Build Overview

This is guide for my League Starter Build - Unarmed Hollow Palm Deadeye for 0.3

==========================================================

This guide will help you to pick the gear and gems and will help you out while progressing.

For more info on why DEADEYE and what to keep in mind check the video -------------->

==========================================================

For this guide we are going to League Start with a Bow

After Reaching lvl 22 we can swap to the Storm Wave for comfortable Non Melee Clear and later on to the Tempest Flurry to move with great speed.

Staggering Palm should be used to get the projectile buff which we will use for screen wide clear.

While Wind Dancer (Or Quarterstaff Strike) can give us Charges to finish off enemies with Falling Thunder

==========================================================

Lightning Rod

Stormcaller Arrow

Lightning Arrow

Herald of Thunder

Freezing Salvo

IMPORTANT - We can Now use same Support Gems in all the skills.

Spending Orbs to add sockets to the Lightning Rod and Stormcaller Arrow is NOT recommended.

Act 1 and VERY early game:

Take Lightning Arrow as your first gem and Lightning Rod from the first chest and use them together for basic progression.

Lightning Rod should be used for single target and you can trigger it with Lightning Arrow with no delay. So shoot

Get Stormcaller Arrow as fast as it is available around lvl 5-6 and use it to clear packs while you are running around.

Early Game Supports:

Scattershot is your first pick for Lightning Rod + Chain for Lightning Arrow to improve single target DMG.

After that you can get a second Scattershot to use with Stormcaller Arrow and add Martial Tempo for QoL or Lightning Infusion if you need more damage to clear packs.

Clearing Packs:

To clear the packs while running through we will use Stormcaller Arrow. That skill sticks an arrow to the enemy or piece of terrain and that arrow is hit with lightning after a little duration.

It has a good AoE, nice damage and a very decent chance to shock which will activate Innervate from Herald of Thunder

Now you can also add Scattershot to the Stormcaller Arrow setup to improve it even further.

Single target for Bosses and Rares:

Lightning Rod is our main single target damaging skill.

Since there is a delay to trigger Rods for other skills we should use Lightning Arrow with Chain + Martial Tempo for that .

Mechanic Itself is very simple, just use a Lightning Rod a few times and after that spam Lightning Arrow until boss is down or Lightning Rod disappeared. Rinse and Repeat!
