Zoomy Ice shot & Snipe dual-set Deadeye

Hello everyone

Sharing my build for people that want a zoom zoom archer build with screen explosion quite alike PoE1 elemental archers used to be. Boss kill is also good thanks to the new dual speccing introduced in POE2 allowing an elemental clearspeed setup and a pure phys / bleed setup for bossing.

Please enjoy the build and any feedback is welcome

Hah, Mathil last vid is kind of similar to my build so you can have an idea of how it plays since it uses the same core idea of frost dmg + HoI + Polcirkeln. This build though have argueably even more clear speed (Ice shot is far better when properly setup than spiral volley) and way better bossing by using dual spec into bleed. Globally more fleshed out.

Thank you for the build, enjoying it right now, the only problem i have is that i can't really do much with the snipe, typically it is easier to just spam ice shots into the tough enemies until they die, results in faster killing. Also when snipe is used on rares, there are typically minions everywhere, they run around, attack you while you charge the shot, eat snipes instad of the rare (lol), etc etc.

But apart from that, the build is amazing to play! Pew pew, everything dies, clear is great, i am pushing my atlas like crazy, just found my first citadel :)

Thanks for your feedback !
yes snipe is a bit clunky to use on rares, i usually only use it if an exceptionally tough rare gives me trouble, most of the time i just put a RoA on rares and it usually is enough if they survive the map explosion. Other time i just use a tornado shot, works well too and you don't have to aim.
Its only use really is for high difficulty bosses and pinnacle where just spamming ice shot won't cut it dps wise.

By the way i forgot one detail on the build is that when i started to suffer mana issues i ended up using lifetap on RoA. Not only does it voids the cost of your most expensive skill but it turns it into efficient mana regen since it does a lot of pure phys damage, making your mana leech work overtime.

Good luck in your grind :)
