Build Overview

Hey guys, this is the Endgame Explosive Shot build I'm playing in sc trade on a Deadeye. I started on huntress to play wolf but I hated it LO. Deadeye will have better speed and better clear, you can go crit but its a big speed sacrifice.

If you want the leveling guide here it is: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/imexile/builds/0-4-ranger-grenade-leveling

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • High single target
  • Solid clear
  • High MS
  • Cool Explosions
  • Crossbow reload
  • Lot of buttons
  • Mana management
  • Squishy

Build Variants

High end gear, this setup will be very expensive but focus on one upgrade at a time, crossbow and headhunter are the most important.

Try to get around 100% rarity if you can.

Crossbow: High phys/ phys / Lightning would be BIS, but its much easier to make an ele bow with say Lightning/Fire/Essence mod and that will be much better then a bad phys bow. Suffixes Perfect essence of Battle and Haste. Settle on 3rd mod.

Rings: Flat dmg/Flat dmg/Rarity for prefixes, suffixes res/attributes/rarity

Amulet: %Es/Spirit/Es Global defense Life or Evasion prefixes, suffixes +3 and res.

Helmet: High ES on a base you have enough int for. Rarity/res suffixes.

Boots: As high MS as you can get, Life/Rarity/Ev prefixes. Suffixes Res/rarity/deflect.

Body Armour: High EV prefixes, Suffixes I like one high tier deflect mod here and resist.

Gloves: Valako's Vice

Belt: Headhunter is always best for mapping, but not mandatory. Until you acquire this any rare belt will be fine.

Jewels: MS/proj/ele dam/lightning dam. Gain as lightning etc.

You cant get 10% ms and that much lightning damage on the jewels listed above, they bugged when I imported the pob.

Charms: Ngamahu's Chosen, thawing, stone. If ignites are annoying you can go Dousing Charm.

Resist on items arent perfectly optimized, just wanted to give an idea of what you want on the items.

Xbow craft:

Buy t1/t2 lightning damage magic xbow on trade

Greater essence of flames

Fill suffixes with dextral exaltation omen

Perfect essence of Electricity -- if you remove one of your prefixes here go back to step 1

Prefixes complete --> fill suffixes with exalts

Perfect essence of battle(+5)

Perfect essence of haste(gamble, 33% chance to lose but you can keep using these essences if you want both mods)
