Build Overview

For 0.5 Arjun's Medal took a nerf but the build will still work well, just requires reloading a bit more. I recommend the mod that allows for an additional bolt if you can get it on your crossbow.

Will try to update crafting methods for crossbows when I learn how the new league mechanic works etc, since it will be much harder to make a decent crossbow. Until then try to get IPD/flat lightning + abyss mod and +5 attack suffix from essence.

Tree updated soon!

Hey guys, this is the Endgame Explosive Shot build I played in sc trade on a Deadeye in 0.4. Deadeye will have better speed and better clear, you can go crit but its a big speed sacrifice.

This is my early maps tree, around level 75-80 you can respec to the bottom pathing. Should be pretty smooth focus on getting a good xbow first.
