Intro
Spoiler

Hey everyone!

Spectral Helix is one of the best leveling skills because of how good Nightblade support is. We use claws in order to use Nightblade support, and claws also give us good life/mana on hit to help with survivability. Spectral Helix is a great skill to use, but this build can also be used as a transition build to others. This build opens up to swap to builds like Lightning Strike Raider, Omniscience Tornado Shot, and many others in the ranger class. Spectral Helix is excellent at a low budget, and that is what this guide aims to do.

Deadeye vs. Raider
Deadeye is stronger for SH, since it gets tailwind as well as Far Shot. Raider is definitely viable but lacks the ability to get tailwind early game whereas Deadeye can get things like spell suppression, phasing, and onslaught easily.

Hope you enjoy!

yep
What do you evolve to afterwards?

Thanks for posting here! I came across your build earlier this week, planning on league starting it!

Do you have any loot filters I can steal?


Looking to get this going in SSF. If anyone has any crafting tips for some of the gear here, let me know.
Planning to hit the essence nodes on atlas tree, and chuck a bunch at claws, etc.

Good luck on your league starts everyone!

I will update it with 3.19 sometime Friday morning. As for crafting, I like to essence craft my claws so I do the same with my atlas tree. In SSF Harvest will also be very helpful.

I will be posting some update stuff to my YouTube and maybe a leveling guide if I have the time :D

https://github.com/ShamefulPenguin/Path-Of-Exile-Filter/blob/master/3.19%20Filters.zip

Updated filter, has all basic strictness and a SH one I made hiding gear bases I don't want and showing good ones (Armour/Evasion)
Just some feedback. I have been running this build in SSF. I was really on the fence between raider & deadeye for a while. I am glad I chose deadeye. The build is performing better than expected. I was stuck on a 4L until level 85 and still had no problem in yellow maps. Also with crafting being in shambles you have a lot of room to work with. I rarely ever die. Only change I made was I did grab marked for death (culling strike on marked enemy)
