How Many Players Will Start Deadye?

Probably like ~30-40% if it it stays like this at launch.
There's also the possibility that it won't be as op as we all think right now, since there are just so many unknown variables right now (Like the passive tree for example).

If it turns out to be as op as it we think, quite some people might switch to deadeye and inflate the numbers by a lot though. It was pretty much the same with Amazon in 0.2.

MS is OP in PoE2!

I will stick with my Huntress / Amazon that I was learning and experimenting in 0.2. I didn't follow any guide then and won't follow any in 0.3.

Lightning Spear Amazon. Loved it in 0.2 and will create one for 0.3. Reached L94 with LS Amazon and it felt pretty solid not only for boss killing but also for T15/16 Mapping. Can't wait.

One thing I like about this and specially the build I run in 0.2 is it's strong even with the nerfs in the things that made it sound broken in 0.3 for LS.

I simply dodged all those nerfs because when I was playing it in 0.2 I wasn't aware about the TT and Frenzy Charges. I wasn't even running or using them and my Amazon is still strong in T15/16 maps. I was mostly comboing Primal Strikes, Elemental Sundering and Lightning Spear with a rare Spear.

There was a poll already on reddit, around 25-30%

Maybe less no since GGG last second nerfed EV lol. Seems like until you get a lot of EV your gonna take more hits.

Player Changes
Player Evasion now works on all hits except boss skills that have a red flash.
The Evasion formula has been adjusted to lower the percentage of hits that will be evaded by a given amount of evasion.

Yeah Xd
I'm not going to try to convince you
deadeye t h e b e s t !

I'm not playing Deadeye but I will have dedicated merchant tabs for spears/bows to sell to the hungry crowds

Honestly, I doubt more than twenty to thirty percent are going to start as deadeye. You guys have to remember that the casual masses aren't clued into this sort of thing at all, they're just gonna pick a class almost at random and only use recommended skills and supports.

Now, as for what percent of good players are going to start deadeye... it's entirely possible that more than half of all players who reach the pinnacle bosses in the first month will be doing it on deadeyes. I'd say ninety percent if not for the nerfs since the patch notes. It's still the best class overall, but even a placebo nerf can have a chilling effect.
