Plasma Blaster Shockburst Deadeye

UPDATE: i dont think crit is very good

Clear speed: Fast with Deadeye Tailwind and Galvanic Shards

Damage: BIG single target with Plasma Burst and Shockburst Rounds.

Survivability: Decent, 65%+ evasion with acrobatics (this means you can evade ALL hits, normally you cannot evade AoE hits, and there are a ton of AoE hits in the game), 30% additional dmg reduction, 150% increased evasion rating, from tailwind when max stacks, and they stack fast. Still die occasionally when you dont evade, but is pretty solid

Leveling as this wont be great, so you should follow this leveling guide from ruetoo: Leveling Guide - I would say to swap around level 52 when you unlock Plasma Blast and have support gems setup.

Why Deadeye? - I think Deadeye is just the most well rounded choice. Good starting area on the tree, great ascendancy nodes for damage, speed, and defence. Tailwind also gives increased reload speed which is huge. Compared to Witchhunter, Deadeye is far superior. Gemling is probably best in the late late game once you are throwing hundreds of exalts at your character.

Ascendancy Order: Honestly the ascendancy order is pretty flexible, you just take what you need they are all VERY GOOD. Need damage? Go Point Blank and Endless Munitions. Want speed and damage? Go Tailwind and Point Blank. Defence go Wind Ward, there is really no wrong choice here with how good they are, just take what you need.

Galvanic Arrow for clear

Plasma Blast as opening skill to bosses to apply shock then follow up with Shockburst Rounds for huge damage until the shock depletes. Use Plasma Blast again if you are able to so you can get another shock (probably not able to), so use Galvanic shards in the meantime to apply another shock.

Additionally, use emergency reload to buff your shockburst rounds.

Voltaic Mark for more shock if needed

Voltaic Grenade for exposure / blind for more dmg and defence
