for league starting scenarios i'd say deadeye is now QUEEN of toxic rain. by a mile. for starting/budget it cannot be beat. as long as you're using quill rain, deadeye with 3x mirage archers is the best map clear early league

i started my character to get a cheap map clearing ability/build because my main is more of a boss farmer. slapped on a quill rain and +2 corrupted tabula and that was it. didn't even start using a quiver until lvl 85. very easily able to speed clear all maps and interestingly, very defensive (even without uber lab still to this day). i've only died a couple times in maps thus far, all due to lockup while clearing valdo's rest harbingers.

im actually trying to dump some currency into my TR deadeye to see how far i can push the deadeye and quill rain into end game. as of right now its bad bossing but im trying to prioritize the best map clear setup i can think of. tons of other upgrades to make as well now that i've decided to spend more then 1 exalt on this character in total.


i've played a ton of variations of toxic rain since its release and this is by far the best starter mapping build in terms of initial cost and clear speed.

I've decided to try copying your character since no other build really caught my eye. I'm a simply man, mention Mirage Archer and Quill Rain and I'm in :)

Didn't Avatar of the Hunt interest you? I noticed it wasn't picked and seemed to fit the build.

avatar of the hunt is good but pretty meh for the power per passive ratio. i definitely prioritize other things

dunno if copying my character is a good idea but you're free to try. i do things my own particular way because i have very good knowledge of these types of characters and the game, so some things i do, some gear mods etc may not pop out as important at first glance and whatnot.

in any case i don't really recommend getting any cluster jewels, at least not for a while. instead of clusters i'd path down to golems blood, picking up heavy draw and deadly draw manually (instead of anointing heavy draw) and stuff. maybe then with the saved points you can pick up avatar of the hunt if it suites your fancy

im going to keep trying to optimize this character fully, i think. definitely going quill rain all the way. but ya, bossing still does not feel good. regular map bosses are a breeze but maven invitations, conqueror guardians and sirus are basically a no shot. tried a few times

if you have any questions for me personally feel free to pm me or whisper in game or somethin

You decided to self-cast TR instead of go with the build setup?

If so, do you think doing with the builds setup of TR ballista w/ CA would be better for bossing?

Does this build still work with the changes to Nature's Reprisal?
