[3.13] LIGHTNING ARROW/BARRAGE Deadeye Build / Zap your way forward! UBER ELDER DONE!

Lightning Arrow was always a popular choice for levelling, but rarely was it used in the end-game. I kind of fell in love with LA during my Kinetic Blast levelling process (went from level 1 to 85 on LA) and decided i am gonna min-max it and push through Uber Elder and all content to see where "borders" are. It has same speed as Tornado Shot, can be MF just as Tornado Shot, and at the same time can kill Uber Elder not-as-any-Tornado-Shot while being cheaper as noone gives a damn about lightning jewels.
Unfortunately the build suffered a DPS "hit" after the nerf to crafting mods as well as buffs to all bosses and rare monsters so it's not as great as it was before, but can still be a great map farmer if you are willing to invest into one of the best ZOOMING builds out there.

VIDEO BUILD/GUIDE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhPZXq6mzgQ
V 1.5 UPDATE (15/01/2021)
-POB updated for 3.13
-A lot of changes thanx to nerfs. Damage on LA actually got better. On Barrage almost the same thanx to +2 proj.
-Changed Ascendancy points, since pierce and bleed are gone.
Taking Tailwind and Chain with +2 proj and new Mark ascendancy.
-Removed Herald of Ice and Precision
-added Skitterbots and Sniper's Mark. You will have to remove ASS mark ring for bosses to apply Sniper's Mark manually for full damage
V 1.4 UPDATE (01/07/2020)
-POB updated for 3.11
V 1.3 UPDATE (12/03/2020)
-POB updated for 3.10
-added Windripper as default bow in POB since old crafted bow has too much legacy mods now. You can still browse a long list of rare bows there.
V 1.2 UPDATE (12/12/2019)
-POB updated for 3.9 (added Pantheons so make sure you use FORK for POB)
For all people who are having problems killing bosses:

In patch 3.9 life of all bosses have been QUADRUPLED, their resistance have been raised by literally 25-30%% and they all have insane amounts of ARMOUR on top of that. Not to mention greatly enhanced boss mechanics as a whole, when they spawn a tonn of adds and cast multiple attacks per second.
FORGET ALL YOU'VE KNOWN BEFORE. Bosses are ENTIRELY DIFFERENT world now. They simply take a lot of time to kill now no matter the build. Any build will take WAY, WAY MORE time to kill any boss now.

V 1.1 Update (11/09/2019):
-3.8 PoB link updated. Levelling trees converted
-Extended Levelling sections with 4L and 5L as well as tips for starting players.

======================================================================================
How does it work, in general?
Lightning Arrow is a phys-to-lightning based projectile AOE bow attack. Barrage is a shotgunning strong single target bow attack. We will be using Lightning Arrow to clear most content and Barrage for nasty rares and bosses.
======================================================================================
1) PROS
Spoiler

+From level 12 to Uber Elder with just 2 skills. Incredible League Starter that will not fail!
+great clear speed
+Plenty of bossing DPS. Barrage 6-7 Million. LA = 1-2 Million.
+cheaper than Physical and Cold builds. Cheaper than Tornado Shot (helm enchant says HELLO)
+can switch to MF in a blink of an eye

======================================================================================
2) CONS
Spoiler

-Expensive to min-max (my investment was around 50 EX)
-squishy, super hard to reach 6k life. Mostly dodge and Warlord's Mark to survive. But does fine in end-game.
======================================================================================

3) Skill Tree Progression / Path of Building / Ascendancy / Bandits
Spoiler
Path of building:
Basic Tree https://pastebin.com/zZxDZW46
IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHILE IMPORTING OR ANY OTHE ERRORS, IT MEANS YOUR POB IS OUTDATED ORIGINAL VERSION THAT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. YOU NEED A "COMMUNITY FORK" ONE TO MAKE IT WORK:
https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding
For Ascendancy: Gathering Winds, Ricochet, Endless Munitions, Focal Point
Bandits: Kill All

======================================================================================
4) Early Levelling Gear / Skills
Spoiler

As a lot of people are having general problems progressing, you need to understand a few basic things about GEARING while levelling:
1) Always upgrade your gear as you go. Don't be surprised if your 3L LA does no damage as well as your 2L Barrage which you are carrying since Act 1. ALWAYS upgrade your links and gear. ALWAYS buy a cheap blue/white 5L for 1 Alch and put LA and BARRAGE in bow/chest. Don't expect to run on a 4L till Act 10. Follow gearing progression guide.
2) If you are a new player and can't dodge shit as more experienced players, make sure your life pool remains solid as well as try to balance resists otherwise you will constantly die from everything. Once you reach maps start buying resist rings/belt/amulet/30% movespeed boots/helm. etc. Your resists must be over 75+ and life over 4K to start mapping smoothly.
3) Once you get enough currency buy the chest and make a 5L.

