Build Overview
THIS BUILD IS FROM BEFORE THE META WAS VERY DEVELOPED, YOU SHOULD INCORPORATE ENERGY SHIELD WITH GRIM FEAST INTO THE BUILD TO MAKE IT WAY TANKIER.
Build Rating: MORE ⭐ = BETTER
Single Target: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Map Clear: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Defense: ⭐⭐ (30% Damage reduction from tailwind + high % evasion with acrobatics, you should incorporate some energy shield ideally with grim feast)
How Easy to get the Gear: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
SSF VIABLE: ✔️
HC VIABLE: ❌(can probably modify it to survive a bit better but I don't think it's great)
Leveling as this wont be great, so you should follow this leveling guide from fubgun: Leveling Guide - I would say to swap when u have good reload speed jewels and decent crossbow (not sure the actual optimal level to swap, i respec'd quite late)
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.
MIGHT BE GOOD TO BE TESTED: combat frenzy + charge infusion for more skill speed OR reworking to a crit version with those auras and resonance keystone
I would probably look into going energy shield with grim feast if i were you
Venom Draught: ailment threshold / chaos res
Equipment
YOU WILL NEED A DECENT BOW IN UR OFFHAND FOR STORMCALLER ARROW, DOESNT HAVE TO BE INSANE JUST FIND ONE WITH LIKE 250 DPS OR SO. YOU DO NOT NEED EXACT REPLICAS OF THE GEAR SHOWN HERE, IT IS JUST EXAMPLES.
MOD PRIORITIES:
Crossbow: Phys Dmg + % Phys OR Lightning damage (ideally both, but not realistic) > Attack Speed
Bow: Same as Crossbow
Helmet: Res > Life > Evasion
Body Armor: Evasion > Res > Life
Gloves: Ideally kitoko's current, but rare with life / res is good too
Ring: Life > Res > Rarity
Amulet: Anoint Afterimage / Mental Perseverance - Life > Res > Levels > Rarity
Belt: Life > Res > Charm Slot
Jewels: Reload speed > Magnitude of Shock > Evasion / Damage / Attack Speed
RUNES:
Crossbow: Iron rune (if phys based)
Armors: Just fix any resistance problems you have / soul of azcapa for rarity
POSSIBLY NICE TECH: Radient Grief Helmet + Stormfire support gem in Stormcaller arrow for PERMA shock on bosses
Skill Gems
Support Gem Requirements:
Str 40
Dex 80
Int 20
Shockburst Rounds
Galvanic Shards
Voltaic Mark
Emergency Reload
Wind Dancer
Herald of Thunder
Stormcaller Arrow
Plasma Blast
Shield Charge
Support gems are in order of most important to least important
SWAP MARTIAL TEMPO TO GALVANIC SHARDS FOR MAPPING AND TO SHOCKBURST FOR BOSSING, SWAP WITH WHATEVER DAMAGE LINK YOU WANT IT DOESNT REALLY MATTER FOR MAPPING
If you feel like you want to swap a support gem for different utility based on your current setup, feel free, the supports are not necessarily locked in place and i often swap them, e.g swap martial tempo from shockburst into galvanic replacing blind and putting another dmg support in shockburst if you feel like you want more attack speed. No problems with shock? Swap out conduction in galvanic for more damage. You get the deal.
Optional: Plasma Blast for opening boss move in maps, swap supports with stormcaller arrow + use scattershot if used.
Shield swap offhand for mapping with shield charge
Bow swap offhand for bossing with stormcaller arrow
You can also swap attrition with some aura stuff for bossing
Link Shockburst first for single target
Link Galvanic first for clear
Note: Quality for Shockburst is currently bugged and doesnt do anything
Passive Tree
main:

set 1:

set 2:

DONT take acrobatics until you have ~70% evade WITH it allocated
Ascendancy Order: Gathering winds > Point Blank > Wind Ward > Eagle Eyes (can swap pointblank and wind ward if you want more defense)
UPDATE: +1 PROJ MAYBE IS GOOD FOR SHOCKBURST ACCORDING TO PALSTERON? About a 30% dps boost? but then you will swap off fresh clip for ele focus or another damage gem. Personally I did not do rigorous testing, so maybe take it
pro tip: setup weapon set passives for bossing with shock magnitude / mark effect on 2nd set for bow, this is way too complicated to explain but it will require a few points of swapping whenever you want to do bosses to swap the effect from set 1 to 2. basically just dont worry about weapon set points.
How it Plays
Voltaic Mark for more shock chance then Stormcaller Arrow as opening skill to bosses to apply shock then follow up into Shockburst Rounds for huge damage until the shock depletes. Use Stormcaller Arrow to reapply shock. If you are using a shield charge for mapping just use your galvanic bolts instead.
Additionally, use emergency reload to buff your shockburst rounds, ideally at 1 ammo left so you skip the reload animation.
Voltaic Mark for more shock effect
How it Works
FAQ:
-can i change x, why dont you do x? - there is about 84 different swap combos to optimize each scenario you might be in, im too lazy to write all of them down it would take years. dont have the second weapon set passives setup on tree because you need to swap multiple things every time you fight a boss. tree is setup for mix of bossing / mapping, if you're new it'll do fine. if you're not new then you should know what to swap on the tree
-how does shock work? - shock applies when you deal a certain amount of damage to an enemy, increasing shock chance lowers the damage requirement
-if ur not shocking - get more shock chance / dmg
-need strength/dex/int/attributes? - get it on gear and passive tree
-mana sustain - build doesnt really have mana problems, mana flask alone should be more than enough to sustain, otherwise get a little mana regen or mana on kill
-im shocking while fighting bosses but still have low damage - check your accuracy rating
-does attack speed affect reload speed? - yes
