Lightning Arrow Deadeye for PoE 2 0.5.5
Use Fubgun’s separate campaign guide for leveling, then switch to the Early variant of his endgame setup when entering maps. The guide prioritises capped elemental resistances, a strong bow and flat attack damage before more expensive upgrades.
Campaign and first maps
Follow the original campaign guide for skills and gems available at each stage. At maps, select Early in the endgame guide, tagged 0.5.5 Forbidden Rites. Import or inspect the tree for your current stage before changing passives.
Gear checkpoints
- Bow: compare affordable options by physical and elemental DPS. The guide suggests an Obliterator Bow as one option.
- Rings and gloves: look for flat damage to attacks. Fubgun prioritises lightning or physical damage.
- Defences: aim for 75% fire, cold and lightning resistance as described in the Early variant.
- Attributes: check each gem and item’s requirements before buying a replacement. A damage upgrade can cost you the attributes needed to equip another piece.
Compare the Early, Midgame, Hybrid Endgame and Crit Endgame variants in Fubgun’s build planner for the full gear and support-gem setup. Switch variants when your gear meets the new setup’s requirements.
Picking maps for your gear
Judge upgrades on maps you can finish consistently. Check the modifiers before stepping up a tier and note whether deaths, single-target damage or recovery are slowing the run. Use the Waystone farming guide to pick a starting route.
This is the 0.5.5 setup. Recheck the original guide after 1.0 changes to skills, supports and passives.