===============
Get a 6L Silverbranch if possible. You can later upgrade it to Silverbough at level 36.
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Silverbranch
Lioneye's Glare 6L is also 1 ex, so this will be your end-game bow for a while. Then buy a Windripper





Hyrri's Bite can be also upgrdaded to Demise at level 45:
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Hyrri%27s_Demise
Take Ice Shot and use it in this combo:
Ice Shot - Pierce - Volley support
Puncture and Burning Arrow are also great for single target
Switch to Lightning Arrow at level 12. Take Precision
Assuming Tabula: 6L Lightning Arrow - Added Cold - Added Lightning - Pierce - Mirage Archer - Ele.damage with attacks.
4L Lightning Arrow - Added Lightning/Pierce - Mirage Archer - Ele.damage with attacks.
5L Lightning Arrow - Added Lightning - Pierce - Mirage Archer - Ele.damage with attacks.
Add Herald of Ice and Thunder when available.
Add Barrage when it's available (lvl.12):
6L Barrage - Added Cold - Ele damage with attacks - Vicious projectiles - Elemental focus (need to get it from another character or buy) - Volley (you will later drop both Volley and Added Cold for stronger gems as you go, like Energy Leech)
5L Barrage - Added Cold - Ele damage with attacks - Elemental focus (need to get it from another character or buy) - Volley
4L Barrage - Ele damage with attacks - Elemental focus (need to get it from another character or buy) - Volley
At level 31 get Cold Penetration (and start levelling it in a weapon swap) and switch Volley to Slower.Projectiles (assuming you are still on a 5L).
If you get a 6L Chest you be switching Added Cold to Cold Penetration for bosses.

======================================================================================
5) My Actual Gear / End-Game Skills
Spoiler



I also tried Voidfletcher but TBH could not find the advantage of shit, void shots are not that crazy and Demise gives important INT.
Overall i use Hyrri's Demise for everything, but for lower content and MF definitely Rigwald's Quills can be used.
I recommend 2 jewels with Blind/Onslaught. I also use one jewel with Phasing.
Other jewels are mostly lighting damage to attacks/bow/penetration/life/resists/dodge/int. You will need 159 INT for lvl.21 Wrath.
Make sure you have Murderous Eye in Tombfists and one Hypnotic Eye somewhere to fully utilize the power of Bubonic Trail.
Place Lioneye's Fall under CLAW wheel.

For Uber Lab enchant: Lightning Arrow Deals 40% Incrased Damage (mapping) / Barrage Fires an Additional Projectile (Shaper/Uber Elder/Bosses)
LA 5L (Bow) Mapping: Lightning Arrow-Ele.Damage.with.Attacks-Hypothermia-Energy.Leech-Greater.Multiple.Projectiles
LA 6L (Bow) Mapping: Lightning Arrow-Ele.Damage.with.Attacks-Hypothermia-Inc.Critical.Damage-Energy.Leech-Greater.Multiple.Projectiles
Barrage 5L (Shroud) Bossing: Barrage-Ele.Damage.with.Attacks-Elemental.Focus-Slower.Projectiles-Energy.Leech
For the gear i would prioritize:
1) Tabula Rasa and any levelling gear
2) lvl.5: Karui Ward
3) lvl.10: Hyrri's Bite
4) lvl.20: Berek's Pass (insane damage early on!)
7) lvl.25: Prismweave
8) lvl.32: Sacrificial Heart
9) lvl.36: Silverbough / Doomfletch (28)
10) lvl.44: Death's Opus
11) lvl.66: Lioneye's Glare / Windripper

======================================================================================
6) Flasks
Spoiler


You can also use Diamond Flask instead of Wise Oak, as well as Cinderswallow urn(Hyrri's Demise gives you fire source of damage). As well as Vessel of Vinktar, although i don't like to be shocked! :)

======================================================================================
7) Pantheon Gods
Spoiler

Major: Arakaali
Minor: Ryslatha

======================================================================================
8) Hardcore Viable or not?
Spoiler

Not recommended

======================================================================================
9) FOR THE RICH GUYS
Spoiler

A lot of things here. Triple Wrath jewels, Precision / 2x Wrath, +2 Shroud, Corrupted Gear, Prismatic Fossils crafted GG bow, GG Assasin's Mark / Warlord's Mark Opal rings. Plenty of Stretch goals.

FAQ
1) I die all the time!
Spoiler
Level up, stack life jewels, use Warlord's Mark. I would consider this build a squishy one, but not SO SQUISHY. I delved just fine ibto 300+ and farmed endless T16 maps without dying

2) What is the best BASE for crafting?
Spoiler

Thicker or Imperial

3) What are the best mods on a Shaper bow?
Spoiler

I will just give you the rundown of the BEST MODS without prefix/suffix attachment.
120% elemental damage
20% more attack damage (cold stacking is about 10% less damage as we are lightning build)
20% Double Damage
Elemental Penetration
Attack Speed
~80% Lightning Damage / Chance to Shock
10% Double Damage
~27% Crit Chance
Attack Speed While Unique / Rare is nearby is INCREDIBLY strong, but i decided to craft 10% double damage instead as it work with everything.

4) How i can craft the most insane BOW?
Spoiler

1) Get a Shaper Bow (Thicker or Imperial Base)
2) Throw Prismatic fossils for 120% increased Elemental Damage till you run out of currency lol
3) Multimod the rest

5) Why do you take CLAW nodes?
Spoiler

For Lioneye's Fall jewel. It converts everything into Bows

6) How do you leech mana?
Spoiler

With the mana leech claw nodes

Can be done. Windripper can be farmed, quiver is not hard to get.
Amulet is pretty impossible, gloves are impossible too i guess, but these are mostly top tier upgrades anyway

Can you guide me on this "pastebin" thing? I can't see anything understandable, and I know there is some trick to how it works. I just can't see it.
The built is nice, I want to try it (once I understand the pastebin) as I already have 6L Lioneye and some others worth trying.
