Build Overview
This is the act 1-3 guide for Deadeye Grenadier. This build is designed to move faster than your average build and be able to blast monsters with AOE abilities and kill bosses while maintaining defenses. For the first 3 acts we are going to prioritize damage and speed then moving onto some defensive nodes before we go into Cruel. So why Deadeye and not Merc. Well deadeye has insane synergies with Crossbow. Rapid shot and armor piercing rounds have insane attack speed letting you stack Tailwind stacks incredibly fast. After Tailwind is Wind Ward which reduces damage by 3% per stack, you lose them when you get hit. Ramping stacks fast up again will ensure you survive while giving you speed , defense and attack speed. Point blank and additional projectile is also insane for damage on the ascendency. Overall deadeye has closer travel to more movement speed nodes which are essential to fast paced gameplay. @ Update to build
Equipment
The main focus of your gear is always going to be your weapon. As soon as you get some gold you want to check the vendors for a Crossbow with any sort of added damage (added fire, cold, lightning). Increased physical damage and added flat physical damage are all good stats . You need to actively look for Crossbow bases as you level up either through killing monsters, in the vendor or the gambling system. Make sure you look at the base damage of the Crossbow to make sure you don't craft or buy a lower tier one. Always be looting any items with sockets so you can disenchant them for the socket currency to use on your crossbow to socket flat damage runes. The rest of your gear is just resist and life wherever you can get it and focus on getting movement speed on your boots.

Freeze the targets with permafrost rounds and consume the freeze with Fragmentation rounds to do big damage. Once you get Flash Grenade and put in Scattershot and overpower to use to stun mobs easy. When you stun bosses with your flash grenades drop your flame wall and spam gas grenade.

Straight forward tree. Take Cluster Bombs after you take Volatile Grenades. After this tree you can go towards Afterimage and Battled-Hardened. Ascendency wise we are taking tailwind and windward first and then point blank and additional projectile.
How it Plays
You are going to start off with Fragmentation rounds and permafrost rounds and its going to a little hard to get use to. Freeze the targets with permafrost rounds and consume the freeze with Fragmentation rounds to do big damage.
When you get gas grenade your rotation on bosses will be. Charge rapid fire do gas grenade x2 Flame wall. Then stun the boss with flash grenades. Flame wall, gas grenade x 5. Then run around like a monkey and then repeat.
How it Works
Explosive triggers gas explosions. Monsters go BOOM.
