haste to get both essence mods.

Gloves: HIgh flat damage + resist + evasion/es/recharge.

Boots: As high movement speed as possible, can look to make essence mod boots if rich. ES/Life/evasion + resists and dex or int.

Jewelry: HIgh flat damage + Resists + dex/int.

Amulet: +3 Proj and spirit are best so you can run a Cannibalism II. Other stats are resists + %ES

Body armour: High EV/ES + resists and attribute on a falconers for movement speed.

Helmet: HIGH Energy shield to make use of Subterfuge Mask and resist/attribute.

Belt: Headhunter eventually but until then just life + Resists and attribute, early survivability can be Shavronne's Satchel.

Attributes are insanely annoying to get on this build so you do need several suffixes with int/str/dex so you can get enough for both the offhand weapon/ES gear and gems.

**NEED OFFHAND BIG PHYS BOW/QUIVER FOR Stormcaller Arrow SHOCKS**
