Hi!

As in every league, I'm bringing another top-tier setup that I've assembled and optimized myself. This time it's an Ice Shot Deadeye built for players who want incredible clear speed, strong survivability, and excellent long-term value retention.

Highlights

• 500k+ Ice Shot DPS
• 30k+ eHP, making it exceptionally tanky for an Ice Shot build
• 150+ Item Rarity (before Rite of Passage)
• Extremely high movement speed - you absolutely fly through maps and the clear speed feels amazing

A few notes regarding the setup:

• DPS could be increased by a few hundred thousands with a rare quiver, but I'm using Cadiro's Gambit because it's simply too much fun to play with.
• The same applies to Headhunter. A Mageblood is an option, but I've been farming Abysses where Headhunter is arguably BIS. For most other content, I'd probably switch to Mageblood. These are sidegrades rather than upgrades, depending on your preferred content.

One thing worth highlighting is the bow itself. I specifically chose an Onslaught suffix bow over a mirrored alternative. Personally, I hate playing bow builds without permanent Onslaught and, despite having the budget for a mirrored bow, I never felt the trade-off was worth it.

This is by far the best Onslaught bow I've seen this league, and it's also uncorrupted, which leaves room for future min-maxing with Hinekora's Locks.


Some notes about defense

• PoB doesn't correctly account for more than 500 additional ES that the character has in-game, so actual survivability is even higher.
• Chaos Resistance isn't capped. Capping it at 75% would push the eHP significantly higher if desired.


Investment Value

I've been running this exact setup for days and none of the key items have lost value. In fact, several pieces have appreciated since I bought them. This is the kind of build you can enjoy for a long time without watching your investment disappear.

If you're looking for one of the smoothest and most enjoyable mapping experiences available this league, this setup delivers.

2fg

90k start

Thank you for a very decent start!

Sold belt, quiver and bow separately and rebought:
- a similar bow (5 pdps less and corrupted, probably worth ~200d less than the old one)
- bis mapping mageblood ~550d worth (worth 200d more than HH)
- 6x t1 GG quiver (worth 250d more than Cadiro's)

overall build's worth the same as it was.

bump

Btw, I change my mind. Mageblood with Quicksilver, Silver, Sulphur and Diamond is better than HH.
