Both seem to have very similar dps. I think I will go with Deadeye this league just to try it.

I am very interested to see what you come up with.
Looking at your PoB, your setup is already very expensive and heavily modified for offensive stats.

Necro achieves the same damage with far less investment however Deadeye will *feel* better due to the amazingly short cooldown.

Having a really hard time to decide...

What do you think of Phantasms on kill with this build? Would it work with weapon swap?

I think it has potential for the necro version of the build. However, weapon ele damage will be a wasted link. You can perhaps use the new beastcrafting recipe to get 3 guaranteed white sockets on a weapon, so you can swap between the red gem and Phantasm gem.

Don't think it will work with weapon swap.

If both ascendancies have similar dps then how do you feel which will be better for smooth clearing and better leveling path as for the league starter?

Levelling - necro (level with spells / srs)

Mapping - deadeye (movespeed and low CDs)

Single target - peak DPS is achieved at 5.7 seconds for deadeye, whereas necro needs 7.8 seconds to reach full power. This is kind of important vs phased bosses like Shaper, and also means necro has slightly slower destruction of map bosses/rares encountered while mapping. Necro has 1/2 effect of bone offering for defenses, but imo this is not much tankier than Acrobatics from Deadeye. Finally, Deadeye has faster attack speed , and movement speed, meaning much easier ability to dodge boss mechanics. I'd give Deadeye a very slight edge here.

why would wed be a wasted link?
wouldnt ele focus be better to take out?

Also with on kill do you think necro or deadeye would be better? tailwind with phantasms seem broke. especially with this speed minion buff they added in patch notes

Whatabout the Gloomfang amulet? would it add the extra chain and the dps to it?

or chin ol + pt blank?

though I think Necro is still far better, I will also like to try out deadeye ver, more clones = more fun :D

mana cost is an issue, 100% cooldown recovery speed basically means mana cost is doubled. I am think of using covenant to solve it.

A possible solution to ES would be to get a fistful of abyss jewels with 12es/s regen on each of them. Both ascendancies pass by a crapload of jewels so getting that up to reasonable levels won't be difficult, and it's on ghastly eyes (minion jewels) to boot.

Phantasms use physical spells. WED won't work with them, but ele focus will (thanks to Anger aura).

I think necro's minion damage is worth more than the 10% buff from Tailwind.

Gloomfang won't work. Point Blank keystone won't work, but Point Blank support gem will work. Chin Sol will work. The above combo works best with trap versions of the build, but you need to have a high accuracy quiver to pull it off.

Doh. I completely forgot about mana. Covenant is a great chest, but I think Deadeye really needs victario's Influence to be strong.

Two things I can think of:
1. Barrage - gmp with Thief's Torment. Synergises with Deadeye's new bleed + lgoh ascendancy node.
2. As smoorfi mentioned, abyss jewels with 12 ES/s regen. Or use kikazaru ring. I might use Eldritch Battery/ZO without Mind over matter, and keep acro/phase acro instead.. Use Enduring Cry to regen my ES as well.

Here's a sample PoB for Deadeye with EB/ZO, but no MoM. Note that Tailwind is still not applying to minions in PoB yet.

Oh another thing, Fenumus' Shroud
adds a lot of flat ES regen as well, and once you do a bit of rejiggering (including taking an aura-related helm enchant) you can have the MP room to add an aspect to the mix, assuming they reserve as much as a herald. That's flat ES regen, ES on chest, and up to a 30% more multi.

E: I can't decide between naming my character MeMyselfMysefMyselfAndI or PeopleTotems. Hardest part of the making the build right here.

Really strong chest, good defenses from spiderwebs. However, I estimate that Victario's influence would still come out ahead in dps. both are good options
