Ranger Deadeye Build

POE Betrayal Deadeye Voidfletcher Build - Low Budget Viabe, Fast, Endgame

Gameplay

Tshot for single-target, Ice shot to clear, and the mirage archer on ice shot helps pick off stragglers or clear other packs automatically. Firing off one ice shot against a boss will get the mirage archer procced to auto-fire for a few seconds while you switch to using tshot, effectively allowing you to attack with your single-target setup while mirage archer adds a little bit more by attacking with about ~35% of your ice shot's dps.

Gems Setup

Tornado Shot - Elemental Damage with Attacks - Cold Penetration - Added Cold - Hypothermia - (choice 6th)

Ice Shot - Elemental Damage with Attacks - Pierce - Added Cold - Mirage Archer - (choice 6th)

These are the main damage setups, Tshot mostly for focused damage and ice shot for clearing and mirage archer supporting dps.

For the 6th links, i use Faster Attacks for both Tshot and ice shot. There's other supports that could result in better dps, but all in all with the relatively low attack speed in the build and the plentiful dps already, i've elected to go with faster attacks to keep things smoother and allow me to attack-and-move more ably (which is important vs uber elder in particular)

As for the other setups

Cast when Damage Taken - Immortal Call - Increased Duration - Vaal Grace

Frenzy - Blink Arrow - Faster Attacks - Culling StrikeHerald of Ice - Hatred

CWDT-IC for defense, Vaal Grace-Inc duration for defense (especially in incursions), HoI and Hatred for base cold damage and HoI explosions, blink arrow for movement,

frenzy to build up charges for tougher boss fight

POE Betrayal Pathfinder Viper Strike Starter Build - High DPS, Cheap, Fast Speed

Pros

  • + Forget party play, you now have 10( TEN) friends who you can map with
  • + No matter what, the build will be cheap because of common uniques
  • + A lot of uniques that are very strong with this build
  • + Fast as HECK and doesn't need Movement Speed
  • + 15 Second Vaal Blight and Vaal Haste!
  • + So many defensive layers that I need to use a spoiler
  • + Fight against the evil corruption of Uber Elder with friends!

Gems Setup

BODY

Viper Strike - Deadly Ailments - Vile Toxins - Melee Splash - Added Chaos Damage - Ancestral Call for mapping and Multistrike for bossing

Our main damage skill. If you feel that you're dying a lot or need more regen, try using multistrike for mapping.

Most important to level up is Viper Strike, then Vile Toxins & Added Chaos damage, all 3 are REALLY good at level 21.

Viper Strike Level 21 gem is better than level 20 with 20 quality since it gives you +1 range.

Added Chaos damage gives us most damage at level 21.

Vile Toxins gives you 5% more damage with hits per poison at level 21.

WEAPON 1

Vaal Blight - Herald of Purity - Ancestral Protector

We get 5 friends from this! Ancestral Protector is mainly to get 20% MORE attack speed, which is A LOT! Herald of Purity is to have more friends, more damage for us and fun poison stacks!

Vaal Blight is the biggest DPS buff you can have and it also slows enemies by 80%. I've pretty much gone as far as completely stunning T16 Guardians with it + Vaal Cold Snap.

WEAPON 2

Cast When Damage Taken Level 1 - Immortal Call level 3 - Vaal Cold Snap level 1

This is what enemies get blasted with when they attack us. Don't ever level up above these levels or your setup won't work. The main function of Immortal Call is to proc Soul of Arakaali Pantheon. Even though Vaal Skill don't work with CWDT, the Vaal skills also have a normal version attached to them which does work and the Vaal version will be able to be casted manually.

Manually casting Vaal Cold Snap gives you frenzy charges and freezes enemies - use it for bosses and strong targets!

BOOTS

Vaal Double Strike - Withering Touch - Lesser Poison - Faster Attacks

These hop into boots since once we get Increased Duration on Elder rare Boots which make it a 5 link and their duration goes to 15 seconds. The duration of these skills is super long because of our passive tree and boots.

Holds 2 stacks, both can be used at the same time, use only Vaal version of the skill. This is super good for bosses and hard encounters. It applies tons of poisons and also Withering which increase our DPS output a lot. Plus we get 4 more friends!

HELMET

Whirling Blades - Fortify - Faster Attacks - Blood Magic

Main movement skills, scales with attack speed and movement speed is irrelevant. You should use it as your main method of moving even during bosses to proc Fortify which makes you take 20% less damage from Hits. This doesn't drain any mana from us, only health.

GLOVES

Herald of Agony - Pierce - Maim or Empower LV3 / 4 - Minion Damage (+ Vile Toxins if using Embalmber's Gloves )

This is our cool friend who helps us with clearing and killing + gives us MORE poison damage! Keeping high stacks is VERY easy.

Ranger Raider Builds

POE Betrayal Raider Cyclone Starter Build - Pure Physical, Cheap, Friendly
