[2.5] Burning Arrow Proliferation Raider. Fully working league starter build. Up to twin Tier 15.

Hi ! Do you think this build could work as a Deadeye ?
Looking like a nice build. Just started to make a char using pretty much this build on BHC.

I originally tried to make a similar build but using elemental overload and getting 10% more ignite from that side of the skill tree.
On paper it looked much better because the ignite dps was way higher. But I tried it on standard and the elemental overload uptime just felt way too bad. It would had been fine if you just stand and attack, then it stays up pretty well... But in actually game play you spend a lot of the time moving so it didnt work out so well :P.

So I ended up deciding that your way to build is better and will do it myself as well.

@Shimaran: I think it's better as raider. I originally thought about making it with deadeye but only thing you get from is really Far Shot. Endless munitions is ok but nothing special. Ricochet is useless with drillneck + pierce. Rupture and Powerful precision are only useful for a crit build which this isnt. For deadeye I think you'd have to make this into a crit build and I like it more as non-crit.
While with raider you get more defences and "free" frenzy generation.

Oh right ! To be honest I'm currently trying an Inquisitor with Xoph's Nurture but the damage output is just not consistent, especially against bosses :/

So I was wondering if there was a better way to build around this unique. I don't have the other uniques mentioned in this build though.
Hi, I'm glad you guys liked the build.

I've considered Both Deadeye and Inquisitor before, however burn doesn't have synergy with crit, but with generic elemental damage scaling, so I think with Surgebinder and Avatar of the Veil alone I get over 100 Ele damage increased, plus Drillneck proj dmg for another 100% which is better compare to the other 2 classes. So far up to t15, if I switch into single target mode the only problematic boss is Rigwald with his immune wolf form, other than that other bosses can tick down to the next phase pretty easily. I have a setup with Vaal Burning Arrow + GMP + culling strike + item rarity, just for giggle against bosses as well.

I'm unlucky enough to not get any guardian map drop to try this on guardian, however that's only time before I can do it.

Can multiple Vaal Burning Arrow projectiles overlap and shotgun single targets ? Because I'm currently with a single projectile setup and it's terrible against bosses...
Yes with a setup like Vaal Burning Arrow + GMP + conc effect + Slow Proj + fire Pen you can have some very nasty single target dps.

Even if concentrated effect doens't affect the tooltip dps ?
Yes conc effect only affects the explosion, not the actual hit of the arrow, that's why it's not shown on the tooltip.

Okay, so it's like the explosion on Fireball then. It's considered as a secondary effect.

Anyway, I'm currently trying this build now. It's going nice so far (lvl 70 and farming Dried lake), although I'm a little weak on the life part (3.7k), but I've yet to take the Scion life wheel nodes, so I guess I can reach at least 5.5k life.
Personally I am accustomed to switching slow proj and GMP on my 6l Burning arrow for single target. For now because I'm using a 5l Belly, I set up Vaal BA with Cull and Item rarity, GMP to hit the target easier. Basically anticipate when the burn tick the boss down to cull range and boom, more loot.
