Need Help with LA Deadeye - hitting a wall

Hi,

Im starting to hit a wall with my LA deadeye.

Im at lvl 10-11 maps, and I'm starting to lose power. I just procured new boots, rings, amulet, gloves and weapons. Left with only few Divines, not sure what can I improve. Im running out of mana, and monsters are starting to eating me. My best friend is dodge button.


Should I respec - To a standard build from Fubgun or Crouching Tuna? :P

Hi,

So i plugged my character in POB2 (items, jewels, skills). And compared my current build vs Fubgun (at 112 Passives) I took out the companion nodes (as I don't have the 4th ascendancy), and the damage numbers are lower with Fubgun. Mana pool and mana regen are reduces.

The health pool increases by ~25%, the survivability is the only piece that increases.

I understand that when using the build, i would combo skills and the POB cannot calculate that - mark + Lighning rod, tornado, LA. There are multitude of things going in. But still.

Can you give any tips on my equipment, what should be improved and how - market or craft. Would be good to hear, as we are at the end of the league and I would like to push it as far as I can with pinacle encounters.
Ok, short followup. Can someone explain to me where the Fubgun and Crouching Tuna get their dexterity from? both of their suggested (hybrid) head pieces are super intelligence heavy on requirements.

Looking at Crouching Tuna build from Maxroll. He has ~40 Int in stats. The headpiece requires ~107-115. Even with reduced requirements it requires 86. No other gear is proposed to give any INT.

What is this sorcery, what am I missing?
Hey, couple of quick notes in case they help:
- Trees in guides (maxroll etc) are usually not perfectly accurate in that people don't always allocate the right attribute on attribute nodes vs just showing all dex or whatever, so you may have to vary your tree if you're copying Fubgun etc (also your gear / reqs may be different etc)
- Not having 4th ascendancy is a big deal! And should be a very solvable problem
- Your rings are not good - need at least 2 flat damage mods on each - and lots of "wasted" mod slots in your gear in general (rarity is useless if you can't clear effectively; life regen is junk for this build period; also not sure you need that much stun threshold; and +X mana after each kill is the best way to solve for mana while clearing, mana regen on your ammy won't cut it)
- Is that the best bow you can get for a few divs? I'd recommend a Warmonger bow
- None of your gems have % quality! Gemcutter's prisms are cheap
- Headhunter belt is super helpful for clearing even though it doesn't boost sheet DPS

Hope that helps, and good luck!

Hi Thanks for the reply. The Ninja link might be old. I got myself warmongers, thanks.

I will check to upgrade the rings, and remove the + regen items.

I had completely neglected the gem quality, thanks for pointing that out.
