Looking for Advice to Push My Lightning Arrow Deadeye Further

Hi everyone,

Here is my current build: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/CmoiPhenix-7331/character/Rhoudgy

I’m playing a fairly classic Deadeye Lightning Arrow setup. At this point the build feels very strong — I clear juiced T16+ maps comfortably without any real issues, and the damage already feels very high.

However, I’d really like to push the character even further.

Recently I started sacrificing a bit of survivability (for example replacing my ES helmet with a more offensive option) to squeeze out more DPS. I don’t die often, but when I do it’s usually a one-shot due to bad positioning. That was already the case before the defensive changes, and I understand that with an evasion-based character, avoiding every single hit is unrealistic — eventually something goes through and you get one-shot.

So my current mindset is: if I’m going to be vulnerable to occasional one-shots anyway, I might as well push the damage to absurd levels. If enemies die before they can react, the risk naturally goes down.

My medium-term goal is to progress deeper into larger Temple setups. I know Lightning Arrow Deadeye is not the most optimal Temple farmer compared to some other archetypes, but I still believe the character can be pushed significantly further.

Budget-wise, I don’t have mirror-tier currency yet, and I’m not currently in a position to buy multi-mirror items. That said, I’m generating Divines at a decent pace and I’m not opposed to heavy investment. I’m currently saving several hundred Divines, mainly planning to upgrade my charms next.

I originally started from Fubgun’s build, and from there I’ve been refining using PoB and poe.ninja. But I’ll be honest — I’m reaching a point where progression feels unclear. Any meaningful DPS upgrade seems to require mirror-tier gear, and I’m not sure what the smartest next steps are without going into that territory.

If anyone has advice on:

- What should be upgraded first

- Where the biggest efficiency gains still are

- Whether I should adjust scaling (crit, flat, added proj, etc.)

- Or if there’s a smarter direction to take the build

I’d really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
