[3.5] Lioneye's Glare Ele Conversion Raider (all content, videos up)

One more thing to consider: Chin Sol weapon swap for bosses (at least ones that are knockback immune). A ton more damage than Lioneyes at point blank, but annoying if you cant corner non-immune boss.

Opens the possibility for Kaoms too (6.5-7k life), but already moving a little away from Ashrend raider...

The only way for deadeye to sustain frenzies on boss I could come up with was to use blood rage and The Red Trail (dunno if they work together or not BTW) but no more zana breach mod so that means they are gonna cost something like a kidney. But if it works the way I think paired with tailwind easily stackable to 10 against bosses, you could get a fuckton of APS for full deeps and a lot of MS as well.

I will be going with this build once again in Bestiary league. I will post all the updates in this thread and on top of the first post.

Seems like it's going to be pretty fun to be a hipster class for once, when everyone goes Deadeye ^^'

Absolutely, with all the hype for Deadaye I dont think too many people will play Raider.

Can you give an insight on how you plan on leveling a bit? Especially single target early on, before having a good bow and 4 link Barrage? I was trying a bit on the last days to find the best way, only played to act 2 several times and tried to use shrapnel shot or barrage linked to bleed/maim but everything didn't seem too strong on the single target. Even tried one run with starting as a maurauder for muling a molten strike with ancestral call to the ranger, but this was not really better (Brutus was a pita). Right now it seems the best way is to use Bruning arrow linked maybe to mirage archer? Combined with an occasional caustic arrow, fire trap and decoy totem. Always difficult to manage the sockets and links. AOE dmg is fine with split arrow -> ice shot+lmp -> lightning arrow+lmp.

Which order for ascendencys would you suggest? Right now I think I will go with Rapid assault -> avatar of chase -> way of poacher -> avatar of slaughter. Was also thinking to mix it up to Rapid assault -> way of poacher -> avatar of chase -> avatar of slaughter. But first one might be better. What will you do?

How will u deal with freezes if u drop avatar of the veil?

I think I'm done with leveling using bows, I did it 2 times before and it was always pretty bad. I'm just going to use Frost Blades/blade flurry up until Blood Aqueduct and when I get Lioneye I'll switch.

Ascendancy order I think Chase first for sure for that 40% MS/attack speed then Slaughter.

How good does this work? The tree gives not too much damage to the sklls, especially Blade flurry. Is it strong enough on its own, just with a respective weapon? Tried a quick run with frost blades, but again had major problems with brutus. Frost blades where really fine for AOE, but single target was lackluster. Any advice on how to handle single targets? Also I was dropping way more useful bows than melee weapons xD
