Need help with Lightning Arrow Deadeye
" it's getting a little pricey for bow like this(dualstring bow) |

You dont need a Dualstring bow because that exact same mod can roll as a suffix on every bow instead of being an implicit.
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/9voWO0RuK Those bows start around 45-50ex instead of divs and you should be able to farm that relatively quickly. Your current bow doesnt really have any useful suffixes (phys mana leech wont do much cuz LA converts 70 or 80% phys dmg to lightning anyways) |

" but what about all lvl of skills? shouldn't I have +5 always? Last edited by Gost448#2723 on Jan 16, 2025, 4:55:36 PM

What? Its still 50ex.
And no, dont go for extra lvl ever when you are playing atk based builds. Totems and Concoctions might the exception here but everything else doesnt get anything noteworthy from having extra lvl but you will pay way way more manacost if you do go for it. That has been my point the entire time and thats why I wanted you to downscale the gem lvl and compare the tooltip dps as well as manacost. Atk based build scale off weapons not lvls and might get maybe 2-5% dmg per gem lvl, which is laughably bad. Especially if the weapon starts off having only about 100-120 pDPS, because then those tiny percentages do nothing. What you need is a bow that does actually deal dmg, physical dmg at that, and get rid of all those extra lvl everywhere. Thats gonna fix both your issues in the dmg department as well as manacost. |

" If I will get rid off all +lvl to skills what lvl of skill gem I should use on LA then? And should I get rid off from + lvl even from my quiver? |

Yeah get rid off all the extra lvls for bowskills.
Now I cant tell you exaclty which lvl you should use. Thats on you to determine but its not hard to figure out. Like when I looked at Flammability curse for the first time, it did cost some 70 mana and reduced fire res by 32% at lvl7, which is the lowest lvl you can get. So far, so good. When I wanted to lvl it up to lvl17 I checked the stats in the lvlup window again and I saw it would cost about 200 mana now and would reduce fire res by 35%. In what world is worth paying about triple the mana for an additional 3% res reduction? Thats obviously BS and you should never ever upgrade curses unless you dont have to pay manacosts like in a Blasphemy setup. But other than that this is 100% a no no. You can do the same thing. Check the base LA dmg at lvl1 and manacost as well. Take notes if you have to. Check again at lvl10, 15 and 19 or whatever. Keep in mind its showing the base manacost BEFORE manacost scaling from supportgems. Anyways. The point is to find the sweetspot for your current build given the current gear. So its not set in stone and you may have to re-evaluate, if major changes occur. Other than that: If you can sustain mana while using your abilities as often as you like, kill shit and it feels overall comfy - thats exactly where you want to be in this very moment and it can or rather will change down the road. PoE is a giant puzzle with a lot of moving pieces. Once you understand and embrace that fact, the game becomes much more accessible |
