Deadeye Chin Sol Bleed Build

Why did I make this build? Well nobody seems to rate the Deadeye Ascendancy Notables Rupture & Powerful Precision so I wanted to create a build using them both. A bow build was the obvious choice & this is what I came up with. It kinda just developed organically with liberal use of this forum & the PoE Wiki. By default this build is created on a tight budget. The Chin Sol Assassin Bow was bought for only one Chaos. This is the result. If it seems unfinished that's cos it is!
I decided to use Barrage as it works as a good AoE attack (with one or two Volley Fire gems) & a single target attack. We don't need to use Greater Multiple Projectiles or Chain which would seriously hurt this build.

The Chin Sol Assassin Bow is our weapon of choice. It's 100% more bow damage at close range feature functions well with Powerful Precision. It's Knockback at close range buffs the bleed debuff we cause by a large margin. Also I like the 2D Art (please GGG make it 3D too).


As we will be up close & personal dealing with the blood hungry inhabitants of Wraeclast good damage mitigation is required. So we'll be decked out in either of these body armours. Which are both very cheap.
Daresso's Defiance is my choice. Free Endurance Charges that boost our armour to acceptable levels & when, not if, we get hit we gain a free damage boost from Onslaught. Pity the Dodge is, erm, dodgy.
Belly of the Beast is the best for boosting our life. The extra resists are nice but the extra gore isn't.

Of course you can also use rare armour. Either hybrid, Evasion/Armour, like the two above or pure Armour with resistances & life.

We supplement our armour with Grace.

This Aura helps to avoid hits by giving us a huge amount of evasion. To further increase our defensive layering Molten Shell, Immortal Call & optionally Arctic Armour. Both Molten Shell & Immortal Call are linked to Increased Duration & Cast When Damage Taken. (I prefer to have Molten Shell level with me to proc from really powerful attacks, while Immortal Call is kept at a low level).

Now we have our basic defensive setup sorted we come to the fun part. Killing the dirty denizens of Wraeclast.
We want to make our foes bleed hard & fast. To best way is with double dipping. To do this we need lots of generic projectile & physical damage. While our skill tree provide these two modifiers our gems, which scale as we level, focus on projectile damage boosting our DoT more than our initial damage. I'm currently running a four link with these gems.

I really like Barrage but it needs at least one Volley Fire unique jewel to provide any Area of Effect. Which means you don't need Greater Multiple Projectiles which means more damage (GMP has a less projectile damage modifier that would reduce our bleed). Also Barrage fires so many arrows in such density it procs things like Critical Attacks quite easily. Hence it's popularity with CoC (Cast on Crit) characters. But for us our 25% to cause bleeding on hit is activated regularly.
Slower Projectiles is just a straight up damage multiplier. Point Blank stacks with the 100% more bow damage at close range modifier our Chin Sol gives us, it also saves a skill point as does Iron Grip. With 200 strength we would get 40% increased projectile attack damage from Iron Grip which seems worth it, it will improve our initial hit.

If you find you want to do more damage with this build you can. It's called Vulnerability. You can link it to Blasphemy which will will curse any mob close to us & as we are usually near them this set up works fine. That is if you don't want to use Arctic Armour. Obviously we can cast our curse manually but auto cursing is better. Right? Anyway self casting is an option if you want to run Arctic Armour, especially on dangerously rolled maps.




To further increase our DoT damage potential we get the very nice Dirty Techniques notable which increases our DoT, Skill Duration & adds 25% Chance on Hit to poison bleeding enemies. Cool! That's just nasty. Dunno if the poison will double dip after our Bleed but if it does, well lets say I'd feel sorry for whomever we do it to. Unless it's Malachi. He deserves it!

This build looks totes interesting! Please keep updating, I'll be keeping an eye out for sure

I really like your idea and would like to hear more about it, as soon as you reach end game.

But I'm really surprised about your gem choice..
I don't get it why youre using such bad support gems.

Youre using atm the following: Barrage - Pierce - Iron Grip - Point Blank - Faster Projectiles

Iron Grip is especially with your low strength a really bad choice. Also you could get the Keystone "Iron Grip" with 2 skill points.
You can also get the Point Blank Keystone for 1 skillpoint.. so why you arent taking it?
Faster Projectiles only increases your damage by pretty a few %.. it's also like 2 skillpoints worth, since it only offers 30% increased damage.

So basically you waste 3 links.

Use better something like this:

Barrage - Pierce - Slower Projectiles - Faster Attacks - Added Chaos Damage or Physical Attack Damage if you dont use poison

All of these support gems double dip with poison, 3 of them with bleeding.
