The build uses theLightning Arrowin the beginning before fullytransitioning intoGas Grenadeat around Level 22.
And while it has amulti-button playstyle, it feels incredibly smooth to play,thanks to Deadeye.
Your basic rotation is tospam Lightning Rodon top of a pack, followed byusing LA until everything is dead.
Continue with this combountil you unlock theOrb of Storms.
Also, do not forget to use theHerald of Thunder, as it vastlyimproves your clear-speed.
If not, keep on upgrading your Mana Flask.
Alternatively, if you’re able to somehowget enough Spirit, you cansupport the Herald of ThunderwithClarity.
After youunlock theExplosive Shot, feel free toremove the Flame Wall.
You will not get access toGas Grenadeuntil Level 22.
Before you swap, getCluster Bombs,Volatile Catalyst, andVolatile Grenades.
If you haveissues with Manawhile using Lightning Arrow, useLightning Rodpaired with theOrb of Storms.
Evasion is one of our core defensive layers, which is whyAfterimageandBackup Planare very valuable nodes.
What Is The Ascendancy Choice
Our choice of Ascendancy for the build isDeadeye.
Wind Ward
This isnot the tankiest buildout there, which is why werecommend all the defensive nodesyou can get.
You also getincreased Skill Speedfrom the small node.
Projectile Proximity Specialisation Point Blank
Since it is a Grenade-build, thePoint Blank nodeis free damage.
Endless Munitions
This lets youfire an additionalGas Grenade, which is ahuge DPS increase.
it’s possible for you to allocate it in the campaign, butpermanently having Tailwindfeels a lot better.
During leveling, there is no need to worry about having the best bases.
Are There Any Mandatory Uniques?
There areno mandatory uniques neededfor the build to function.
However, there area few itemsthat add somemuch-needed QOLimprovements.
None of these items, by any means, are the best-in-slot.
But if you arenot a fan of multi-buttonplaystyle, do try them out.
However, one majordownside of using it is 15% MS.
If you could get Rare Boots with 30% or higher Movement Speed, they will feel much better.
Moreover, you are able to use boots with a higher Movement Speed.
Again, it is not needed, and you arefree to wear a rare helmetif you need stats.
